What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing unexplained fatigue, headaches, nerve tingling, digestive issues, or brain fog that might be linked to toxic metal exposure. It's also useful if you work around metals, live in an older home with lead pipes or paint, eat a lot of certain fish, or use traditional remedies or cosmetics that may contain contaminants. Many people also test simply to confirm their environment and habits aren't exposing them to harmful levels of metals.

What's included in this test?

This panel checks urine levels of several toxic metals that the body can absorb from food, water, air, or everyday products. Testing multiple metals together matters because exposure often comes from more than one source, and looking at the full picture helps you pinpoint where a problem might be coming from.

What happens after I get my results?

Your results will show up in your account with each metal level explained against its normal range, so you can see clearly if a number is elevated. If a level is high, simple next steps include identifying and removing the exposure source, increasing water and fiber intake, and retesting in a few months to confirm the level is coming down. A downloadable lab report is available anytime from your account, and you can use the trends feature to track your metal levels over time as you make changes.

How can I naturally support toxic metal clearance?

Drinking plenty of water helps your kidneys flush out metals through urine more efficiently. Eating fiber-rich foods like vegetables, beans, and whole grains can help bind and remove toxins through digestion. Foods rich in antioxidants, like berries and leafy greens, may help protect your cells from metal-related stress, and cutting off the exposure source is the most important step of all.

When will I get my results?

Results are typically ready within about 7 days of your sample being processed at the lab. You'll get a notification and can log into your account to view and download your report as soon as it's ready.

Who should consider this test?

Anyone with symptoms like fatigue, joint pain, memory issues, or digestive trouble without a clear cause may want to consider this test. It's also a good idea for people with jobs in construction, manufacturing, or auto repair, those who live in older homes, and people who eat a lot of certain seafood or use imported cosmetics or supplements.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

Common symptoms linked to heavy metal exposure include ongoing fatigue, headaches, numbness or tingling in hands and feet, stomach pain, memory or concentration problems, and muscle weakness. If you notice several of these symptoms together and can't explain why, testing can help rule metals in or out as a cause.

What does a high result mean?

A high result means your body has more of a particular metal than is considered safe, which can come from things like contaminated water, certain jobs, or specific foods. Depending on which metal is elevated, this can affect your nerves, kidneys, or energy levels over time, so identifying and stopping the exposure source is the priority. Retesting after making changes helps confirm the level is dropping.

What causes high metal levels?

Common causes include drinking water from old pipes, working in industries like construction or manufacturing, eating large amounts of certain fish, using imported cosmetics or traditional medicines, and living in homes with old lead paint. Even hobbies like pottery, stained glass, or shooting at indoor ranges can add up over time.

How often should I retest?

If your first result comes back normal and you don't have ongoing exposure risks, retesting once a year or if new symptoms appear is usually enough. If a level was elevated, retesting every 2-3 months after making changes to your environment or habits is a good way to track progress.
