The value
Why it's worth knowing
14 toxic metals, the most comprehensive heavy metal panel
Aluminium, antimony, arsenic, barium, beryllium, bismuth, cadmium, lead, mercury, nickel, platinum, silver, thallium and tin. Tests for metals most other panels miss entirely (platinum, thallium, silver) alongside the common offenders.
Where these metals come from
Mercury from fish and seafood. Lead from old pipes, leaded fuel residue, paint. Aluminium from cookware, antiperspirants, vaccines. Arsenic from rice, groundwater. Cadmium from tobacco, air pollution. Nickel from cookware, jewellery. Silver and platinum from dental work and implants.
Symptoms heavy metals drive
Chronic fatigue, brain fog, headaches, neurological symptoms (tingling, tremor, memory loss), mood changes, hair loss, immune dysfunction and unexplained inflammation. Rarely picked up by standard GP testing.
Critical for fertility, pregnancy and brain health
Heavy metals disrupt hormones, neurotransmitter function, DNA repair and placental health. Linked to recurrent miscarriage, neurodevelopmental disorders and unexplained fertility issues. A standard pre-conception screen for couples planning a pregnancy.
Catches accumulation early enough to intervene
Heavy metal accumulation is invisible until it isn’t. Symptoms appear after years of exposure once levels are already high. Testing catches accumulation early enough to intervene with detoxification protocols (chelation, sweating, sulphur-rich diet, methylation support) before damage becomes chronic.

At-home test results typically take 2 to 4 weeks from when your sample reaches the lab. The exact timing depends on the test (microbiome mapping, methylation and metabolomics testing all require more advanced lab processes than standard bloodwork). You'll receive the full pathology report by email once it's ready.

Yes. Each kit comes with clear, step-by-step instructions designed to be simple to follow. Most samples take 5 to 15 minutes to collect. The instructions cover exactly what to do, when to do it, and how to package your sample for return. If anything's unclear, our team is available to help.
If your sample is compromised on collection or arrives at the lab unsuitable for testing, we'll send you a replacement kit at no additional charge. The instructions are designed to make collection easy and reliable, but mistakes happen and we've built the process to handle them. Just let us know.
Your kit includes a pre-paid return mailer. Once your sample is collected, package it as the instructions show and drop it at any Australia Post box or post office.

A very positive experience
I booked a blood test because my health insurance did not cover GP consultations. The referral form was emailed to me immediately, I walked into a collection centre the next morning and my results arrived the very next day. One result showed an elevated TSH level and because I was pregnant, a doctor from their Sydney office personally called me to talk it through. It made me feel they genuinely cared.

Could not have been better
I've been in remission from Graves Disease for a few years and suddenly had symptoms again. It was easy to choose and purchase the test I needed at a reasonable price and set up the appointment online for the next day. The lab tech was friendly and put me entirely at ease, and the results were delivered electronically within a day or two. Could not have been better.

Efficient from start to finish
I selected and ordered the tests I wanted online, then dropped into the clinic for the blood draw during my lunch break. The process was quick and efficient, and by lunchtime the following day my results had been emailed directly to me. Fast, convenient and hassle-free.

Heavy Metal Analysis
The Heavy Metal Analysis is a comprehensive heavy metal urine test that uses a 24-hour urine collection to measure environmental and toxic metal exposure. Capturing a full day of excretion gives a clearer picture of your metal burden than a single sample, including how effectively your body is clearing these metals.
It evaluates how well your body is excreting heavy metals and helps identify elevated levels linked to environmental, occupational or dietary exposure. It suits anyone concerned about exposure, or investigating symptoms like fatigue or brain fog that can be associated with heavy metals.
The Heavy Metal Analysis is an at-home collection kit needing no GP referral and no appointment. Your kit is delivered to you, you complete the 24-hour urine collection at home and return it, and your results follow. For more on heavy metal exposure, Healthdirect Australia is a useful reference.
What we test for
Aluminium (Al) A common environmental metal found in food, water and industrial materials.
Antimony (Sb) Used in flame retardants, batteries and some industrial processes.
Arsenic (As) May be present in seafood, water, pesticides and certain industrial exposures.
Barium (Ba) Found in industrial products and some water sources.
Beryllium (Be) Associated with industrial exposure in aerospace and electronics.
Bismuth (Bi) Sometimes present in medications and environmental sources.
Cadmium (Cd) Found in cigarette smoke, batteries and industrial pollution.
Lead (Pb) Associated with old paint, plumbing, soil contamination and industrial exposure.
Mercury (Hg) Commonly linked to seafood consumption and dental amalgam fillings.
Nickel (Ni) Present in metal alloys, coins and some occupational settings.
Platinum (Pt) Used in industrial and medical applications.
Silver (Ag) May be present in some supplements and industrial exposure.
Thallium (Tl) Rare but highly toxic metal found in industrial environments.
Tin (Sn) Used in food packaging and industrial applications.
