Heavy Metal Assessment

This is done via hair analysis, blood analysis or urine analysis.

Toxic metals used in industrial processes have increased human exposure dramatically during the last 50 years. Toxic metals have detrimental effects, even at minute levels, but the effects vary with the mode and degree of exposure and with the individual metabolism and detoxification. The relationship between blood, hair and urine heavy metal concentrations and human health is an important and complex process. The utility of tissue heavy metal analysis for diagnosis and treatment applications has been increasing as the medical understanding of the relationship between nutrient and heavy metal toxicity develops.
