Metals – Toxic + Nutrient Elements – Urine Timed

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.

Our high-complexity laboratory is committed to delivering accurate and reliable results in coordination with these top licensure programs:

Frequently Asked Questions

Patients with high toxic levels are at greater risk of concomitant exposure from all toxins. For patients with specific exposure history, practitioners can order individual panels or combine profiles to identify or more rapidly reduce or remove multiple sources of toxin exposure:

These test can all be done from one urine sample:
