NaturalNews: Natural News breakthrough: laboratory-validated functional mushrooms
Dear Lisbon Reporter and NaturalNews readers,
Today we're annoucing a true breakthrough in functional mushrooms (Reishi, Shiitake, Maitake, Cordyceps, etc.) which are USA-grown and laboratory validated to be virtually free of all heavy metals.
Here's the full text of the remarkable innovations we are now making available to our readers, fans and customers!
The big problem with functional mushrooms sold these days is that so many of them are contaminated with toxic heavy metals
because they're grown in China. This is well known across the industry,
but nobody talks about it publicly because they don't want customers to
know the truth.
What truth is that? Many of the "medicinal
mushrooms" sold on the market today are grown in China, and they're
grown in contaminated media materials which contain alarming
concentrations of heavy metals like lead.
Lead is a common
contaminant in cheaply-grown functional mushrooms like Reishi, Shiitake,
Maitake and Cordyceps. High lead equals a cheap price, and because so
many mushrooms are marketed on price alone -- with no disclosure of
their heavy metals content -- the low price usually wins. As a result,
many consumers who think they're buying high-end "medicinal" mushrooms
are also buying a whole lot of lead.
An industry first: Low Heavy Metals Verified functional mushrooms grown in the USA
But today, we're changing all that. Over the past year, we meticulously sourced extremely clean, high-potency functional mushrooms grown and harvested in the USA and laboratory verified to contain extremely low levels of heavy metals.
We
did this because as an industry innovator and pioneer in the realm of
heavy metals, we actually care about what our customers are consuming.
Most retailers never test any of their products for heavy metals, but we test EVERYTHING for heavy metals (and we reject most sources of raw materials).
We
also believe consumers have a right to know what they're eating when it
comes to mushrooms, or chlorella, or rice protein or any other
superfood. On top of that, we strive to support U.S. farmers and growers who produce quality products right here in North America.
That's why we've just launched www.LowHeavyMetalsVerified.org
It's
a non-profit, open-source website describing a set of strict standards
for low heavy metals in superfoods, herbs, supplements and more.
When we subjected our own functional mushrooms to ICP-MS laboratory testing for heavy metals, they rated as follows:
Lion's Mane: A++
Reishi: A+++
Maitake: A+++
Cordyceps: A+++
Shiitake: A+++
Turkey Tail: A++
Every one of these mushrooms tests at zero lead and cadmium, with a detection limit below 5 parts per billion.

Super clean, USA-grown mushrooms
Our laboratory-validated mushrooms are grown in a super clean medium of USA-grown brown rice. Our mushrooms are never
grown in animal manure! Nothing comes from China, and every single
production lot is tested for heavy metals using our Forensic Food Lab.
Every
single mushroom product we sell is validated and rated with a
certification seal, confirming the heavy metals content. These extremely
low heavy metals levels can be confirmed by any ICP-MS laboratory.
Now,
for the first time in history, people who buy functional mushrooms have
a new, informed choice: laboratory-validated mushrooms with total
transparency about what they truly contain.
Click here to get some now.
Welcome to the new era of superfoods validated for low heavy metals
The heavy metals standards described at www.LowHeavyMetalsVerified.org are not just for Natural News; they're for everyone who wishes to use them.
This is a non-profit, non-commercial, open-source effort to bring increased transparency to foods, superfoods, herbs and more.
What you are going to see from here forward is more and more companies seeking to validate the heavy metals composition of their products using this scale, from "A+++" down to "F."
Products
that rate "A" or higher will see a premium price in the marketplace.
Products with lower ratings (or with no ratings at all) will have to be
sold at lower prices because their heavy metals composition will be a
mystery.
How will these low heavy metals ratings be regulated or
policed? We will purchase off-the-shelf products that claim validated
heavy metals levels and spot check them for accuracy. Any companies who
are blatantly and maliciously lying about their heavy metals levels will
be publicly exposed, so companies are strongly encouraged to test every
single production lot if they intend to claim compliance with these
voluntary standards.
Natural News Store is the first retailer in history to be Low Heavy Metals Verified
Watch for
more products across the Natural News Store to be Low Heavy Metals
Verified! We are the first retailer to adhere to such standards, and
it's just one of the many ways in which Natural News is leading the
natural products industry in the direction of enhanced consumer trust,
transparency and safer products.
Quite literally, we are setting the standards
for the industry; standards that mean cleaner superfoods, enhanced
manufacturer transparency and vastly increased support for clean farming
methods that help protect the natural world around us.
To help support our efforts, shop now at the Natural News Store. And have confidence, knowing we've tested every single product we sell for heavy metals.
Thank you for your support. Our ongoing consumer watchdog efforts would not be possible without your support. :-)
