Frequently Asked
Common Questions About Mineral & Metal Testing
Can’t find your question here? Send it to us and we will reply before you book.
Ask your questionWhich sample type is best?
It depends entirely on the question. Hair reflects a longer window and is useful for looking back; spot urine describes what is being excreted now; whole blood describes what is currently circulating. Choosing the wrong one is the most common reason these tests get misread.
Should I stop my supplements before testing?
Usually some of them, and for a specific period. You will be given written instructions with the kit. Testing while taking a high-dose mineral supplement measures the supplement more than it measures you.
If a metal is high, do I need chelation?
Not automatically, and we will not treat it as automatic. The first and most effective step is finding and removing the source of exposure. Chelation is a medical procedure with real risks, considered only where the clinical picture genuinely warrants it, with those risks discussed in full.
Do I need a consultation first?
Yes. A doctor orders the test after a consultation, so it is chosen for your history and symptoms, not picked from a list. The same doctor then explains your results.
Where are the samples analyzed?
Samples are processed by accredited local and international laboratories, including partners in Australia, Germany and the USA, depending on which panel is ordered.
What happens after the results come back?
Your doctor goes through your results with you in person instead of emailing them. Together you agree a personalized plan, and the relevant markers are retested later to check it is working.
