Toxic elements

Beryllium is a lightweight metal used in aerospace, electronics, and nuclear industries. Exposure to beryllium dust or fumes can pose health risks, including chronic beryllium disease (CBD), a serious lung condition, and skin disorders such as dermatitis. The highest risk of exposure occurs in industrial settings where beryllium is processed or machined.

Beryllium

Microplastic particles refer to tiny fragments of plastic, typically less than 5 millimeters in size, with this test specifically focusing on particles smaller than 30 micrometers. These particles can originate from a wide range of sources, including food packaging, textiles, cosmetics, personal care products, and environmental pollution. Once ingested or inhaled, microplastics may enter the bloodstream and circulate in the body.

Microplastic particles

Antimony is a metalloid used in flame retardants, electronics, and alloys. Exposure to antimony can be toxic, potentially causing respiratory irritation, skin problems, and, in severe cases, heart and lung issues. People working in industries that handle antimony or living near manufacturing sites may face higher exposure risks, and proper safety measures and environmental monitoring can help reduce toxicity.

Antimony

Silver is a metal with diverse uses in industry and medicine, but it can become toxic with significant human exposure. While small amounts naturally occur in the environment and consumer products, excessive exposure can cause health issues such as argyria — a condition that permanently turns the skin blue-gray. Ingesting, inhaling, or contacting silver compounds can lead to argyria and may also impact the liver and kidneys.

Silver

Gold is a precious metal valued for its aesthetic appeal and industrial uses. It is commonly found in electronics, dentistry, and jewelry, and generally poses little risk in small amounts. However, prolonged skin contact or exposure to gold dust in industrial settings can cause dermatitis and allergic reactions. Inhalation of gold nanoparticles in manufacturing environments may also impact respiratory health.

Gold

Glyphosphate: Glyphosphate is a chemical compound used as an active ingredient in many herbicides. It works by inhibiting an enzyme essential for plant growth, making it effective for weed control. Glyphosphate is commonly applied to crops such as wheat, soybean, and corn and can be found in food and water. Exposure to glyphosphate has been associated with potential health risks, and its presence in the body can provide insights into environmental and dietary effects.

Glyphosate

Tin (Sn) is a metal commonly used in alloys, food packaging, and electronics, and is generally considered to have low toxicity. However, certain organic tin compounds used in industrial processes can pose health risks, such as skin and eye irritation, digestive problems, and in severe cases, neurological effects. People who handle tin in manufacturing or use products containing tin should be aware of these potential risks. Reducing exposure to organic tin compounds and following safety guidelines are important to prevent tin-related toxicity.

Bismuth (Bi) is a heavy metal commonly found in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and certain alloys. While generally considered safe, excessive exposure—particularly from medications containing bismuth—can lead to toxicity. Bismuth toxicity may cause neurological symptoms, including confusion and poor coordination. The primary route of exposure to bismuth is through ingestion of bismuth-containing products.

Bismuth

Platinum (Pt) is a precious metal used in automotive catalytic converters, jewelry, and chemotherapy drugs. While valuable, it can pose health risks when inhaled or through prolonged skin contact. Exposure may cause allergic reactions, respiratory problems, and skin irritation, particularly for workers in industries handling platinum or individuals wearing platinum-based jewelry. Proper protective measures and limiting excessive exposure can help reduce these health risks.

Platinum

Uranium (U) is a radioactive element used in nuclear power and weapons. It poses health risks mainly through radiation exposure and chemical toxicity. Ingesting or inhaling uranium can damage the kidneys and increase cancer risk due to its radioactivity. The highest exposure risks occur near uranium mining and processing sites or contaminated areas. Reducing exposure involves using water filters and following safety guidelines in affected locations.

Uranium

Gadolinium (Gd) is a rare earth metal used as a contrast agent in MRI scans. While it is generally considered safe, there are concerns about gadolinium deposits remaining in the body, particularly in individuals with kidney issues. Gadolinium retention can sometimes cause symptoms such as skin thickening, bone pain, and cognitive difficulties.

Gadolinium

Barium (Ba) is a soft, silvery metal used in various industries, including manufacturing and medical diagnostics. While barium sulfate used in medical imaging is considered safe, exposure to soluble barium compounds can be harmful. Such exposure may affect the heart, cause muscle weakness, and damage the kidneys and liver. Industrial workers and individuals near barium processing plants are at higher risk of exposure through inhalation or contaminated water.

Barium

Palladium is a metal used in electronics, jewelry, and dental materials. While it is useful across various industries, high levels of inhalation or ingestion can be toxic, especially in occupational settings. Exposure may cause respiratory, skin, and digestive problems, and some individuals may develop allergic reactions such as dermatitis.

Palladium

Titanium (Ti) is a metal commonly used in medical implants, cosmetics, and paints, prized for its strength and corrosion resistance. While elemental titanium is generally considered safe, inhaling titanium dioxide (TiO₂) particles, especially in powder form, can pose respiratory hazards. People working in industries that handle titanium materials or using certain cosmetic products may be exposed. Adhering to safety guidelines and using protective equipment can help reduce the risk of inhaling titanium particles.

The home test was straightforward with easy to follow instructions. The test result was detailed and clear in its presentation. Also had the opportunity to ask questions about the test result.

We looked at a lot of companies offering the same services but made the decision to go forward with get tested because the labs are based here in the USA. The process has been very straight forward.

There are other providers out there, I have tried 3. Gettested was the fastest and the customer service was the best. I even received my test on the day of purchase delivered by a motorbike courier.

Absolutely perfect, results came after few days and finally after a lots of times visited GP, we finally know why my son has eczema - he is allergy to carrot. Thanks a lot.

I found them to be professional and not too long a wait for results. Helpful with any after questions. Will be using them again if need be. I highly recommend them.

About GetTested's Hair Mineral Analysis
Hair Mineral Analysis is an advanced screening method providing deep insights into your body's mineral balance and exposure to heavy metals. Firstly, this test measures levels of essential minerals and trace minerals. It also identifies potentially harmful heavy metals and toxic substances in the body. Trace minerals are essential for the body in small amounts but can be toxic in larger doses. Even in small amounts, heavy metals and other toxic substances can be harmful and require careful monitoring.
By analyzing a small piece of hair, or nails for those lacking sufficient hair, the test offers a non-invasive method to assess your nutritional status and toxic exposures. For those without head hair, using other body hair is also acceptable.
Benefits of Hair Mineral Analysis

Non-Invasive and Simple: Requires only a small amount of hair or nails, making it a painless and straightforward process.
Long-Term Exposure Indicator: Hair and nails store information about your body's chemical balance over months, offering a more comprehensive view than blood tests that reflect the current state.
ISO-Certified Lab: Analyses are performed at an accredited and ISO-certified laboratory, ensuring the highest standard of precision and reliability in the results.

Why Hair Mineral Analysis?
