Heavy Metal Toxins

Heavy metal toxins are substances produced from naturally occurring metals, or from the by-products of industrial processes. They often enter the environment and can become concentrated in food and water sources, leading to potential health concerns for humans and other animals. Heavy metal toxins can cause serious neurological, kidney, and liver damage, and can also be linked to increased risk of cancer. Exposure to heavy metal toxins can be assessed through blood, urine, and hair tests. Treatment often involves chelation therapy, which removes the heavy metals from the body. Identifying and treating exposure to heavy metal toxins is important to prevent long-term health problems.
