0.22 ppb

Cadmium is a heavy metal element that occurs naturally but can accumulate via industrial pollution. It is toxic to humans with no biological function.

Arsenic
6 risks
ppb

A toxic metalloid element found in the environment often as a contaminant in water, soil, and food.

Ingredients & minerals

High Oleic Safflower Oil

Inflammation when consumed in excess due to residual omega-6 fatty acids, potential oxidative stress if improperly stored
