What Is Heavy Metal Detox?

A heavy metal detox refers to the process of eliminating toxic heavy metals from the body. Heavy metals like lead, mercury, cadmium, arsenic, and aluminum can accumulate in your tissues over time due to environmental exposure, food, water, dental work, medications, or industrial pollutants. In high amounts, these metals can interfere with normal biological processes and cause serious health issues.

Common Sources of Heavy Metal Exposure
Fish and seafood (mercury)
Contaminated water (lead, arsenic)
Old paint and pipes (lead)
Industrial pollution
Dental amalgams (mercury)
Cigarette smoke (cadmium)
