What does 'low cadmium' cacao mean?Updated 22 days ago

Cadmium is a heavy metal that the body can’t easily process, so it builds up over time. This can potentially affect the kidneys, lungs, bones and foetal development.

Food, especially cacao and cocoa, can be a high source of cadmium depending on where the beans are grown and processed.

When we created our collagen creamers, we wanted to help reduce your exposure to heavy metals, so we only use raw organic low cadmium cacao that’s been third-party tested.

We also test for salmonella, mould and pH level.
