Vitamin D testing...To test or not to test
Posted on December 2, 2010 Dave Wetzel
Below is a thread from one of the yahoo groups i belong. i thought the tread is worth a posting on my blog.
it starts off with someone questioning testing blood for vitamin D levels;
"At the 2009 Wise Traditions Conference Dr. Louisa Williams stated that Vitamin D testing only tells you what is circulating in the blood NOT what is actually getting into the tissues where it makes a difference."

Nutrient test data For GPP products is/has been posted on the site for many months
Posted on March 6, 2010 Dave Wetzel
I have listed nutrient test data on the web site for your viewing and general discussion. Click on products, then right column bottom. I did post comments on PCB's but their is not much to discuss on toxins as they are either not detectable or I would simply put ND or the levels are in the trillions/ to the point of not being part of the discussion such as with PCB's.

Converting DV/RDA to IU's
Posted on July 17, 2009 Dave Wetzel
To Convert %DV/RDA to IU's you need to know the standard established buy the FDA.
The common question I receive is the conversation for vitamin A and vitamin D.
100% DV/RDA for vitamin A is 5000 IU's per day
100% DV/RDA for Vitamin D is 400 IU's per day
From this information one can convert any of the products for informational purposes.

testing
Posted on July 10, 2009 Dave Wetzel
Previous blogs have addressed the question, but i guess they are old posts and no longer active.
Yes, We test every batch of product. This is not only a good practive but it is mandated by law. Each Batch is tested several times and by several labs. Our batchs are very small compared to all other industrialized clo's.

Peroxide value
Posted on May 27, 2009 Dave Wetzel
The most recent test on the fermented clo peroxide value came in at .4. This is a typical reading.
The Peroxide value of an oil is used as a measurement of the extent to which rancidity reactions have occurred during storage/processing. Other methods are available but peroxide value is the most widely used.
A great oil is under 1 peroxide value, a good oil is under 10 peroxide value and I would question oils above 10 or 15 peroxide value.
