Is There Lead In My Calcium Supplements?
By Dani Walker
One of the greatest contaminators of lead in blood, the brain and the human body is an unseen health risk of great importance. Children and women taking larger amounts of calcium, don’t know, that lead contaminates most products. It is not on the label but it occurs naturally with lead. Studies show a person taking a calcium supplement may absorb twice as much lead as calcium. Yet health agencies do nothing because these calcium supplements, although contaminated with lead, are grandfathered into the approval process years ago and like cigarettes, although a terrible health risk, cannot be removed.
Two-thirds of those calcium supplements failed to meet the 1999 California criteria for acceptable lead levels (1.5 µg/daily dose of calcium) in consumer products. Lead Found In Calcium Supplements
A Third of Pills Contained Lead Researchers at the University of Florida, Gainesville, are reporting that eight of the 22 calcium products they tested — including popular national brands such as Caltrate 600 — contained lead, the toxic metal that can lead to anemia, high blood pressure, brain and kidney damage in adults and developmental damage in children. Lead in Calcium Supplements
Earlier this month (January), an expert panel advising the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention cut in half the levels of lead in children. Researchers have yet to find any level of lead exposure that doesn’t cause harm.
Recent research has found lead is harmful at much lower levels than previously thought, and is most harmful to children.
