Tip of the Month from Ursula
A study published by Consumer Reports found that approximately 70% of tested protein powders contained lead levels exceeding the safety threshold. Some products had lead levels over 1,000% of the recommended limit, with plant-based protein powders showing the highest contamination.
If you use Protein Powders on a regular basis and this new information regarding contamination is of concern to you, then contact us today to schedule your Heavy Metal blood test. This simple test can bring you peace of mind and ICHE is here to help.
Heavy Metals found in Protein Powders?
Glutathione Depletion
Glutathione is an antioxidant essential for cellular health & can be depleted by:
*Chronic diseases like diabetes, heart disease, and cancer

(i.e. metalworking or construction)
*Medications like acetaminophen
(i.e. Tylenol) and corticosteroids (i.e. Prednisone)
*Lifestyle factors like poor sleep and high levels of stress
If any of the above apply to you, then ICHE is here to help.
