Environmental toxins and poor detoxification pathways contribute to chronic disease, fatigue, and neurological issues.

The Heavy Metals Detox BioMap measures the most clinically relevant toxic metals that impact brain health, mitochondrial function, and systemic inflammation.

BioMap included tests are listed below.

    • Reference range: <7 mcg/L

    • Aluminum is a common element in the earth's crust and is found in small amounts in many foods and everyday products. However, aluminum is also a neurotoxin with no known physiological benefit to the human body.

    • Aluminum toxicity is most damaging to the brain, bones, blood, and kidneys. It impairs cognitive function, weakens the immune system, disrupts red blood cell production, and contributes to bone disease—especially dangerous in people with poor detox capacity or chronic exposure.

    • Test helps determine if an individual has been exposed to higher than normal levels of aluminum.

    • Reference range: <23 mcg/L

    • Like aluminum, arsenic is a toxic element with no essential role in the human body.

    • Arsenic is a potent multi-system toxin, which most heavily affects the nervous system, skin, blood, liver, kidneys, and cardiovascular system, and is strongly linked to immune suppression and cancer risk. Even low-level chronic exposure can lead to significant harm over time.

    • Test helps determine if an individual has been exposed to higher than normal levels of arsenic.

    • Reference range: <5.1 mcg/L

    • Cadmium is another heavy metal with no known biological benefit to humans and a high potential for toxicity, especially with chronic exposure.

    • Cadmium toxicity primarily affects the kidneys, bones, lungs, and immune system. It is a long-term health threat, especially from sources like cigarette smoke, industrial exposure, contaminated food (especially rice, organ meats, and shellfish), and polluted air or water. It also raises cancer risk and depletes the body’s antioxidants (e.g., glutathione, zinc).

    • Test helps determine if an individual has been exposed to higher than normal levels of cadmium.

    • Reference range: <3.5 mcg/dL

    • Lead is one of the most well-studied and dangerous heavy metals—toxic at even low levels, especially in children. It has no safe threshold, and it affects nearly every system in the body, with especially devastating effects on the nervous system, development, and detox pathways.

    • Lead mimics calcium, zinc, and iron—essential minerals your body needs—but once inside, it disrupts enzymes, damages cells, and interferes with neurotransmission, hormone balance, and red blood cell function.

    • It accumulates primarily in bones, brain, liver, and kidneys, and is very difficult to eliminate without intentional detox.

    • Reference range: <11 mcg/L

    • Mercury exists in three major forms, and they are all toxic—elemental, inorganic and organic.

    • Elemental: broken thermometers, dental fillings, industrial vapor

    • Inorganic: skin creams, batteries

    • Organic: contaminated fish (tuna, swordfish), seafood

    • Mercury toxicity primarily affects the brain, kidneys, immune system, and fetal development. Organic forms (like methylmercury from fish) are especially dangerous for the nervous system, while inorganic and vapor forms damage the kidneys and may trigger autoimmune disorders.
