NUTRITIONAL / TOXIC / HEAVY METAL TESTING
FROM GENOVA DIAGNOSTICS LAB

Elemental Analysis examines blood or hair samples for levels of toxic and nutrient elements. Toxicities and nutrient insufficiencies are identified, allowing for targeted interventions. The Toxic Element Exposure Profile evaluates a hair sample for levels of 21 toxic elements.

To measure urinary excretion of toxic and/or nutrient elements, clinicians can use the Comprehensive Urine Element Profile or the Toxic Element Clearance Profile. The Elemental Analysis, Packed Erythrocytes provides a reliable means of identifying short-term toxic element exposure and evaluating intracellular mineral nutrient status.

Amino Acids Analysis examines fasting blood or 24-hour urine samples for 40+ amino acids. Results can provide valuable biochemical information about many disorders, including chronic fatigue, learning disabilities, depression and immune problems.

Essential and Metabolic Fatty Acids Analysis evaluates the level of red cell membrane or plasma fatty acids, imbalances which significantly affect inflammatory and other disorders. By knowing the various fatty acid levels, one can reestablish a balance using nutritional intervention.

Toxic & Nutrient Element Chart - This Chart lists 23 Toxic and 20 Nutrient Elements, their sources, physiological (toxic) and biochemical (nutrient) interactions, as well as symptoms of excessive exposure (toxic) and imbalance (nutrient).
