Heavy Metals Panel

A group of toxic metals that accumulate in the body and damage organs, nerves, and long-term health.

About

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.

5 Biomarkers Included

Mercury
A toxic heavy metal that disrupts the brain, nerves, and kidneys, especially from fish, vapors, and industrial sources.
Lead
A toxic heavy metal that builds up in bones and blood, harming the brain, kidneys, heart, and fertility even at low levels.
Arsenic
A toxic metalloid that damages energy production and harms nerves, skin, and organs through contaminated water, food, or industrial exposure.
Cadmium
A toxic metal that builds up in the body, silently damaging kidneys, bones, and lungs.
Cobalt
An essential metal in vitamin B12 that supports red blood cell production; toxic at high levels, affecting the heart, thyroid, nerves, and lungs.
