Thorne Research - Heavy Metals Test Kit
Exposure to environmental toxins can affect health. This at-home blood test provides insights about levels of heavy metals and essential elements in your body. Results include a personalized health plan. If you have any of the following symptoms, then heavy metal toxicity could be affecting your health (Anxiety and depression, deteriorating eye health, digestive problems, fatigue, headaches, infertility, memory problems, mental "fogginess", poor heart and/or blood vessel function, poor immune function (recurrent infections, autoimmune diseases), poor kidney function, tingling sensations in the hands, feet, and/or around the mouth and tremors).
Heavy metals consist of metallic elements like lead, mercury, and cadmium. Thorne testing also considers the levels of mineral elements, including zinc, copper, selenium, and magnesium, as these can be affected by - or can be protective against - heavy metal toxicity.
