Our test will show you the accumulation of different EDCs in your body. Our follow up consultation and support will help you manage the effects and reduce further exposure.
The Science - Metabolites
Metabolites are a bi-product of natural processes where the body breaks down substances, including chemicals. They tell us what the body has been exposed to.
A growing body of scientific evidence links exposure to hundreds of chemicals with higher risk for a range of serious health conditions.
Our test measures exposure to 5 key groups of commonplace, everyday chemicals under scientific scrutiny.
