Heavy metals can accumulate in the body, disrupt the balance of essential nutrients and become toxic to organ systems.

Heavy metals can be toxic to organ systems when they accumulate in the body and can disrupt the balance of essential nutrients.

Multiple sample types allow the physician to choose the most clinically appropriate option.
