The Essential Mineral Analysis is a comprehensive 24-hour urine test that evaluates essential trace elements and selected heavy metals to assess mineral balance, detoxification capacity and environmental exposure.
Your results delivered as a complete pathology report, with reference ranges and clinical context for every marker. Easy to read yourself or hand straight to your GP.
The same pathology report format used by hospitals and GPs across Australia.
Every result is shown alongside the normal range. Abnormal results are highlighted in red so you spot them straight away.
Delivered privately within 24-48 hours of testing. Yours to keep, share or print.
See at a glance which markers are healthy and which need attention.
Calculated free testosterone is below the lower reference limit. May be associated with symptoms of low testosterone including fatigue, low libido, and reduced energy.
Chromium, cobalt, copper, iron, manganese, molybdenum, selenium, vanadium, calcium, magnesium, zinc, germanium, lithium and strontium. The minerals behind every enzymatic reaction your body performs.
Zinc drives testosterone production and immune function. Copper supports collagen and iron metabolism. Selenium converts T4 to active T3 thyroid hormone. The trio behind hormonal and metabolic health.
Calcium-magnesium, copper-zinc, sodium-potassium ratios reflect adrenal function, thyroid pattern, blood sugar regulation and stress patterns. Individual levels matter but the ratios reveal the metabolic story.
Magnesium drives 300+ enzymatic reactions and is commonly deficient. Trace lithium (naturally occurring, not the pharmaceutical dose) is linked to mood, cognitive function and longevity. Both rarely tested in standard panels.
Chromium supports insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism. Vanadium plays a role in glucose regulation and bone health. Both commonly deficient in modern diets, both rarely included in standard testing.

Minerals are essential for energy production, detoxification, immune function, hormone balance and overall cellular health. At the same time, exposure to environmental metals can impact how efficiently these systems function.
The Essential Mineral & Heavy Metal Analysis is a 24-hour urine test that evaluates how your body is excreting important trace elements and selected metals. By collecting urine over a full day, the test provides a broader picture of mineral elimination patterns compared to a single spot sample.
Results are normalised to creatinine, which helps improve accuracy by accounting for differences in urine concentration.
This test may be considered if you are:
Investigating possible mineral imbalances
Exploring environmental metal exposure
Monitoring detoxification or chelation protocols
Working with a practitioner on metabolic or nutritional optimisation
It provides detailed reference ranges and flags results outside normal limits, helping identify potential deficiencies, excesses or abnormal excretion patterns.
Chromium
Involved in glucose metabolism and blood sugar regulation.
Cobalt
A component of vitamin B12 and important for red blood cell function.
Copper
Supports iron metabolism, neurological function and antioxidant enzymes.
Iron
Essential for oxygen transport and energy production.
Manganese
Plays a role in bone formation and antioxidant defence.
Molybdenum
Supports detoxification enzymes and sulphur metabolism.
Selenium
Important for thyroid function and antioxidant protection.
Vanadium
Involved in glucose metabolism and enzyme regulation.
Calcium
Critical for bone health, muscle contraction and nerve signalling.
Magnesium
Supports energy production, muscle function and nervous system balance.
Zinc
Essential for immune function, wound healing and hormone regulation.
Germanium
A trace element sometimes assessed in environmental exposure screening.
Lithium
A naturally occurring trace mineral present in small amounts.
Strontium
Found in the environment and sometimes assessed alongside calcium metabolism.
