Health Updates 002: FDA warns consumers to stop using six brands of ground cinnamon found to have high levels of lead

It seems like every week now there is a FDA recall on some type of consumer food. Recently there was a new release from the FDA recalling several brands of cinnamon due to lead levels being in excess of the safe limits. 

This example is a clear reminder that not all foods are sourced or manufactured correctly and when this happens what is normally an enjoyable product can become dangerous. 

Unfortunately supplements are no different. Many companies do not test their precursor ingredients or their final product to ensure no unsafe ingredients were included. This is why at Your Personal Pharmacy we educate patients on the importance of only taking supplements which have a 3rd part certification from a reputable inspector such as NSF. 

If your supplements do not have such certification, as illustrated above you could be putting your health at risk or even harming yourself by ingesting hazardous chemicals or ingredients. 

Contact Your Personal Pharmacist today to learn more about how we educate and provide strategies to remove this risk from your supplement and wellness regimens today.
