This product contains lead!!!!!! how is that safe?????

Letter from the Company... and I quote the entire letter they sent me after I asked about the LEAD in this product."Hello Bea, Thank you for contacting MacroLife Naturals and your interest in our products. You have come to the right place! Some of our products have to have the Prop 65 warning that you see on the Macro Greens & Miracle Reds. Since this is a California law only we have two different labels, one to sell in California & one that ships out of state. I don't know how familiar you are with Prop 65 (The Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986) but it was a VERY poorly written Proposition that was written and passed by a California vote to protect the drinking water that California buys from other states. The Proposition was also to protect lead amounts in children's toys. It unfortunately is so poorly written that is does not account for naturally occurring lead in the worlds soils. Prop 65 applies to all retail products sold in California and since our products are all natural, each ingredient contains the normal naturally occurring amount of lead (it's a trace mineral after all) and when added together is slightly above the Prop 65 level of 0.5mcg per serving. The warning is EVERYWHERE and on many product labels in California including Starbucks, office buildings, restaurants, grocery stores, even Disneyland has it plastered on food menus and signs around the park. Rest assured that our family company is committed to the continued safety of all Macro Life products. The warning has been added to ensure compliance with Proposition 65 so that we can continue serving our valued customers in California. No other state or country requires this statement, only California. The chemical in question is lead, an element that can be found commonly or naturally in soil, plants, and water. MacroLife formulas and products are healthy combinations of vegetables, fruits, berries, herbs, and herbal ingredients grown naturally. MacroLife Naturals does not add any lead to any of its products. The State of California requires a warning for any product sold in California that would result in a consumer ingesting more than 0.5 micrograms of lead in a day. This is an exceedingly low level and 1000 times less than the level of exposure that has been shown by the WHO (World Health Organization) to have no observable effect on humans or animals. As a result, prop-65 law sets an extremely low amount of 0.5mcg level. For example a serving of asparagus contains more than prop-65 allowed levels. Most vegetables, herbs, fruits, and berries contain naturally occurring low levels of lead that when combined add up to slightly more than the threshold of 0.5mcg. Rather than changing our formulas and offering customers in California a sub-par and less effective formula, we chose to abide by the Proposition and place the warning on our products. Attached is a PDF with some explanation and a graph showing you some of this information. I also attached a more comprehensive explanation of the Proposition. There is a page on our website explaining Prop 65. Here is the link. http://macrolifenaturals.com/california-prop-65/ Prop 65 is a big headache to say the least and in the affecting thousands of companies that sell into CA! This Prop is a revenue stream for lawyers looking for a payday because about 80% of the settlement goes to the attorneys it is very lucrative. Here is another good link to another one of my friends companies that has some great graphs that show how ridiculous this Prop is.http://media.essentiallivingfoods.com/blog/prop-65-warning/ Example: The FDA Tolerable Intake of Lead (adult) is 75mcg per day. The Prop 65 level is 0.5mcg I hope you find this information valuable in making sure you are comfortable with enjoying our product and the benefits for you and your kids!

A Real Review

I don't write too many reviews but upon looking through images of this product & reading the accompaning horse-headed negative comments, I had to throw in my 2 cents:1. California Lead Warning - Any animal or plant from the ocean contains lead, mercury or a variety of heavy metals. This has been part of the overall decline of the environment going back years. For anyone who has written a negative review with complete surprise of the California warning label on the Macro Greens product - you are part of the problem why this decline is continuing to happen. Google 'lead in ocean fish' &/or Google 'ocean pharmaceutical contaminants'. What is surprising is the complete ignorance of these reviewers to the reality we live in now. My guess for this warning label is that Macro Greens contains chlorella which is harvested from the ocean & because of this, the warning label must be attached legally. Chlorella harvested off American shores is much better than anything harvested in China or Southeast Asia so calm down.2. Half Filled Cannister - This product is a powder. As such, powder is constituted of 2 things. Solids & air. When an item that is powder is packaged, it is filled to the brim of the container at the packaging facility. This is because it is 'fluffed' at time of packaging. When the containers are shipped, settling occurs. The solids settle closer together & the air congregates to the top of the container. This is why you have to sift ('fluff') any powdered ingredient (flour, confectioners sugar, corn starch, etc) in every recipe - & im talking about millions upon millions of recipes. Macro Greens & Miracle Reds along with previously mentioned items are sold by weight not volume. For a reviewer to take multiple photos of this product with a measuring tape, at different angles to show the empty space inside the container & to say that they were short changed because of this is a blunder that boggles the mind! This is a common concept.3. Color Change - To discount the Miracle Greens product because it isnt bright green is folly. Macro greens & Miracle reds are about rare macro nutrients that are not in our normal daily diet. That being said, some of the most valuable plants do not use green chlorophyll! For example - brown algae. The term "greens" is a cultural catch-all term for veggies - not the actual real-life color of all plant chlorophyll. No matter what your biology 101 textbook says, chlorophyll can be green, yellow, orange, brown, red, or blue. In my opinion, it would be more beneficial to consume brown algae (brown chlorophyll) than the majority of plants that photosynthesis using green chlorophyll. Upon noticing the color change, I would have assumed the product got better!My straightforward review:OVERALLIve purchased both the Macro Greens & Miracle Reds product for years. They contain more macros than any other product out there. Macrolife INVENTED the macro nutrient powder industry, which is why all others are "copycats'. Take the Pepsi challenge. Pull up any other product & look at the difference in types of macro's, the quality of the macros & the level of detail in description.No other copycat contains Bromelain or Acerola. Good luck finding any other with Glucan, Dulce or Amylan. You can also bank on the fact that copycats dont have the same amount & variety of probiotics as this product does. For example, in the Macro Greens powder there are 5 different kinds of live active cultures in the amount of 18 BILLION per tablespoon! Repeat: PER TABLESPOON!People always complain of the taste & that seems to be a big point to talk about. I'm picky & I hate lettuce - but that never stopped me from grinning & eating a 'big salad' at the dinner table with my in-laws everytime we eat. In other words, the nutritional value of this is so high - just grin & bare it. In all honesty, the taste of these powders arent horrible & don't expect them to taste like fruity pebbles either. The label suggest mixing with apple juice which is great. Others mentioned other juices which works. All I do is pour a scoop of both Greens & Reds in a half filled water bottle, shake & just drink it. It's not that bad.POSITIVEThis is the oldest, family owned product & inventor of this concept. I appreciate the exceutiating effort put into describing every ingredient that goes into these products. Immitators try to trick you listing items like buckwheat, oat bran or strawberry powder. Sure, Macro Greens has a buckweat product in it called Rutin - but buckwheat only becomes Rutin after the cell walls are broken down so your body can receive the benefits of its falvonoids. It's these little tricks & processing shortcuts the other products don't want you to know about. They might seem cheaper but in reality you're buying powdered cheerios with them.NEGATIVEThe price of this product was steadily going up over the years (inflation) until 2019 when the large container jumped by $20! Also, when I received my newest container I noted the difference in color (like so many reviewers have been blathering on about). For that reason coupled with the price increase i can only assume the company had to instill an extra step in the processing. Maybe for stricter laws or a problem in supply chain. This extra step was probably expensive, which is why the price jumped & the color change.FINALI've had nothing but great results with my health (auto-immune & an auto-inflammatory disorders) directly from this product so I can't quibble to much about price at the moment. If I notice a change in the health benefits, then I will make an addendum to this review which is on both the Macro Greens & Miracle Reds Amazon page. If you don't see any addendum then this product is still the best out there. Your body really changes for the positive with these products.cAVEATI am a nobody consumer. I havn't researched every similar product ever made & I dont hold any special degree in biology or food processing. I have not been paid &/or given free product from Macrolife or Amazon for my review. I took the time to write all this down for the benefit of any reader out there looking for a real honest opinion of this product. Also to slug all the ignorant negative reviews.Huzzah

