Viva Naturals Organic Psyllium Husk Powder contains approximately 4 micrograms (mcg) of lead per 5-gram serving. This is below the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s daily limit of 10 mcg for lead consumption. The presence of lead in psyllium products is due to its natural occurrence in soil where the plants are cultivated. ConsumerLab’s tests found lead in all eight psyllium products it tested, but those with the least contained only 1 mcg of lead or less per 4-gram serving of fiber.
