Welll, as I posted earlier, NOW told me they get their ingredients from China.
So they may test for specific toxins, but as we're finding out, Chinese medicines and chemicals have all sorts of contaminants. It's been very difficult to figure out what was the contaminant of the heparin, which had undergone "quality control" by our american drug companies.
