Blood test for heavy metal toxicity including lead, mercury, arsenic, and cadmium levels.
Heavy metal and toxicology testing measures the levels of potentially harmful metals in your blood or urine. Common metals tested include lead, mercury, arsenic, cadmium, and aluminum. Exposure to these metals can occur through contaminated water, food, workplace environments, dental amalgams, or consumer products. Even low-level chronic exposure can accumulate over years and cause neurological damage, kidney dysfunction, cardiovascular issues, and immune suppression. Testing is particularly important for people with occupational exposure, those living near industrial sites, and anyone experiencing unexplained neurological symptoms. Results help guide detoxification strategies and identify sources of ongoing exposure.
Key Details
Who Is This For?
People with occupational exposure to metals (manufacturing, mining, painting, welding). Anyone with dental amalgam fillings concerned about mercury exposure. Those living near industrial areas or using well water. People experiencing unexplained fatigue, brain fog, numbness, or neurological symptoms. Anyone following a detoxification protocol who wants baseline measurements.
