Lead. In my vitamins.
Oh, that's just fantastic. Interested that they didn't also test men's vitamins, though OTOH, I don't know any men who take 'em. In any case, this profoundly sucks; my eating habits are weird enough that I really need to not skip the supplement, but I definitely don't need the extra heavy metal. What to do?

Eeeep... are products you take on the list? I did notice a couple of major brands on the list.
Though i also noticed a LOT of brands with name suggesting they mainly get sold at "health food" stores... heh.
I guess i would suggest switching to a major product line that isn't listed from a brand that IS... figuring it would have beent asted, and hopefully been found clean.
On the bright side, all of the one listed are well below PTTI..
Yeah, mine's there -- One-A-Day, as mainstream as it gets. (Apparently just a couple of brands tested truly clean. As in, one or two. Gaaaaaah.) I try to avoid those health-food supplements as much as possible (did you see the story a few days ago re "ayurvedic" medicines turning up with god-knows-what in 'em?), though calcium... well, you don't like milk you gotta do something, right?
