Hair Toxic Element Exposure Profile (Tests for 31 Toxic Elements)
Hair Toxic Element Exposure Profile (Hair Sample) – Tests for 31 Toxic Elements
How It Works: 1) We send you a simple and easy to use home test kit. 2) You send a small hair sample directly to the lab. 3) Easy to understand results are sent to your home. If you require any clarification, I will be available to assist you at no extra charge.
Hair Toxic Element Exposure Profile examines hair samples for levels of toxic elements. The test includes measures of pervasive and potentially damaging toxins such as lead, mercury and cadmium, along with some crucial mineral nutrients that can be toxic at higher levels. This test can help pinpoint toxic substances that may be triggering such symptoms or conditions as chronic fatigue, depression, hyperactivity in children, “brain fog,” stress, thyroid dysfunction, and many other conditions.
Toxic elements can be 200-300 times more concentrated in hair than in blood or urine. Therefore, hair is the tissue of choice for detection of exposure to elements such as arsenic, aluminum, cadmium, lead, antimony, and mercury. The CDC acknowledges the value of hair mercury levels as a maternal and infant marker for exposure to neurotoxic methylmercury from fish.
