What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing symptoms like skin discoloration, high blood pressure, stomach problems, or breathing issues and you suspect exposure to heavy metals at work or in your environment. It's also useful if you work in mining, metal smelting, glass manufacturing, or handle pesticides and herbicides regularly. This urine test helps check whether toxic metals have built up in your body.

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 right away if anything is elevated. If a level is high, simple next steps might include identifying and reducing your exposure source, improving ventilation or protective gear at work, and rechecking your levels after making changes. If any result is dangerously high, seek medical care right away. You can download the full lab report from your account anytime, and the trends feature lets you track your metal levels over time if you retest.

Who should consider this test?

Anyone who works around mining, metal smelting, glass making, or chemical manufacturing should consider this test, especially if protective measures at work are limited. People who live near industrial sites, burn fossil fuels for heat, or handle pesticides and herbicides often may also benefit. It's a smart choice if you're noticing unexplained skin, blood pressure, or breathing symptoms and want to rule out metal exposure.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

Watch for skin changes like unusual dark patches, ongoing high blood pressure, stomach or digestive issues, a persistent cough or bronchitis, and unexplained lung problems. These symptoms can point to heavy metal buildup, especially if you work in or live near industries that use these metals. If you notice several of these symptoms together along with a known exposure risk, this test can help clarify what's going on.

How can I naturally support my body in clearing heavy metals?

Drinking plenty of water helps your kidneys flush out toxins more effectively, and eating fiber-rich foods like vegetables and whole grains can support your body's natural detox process. Reducing further exposure is the most important step — this might mean improving workplace ventilation, wearing protective equipment, or avoiding known contamination sources. Foods rich in antioxidants, like berries and leafy greens, may also help support your body's natural defenses.

When will I get my results?

Results from this urine metals panel are typically ready within about 7 days of your sample being processed at the lab. You'll get a notification once they're posted to your account, where you can view each value along with its reference range. If your results are urgent or something looks concerning, don't wait for a follow-up — take action right away.

What does a high heavy metal level mean?

A high result means you likely have more exposure to metals like lead, arsenic, or mercury than your body can safely process. This could come from your job, your water supply, old paint, or certain foods. The report will show which specific metal is elevated and by how much, which helps you pinpoint where the exposure might be coming from.

What causes high heavy metal levels?

Common causes include working in mining, smelting, or glass manufacturing, handling pesticides or herbicides, and living near industrial sites or areas with heavy fossil fuel use. Older homes with lead paint or lead pipes, contaminated well water, and certain imported cosmetics or ceramics can also be sources. Identifying your specific exposure source is key to lowering your levels.

How often should I retest?

If your results come back normal and your exposure risk hasn't changed, retesting once a year is usually enough for peace of mind. If you have ongoing occupational exposure or your first test showed elevated levels, retesting every 3-6 months after making changes can help you track whether your levels are improving. Use the trends feature in your account to see your progress over time.

What should I do if my results are abnormal?

Start by reviewing the report to see which metal is elevated and how far outside the normal range it falls. Focus on reducing your exposure source, whether that's workplace protective gear, water filtration, or avoiding certain products. If your levels are significantly high or you're having severe symptoms, seek medical care right away rather than waiting to retest.
