  This is Vital Proteins brilliant response to being taken to court over heavy metal and “foreign materials” contamination in their products. Do you have any supporting links? I saw a reddit post saying something similar but I cant find a real article or support. Either way I am returning the product.

    Found searching ‘“vital proteins” lawsuit’

    Sued by an environmental nonprofit for failing to warn about the presence of lead and heavy metals as required by CA law. They settled.

      Seems like a labelling issue due to california laws rather than legitimate ingredient flaws with toxic or heavy metals.

        Honestly you should assume all supplements are toxic and full of heavy metals, because that shit is virtually unregulated.

      prop 65 is a useless law that goes against known science about hazard limits, causing manufacturers to have to label nearly everything with warnings. if a company is violating that law, it usually doesn’t mean much.

  I’m sure they definitely didn’t think removing all those pesky “foreign materials” and next-gen metals from they products…
