Consumer Reports tested turmeric and echinacea supplements for lead last year. I don't see your brand among those tested, but you could consider switching to a brand they did test and did meet their strict criteria.
Here part of the article, with high lead brands listed. Full article at the link at the bottom of this post.
None of the products we tested exceeded the lead standards set by U.S. Pharmacopeia (USP), a nonprofit group (see "
How to Choose Botanicals Wisely"). But seven had lead levels that exceeded CR's stricter threshold. "No amount of lead is acceptable," says James E. Rogers, Ph.D., director of food safety research and testing at CR.
A spokesperson for Dollar General said the company stopped selling its affected product (see below) in targeted areas while it analyzed CR's test results. A spokesperson for CVS said the company "commissioned an independent third-party expert [to confirm] that these products meet or exceed all legal and regulatory requirements."
The other products with lead levels that exceeded CR's threshold are all sold by Nature's Bounty companies. "Any lead present is in amounts that are safe," says Ashley Dickerson, a Nature's Bounty spokesperson. What's more, Dickerson says, "most of the lead in the product is naturally occurring." However, CR's Rogers says, "other products we tested were able to keep lead levels under our threshold, so saying it is natural is not an excuse."
