Hormone Health Hub: Expert Insights on Testing, Balance & Better Living — body burden testing

The FDA doesn’t require cosmetics to be tested for safety before going to market — and studies have found lead, cadmium, arsenic and mercury in popular lipsticks used daily by millions of women. Discover the health risks of heavy metal exposure from beauty products and how a simple at-home test can reveal your body burden.

Learn why the biological sample used for element testing — urine, whole blood, serum, hair, or nails — can dramatically change how toxic and essential mineral results are interpreted. Discover how different sample types reveal recent intake, long-term exposure, body burden, deficiency, or chronic toxicity for elements like mercury, lead, cadmium, arsenic, selenium, zinc, copper, iodine, and magnesium, and why choosing the correct testing method is critical for clinically meaningful results.
