Arsenic: why a specific control?

Total arsenic measures all forms of arsenic. For batches 012 and 013, inorganic arsenic is also measured separately to refine the control. The European Union currently does not set a generic maximum arsenic content applicable to all food supplements. SHAMBALLA® has chosen to document this parameter according to a level of requirement supplementary to directly applicable legal obligations.

The safety of shilajit is not limited to heavy metals. This batch also documents microbiology and strengthens control with inorganic arsenic and PAH4.

Enhanced controls

Why also screen for PAH4? These four polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are among the contaminants monitored in several food categories. SHAMBALLA® has chosen to document them on recent batches to broaden the level of control beyond heavy metals and microbiology. For batch 013, the four PAHs screened and their sum are below the report's limit of quantification: < 0.50 µg/kg.

Arsenic: why a specific control?

Total arsenic measures all forms of arsenic. SHAMBALLA® documents it on published batches even though the European Union currently does not set a generic maximum arsenic content applicable to all food supplements. Separate quantification of inorganic arsenic was then added to recent batches to further enhance the level of control.
