Carcinogen in Folic Acid Several folic acid supplements were recently recalled in Canada due to a carcinogenic impurity that can occur with folic acid (vitamin B-9). For details, see the Quality Concerns section of our B Vitamins Review, which includes our Top Picks for folic acid and B complexes.
Lead in Meta Mucil A CL member asked why Meta Mucil 4-in-1 Fiber powder was not tested by us this year. It is because of the lead contamination we found when we tested it in 2021, as noted in our recent report. Hoping to find less contamination, this year we tested Meta Mucil 3-in-1 capsules, as well as Meta Mucil Fiber Gummies (a prebiotic).
Vitamin K - Name Change The name of one of our Top Picks among vitamin K supplements has changed, although the ingredients remain the same. For details, see our Top Picks among vitamin K supplements.
