Is toxin exposure impacting your wellness?

We’re all exposed to toxins, nearly every day. Often times, we have no idea how much of it we are exposed to, or what health risks they may pose. Since air pollution and other environmental toxins are often an invisible threat, it’s important to be proactive, so you can take necessary steps to ensure optimal health. Life Extension offers a number of tests to help identify toxin levels in your body. This is done with stool, blood or urine samples that can usually be collected and shipped from the privacy of your own home.

What can toxin tests tell you?

  • If you have an unhealthy build-up of heavy metals
  • Mold exposure
  • Exposure to a variety of environmental pollutants
  • Whether your liver is functioning optimally
