Heavy metals toxicity caused by increasing levels of pollution and use of chemicals in industry is a growing threat to our health. High levels of toxic metals deposited in body tissues and subsequently in the brain, may cause significant developmental and neurological damage.
Heavy metals can accumulate within the body after exposure, attaching to your cells preventing them from performing their functions, causing symptoms that could be life threatening without treatment.
Sign and symptoms vary for each type of metal and range in severity based on an individual’s exposure, symptoms could include:
Alopecia
Anemia
Arrhythmia
Chills Low Body Temperature
Dehydration
Dental Amalgams
Difficulty breathing
Fatigue
Gastrointestinal Symptoms
Hypertension
Impaired Kidney Function
Inflammation
Memory loss
Nausea or Vomiting
Numbness or Prickly Sensation in Hands and Feet
Parkinson’s-like Symptoms
Risk of Developing Certain Types of Cancer
Vision problems
Weakness
What does the Toxic & Nutrient Metals Test test for?
This urine test tests for 38 different analytes
WHY CHOOSE Toxic & Nutrient Metals Test?
Toxic metals can accumulate in the body over time, leading to adverse health effects and chronic disease. Therefore, it is essential to evaluate the accumulation of toxic metals objectively. The analysis of urine element concentrations before and after administration of a metal detoxification agent can help estimate net retention of potentially toxic elements. The goal is to determine whether an individual’s net retention of metals exceeds physiological tolerance, as toxicity occurs when the rate of assimilation exceeds the rate of excretion.
Pharmaceutical metal detoxification agents like EDTA, DMSA or DMPS can sequester “hidden” metals from deep tissue stores and mobilize them to the kidneys for excretion in the urine. However, different compounds have different affinities for specific metals. To evaluate net retention, it’s important to perform both pre- and post-provocation urinalysis to distinguish between ongoing exposures to metals and net bodily retention.
It’s also useful to analyze essential element levels in urine to evaluate nutritional status and the efficacy of mineral supplementation during metal detoxification therapy. However, metal detoxification agents can increase the excretion of specific nutrient elements such as zinc, copper, manganese and molybdenum. Additionally, urinary wasting of essential elements such as magnesium, calcium, potassium, and sodium in an unprovoked urine specimen can indicate early renal dysfunction.
