The Heavy Metal Analysis is a comprehensive 24-hour urine test that measures environmental and toxic metal exposure.
It evaluates how effectively your body is excreting heavy metals and helps identify elevated levels that may be associated with environmental, occupational or dietary 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.

Calculated free testosterone is below the lower reference limit. May be associated with symptoms of low testosterone including fatigue, low libido, and reduced energy.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Heavy metals are naturally present in the environment, but excessive exposure can occur through water, food, air, industrial work, old plumbing, dental amalgams and contaminated soil.
The Heavy Metal Analysis is a 24-hour urine collection test that assesses your body’s ability to eliminate toxic metals. By collecting urine over a full day, the test provides a more complete assessment of metal excretion compared to a single sample.
Results are reported per microgram per gram of creatinine (µg/g creatinine), which improves accuracy by adjusting for urine concentration differences.
This test may be considered if you:
Suspect environmental or occupational exposure
Have high seafood intake and want to assess arsenic or mercury levels
Are monitoring chelation therapy
Want to evaluate toxic metal burden as part of a broader health assessment
The report includes reference ranges and flags elevated results for further clinical review.
This is a 24-hour urine collection kit and must be completed according to provided instructions.
