Test Type: Lab Test
Collection Method: Urine (at-home test)
Heavy metals are one of the most significant health concerns today, as they generate harmful free radicals that contribute to chronic diseases such as dementia, Parkinson’s, and diabetes. Our Heavy Metals Test measures key toxic metals in your urine, including Aluminium, Lead, Arsenic, Cadmium, Chromium, Cobalt, Copper, Nickel, Mercury, and Zinc.
For a more complete understanding of long-term vs. recent exposure, we recommend combining this test with Hair Mineral Analysis, which assesses accumulation over time.
Who Should Take This Test?
Heavy metal toxicity can be difficult to detect, as these elements accumulate in tissues and organs, leading to a wide range of symptoms. Testing may be relevant if you experience:
✔ Hormonal imbalances (thyroid issues, PMS, mood swings)
✔ Neurological conditions (Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, autism)
✔ Autoimmune diseases and chronic inflammation
✔ Skin problems such as eczema
✔ Liver and kidney dysfunction
✔ Unexplained fatigue, anxiety, or depression
What Are Heavy Metals & Why Are They Harmful?
Heavy metals such as arsenic, cadmium, lead, mercury, and aluminium are ionically charged, electromagnetically active substances that can accumulate in the body. They come primarily from environmental pollution, contaminated food and water, household products, and industrial exposure. Once inside the body, they can:
Damages the brain, kidneys, and immune system
Generate free radicals, leading to cell and DNA damage
Contribute to chronic conditions such as asthma, arthritis, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease
Certain metals, like mercury, are particularly toxic because the body has limited ability to detoxify them, leading to nerve cell damage and energy disruption.
How to Reduce Heavy Metal Exposure
To minimise exposure and support detoxification, consider:
✔ Avoiding aluminium cookware, deodorants, and dental amalgams
✔ Using natural products such as chlorella, spirulina, garlic, and seaweed
✔ Reducing consumption of contaminated seafood
✔ Choosing organic foods to limit pesticide exposure
