Heavy Metals in Calcium Supplements
-
According to my hair mineral analysis, I need to supplement calcium. I consume plenty of dairy, but apparently I am not absorbing it or enough of it.
The htma coach I am working with suggested I take calcium citrate, gluconate, or taurinate. I prefer whole food supplements and found this whole fish bone calclium from Traditional Foods https://www.traditionalfoods.org/fish-bone-calciu-mchc-powder.html
I asked them for a COA for heavy metals and this is what they sent me:
When converted to PPB these all seem way too high.
However, I have found articles and studies finding heavy metal contamination common in many other calcium supplements.Has anyone else researched this or found clean calcium supplements? I have eggshells from my own chickens, but the htma coach did not think calcium carbonate was a well absorbed form.

Here is a website doing crowd funded heavy metal testing on many things. Most things have been contaminated. They have a small list of products that tested acceptable. I don't think they have much in the way of Safe supplements, but if this testing is correct, it shows how contaminated everything is. Ray Peat would have been correct in his statement that supplements will have heavy metal residues
