Lead in my multivitamin.


Has anyone seen this artcle?
A vitamin a day may do more harm than good - Diet & Nutrition - MSNBC.com

A study done by consumerlab.com found Lead in the womans formula "Vitamin Shoppe" Brand..

i use VitaminShoppe Megaman multivitamin. So this has made me throw up the red flags. Maybe im paranoid or maybe its just propaganda.

My search has also found that Vitamin Shoppe pulled the womans formula off the shelf.

the wise internet says, the symptoms of lead poisoning include constipation, low energy, and headache..

Ive been using vitaminshoppe for about 2 years now,, and in those two years i've had migranes that have been happening to me. Ive never had migranes, and i figured maybe im just getttin old (32). But needless to say, I am a little alarmed about this news.

Im thinking about heading out to GNC today..

I guess the saying goes "you get what you payfor"

What Multi do you guys use??

Have you had your migraines diagnosed as migraines by a doctor? If not, you really need to see a doctor because migraine-like symptoms can be caused by many illnesses.

Who is to say that the same thing couldn't happen in GNC vitamins? I've never heard of this lab that did the testing, so I have to wonder how reliable and accurate they are in their testing.
