About this test
This panel measures arsenic, lead, and mercury in whole blood, the three metals most often behind toxic exposure from contaminated water, food, occupational dust and fumes, old paint, certain folk remedies, and high seafood intake. Blood levels reflect recent or ongoing exposure: lead is checked when symptoms like abdominal pain, fatigue, irritability, anemia, or cognitive changes raise concern, mercury when high fish consumption or tremor and neurological symptoms are in play, and arsenic when acute or environmental exposure is suspected. Elevated results point to active exposure and guide whether to remove the source and consider treatment.
This three-metal version is the focused default. If your concern includes cadmium (smoking, occupational exposure) or cobalt (metal implants), the broader four- and five-metal blood panels add those, and the urine panel is better for assessing longer-term arsenic and cadmium burden than a single blood draw.
Consider it if
- Workplace exposure to metals through dust, fumes, soldering, batteries, or mining
- Symptoms like abdominal pain, fatigue, tremor, numbness, or cognitive changes with a possible exposure source
- Living in older housing with lead paint or relying on well or contaminated water
- High intake of fish or shellfish that could raise mercury
- Confirming exposure has dropped after removing a suspected source
Why are there member and non-member prices?
Members get Mito's no-markup price on tests. The non-member price is the standard price.
Mito membership is $9/month and unlocks member pricing across the catalog. It's how Mito is supported, so we don't have to mark up your tests or earn more when you buy more. Your member savings are applied at checkout.

Pre-test considerations
Avoid seafood and red wine for 72 hours before collection, since both can transiently raise blood levels of these metals. No fasting required. Collected in a royal blue-top EDTA tube; a clotted specimen will be rejected.

Frequently asked questions
View all FAQsHow does pricing work?
Every test shows the member price next to the standard non-member price, so you can see what membership saves you. Your price is our cost plus a small amount to run the service, never a profit on the test itself; Mito makes its money on the $9 membership, not on marking up your tests. Members pay even less, applied at checkout (membership is $9/mo, and you still pay the lab’s order fee). Prices are itemized before you pay, with no hidden fees.
Where do I get tested?
Choose a partner lab (Quest, Labcorp, or BioReference) at checkout. If your cart spans multiple tests, we consolidate the whole order onto a single lab so you only make one visit.
Is this eligible for HSA/FSA?
Yes. This test is HSA/FSA eligible, and you can pay with your HSA/FSA card at checkout.
When will I get my results?
Your results are typically visible within 1-2 business days of your lab visit. A clinician then reviews them, and your full analysis and personalized action plan — with clear next steps — follow once that review is complete. Specialty assays and at-home kits take longer; each test shows its turnaround before you buy.
Do I need a doctor’s order?
No. Mito provides the lab order for you, so you can book and get tested without a separate doctor visit.
