Essential Minerals & Heavy Metal Toxicity

Do you have symptoms that are unexplained or untreated through conventional medicine? You might want to explore if you have an essential nutrient depletion or heavy metal toxicity. 

 

About trace minerals, heavy metals and which ones are tested 


Heavy metals can accumulate in our body via our food chain through air, water, soil, medicines, improperly coated food containers and in toxic amounts, can cause serious damage :


Neurological : headaches, tinnitus, vision changes, memory loss, neuropathy, muscle twitches, seizures, fatigue


Gastrointestinal : nausea, loss of appetite, constipation


Reproductive : very light menstrual cycle, unpredictable cycle, fetal developmental delays


Cardiac : arrhythmia, anemia


Essential metals such as zinc, copper, chromium, iron and manganese, are required in trace amounts for body function. These metals, too, could accumulate in the body in concentrations sufficient to cause poisoning and serious damage.

Of concern are 17 toxic heavy metals and 22 minerals and trace elements. The test is painless, only requires .25g of scalp hair and the samples can be collected from home. Because hair is affected by blood, perspiration, environment, genetics, hormones and enzymes, it is the 2nd most metabolically active tissue in the body so a hair analysis test is the best way to determine the most comprehensive and accurate vitamin or mineral deficiency as well as a heavy metal toxicity.
