The Heavy Metals Panel measures your body’s exposure to heavy metals that can build up over time and contribute to serious health problems. These metals are known to interfere with vital biological processes, causing damage to the brain, kidneys, cardiovascular system, and metabolism. Even low-level, chronic exposure can lead to long-term health risks, especially in vulnerable populations like children or pregnant individuals.
This panel is especially useful if you have occupational exposure, consume large amounts of seafood, live in an area with potential water or soil contamination, or are experiencing unexplained symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, or nerve issues. By identifying hidden toxic burdens, the test can help guide detox strategies, reduce future exposure, and protect long-term health—particularly in cases where symptoms may not immediately suggest heavy metal toxicity.
