Urinary Toxic Metals Test Kit Instructions | Vibrant & Mosaic

Urinary Toxic Metals (UTM) testing through Vibrant America and Mosaic Diagnostics measures heavy metals such as mercury, lead, arsenic, and cadmium. This handout is designed primarily as a clear, step-by-step preparation and collection guide to help you complete your specific test kit accurately and confidently.

At Nourish Medical Center, we utilize both provoked and non-provoked urinary toxic metals testing to assess patterns of exposure and overall body burden. This resource focuses specifically on helping you properly prepare for and complete your kit to ensure reliable, clinically meaningful results.

Important Testing Note

There are two versions of urinary toxic metals testing:

• Non-provoked testing is generally used to evaluate more recent or acute exposure.
• Provoked testing uses a prescribed mobilizing agent and is typically preferred for assessing long-term body burden.

In some cases, a comprehensive evaluation may involve completing both an unprovoked and a provoked test, which requires two separate test kits performed at different times.

This handout does not determine which option is appropriate for you. It serves as a practical guide for whichever kit your Nourish doctor has instructed you to complete.
