Is moringa safe? Heavy metals and lab testing explained
Why plant powders can pick up heavy metals, and how every Baomor batch is checked before it's packed.
It's a fair question. Leafy plants take up minerals from the soil they grow in — including, sometimes, small amounts of heavy metals like lead or cadmium. Drying concentrates whatever is in the leaf, so testing really matters for powders.
What we do
- Every batch of our powders is tested by an independent lab for heavy metals and contaminants.
- Processing follows HACCP, a recognised food-safety system that checks for hazards at each step.
- Our powders are a single ingredient. No fillers, colours or additives that could add their own risks.
How to judge any brand
- Does it say the product is tested for heavy metals, and by whom?
- Does it name the country the product comes from? (Ours is Kenya.)
- Can you contact the company with questions and get a real answer?
Who should check with a doctor first
If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking medication or have a health condition, talk to your doctor or pharmacist before adding new foods like moringa to your diet.
