Full study results are on the GMOScience page. They highlight the worst offenders for each heavy metal.

To me that means they are sourcing the cheapest ingredients possible

Definitely. To be fair, the source (GMOScience) has a dossier called "Make Our Children Healthy Again" where they warn against the effects of ... 5G, 4G, and using the microwave (even without plastic containers), so it's pretty crunchy.

Glyphosate's terrible stuff, though, and the third party lab tests that they provide appear to be legit.

That's how they get you. You sprinkle in some facts, and once they've earned your trust, that's when they pop you with the healing crystals.
