Heavy Metal & Mineral Screen
Unexplained fatigue. Neurological symptoms without a clear cause. Occupational exposure you're concerned about. This comprehensive panel measures both essential minerals and toxic heavy metals that may be affecting your health.
This comprehensive panel measures essential minerals and screens for toxic heavy metal accumulation. Heavy metals can build up in the body through occupational exposure, environmental contamination, or dietary sources, causing symptoms that are often mistaken for other conditions.
Essential minerals tested:
Zinc, copper, selenium, magnesium, manganese, chromium, iron, calcium (and related markers)
Toxic metals screened:
Lead, mercury, arsenic, cadmium, aluminium, thallium, and other industrial trace metals
Who benefits from this test:
- • People with occupational exposure (manufacturing, mining, construction, dentistry, welding)
- • Those concerned about environmental contamination
- • Unexplained neurological symptoms (tremor, cognitive changes, peripheral neuropathy)
- • Chronic fatigue or immune dysfunction without clear cause
- • Patients investigating nutritional deficiencies alongside toxicity
Heavy metal toxicity can affect the nervous system, kidneys, and immune function. Symptoms develop gradually and are often non-specific, which is why testing is the only reliable way to identify accumulation.
Why test at Medical Express Clinic: Results show both deficiencies in essential minerals and elevations in toxic metals. Our GP can advise on treatment, which may include chelation therapy for significant metal accumulation, or supplementation for deficiencies.

Q.How is the sample collected?
This requires a blood sample, collected at our clinic. The blood draw takes about 5 minutes.
Q.I work with metals - how often should I test?
Annual screening is reasonable for ongoing occupational exposure. More frequent testing may be appropriate if levels are elevated.
Q.What treatment is available for heavy metal toxicity?
Depending on the metal and level, treatment may include removing the source of exposure, chelation therapy, or monitoring over time.
