Heavy Metal Test
Heavy metal testing is a comprehensive diagnostic procedure designed to identify and measure harmful metals in your body. With this test, you can take proactive steps to safeguard your health and well-being by detecting and addressing potential toxicities early.
A simple test today for a healthier tomorrow.
How does Heavy Metal Test works?
Heavy metal testing involves taking a small blood sample, which is analysed using techniques like atomic absorption spectroscopy or mass spectrometry. These methods precisely measure the levels of metals such as lead, mercury, arsenic, and cadmium in your bloodstream. The results show if the metal levels are within a safe range or if they pose potential health risks, giving you clear guidance for next steps. It’s a straightforward process that provides detailed insights into your body’s exposure to toxic metals.
Benefits of Heavy Metal Test
Early Detection
Identifies elevated levels of toxic metals before symptoms manifest, allowing for timely intervention.
Health Assessment
Assists in diagnosing unexplained symptoms that may be linked to metal toxicity, such as fatigue, digestive issues, or neurological disturbances.
Monitoring Exposure
Evaluates individuals at risk due to occupational or environmental factors, ensuring exposure levels remain within safe limits.
Guiding Treatment
Informs healthcare providers in developing appropriate treatment plans, including chelation therapy, to reduce metal concentrations in the body.
Prioritise your well-being with insights that matter.
Who is suitable for Heavy Metal Test?
Heavy metal testing is advisable for individuals who may have been exposed to toxic metals. It is particularly recommended for:
Occupationally Exposed Individuals
Workers in industries such as construction, mining, manufacturing, and painting, where exposure to heavy metals like lead, mercury, cadmium, or arsenic is possible.
People Living Near Contaminated Sites
Residents near industrial areas, waste disposal sites, or locations with known heavy metal contamination who may be at risk of exposure.
Individuals with Unexplained Symptoms
Patients presenting symptoms such as fatigue, neurological issues, gastrointestinal problems, or other unexplained health concerns that could be related to heavy metal toxicity.
Children
Particularly those in environments where lead exposure can occur (e.g., old homes with lead paint) as they are more susceptible to the effects of heavy metals.
Pregnant Women
Expectant mothers may require testing due to the risks associated with heavy metal exposure for both maternal and fetal health.
Individuals with Specific Health Conditions
Those with conditions like kidney disease, neurological disorders, or autoimmune diseases, as heavy metals can exacerbate these issues.
Patients on Certain Medications
Individuals undergoing treatments that might lead to increased heavy metal exposure or those on medications that can impact heavy metal levels in the body.
Health Advocates and Nutrition Enthusiasts
Individuals interested in optimising their health and nutrition may seek testing to rule out heavy metal toxicity as a factor in chronic health issues.
First Responders
Firefighters, police officers, and emergency medical personnel who may be exposed to hazardous materials during their work.

Anna Hoo Clinic Reviews
Dr. Anna, Kah Hong and the team has been providing good service and professional advice regarding our body health needs. All the staff are very friendly too. Thanks for the excellent service!
I liked the personal touch. The doctor was attentive and took the time to explain my condition and the intended procedure to me. That makes me feel that I am in safe hands. Two thumbs up!
Tried the Hydrafacial treamtment and it’s so good! No down time. My skin is glowing, hydrated and lifted right after treatment. Perfect for those who are time poor!
Thanks to Dr.Anna and team for all your professional advise and guidance. We are happy to follow Dr.Anna for the passed 5 years.
I have been with Anna Hoo Clinic for more than 10 years. Dr. Anna is a very passionate and professional Doctor. I have seen so much improvement in my well-being as well as my skin. Her skill was excellent. For those who is in search of a professional aesthetic doctor or to improve your wellness, this is the place. Highly recommended 😘
I have been coming to Anna Hoo’s clinic for more than a decade. These being that Anna Hoo is the customer service (the nurses remember well), they are trained weekly to ensure protocals are met & Dr Anna who i have know for a long time even before she opened her first clinic would refuse to perform any treatment protocol unless she has thoroughly researched it & is convinced that it help a patients. There are to many clinics which emphasis sales, staff or not well trained & the procedures are often well researched. I am very particular about this & in Dr Anna’s case efficacy, safety protocol's are on the top of the list. And her Doctors like Dr William (her brother) & Dr Ian are very professional, knowledgeable & their equipment is state of the art. More importantly they will not promote a procedure unless they are certain it is good for you. Rest assured the patients needs comes first not their monthly sales targets unlike many other similar “Clinic” untrained & unqualified staff. Anna Hoo get 6 stars ft me, 5 stars doesn't do it justice.
Doctors are good in their expertise, staff are friendly, environment very cozy and nice, reasonable price with satisfied result and services.
Had a thoroughly enjoyable and comfortable experience at My Cozy Room. I was suffering from ache and clogged pores due to prolonged wearing of mask and was looking forward to have it clean up after hearing excellent reviews of My Cozy Room. Dynamics among the staff was good, amiable and friendly. My skin now has cleared up and improved drastically after just 1 session with them. Cannot wait to make the next appointment with them. Excellent experience I must say. Impressive with the quality of your staff and the products used.

Heavy metal testing measures the levels of potentially harmful metals, such as lead, mercury, arsenic, and cadmium, in your body. This test helps identify exposure to these metals, which can adversely affect health.
A healthcare professional collects a small blood sample, which is then analyzed in a laboratory to determine the concentration of specific metals in your bloodstream.
Symptoms can vary depending on the metal but often include fatigue, irritability, memory problems, digestive disturbances, and, in severe cases, neurological issues.
To minimise exposure, avoid known sources of heavy metals, such as certain contaminated foods, old lead-based paints, and polluted environments. Using water filters and ensuring a balanced diet can also help reduce risk.
