What This Test Measures

Toxic Elements

Exposure to toxic metals can disrupt neurological, hormonal, and immune function, even at low levels. This test screens for:

  • Aluminum – Linked to cognitive decline, Alzheimer’s risk
  • Antimony – Associated with lung and heart toxicity
  • Arsenic – Affects skin, nervous system, and may be carcinogenic
  • Barium – Can interfere with heart and blood pressure regulation
  • Beryllium – Respiratory toxin; linked to chronic beryllium disease
  • Bismuth – High levels may cause kidney or nervous system issues
  • Cadmium – Toxic to kidneys and reproductive system
  • Lead – Major neurotoxin; especially harmful in children
  • Mercury – Affects brain, thyroid, and immune system
  • Nickel – May trigger allergies, dermatitis, and respiratory issues
  • Platinum – Potentially nephrotoxic
  • Thallium – Disrupts potassium pathways; toxic to nerves
  • Thorium, Tin, Titanium, Uranium – Industrial/environmental toxins with varied systemic effects

Nutrient Elements

These essential minerals support enzyme function, hormonal balance, bone health, and energy metabolism:

  • Calcium, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Potassium, Sodium – Electrolyte balance, bone structure, and nerve signaling
  • Zinc, Copper, Manganese, Chromium, Iron, Selenium, Iodine, Lithium – Vital for immunity, thyroid, blood sugar, mood, and antioxidant defense
  • Molybdenum, Vanadium, Cobalt, Boron, Sulfur, Rubidium, Strontium, Germanium, Zirconium, Silver – Trace minerals that contribute to various enzymatic and cellular functions

Element Ratios

These ratios provide insight into how your body is utilizing key minerals:

  • Calcium/Magnesium Ratio – Stress, cardiovascular, and muscle balance indicator
  • Calcium/Phosphorus Ratio – Bone turnover and metabolic activity
  • Sodium/Potassium Ratio – Adrenal and cellular hydration marker
  • Zinc/Copper Ratio – Immune and inflammatory balance
  • Zinc/Cadmium Ratio – Detoxification efficiency

Ideal For

  • Individuals concerned about environmental or occupational exposures
  • Chronic fatigue, brain fog, hormone imbalance
  • Nutrient optimization for wellness or performance
  • Preconception and fertility planning
  • Children with developmental or behavioral concerns
