Heavy metal urine test basic

Humans absorb heavy metals into their bodies through food and drinking water.

Some metals such as sodium, calcium, potassium or magnesium are essential for our organism in low concentrations, while other metals can be toxic. The heavy metal urine test has two functions. Firstly, it checks whether there is an excessive load of toxic metals and secondly, it examines whether there is an adequate supply of essential trace elements.

Heavy metal contamination can lead to nausea, vomiting, chronic fatigue, headaches, migraines and difficulty concentrating. It also promotes the occurrence of chronic diseases, hormonal or kidney disorders. The immune and nervous systems can be impaired by the increased intake of heavy metals and damage our organs.

Urine analysis reflects the excretion of metals. To determine your heavy metal levels, take a urine sample quickly and easily at home. Our partner laboratory will check the concentration of metals after sending it in. You will receive the test result within just a few days.
