Great question. Sometimes, food that grows in the ground can take up trace amounts of heavy metals like Lead, Cadmium, and Arsenic from the soil.

And even though these heavy metals are impossible to eliminate - they are naturally occurring in products that grow in the ground - we believe in sourcing the best ingredients available. And to us, at Truvani, that means finding ingredients that naturally test low for heavy metals.

We say test low, because in reality, you can’t ever really remove heavy metals. They are naturally occurring. But one source of pea protein, as an example, may test higher in heavy metals than another source. So, we scour the world for ingredients that pass our strict standards for heavy metals…
