Each sample is double-pass validated and third-party tested, so you can trust the accuracy of your results. Your digital report is ready within 4 days of our lab receiving your sample and highlights exactly which metals may be creating stress in your system. With this knowledge, you can make precise adjustments in your home, diet, and environment to reduce exposure and support your body's natural ability to recover.
- UNCOVER WHICH HEAVY METALS MAY BE CAUSING SYMPTOMS. Heavy metals can be found within your daily drinking water, soil, plumbing, cookware, dental fillings, jewelry, coins, batteries, electronics, paints, and dyes. When the surface of your body has a negative reaction to a specific heavy metal, you may experience symptoms like headaches, brain fog, acne, joint pain, or fatigue.
- TEST YOUR BODY’S RESPONSE TO 67 HEAVY METALS. This sensitivity test checks if your body may have a negative response when exposed to heavy metals including aluminum, copper, iron, lead, mercury, platinum, radium, selenium, tin, and zinc. Testing is key to identifying specific heavy metal stressors so you don’t waste time and effort guessing.
