First, let me say I am NOT a Dr. Weil basher. But I am a discerning
consumer, and before I buy a supplement, I check it out first at
ConsumerLab.com, which independently tests products for potency,
purity, etc.

On 5/31/05 they posted test results and reviews of Calcium/Magnesium
supplements.  Dr. Weil's Balanced Cal-Mag (Magnesium Chelate and
Magnesium Citrate) was not approved because it contained 2.3 mcg of
lead per daily serving, or "more lead than allowed without a warning
label in State of California."

I contacted Dr. Weil about this through his website, and I also posted
a query in the forum. After several months, I have not received a
response and my post never appeared in the forum, so I can only assume
it was blocked.

So, since that avenue hasn't worked, I decided to make the information
public for those who are not ConsumerLab subscribers. BTW, the other
product which flunked due to excessive lead content was Jamieson™,
Natural Sources Calcium Magnesium contained 1.9 mcg of lead per daily
serving.
