Summary

In this video, Dr.G explores a recent study revealing toxic heavy metals in tampons, including those marketed as organic, and reviews various brands to help you make informed choices for your health. All tested tampons contained heavy metals, raising serious concerns. Focused on brands using organic cotton, avoiding harmful chemicals, and lacking bleaching agents. Notably, Organyc, Cora, and Viv emerged as top choices, being certified and tested for heavy metals. However, some brands, like Nature Care, claim no detectable heavy metals but lack publicly available testing data, and others to approach with caution include RAEL, Honeypot, OB, Playtex, and Toms of Maine, with some brands like August, Daye, and Garnuu missing in action. To minimize exposure to heavy metals, opt for the top-rated brands and seek out those with transparent testing results and certifications.
