Did You Know?

Did you know that the Northwest Indiana area is ranked in the 90-95% for land, air and soil pollution by the EPA.  This is not a grade school “A” ranking.

Heavy metals exposure occurs unknowingly and is harmful to the brain.  Metals disrupt the chemicals that control your mood, behavior, and learning.  They create a stress in the body that requires a need for greater antioxidants and can otherwise cause disruption and degradation of the neurologic system.

Some nutritional metal “elements” provide protection to mood and brain health, while others are harmful.

Some of the metals can be disruptive to reproduction.  Cadmium, for example, is a known carcinogen but even small exposure can take 20-30 years to be cleared from the body.  Some people on a plant-based diet can see elevated levels depending on their food sources and quality.  Our easy urine collection test kits will check for toxic metals of:

Aluminum, Antimony, Arsenic, Barium, Beryllium, Bismuth, Cadmium, Cesium, Gadolinium, Lead, Mercury, Nickel, Palladium, Platinum, Tellurium, Thallium, Thorium, Tin, Tungsten, and Uranium.

Exposure is widespread and the question is when were you exposed and not if you were.  If you experience muscle weakness, fatigue, foggy thinking, cardiac symptoms, immune weaknesses or frequent illnesses you may have built up some metals exposures.
