Know More About Mercury
The Mercury at-home test measures body burden of mercury by analysing samples such as whole blood, urine or hair, using accredited UAE laboratory methods (typically ICP‑MS for trace metal accuracy). A trained phlebotomist collects samples at your Dubai residence or you follow a supplied kit protocol for hair/urine collection; samples are then processed in certified Dubai/UAE labs to provide precise quantitative results.
This test is important for detecting recent or chronic mercury exposure that can affect neurological, renal and developmental health, particularly in pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers, children, and people with occupational or dietary exposure (e.g., frequent consumption of large predatory fish). Results are paired with personalised nutritional and lifestyle guidance from UAE-credentialed nutritionists to help reduce exposure and support detoxification strategies under medical supervision.
