Urine Tests

Heavy Metals Screening


This simple in-house urine screening test allows your practitioner to assess the need to excrete heavy metals as part of your program.

These can impair the body’s ability to detox itself absorb nutrients and may be a contributing factor in inflammatory conditions and joint pain and may be a contributing factor to other symptoms.

Testing for urinary pH

Why is urinary pH important?

Subtle changes to the pH of the body can have substantial impacts on a range of health conditions, including stress, bone density, pain, muscle mass and hormonal balance. Urinary pH is a good measure of the ‘acid-load’ within the body, and many Practitioners use urinary pH to tailor their treatment plans. Urinary pH ranges from 4.5 to 8.0 in extreme cases, and from 5.5 to 6.5 in the average patient.

Potassium citrate at a dose of 4.0 g daily has been shown to reduce acidity

The BetterHealth Clinic uses a practitioner only product that provides 4.0 g per day of potassium citrate, along with glutamine, to alkalise the body during stress. One of the other practitioner only products often used in our 2 week detoxification program provides 4.0 g per day of potassium citrate along with herbs and nutrients to enhance gut and kidney detoxification.
