SO, WHAT IS CA PROP 65?
“Proposition 65” is a California law that requires California residents receive a warning before they use any
product that might expose them to even trace amounts of over 900 chemicals California has determined
can cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Although the law applies only in California,
many products sold outside California carry these warnings, since manufacturers often do not control thefinal destination of their products.

JUST THE FACTS
Prop 65 requires a warning if a product might
potentially cause an exposure to a chemical on the“Proposition 65 list” unless it can be demonstrated
that any exposure would be 1000 TIMES LESS thanthe level the most sensitive scientific studies haveshown causes no observable reproductive effects
on humans or animals.
As California notes, a Proposition 65 warning does
not necessarily mean a product is in violation of
any product-safety standards or requirements.
Prop 65 requires TLC to place a warning on its
products even though any potential lead exposure
may be as much as 25 times lower than the level
determined by the FDA to be safe for adults. Prop65 requires a warning if there is MORE THAN ½ OF
A MICROGRAM of lead in the amount of theproduct TLC recommends for daily use. (Amicrogram is about one one-hundred-millionth(1/100,000,000) of an ounce.)

THE FDA’S SAFE INTAKE LEVEL FOR
ADULTS IS 12.5 MICROGRAMS PER DAY.
- This is 25 times more than the level at which
Proposition 65 requires a warning.

ARE TLC PRODUCTS SAFE?
Lead is naturally occurringin trace amounts in soil,
therefore it may be found inminute amounts in theproduce and supplements
we consume daily.
This includes HERBS,VITAMINS, VEGETABLES
and MINERALS.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
Some of the foods we consume
daily contain very tiny amountsof lead. By Proposition 65’s
standards, all of the following
might require a Proposition 65
warning for lead based on a
typical serving:
Spinach, Carrots, Apples, Pears,
Grapefruit, Winter squash, Lettuce
Potatoes, Sweet potatoes, Peanutbutter, Whole wheat bread

Of course! If you use them asrecommended. Our products arederived from all-natural sources and weregularly monitor the lead content to becertain it is always well below the FDA’s
safe dietary intake standards. We offer
our community the very best products,
with the highest quality botanicals andplant-based ingredients. When we use
the very best ingredients, the products
will reflect that as well and will haveminimal amounts of soil-derived
compounds from those ingredientsA NOTE ABOUT CBD AND THC
CBD and THC both occur naturally inthe cannabis plant. The CBD in TLC’s
hemp-based products has been
carefully separated from THC so that
TLC’s products provide all the benefitsof CBD without the psychoactive effectsof THC. Nonetheless, minute levels of
THC may remain in these products.
California has determined that studies inanimals suggest THC may cause birthdefects or other reproductive harmwhen it is used by humans. Because itis impossible to remove every bit of THC
from the CBD, TLC’s products
containing CBD also carry a Proposition
65 warning. As with TLC’s otherproducts, the presence of a Proposition
65 warning does not mean TLC’s CBD
products are unsafe and you may use
them with the same confidence you
place in all other TLC products.
