Understanding Your Chromium Levels: Your Path to Better Health
If you’ve been experiencing unexplained fatigue, skin irritation, or concerns about heavy metal exposure, the Chromium 24-Hour Urine Test provides the answers you need. Many South Africans face chromium exposure through industrial work, environmental factors, or certain occupations, making this test an essential health screening tool. We understand the anxiety that comes with not knowing what’s affecting your health, which is why we’ve made this comprehensive testing accessible and affordable across South Africa.
What Does This Test Detect?
The Chromium 24-Hour Urine Test measures the amount of chromium eliminated from your body over a 24-hour period. This comprehensive assessment provides a clear picture of your chromium exposure levels, helping identify potential health risks before they become serious concerns. Using advanced ICPMS (Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry) technology, we ensure the highest accuracy in detecting even trace amounts of chromium.

This test is particularly important if you:
- Work in industries involving metal plating, welding, or chrome production
- Experience unexplained fatigue, skin rashes, or respiratory issues
