Urine Toxic Metals & Essential Elements

Aloha Natural Medicine offers the Urine Toxic Metals and Essential Elements Analysis by Doctor’s Data to assess exposure to toxic heavy metals such as lead and mercury. This profile includes elements used in medical, aerospace, nuclear and high-tech electronics industries. Use of these potential toxins is increasing because of their growing commercial, industrial, and medical applications.

The Urine Toxic Metals and Essential Elements Analysis is an invaluable tool for the assessment of retention of toxic metals in the body and the status of essential nutrient elements. Toxic metals do not have any useful physiological function, adversely affect virtually every organ system and disrupt the homeostasis of nutrient elements. This is an ideal test for clients suspected of toxic metal exposure as well as potential nutrient deficiencies.
