Essential Nutrient and Toxic Elements Testing
MosaicDX offers a number of options for assessing nutrient and toxic (heavy metals) elements, these include urine, hair, stool, whole blood and red blood cell. Heavy metals can be toxic to organ systems when they accumulate in the body and may disrupt the balance of essential nutrients. A number of variables impact which sample type is most applicable including toxicokinetics, dose, length of exposure, route of exposure and half-life. Multiple sample types allow for the practitioner to choose the most clinically appropriate option.
Metals & Elements – Toxic + Essential (Hair) evaluates concentrations of 19 toxic metals, 21 essential elements, and 7 important ratios utilizing a single, non-invasive hair sample collected from the privacy of the patient’s home. Hair element analysis is a useful and cost-effective screening tool to detect toxic metals and elements. It can also be used to complement the point-in-time snapshot from a single blood draw or urine collection. providing practitioners and patients a more complete picture of longer-term exposure.
