That is it is not commercially produced. I would like to get my calcium form vegetable sources due to my Lactose intolerance and possible slight sensitivity to milk it self. the green leafy juices are hard to stomach. -----Original Message----- >As far as I know the orange tint is the only "risk" to too much beta >carotene, as you'd get in carrot juice.
