It's interesting that the article mentions NY as several years ago the AG in NY had popular store-brand supplements tested and when most failed, to have them removed from shelves.

Thats an interesting article i especially like this quote
At Walmart, the authorities found that its ginkgo biloba, a Chinese plant promoted as a memory enhancer, contained little more than powdered radish, houseplants and wheat — despite a claim on the label that the product was wheat- and gluten-free.
I just had my Dr do a blood workup focusing on heavy metals just to be safe as i have taken a lot or these Omega3 based vitamins over the years. It's ironic that you try to stay healthy only to have dishonest greedy companies fuck you over !
