Have the lead levels in your psyllium husk product been independently verified by a third party? If so, what are the findings/levels?

FloraHealth Canada

Hi Kevin,
Thanks for asking.
Yes, The Flora Organic Psyllium Husks, like all Flora products, are tested by our in-house lab staff and by one or more third party labs.
We have very strict standards for heavy metals which of course include lead. We do test every lot of the product.
The most recent lot tested at less than 0.1 parts per million for lead using USP method.
I hope that helps.
All the best,
Flora Health

Hi there, Are your organic psyllium husks whole psyllium husks?

FloraHealth Canada

They are psyllium husks, meaning the seed husk. The product is pure whole non-GMO psyllium husks, but being husks it means this is not the entire psyllium plant or the entire seed. Psyllium husks are the most potent source of fibre available in nature they are going to provide a greater proportion of non-fermentable and insoluble fibers than whole seed, making them more suitable for those with constipation and gas than whole seeds.