Antioxidant Superfood

Love this product. This is my second purchase of Miracle Reds 30oz. This mixes easily into a smoothie, tastes great, is GF, raw, all natural, vegan and organic. Contains 1 Billion Pro-biotic cultures. Here is the recipe for my favorite smoothie using one of my other favorite products, 'Miracle Greens':1 Cup of Almond Milk1 Scoop of Miracle Reds1 Scoop of Miracle Greens1 Scoop of Bioplex WPI (Whey Protein)1 Tb Fit Flax1 Tb Fish Oil or Flax Oil1 Cup or more of Fresh-Frozen Strawberries (or other fruit)Mix in a Vitamix or blender and enjoy.Have one of these in the morning and you'll start the day out with the nutrient equivalent of 5 servings of fruits and berries and 5 servings of vegetables from the Miracle products alone.Read the label... Goji, pomegranate, acai, mangosteen all well known antioxidants. But the real test for me was how I felt when I started taking these on a regular basis and MORE importantly how I felt when I stopped. My body was quick to let me know that it missed my Miracle supplements. Not saying that this is how you will feel - maybe you get all the nutrients that you need in the food you consume. I'm just saying that personally, I don't get 5+ servings of fruit nor do I get 5+ servings of vegetables EVERY SINGLE DAY. I'd be doing good if I got 2 of each.So, if you are like me and have the best of intentions when it comes to your diet and nutrition, but are falling short... and you like the idea of raw food supplementation over vitamin pills, I highly recommend this product.

Updated to 5 stars

I've been using this for about 2 weeks with just water. I drink it throughout the morning in about 16 ounces of water. After one week, I thought maybe I had a little more energy, but wasn't sold. Definitely after the 2nd week I can feel a difference. I feel like I sleep better, am a more focused at work and wake up easier somehow. Today I didn't drink any until late this afternoon and I felt just blah. But am definitely feeling more awake (energetic) after a couple of hours. My boyfriend is trying it too as he says he can tell a difference with me (getting to sleep easier, getting up easier, better mood) so I'm already almost out. I'm pretty much sold. I'm going to try a different brand I found at a vitamin shop to tide me over until I can get more. I really like how I feel! It's subtle, but if I miss a day, I really notice! Going to try combining it with the greens in a kefir smoothie soon. I don't always eat great so I'm looking forward to seeing how I feel adding greens. I didn't give it 5 stars because it has soy in it. There is also a lead warning, but this is supposedly a very small amount due to naturally occurring lead in plant soil. I've read this is not the case with some other supplements so...4 stars. Lead or no lead, I definitely feel pretty good after drinking this stuff for 2+ weeks! Placebo effect? Maybe, but whatever. It seems to work!8/25/2018 Update: After trying Ruby Reds, Vital Reds, and Torrie's Naturals, I definitely felt more energetic and focused using Miracle Reds. Out of all the supplements I have tried in 2018, Miracle Reds is my go-to now. This may not be the case for everyone, but for me it works wonders. I've been mixing it with kefir, blueberries, kale and strawberries in my morning smoothies and can't taste any grit at all. Bumping up the rating to 5 stars.
