Heavy metals can accumulate in the body, disrupting the balance of essential nutrients and becoming toxic to organ systems. While certain elements are vital for proper body function, others, such as mercury, lead, cadmium, aluminium, and arsenic, are toxic to the human body and interfere with its functioning. These toxic metals have no known physiological functions and can harm organ systems.MosaicDX (formerly Great Plains Lab) offers various testing options to evaluate the status of toxic metals and essential elements, including urine, blood, stool, and hair samples. This allows practitioners to select the most clinically appropriate option for their patients. This test can be run on hair for toxic heavy metals only or with blood, and it includes additional essential nutrient metal markers such as magnesium, zinc, and copper.
