Red Blood Cell (RBC) Elements

This test measures essential and toxic elements inside red blood cells, providing a longer-term view of your body’s mineral status—such as magnesium, selenium, zinc, and heavy metals.

RBC testing reflects your body’s true storage levels, unlike serum which only shows what’s circulating. This is useful when evaluating nutrient deficiencies or chronic toxin exposure.
