Heavy Metal Testing
A multi-step assessment of both non-provoked and provoked urine heavy metals, yielding the best representation of total body Heavy Metal burden that you can get.
HOW IT WORKS
Understanding Heavy Metal Testing
What is Heavy Metal Testing
This is a two-step test involving both non-provoked and provoked urine samples. Radiant Health & Wellness provides patients interested in Heavy Metal Testing with easy-to-follow instructions for both tests and outlines all required steps.
By combining the two tests, we create a comprehensive assessment of recent exposure and chronic heavy metal accumulation.
What It Tests For
Heavy Metal Testing assesses many possible Heavy Metals in the body. Heavy Metals are typically stored in body tissues (i.e., bone, fat, brain and nervous system, liver, kidneys, and hair and nails).
The tests provide the most accurate representation of heavy metals in the body and include toxic metals such as aluminum, arsenic, lead, mercury, and others.
