Blood Heavy-Metal Analysis

Name: Blood Heavy-Metal Analysis
Brand: YOUNGER
Price: 5800.0 TWD

NT$ 5,800

Measures the blood concentration of 17 toxic and essential elements, reflecting exposure over the past 2–3 months. Heavy metal interference usually shows up as fatigue, neurological instability and metabolic abnormality — symptoms rarely traced back to the source.

Worth testing if:

Long-term tiredness, hand tremor and poor concentration
You often eat large deep-sea fish, or have dental amalgam fillings
Your work environment involves contact with metals, paint or fuel
You want to compare before and after a heavy metal clearance programme

What this test is for

Assess your heavy metal exposure risk over the past 2–3 months, and identify the toxic interference that may sit behind chronic fatigue, neurological instability and metabolic abnormalities.

This is not simply "checking for poisoning". It is about spotting your exposure route early, so that adjusting habits, dietary sources and liver detoxification nutrients can actually clear accumulated toxins and reduce chronic risk.

Toxic Metals8

Lead (Pb)

One of the heavy metals with the clearest neurotoxicity, interfering with blood formation and kidney function. Main sources are old pipework, paint, some Chinese herbal medicines and industrial exposure.

Mercury (Hg)

Organic mercury (methylmercury) is the most toxic form, coming mainly from large deep-sea fish and dental amalgam, and accumulating in the nervous system and kidneys.

Arsenic (As)

Associated with skin lesions, cardiovascular disease and several cancers. Common sources are groundwater, seafood and some rice products.

Cadmium (Cd)

With a half-life of more than a decade, it primarily damages the kidneys and bones. Smoking, including second-hand smoke, is the largest source of exposure for most people.

Aluminum (Al)

Associated with neurodegeneration and abnormal bone metabolism. Commonly found in aluminium cookware, antacids and some antiperspirants.

Beryllium (Be)

A rare metal encountered mainly through occupational exposure; long-term inhalation is associated with chronic lung inflammation.

Nickel (Ni)

One of the most common contact-allergy metals, also linked to airway irritation. Sources include jewellery, stainless steel utensils and electroplated goods.

Cobalt (Co)

In trace amounts it forms part of vitamin B12, but in excess it affects thyroid and heart muscle function. Commonly seen with metal implants and industrial exposure.

Essential Elements7

Zinc (Zn)

Essential for immunity, wound healing and hormone synthesis. Too little brings infections, slow healing and dulled taste; too much suppresses copper absorption.

Copper (Cu)

Involved in blood formation and antioxidant enzymes. It is antagonistic with zinc — over-supplementing zinc easily creates relative copper deficiency, so the two must be read together.

Manganese (Mn)

Essential for bone and antioxidant enzymes, but in excess it affects nerve conduction and can produce Parkinson's-like presentations.

Chromium (Cr)

Involved in insulin signalling and blood sugar stability. Trivalent chromium is a nutrient while hexavalent chromium is toxic; the sources differ and must be considered separately.

Selenium (Se)

Key to thyroid hormone conversion and the glutathione antioxidant system. Taiwan's soil is relatively low in selenium, so insufficient intake is not uncommon.

Molybdenum (Mo)

Involved in sulphur-containing amino acid and purine metabolism, and a cofactor for detoxification enzymes; deficiency raises the likelihood of sulphite sensitivity.

Iron (Fe)

Central to blood formation and energy metabolism. Too little brings fatigue and hair loss; too much raises oxidative stress and the load on the liver — neither extreme is good.

Borderline Elements / Special Metabolic Relevance (extended risks when metal metabolism is disturbed)2

Calcium (Ca)

Blood calcium is tightly regulated by hormones, so an abnormal value usually reflects a parathyroid or vitamin D regulation problem rather than simply how much you take in.

Magnesium (Mg)

Involved in over 300 enzyme reactions and tied to energy production, muscle relaxation and sleep quality. Long-term stress accelerates its depletion.

Frequently asked questions

I'm not poisoned — why test heavy metals?

Chronic exposure often has no obvious symptoms, presenting instead as fatigue, immune problems and hormone imbalance

My family eats the same food, so I must be fine too?

Detoxification and excretion capacity differ from person to person — some metabolise slowly and accumulate fast

Isn't this supposed to be a hair test?

Blood reflects exposure over the past 2–3 months more accurately, which suits tracking the effect of a treatment course or suspected recent intake
