Sphingolin by Ecological Formulas uses cows from New Zealand according to my research.
When I was pregnant I was very anemic and the iron that was available was not working. I switched to a product by Standard Process Labs and I was no longer anemic(or constipated) as my body was able to absorb the iron. It contained bovine everything. Of course i did not know the risks then and I don't think I would have taken the chance with my son, but now it's just me.

The risks of Mad Cow have always been minimal in my research. I've never worried about that. Especially when we all take meds what have side effect warnings as long as our arms. That certainly doesn't stop most of us from using several. And going to the hospital is wayyyyyyy more dangerous and we are all willing to do that. Let's put this in perspective. I also use this product and I rarely get mad these days.
