Who should take the test?

Heavy metal exposures affect the body in various ways. Unfortunately, the diagnosis is often complicated by the fact that the triggered symptoms and complaints can vary greatly and be nonspecific. Among the most common sources of exposure to heavy metals are industrial emissions (e.g., from incineration plants), pesticides, fertilizers, and dental materials such as amalgam. However, the place of residence and workplace can also influence our level of exposure to heavy metals (e.g., through lead-contaminated drinking water). With our test, we measure 10 important heavy metals through a urine sample.

We measure the metals chromium, zinc, cobalt, nickel, copper, arsenic, lead, mercury, aluminum, and cadmium using a simple urine sample. Additionally, creatinine is measured to correctly interpret the results. This value provides information about the concentration level of the urine.

How does it work?

Once your order has been processed, you will be sent a sample collection kit. You collect your sample from the comfort of your own home and send it back to us. We analyze your sample and send your results via secure email with a password protected PDF file.

What guidance will I get along with my results?

Following the completion of the analysis, you will receive a lab report that includes explanations for the analyzed markers and details on potential symptoms linked to imbalances. Additionally, we strongly advise that you discuss the results you receive from us with your healthcare provider or practitioner.

Moreover, you can find more information on our website, particularly in the various test categories under “health conditions” and FAQs. If you still have questions, feel free to reach out to us via email at contact@verisana.co.uk.

How is my privacy protected?

Samples for our tests are collected in the privacy of your own home. Both we and our partner laboratories (which may be contracted by us to conduct some or all analyses of your test) take customer privacy very seriously. You will be the sole person with access to this information, and we guarantee that we will not disclose your information to any unauthorized third parties. Additionally, all samples will be disposed of after analysis.
