myLAB Box At Home Heavy Metals Screening Test Kit

This screening test is used to find out if your body has been exposed to specific toxic metals in the environment. Heavy metal poisoning is a life-threatening risk. Heavy metals are found naturally in the environment, foods, medicines, and even water. Not only that, but these harmful metals can get into your system in a variety of ways. For example, one may inhale them in, ingest them, or absorb them through the skin. If too many of these metals get into your body, it may cause heavy metal poisoning. This often leads to serious health problems, including but not limited to, organ damage, behavioral changes, and cognitive difficulties. This test measures the level of 10 potentially harmful metals in your body.

If you have symptoms of heavy metal poisoning such as any of the following, you should immediately consult with your healthcare provider:

• Nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain
• Diarrhea
• Tingling in the hands and feet
• Shortness of breath
• Chills
• Generalized weakness

Will I need to do anything to prepare for the at home heavy metals test?
Some fish and shellfish contain high levels of mercury, so you should avoid eating seafood for 48 hours before being tested.

What do the results of my at home heavy metals test mean?
If your heavy metal tests show high levels of a metal, you will need to completely avoid exposure to that metal and consult with your healthcare provider. Your health care provider may recommend chelation therapy. Chelation therapy is a treatment where you take a pill or get an injection that works to remove excess metals from your body.

If your heavy metal tests are low, but you still have symptoms of exposure, it is still recommended that you see your healthcare provider.
