Faecal Minerals & Metals Stool Test Kit

Measures mineral and metal content in a stool sample — what's being excreted rather than what's circulating.

What this test measures

Essential minerals and heavy metals present in a single stool sample.

Why these markers matter

Blood tells you what's circulating now. Stool tells you what's leaving the body. For minerals and metals those are different questions, and the excretion picture is sometimes the more informative one — particularly where intake and absorption are both in question. This is a specialist test rather than a general health check, and it's usually ordered as part of a wider investigation rather than on its own.

What you get

Kit posted to you with instructions and return packaging. Results in your private dashboard, typically around two weeks after the lab receives your sample.

Before you collect

Follow the kit instructions on supplements — mineral supplementation affects this result more than most. Check with your practitioner before stopping anything.

Who this suits

People working with a practitioner on mineral status or environmental exposure questions.

Your next step

Once you have your results, book with a Canwell naturopath, nutritionist or practitioner to talk them through and build a wellness plan that suits you. Book with Canwell
