Easy to use, highly accurate cholesterol test kit

By measuring your Total cholesterol and your HDL cholesterol, you will get more information about both separate values and you will also be provided with information about their relation to one another.
A high cholesterol level is a risk factor for hardening of the arteries,stroke and heart attacks.

The reagents contain oils which pose no health risk to the user if contact is made. Howevever, where contact is made to the eyes or inside the mouth the user is encouraged to consult his or her physician as soon as possible.

Mercury Test Kit
1 test
Product Code: MER100 |
This is a simple-to-use home test kit for determining mercury levels accurately and quickly, within a few minutes.
Mercury or "quicksilver," is a shiny liquid metal that is a widespread environmental contaminant. The levels of mercury in our bodies today are much higher because of its greater use in recent times. Mercury is employed daily by medical and dental practices in thermometers, drugs and amalgam for fillings. It is also present in fungicides and pesticides and in some cosmetics. Mercury from industrial waste has contaminated our fresh- and salt-waters and to the plants and fish therein.
An average body contains about 10-15 mg. of mercury. This comes daily from our food, air, and water. Mercury is not well absorbed through the intestinal tract, only about 5-10 percent. Inhaled mercury fumes go into the blood, since it is soluble and passes through the lungs. Some mercury is retained in body tissues, mainly in the kidneys. The kidneys store about 50 percent of the body mercury. The blood, bones, liver, spleen, brain, and fat tissue also hold mercury. This potentially toxic metal does get into the brain and nerve tissue, so central nervous system symptoms may develop. Mercury can also get into a growing fetus and into breast milk. Mercury is eliminated daily through the urine and feces. Urine levels would show whether the body is actively working to eliminate it.

Free Radical Testing Kit
1 test
Product Code: FR100 | |
The Free Radicals Test is an advanced technology (patent pending) produced in USA. It is the world's first free radicals test that can test a person's free radical activity in the body within 5 minutes. The test utilizes a urine sample to measure minute quantities of malondialydehyde (MDA) (a by-product of free radical activity) present in the body fluid. It is 40 to 50 times more sensitive than equivalent serum or blood (plasma) measurements because the test is done in urine. This is because MDA which is measured here is rapidly eliminated from blood in the body by the kidneys. The accuracy of the test is within a range of 90%.
