Q: What happens if I accidentally consume the silica packet inside the product?

Inside each product, a silica packet is inserted that helps absorb any extra moisture. The contents of this are not toxic, but surely shouldn’t be consumed unless accidentally.

If accidentally consumed, don’t worry too much. A quick search has shown similar variations of this type of answer:

Usually, nothing happens if you eat silica gel. In fact, you eat it all the time. Silica is added to improve flow in powdered foods. It occurs naturally in water, where it may help confer resistance against developing senility. Silica is just another name for silicon dioxide, the main component of sand.

(https://chemistry.about.com/od/medicalhealth/f/What-Happens-If-You-Eat-Silica-Gel-Beads.htm)

The product will not go bad without the packet so there’s no need to replace the packet. Of course, we always recommend consulting a physician with any health concerns related to this.

Pea Protein is something between a concentrate and an isolate. Pea protein is concentrated through physical (not chemical) separation, so it's not a true isolate. There’s a decanter that separates “Protein fluid” and “Starch fluid”. So, the starch is separated from the protein, but that's it. A true isolate is defined as "stripped of almost everything except the protein".

Our ingredients are sourced from all over the globe! For example, our lucuma comes from Peru, our acerola comes from Brazil, our sunflower seeds from Austria and our cranberry comes from the United States.
