Toxic and Essential Elements - Blood Profile

Essential elements are only conducive to optimal health when they are within optimal ranges – levels that are too low or too high can have detrimental effects on health – and exposure to toxic heavy metals has multiple adverse health effects. Dried blood spot testing represents red blood cell levels of the nutritional elements magnesium, zinc, and copper, revealing deficiencies earlier than a typical serum test. The Toxic & Essential Elements - Blood Profile assesses an individual’s levels of the essential nutrients zinc, copper, selenium, and magnesium, and their exposure to the toxic heavy metals mercury, and cadmium.
