In ADDITION to your lab report we provide the following options which are INCLUDED in the package prices:

A) Follow up personalised written report produced by our clinical team highlighting dietary and lifestyle advice plus links to supplement protocols, specific doses and any further testing requirements included. We use the patient information you provide us at checkout along with your results to compile personalised action points for you.

OR

B) Follow up 30-minute video call to discuss your results and answer any questions you have. Once the lab has completed your results you will be sent these via email with a link to book a time and day online. You will also then be given the option to upgrade your 30-minute call to a 45-minute call for an additional £30 if you wish. During the call your practitioner will explain the results in more detail and what they mean for you. After your call you are sent a personalised list of supplements & the dose your practitioner advises with links to purchase from our supplements store. This is for your convenience. You are of course welcome to purchase supplements elsewhere. You will also be provided with a list of follow up tests should this be required plus a copy of your recorded zoom call which you can download and keep.

The Toxic Metals Only panel measures the following 21 metals in urine:

• Aluminium
• Antimony
• Arsenic
• Barium
• Beryllium
• Bismuth
• Cadmium
• Caesium
• Gadolinium
• Lead
• Mercury
• Nickel
• Palladium
• Platinum
• Tellurium
• Thallium
• Thorium
• Tin
• Tungsten
• Uranium
• Creatinine (used to standardise results against urine concentration)

If you add the Essential Elements panel, the following 19 nutritional minerals are also measured:

• Boron
• Calcium
• Chromium
• Cobalt
• Copper
• Iron
• Lithium
• Magnesium
• Manganese
• Molybdenum
• Phosphorus
• Potassium
• Selenium
• Sodium
• Strontium
• Sulphur
• Vanadium
• Zinc
• pH (urine acidity/alkalinity)

This test is suitable for anyone aged 2 years and over who suspects that heavy metal exposure may be contributing to their health problems. It is particularly relevant if you:

• Experience chronic fatigue, brain fog, or cognitive difficulties that have not been explained by routine blood tests
• Have neurological symptoms such as tingling or numbness in the hands and feet, tremor, or muscle weakness
• Work or have worked in industries with known heavy metal exposure — manufacturing, mining, construction, painting, or dentistry
• Live or have lived in a property with lead-based paint or lead plumbing
• Eat large amounts of fish or shellfish and are concerned about mercury accumulation
• Have persistent gastrointestinal symptoms — nausea, abdominal pain, vomiting, or diarrhoea — without a clear cause
• Are undergoing or considering chelation therapy and need a baseline or progress measurement
• Have a family or personal history of conditions associated with toxic metal exposure, such as neurodegenerative disease

There are several important preparation steps to ensure accurate results:

• Omit fish and shellfish from your diet for 5–7 days before collection, as these can temporarily increase the urinary excretion of certain toxic metals
• Avoid mineral-containing nutritional supplements for 24 hours before starting your collection
• Collect your urine over approximately 6 hours, or provide a first-morning specimen — the instructions included with your kit recommend selecting option A on the sample form

Full step-by-step guidance is included with your kit, and the instruction PDF is also available on this page.

The Essential Elements panel measures 19 nutritional minerals alongside the toxic metals, providing a more complete picture of your mineral status in the same urine collection. This is particularly valuable because toxic metals and essential minerals often interact — for example, cadmium competes with zinc for absorption, lead displaces calcium, and mercury can interfere with selenium function. If your toxic metal levels are elevated, knowing whether your protective minerals are also depleted helps your practitioner design a more targeted detoxification and replenishment protocol. Adding the Essential Elements panel is also more cost-effective than running a separate mineral test, so it is generally recommended unless you have already had recent mineral testing through another route.

Depending on your results and clinical picture, our practitioner may recommend further testing to investigate how toxic metal exposure is affecting your body and how well you are able to detoxify:

• If liver detoxification capacity is a concern — the Hepatic Detox Profile assesses phase I and phase II liver detoxification pathways to determine whether your body can efficiently process and clear toxins
• If you want to understand your genetic ability to detoxify — the Detoxification DNA Report from Lifecode GX reveals gene variants that affect how your body handles heavy metals and environmental chemicals
• If broader environmental toxin exposure is suspected — the OAT (Organic Acid Test) provides a metabolic overview that can highlight mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, and nutrient depletion commonly seen alongside toxic metal burden
• If pesticide or herbicide exposure is also a concern — the Glyphosate Urine Test screens specifically for this widely used herbicide
• If you want to assess genetic mineral requirements — the Minerals & Metals DNA Test from Lifecode GX shows how your genes influence absorption and utilisation of key minerals
