Toxins & Heavy Metals

Measures arsenic in the blood, reflecting recent exposure from dietary, occupational or environmental sources. Most relevant for people with occupational arsenic contact, those using bore or well water in affected areas, and high consumers of rice or seafood.

Measures beryllium in the blood to assess occupational exposure. Used in workplace health surveillance for people in aerospace, electronics, nuclear, dental alloy and metal manufacturing where beryllium dust or fumes are a hazard. Reflects recent exposure only; a BeLPT test assesses immune sensitisation separately.

Measures cadmium in the blood, reflecting recent and ongoing exposure from cigarette smoke, occupational contact or contaminated food. Most relevant for smokers, workers in battery manufacturing, metal plating, welding or mining, and people living near industrial sites.

Measures blood cobalt levels. Essential component of vitamin B12 but toxic in excess. Used to monitor metal-on-metal hip implant wear and occupational exposure in hard metal industries.

At-home urine test measuring 14 essential minerals and 14 toxic metals from a single sample. Assesses nutritional mineral status and environmental or occupational toxic metal exposure in one panel.

At-home stool test measuring essential minerals and toxic metals eliminated through the digestive system. Assesses nutrient absorption and whether metals such as mercury, lead, and aluminium are being cleared.

Measures gold concentration in blood. Used to monitor gold-based medical treatments and assess occupational exposure in mining, jewellery manufacturing, and electronics production. Gold accumulates in tissues over time, making regular monitoring important.

Measures 8 essential minerals and 8 toxic metals from a hair sample, reflecting nutritional status and toxic exposures accumulated over 2 to 3 months of growth. Captures long-term patterns that blood tests may not show. At-home collection kit.

Measures 17 essential minerals and 17 toxic metals from a hair sample, reflecting 2 to 3 months of accumulation. Expanded panel covering trace elements and rarer toxic metals beyond Level 1. At-home collection kit.

Measures 14 toxic metals including mercury, lead, aluminium, cadmium, and arsenic from a 24-hour urine collection. Assesses total body burden and kidney elimination of toxic metals. Used for occupational exposure screening and chelation therapy monitoring.

Measures blood lead levels to assess toxic exposure. Recommended adults with known or suspected exposure from old paint, pipes, welding, mining, or battery manufacturing. Also used for routine occupational health monitoring.

Measures lithium concentration 12 hours after the last dose. Used for routine therapeutic monitoring of lithium therapy to confirm levels remain in the effective range and to prevent toxicity.

Measures blood manganese to assess occupational exposure in workers in welding, mining or metal manufacturing, and to monitor accumulation in patients on long-term parenteral nutrition. Excess manganese can cause manganism, a neurological condition resembling Parkinson's disease.

The Mercury Whole Blood Test measures total mercury in your blood, including methylmercury from fish and seafood and inorganic mercury from dental amalgam or occupational sources. Mercury exposure in Australia comes mainly from eating large predatory fish such as shark, swordfish, and orange roughy.

The Molybdenum Blood Test measures this trace mineral, which acts as a cofactor for enzymes involved in sulphite processing, purine breakdown, and drug metabolism. Deficiency is rare in people eating a normal diet but can occur with prolonged parenteral nutrition without trace mineral supplementation.

At-home urine test measuring mycotoxin levels using LC-MS/MS analysis. Screens for ochratoxin A, aflatoxins, trichothecenes, and other mould toxin classes. For people investigating environmental mould exposure.

The Nickel Blood Test measures systemic nickel exposure. Nickel is the most common cause of metal contact allergy in Australia, and blood nickel testing is used to investigate occupational exposure, monitor nickel-containing joint implants, and assess levels in people with suspected nickel sensitivity.

NutriSTAT looks at how your body is actually working, not just whether your numbers sit inside a reference range. One at-home collection kit covers metabolic function, thyroid markers, cardiovascular risk factors, hormones, essential minerals, toxic metals, fatty acids, amino acids, and organic acids.

This urine panel measures metabolites from common environmental pollutants including industrial solvents, pesticides, plasticisers and air pollutants. It provides a snapshot of recent toxin exposure and how well your body is processing these substances. Collect a first-morning urine sample at home and post it back in the prepaid envelope.

This combined urine panel measures metabolic markers (energy production, neurotransmitters, B-vitamins, gut microbial activity, detoxification) alongside metabolites from common environmental pollutants including industrial solvents, pesticides and plasticisers. Collect a first-morning urine sample at home and post it back in the prepaid envelope.

This at-home saliva test screens for toxic heavy metals including mercury, lead, and cadmium. Saliva testing for heavy metals is less validated than blood or urine methods, so results should be considered screening-level and positive findings confirmed with more established testing.

Measures strontium levels in blood to assess exposure from supplements, diet, or environmental sources. Strontium is chemically similar to calcium and gets incorporated into bone tissue.

Measures essential minerals (iodine, selenium) and toxic elements (arsenic, mercury, cadmium, bromine) in a single urine sample. Assesses nutritional status and toxic element exposure together. At-home dried urine collection kit.
