Mercury Urine Test

£89

Concerned about mercury exposure from your environment, occupation, or diet? This test measures mercury levels in urine, which is a key way the body eliminates this toxic heavy metal. Unlike a blood test, which reflects recent exposure, a urine test can help assess ongoing or chronic exposure, making it ideal for those at risk of long-term mercury buildup.

You'll need to visit The Doctors Laboratory in London to collect your sample as the sample is not suitable for posting.
