Heavy metal and mineral screen in London
The heavy metal and mineral screen at Medical Express Clinic is a blood test that 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.
The heavy metal and mineral screen checks zinc, copper, selenium, magnesium, manganese, chromium, iron and calcium, alongside lead, mercury, arsenic, cadmium, aluminium, thallium and other industrial trace metals.
The heavy metal screen is often requested after occupational exposure in work such as manufacturing, mining, construction, dentistry and welding, or for unexplained neurological symptoms.
The heavy metal and mineral screen costs £407.50, with a GP consultation £150 extra, and results take 7 to 10 working days.
The blood sample for the heavy metal screen is taken at 117a Harley Street, London, where walk-in appointments are available 7 days a week, or the test can be booked online.
How much does a heavy metal test cost in London?
A heavy metal and mineral screen costs £407.50 at Medical Express Clinic, with results in 7 to 10 working days; a GP consultation is £150 extra.
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.

FAQs
Heavy metal screen FAQs
How is the sample collected?
This requires a blood sample, collected at our clinic. The blood draw takes about 5 minutes.
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.
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.
Why can heavy metal symptoms be difficult to recognise?
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.
