What is the Salerno Heavy Metals Challenge Test?
The Salerno Heavy Metal Challenge Test is a diagnostic test designed to help identify the presence of toxic heavy metals in your body. The test works by providing a measurement of mercury, lead, cadmium, and arsenic stored in your tissues. This information is beneficial in quantifying the amount of toxic metals you may have in your system. Heavy metals can cause a variety of health issues when they build up in the body over time. The Heavy Metal Challenge Test can be used to help you understand your body’s toxic burden and help address issues related to heavy metal toxicity.

How the Heavy Metal Challenge Test Works
The Heavy Metal Challenge Test works by first administering a chelating agent. This agent binds to the heavy metals that are stored in the tissues of your body and releases them into the urine, where they can be accurately measured. You will be required to collect a urine sample at home a few hours after taking the chelating agent. The sample will then be sent to a laboratory where it will be tested and analyzed.
