Systemic heavy metals.... not the music

[Slayer]

Are heavy metals in the environment and supplements a concern? I’m considering buying a test kit from Thorne. Has anyone tried it or discovered heavy metals in their system otherwise? I’ve been using UGL test for TRT for years and wonder about the possiblities of heavy metals that might be in it.

Interesting… the job I retired from (big plant) manufacturing and repair had on going heavy metal monitoring.

I guess it’s possible depending on how sterile/cautious the lab is.

Yet another good reason to use saunas as we excrete these mostly though sweat.

We have metal detectors for the supplements we
Make

I weld on different nasty metals all the time, chrome, stainless, inconel, hastalloy, duplex, etc… they’re all poison

I wonder if the protein powders we use are loaded with heavy metals since I assume it all comes from China.

I can promise that there are heavy metals in gear and dietary supplements because even pharma grade products have heavy metals.

It depends on if there within the “safe range” you know how they play games with safe ranges smh

I haven’t heard of that kit but its very interesting and if you do test please let us know im extremely interested in what comes back

You know that someone brought up that saunas don’t actually help I always thought that they did also I tried to find studies that were legitimate but I guess they don’t study it lol
I really wonder if sweating does bleed the contaminants out of your body

Do you get tested?

I got pneumonia and bronchitis really bad a few years back when we were building a powerhouse, I was on the critical weld crew and started coughing up blood really bad, that was the first thing I asked the doctor to look for when I got sick was heavy metal poisoning

We had a program at my last place for the touch labor tradesmen. It was a pretty tight monitoring system.
