Heavy Metals and Essential Elements Test Kit

Environmental pollutants are all around us - in the air we breathe, in the water we drink, in the food we eat, and in materials, we touch. This profile measures toxic heavy metals and reveals levels of certain nutritional elements.

These elements directly or indirectly impact thyroid hormone synthesis and intracellular conversion of T4 to T3. While arsenic, mercury, and cadmium are known biological toxins, iodine, bromine, and selenium can potentially be toxic also if dietary intake, including excessive supplementation, is too high. Testing for these elements in urine provides an excellent assessment of the overall body burden of toxic elements and is an indicator of excessive or inadequate intake or supplementation of iodine and selenium.

Heavy Metals

These pollutants can significantly increase our risk of developing conditions like dementia, infertility, diabetes, and cancer. They are also known to cause damage to the liver, kidneys, and brain, as well as the cardiovascular, nervous, and endocrine systems.

In excess, and when persistent, they can affect the synthesis and actions of hormones essential for managing our general health.

Essential Elements

Overall, nutritional elements are only healthy when they are within optimal ranges. Levels of too low or too high can have detrimental effects on health. Therefore, it's important to know if these are outside their optimal ranges.

This test measures for these essential elements, which can be hazardous in too high amounts: zinc, copper, magnesium, selenium, bromine, lithium, and iodine.

People who will especially benefit from elements testing include those who:

  • Smoke
  • Are exposed to heavy metals through work, hobbies, or dentistry
  • Live in older homes or areas where metals may be present in drinking water
  • Have thyroid-related health issues
  • Are breastfeeding
  • Have health issues that could result from nutritional deficiencies or imbalances of essential elements
