What is it?
Cryptosporidium are microscopic parasites that may live in rivers, lakes, and ponds. They can also be found in soil, food, and water systems that have been contaminated with feces from infected humans or animals [1]. When ingested, Cryptosporidium can lead to diarrhea and other gastrointestinal symptoms that can persist for a long time [2], [3]. (Adapted from Tiny Health)
We consider low to undetectable levels of Cryptosporidium to be optimal.
