The Blood Metals Panel screens for 16 different metals - nutrient and toxic metals to show elevated exposures to toxic metals or imbalances of nutrient metals in whole blood. Heavy metals, such as lead, arsenic, cadmium, and mercury, are known to have toxic effects on the body and are potential risk factors for cancer development.

Nutrient Elements: Calcium, Copper, Lithium, Magnesium, Manganese, Molybdenum, Selenium, Zinc

Potentially Toxic Elements: Antimony, Arsenic, Cadmium, Cobalt, Lead, Mercury, Silver, Strontium

You should take this test if you

Heavy metals can be found in all regions of the United States and can accumulate in the air, soil, drinking and groundwater sources. Testing blood metals helps identify whether an individual has been exposed to high levels of toxic metals. By detecting and monitoring metal levels in the blood, individuals can take necessary steps to reduce exposure and prevent potential health risks, including cancer.

Heavy metals have been linked to an increased risk of several types of cancer. For example, long-term exposure to arsenic is associated with an elevated risk of skin, lung, bladder, and kidney cancers. Cadmium exposure has been linked to lung, prostate, and kidney cancers.

Blood metal testing allows for an assessment of individual risk factors and provides valuable information for implementing targeted preventive measures.

Why is Metals Screening Important?

  • Humans are exposed to a wide array of toxins from the environment and common household products. Environmental toxins can cause acute or chronic toxic overload when absorbed, inhaled, or ingested. For example, heavy metals, pesticides, petroleum by-products, and other chemicals. High exposure to toxins can have detrimental effects as it can affect multiple body systems

    • Heavy metal toxicity is underrepresented as a root cause of illness and can affect virtually all body systems
    • Heavy metal exposure may be the root cruises of neurological disorders, gastrointestinal disorders, autoimmune disease and more

  • Screening for blood metals is crucial as it can help identify individuals at risk of developing cancer. Certain metals, such as arsenic, cadmium, and nickel, have been linked to an increased risk of various types of cancer. Prolonged exposure to these metals can lead to DNA damage, oxidative stress, and disruption of cellular processes, all of which can contribute to the development of cancerous cells. By screening for blood metals, individuals with elevated levels can be identified early on, allowing for interventions to minimize their exposure and reduce the risk of cancer development. Regular screening also facilitates monitoring and can help evaluate the effectiveness of preventive measures in reducing the overall cancer risk associated with blood metal exposure.
