With reference to heavy metals, considering some trace levels of heavy metals occurring naturally in botanical/ plants/ food ingredients, many regulatory agencies have defined the permissible limits for heavy metal contaminants in herbal medicines after considering the epidemiological aspects of such contaminants. In this direction, both WHO and AYUSH have defined the limits of heavy metals (NMT 10 ppm of lead) in Ayurvedic Medicines. We, at The Himalaya Drug Company, follow these guidelines for all our medicinal products and ensure that our products comply with these regulations. Apart from these, we align with the quality guidelines published by major regulatory agencies like USFDA (12.5mcg/day of lead), Health Canada (10 mcg/day of lead), HSA Singapore (10 ppm of lead), etc., to ensure highest quality of the product.
