This kit comes in 3 options, depending on the level of testing required.
You order the kit as a level 1, 2 or 3. The collection requirements and request form are specific to the level of testing. Each specific test has a different balance of payment for that test. The overall cost of the test is offset by the initial purchase of the kit and a balance of cost is paid on the return of sample. This helps to spread the cost over two payments.
The following are the specific tests which are covered in each kit.
Kit Options
Option 1: Level 1 Detox will test:
Urinary Metals: Increased urinary losses of essential trace elements occur under a variety of circumstances such as retention of heavy metals, exercise, hormonal status, skewed amino acid intake, injury, surgery, infection, excess alcohol, excess supplementation or underlying pathology.
Option 2: Level 2 Detox will test:
Urinary organic acids: Are derived from the metabolic conversion of dietary proteins, fats, and carbohydrates, in addition to bacterial origin in the gut. These markers provide a unique profile into cellular energy status, neurotransmitter metabolism, nutrient deficiencies, and intestinal bacterial metabolism.
Urinary Metals: Increased urinary losses of essential trace elements occur under a variety of circumstances such as retention of heavy metals, exercise, hormonal status, skewed amino acid intake, injury, surgery, infection, excess alcohol, excess supplementation or underlying pathology.
Porphyrins: Urinary measurement allows us to confirm the breakdown of a toxin or heavy metal. This test gives an indicator of environmental exposure to heavy metals and organic compounds, includng polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). These substances are known to cause many neuro-developmental and behavioural disorders. This tests kit is for level 3 Detox and will test
Option 3: Level 3 Detox will test:
Environmental Pollutants: Exposure to Xylene, Toluene, Benzene, Phthalate, Urban pollutants
