What is the purpose of this test?
The Comprehensive Urine Elements Profile - Genova Test Kit is designed to assess the levels of 15 essential nutrient elements and 20 toxic metals in the body. By analyzing these markers in urine, this test helps identify toxic metal exposure and potential nutrient mineral imbalances that may impact overall health. Toxic elements such as lead, mercury, and arsenic can accumulate in the body over time, leading to various health concerns, including neurological issues, immune dysfunction, and metabolic disturbances. Meanwhile, essential nutrients like magnesium, zinc, and selenium play vital roles in energy production, immune support, and cellular function, and deficiencies can contribute to chronic fatigue, poor immune response, and other health complications.
This test is particularly useful for detecting environmental toxin exposure, occupational hazards, or dietary deficiencies that may not be evident through standard blood tests. It provides a detailed look at how the body is processing and excreting these substances, allowing healthcare providers to create targeted treatment plans. Whether someone is experiencing symptoms of toxicity or simply wants to optimize their mineral balance for better health, this test offers valuable insights into the body's detoxification processes and nutrient status.
The Comprehensive Urine Element Profile - Genova Test Kit includes:
- Toxic Elements: Measures harmful substances such as lead, mercury, and arsenic, which can contribute to neurological damage, immune system suppression, and chronic illness. Other toxic elements like aluminum, cadmium, and thallium are evaluated for their potential role in heavy metal poisoning and metabolic disruption.
- Aluminum | Antimony | Arsenic
- Barium | Bismuth
- Cadmium | Cesium
- Gadolinium | Gallium
- Lead
- Mercury
- Nickel
- Niobium
- Platinum
- Rubidium
- Thallium | Thorium | Tin | Tungsten
- Uranium
- Nutrient Elements: Analyzes essential minerals such as calcium, magnesium, and zinc, which are crucial for bone health, energy production, and immune function. Deficiencies in these nutrients can indicate poor absorption, excessive excretion, or increased metabolic demand.
- Calcium | Chromium | Cobalt | Copper
- Iron
- Lithium
- Manganese | Magnesium | Molybdenum
- Potassium
- Selenium | Strontium | Sulfur
- Vanadium
- Zinc
Who should get this test?
- Individuals concerned about heavy metal exposure from environmental or occupational sources.
- People experiencing unexplained fatigue, brain fog, or neurological symptoms.
- Those with known exposure to toxins such as lead, mercury, or arsenic.
- Individuals with chronic health conditions that may be linked to heavy metal toxicity.
- People with frequent digestive issues or signs of poor nutrient absorption.
- Those looking to optimize their mineral levels for better overall health.
- Patients undergoing detoxification programs who want to monitor their progress.
- Individuals with autoimmune conditions or chronic inflammation.
