Why Test Heavy Metals and Essential Elements?

Heavy metal poisoning can lead to serious health problems. Toxic metals pollute the human body either through direct contact or indirectly through the food chain. Heavy metals may enter the body through direct skin contact, inhalation from the atmosphere, drinking contaminated water and ingestion of contaminated food. Prolonged heavy metal exposure can increase the risk of developing chronic conditions. These toxic metals can also contribute to organ damage over the long term.

Essential minerals or trace elements play a pivotal role in boosting your overall health, only when they are within optimal ranges. These essential minerals are potentially toxic at extreme levels. Mineral deficiencies and higher levels of harmful heavy metals in your body could impair your ability to recover from illness or achieve optimal health.
