{"product_id":"trimercury-test","title":"Trimercury Test","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe Mercury Tri-Test is a comprehensive functional assessment used to evaluate mercury exposure, body burden, and the body's ability to excrete mercury, distinguishing between its two primary forms: methylmercury and inorganic mercury.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eMercury is one of the most neurotoxic elements in the environment. Exposure occurs through multiple routes, most commonly dietary intake of large fish and seafood (methylmercury), and inorganic mercury from amalgam dental fillings, industrial exposure, or contaminated water. The two forms behave differently in the body, accumulate in different tissues, and require different clinical approaches. Standard mercury testing does not separate them, making it difficult to identify where exposure is coming from or how effectively the body is clearing it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe Mercury Tri-Test is the only clinical test that uses three sample types simultaneously, blood, hair, and urine, to provide a complete picture of both exposure sources and excretion capacity. Testing is carried out in a CLIA-certified laboratory using patented mercury speciation technology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat The Test Evaluates\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe Mercury Tri-Test measures across three specimen types:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eBlood (whole blood):\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eTotal mercury in blood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eMethylmercury in blood (reflecting recent dietary exposure, primarily from seafood)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eInorganic mercury in blood (reflecting amalgam or environmental exposure)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eBlood mercury speciation ratio (proportion of methyl to inorganic mercury)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eHair:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eTotal mercury in hair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eMethylmercury in hair (a longer-term marker of dietary methylmercury intake, reflecting months of cumulative exposure)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eHair-to-blood methylmercury ratio (used to assess methylmercury excretion efficiency through the hair pathway)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eUrine:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eTotal mercury in urine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eInorganic mercury in urine (the primary excretion route for inorganic mercury)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eUrine-to-blood inorganic mercury ratio (used to assess the body's capacity to excrete inorganic mercury through the kidneys)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eTaken together, these three specimen types allow clinicians to identify not just whether mercury is present, but which form is dominant, where it is likely coming from, and whether the body is excreting it effectively or retaining it in tissues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow The Test Works\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe Mercury Tri-Test uses three sample collection methods, all conducted at home or with minimal clinical support:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eA blood draw (venous or finger-prick), arranged with a phlebotomy provider\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eA hair sample, collected using scissors from the nape of the neck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eA urine sample, collected in the vessel provided in the kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eAll samples are returned to the CLIA-certified laboratory for analysis using patented mercury speciation technology.
