Every day, we are exposed to hundreds of toxic chemicals through products like pharmaceuticals, pesticides, packaged foods, household products and environmental pollution. As we have become more exposed to chemical-laden products and to toxic chemicals in food, air and water, we have been confronted with an accelerating rate of chronic illnesses like cancer, heart disease, chronic fatigue syndrome, chemical sensitivity, autism spectrum disorders, ADD/AD(H)D, autoimmune disorders, Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease.
The TOXDetect Profile by is designed to pinpoint your environmental toxicant exposure. This profile measures 19 metabolites utilising state-of-the-art LC-MS/MS technology, guaranteeing unmatched accuracy and reliability – all from a single urine sample.
Key Advantages:
Screens for 172 different environmental pollutants using 19 different metabolites.
Uses the power of state-of-the-art LC-MS/MS technology, which is necessary to detect lower levels of certain genetic, mitochondrial and toxic chemical markers that conventional mass spectrometry often misses.
Includes Tiglylglycine, a marker for mitochondrial damage, which is often seen in chronic toxic chemical exposure.
Costs: Negligible admin costs are added to functional tests. Each test kit comes with a pre-paid courier bag (complete with detailed instructions) for you to conduct and send yourself. Most of the labs we use are US-based as we do not have reputable functional labs in New Zealand. The results take 3-4 weeks to arrive and will be sent directly to us - we forward results onto you the same day (the lab reports come with very detailed explanations/descriptions of the results). Thereafter, if you would like a consultation (online or in person) to discuss the results, our usual consultation charge would be additional to the functional test.
Great to combine Zinc with Molybdenum and Selenium to help raise Zinc levels when you have too much Copper in your system. Need extra zinc and Molybdenum as well though to get the right dose.
