Recently, there was a lot of negative press surrounding the product Adya Clarity. This was a product that had suddenly become very popular, the new “must have” detoxification tool, that we imported from America.

Our aim at Raw Living is to make the raw lifestyle as easy and accessible to you as we possibly can. If a product is in demand, naturally we will make efforts to source it so we can offer it to you; we source a lot of American products and make it easier for people in Europe to obtain them. But we do not hype anything up or do any kind of heavy sales approach. If we are particularly enjoying a product, we like to share that with you, and hope it will assist you in your decision making process when selecting what to purchase, but generally we steer clear of pushing anything onto you, believing it is better if you decide for yourself what resonates with you and what you feel drawn to.

(As a sidenote, it fascinates me to see what people order. We have hundreds of products in the store, and I love that one person will buy a dozen kale chips and ten chocolate bars, while another only wants medicinal mushroom powders. You can tell a lot about a person by what they put in their Raw Living shopping basket!).

Adya Clarity is not something we had used ourselves a lot, but obviously we believed it to be a good product. When all the furore happened, we had no choice but to remove it from stock, until we could ascertain what the truth was about the product. Personally, I couldn’t understand how a product that was so popular could fall from grace so quickly. Wasn’t the point about Adya that endless people were coming up with positive testimonials of how it had helped them with long-standing conditions? Wasn’t it popular because so many people had benefitted from it already? Where were all these people now, did they suddenly no longer believe it was the Adya that had helped them?

For me, the saddest thing about the whole episode was the way people were so quick to judge, blame and point fingers. The outpouring of emotion around the topic was huge, and it seemed rather than seek out the facts in a calm and balanced way, people were keen to take sides and make others into “bad guys.” We received many hostile and unfriendly emails, I can’t imagine how the main resellers must have been bombarded.

We are now putting Adya back into stock. We continue to take it ourselves, mainly when travelling. We urge you to do your research, and make an informed decision before you purchase the product. Below is the information we have from the producers of Adya, which we present here so you can be aware of both sides of the debate.

Due to the recent attacks on Adya Inc. and the product Adya Clarity we have had to have our product looked at with a fine tooth comb to prove that it is not harmful and in fact very safe and good for you. The documents below show that we are in compliance with Health Canada and that they have deemed the Adya Clarity safe to drink up to 7 1/2 teaspoons per day for an adult. They have also made it possible for Adya Inc. to now display super shot usage on their labels. In these documents you will see that compared to other fruits and vegetables the mineral content, such as aluminum sulfate, is way below the levels that we would typically see in most produce. In the documents below, Adya Inc. shows certain common foods compared to 8 oz of the Adya Clarity water and a supershot (1 teaspoon of Adya Clarity).

It is too bad that someone who was only trying to hurt such a good product did not show any facts or proof for what they were trying to convey. Here are the facts and it shows that they are totally wrong on their allegations regarding any harmful effects that the Adya Clarity could have caused. The Adya Clarity still remains a superior mineral matrix and an outstanding tool to bring our fresh waters back to a purified, living state that is actually good and healthy for us that nature intended. Please take the time to review these new documents regarding the safety of the Adya Clarity product.

The Natural Health Products Directorate (NHPD) has concluded that the product (Adya Clarity) is in compliance pursuant to section 7 of the natural Health Products Regulations.
