1119 Nutrient & Toxic Element Analysis (Blood)
The analysis of nutrient and toxic elements concentrations in serum, plasma, red blood cells, and whole blood serves as an important indicator for accurately assessing the body's mineral nutritional status and short-term exposure to toxic elements. This type of analysis can be used to evaluate the body's needs related to energy metabolism (magnesium, potassium), anti-inflammatory and antioxidant functions (selenium, copper, and zinc), anemia (copper, iron, cobalt), immune function and mood-related symptoms (zinc, copper, magnesium), neurological stability (lithium), and glucose tolerance (chromium, manganese). It helps physicians quickly identify potential nutritional imbalances, thereby preventing or improving conditions such as nutrient deficiencies, chronic fatigue, depression, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and cardiovascular diseases.

Application of Blood Mineral and Heavy Metal Analysis
Minerals (trace elements) play a vital role in human growth, development, and immune function. Deficiencies can impair growth and immune performance, directly causing damage, alterations, or differentiation in immune organs and immune cells, leading to immunodeficiency. Deficiencies may also indirectly weaken immune function by affecting nutrient metabolism and the development of other tissues in the body. This analysis selects clinically relevant specimen types based on the distribution ratios of various elements in the body to assess the storage and accumulation status of essential and toxic elements. The results help guide appropriate supplementation of nutritional elements or the elimination of heavy metals.
Nutrient Deficiencies
Unfortunately, deficiencies in essential nutrients are common in daily life and can lead to a variety of health issues. Examples include
- Iron deficiency
Associated with anemia, cognitive impairment, reduced attention and memory, and increased absorption of lead. - Zinc deficiency
Linked to delayed growth and development, poor wound healing, infertility, immune suppression, and congenital abnormalities. - Magnesium deficiency
Related to fatigue, depression, osteoporosis, and hypertension. - Selenium deficiency
Significantly associated with lung and breast cancers, reduced antioxidant capacity, and poor blood sugar regulation. - Copper deficiency
Leads to decreased iron absorption, anemia, osteoporosis, and growth retardation.
Accurately assessing mineral levels is a critical step in identifying underlying causes of disease.
Effects of Toxic Element Exposure
Evidence indicates that long-term exposure to toxic elements may have detrimental effects on the body, including
| Nutrient Deficiencies | |
|---|---|
| Cardiovascular Disease | Neurodevelopment and Neurological Function |
| Infertility | Respiratory, Liver, and Immune Functions |
| Cancer Risk | Cognitive and Emotional Health |
| Degenerative Diseases | Energy Production |
| Attention Deficit / Hyperactivity Disorder (ADD/ADHD) | Autism |
| Chronic Fatigue Syndrome | Thyroid Dysfunction |
The important information provided by Nutrient & Toxic Element Analysis is as follows
- Blood nutrient element testing serves as a valuable tool for assessing an individual's nutritional status. The long-term balance of these elements is crucial for supporting metabolism and protecting the body from the accumulation of toxic substances.
- Imbalances in essential nutrients can lead to issues such as fatigue, depression, insomnia, osteoporosis, hypertension, heart disease, developmental delays, poor wound healing, infertility, and chronic stress.
- Recent or current exposure to toxic elements may trigger neurological damage, emotional instability, behavioral or learning difficulties, chronic pain, and skin problems
- Prolonged exposure to toxic elements, even at threshold levels, may impair neurodevelopment, and cause cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, immune, or cognitive dysfunction.
