Aluminium Test Kit
Aluminium testing kit, home aluminium testing kit for aluminium toxicity, aluminium poisoning and contamination in water and the human body.
Test urine for aluminium levels if you are concerned about aluminium pollution exposure.
Toxic effects of aluminium heavy metal contamination can be poisonous, ingestion of aluminium is dangerous and can lead to illness.
To test for other heavy metals, we also offer specialist heavy metals test kits for many other heavy metals.
Or try heavy metal hair analysis for accurate laboratory results with dietary recommendations.
Aluminium toxicity heavy metal poisoning symptoms.
You could be suffering from Aluminium poisoning symptoms, simple home health check to check your aluminium exposure levels and if you will benefit from an aluminium Detox.
Aluminium is a neurotoxin that alters the function of the blood-brain barrier, it is one of the few abundant elements that appear to have no beneficial function to living cells.
A small percent of people are allergic to it aluminium they experience contact dermatitis from any form of it: an itchy rash from using styptic or aluminium chlorohydrate in deodorant products (some studies suggest a link between aluminium in deodorants and breast cancer), digestive disorders and inability to absorb nutrients from eating food cooked in aluminium cooking utensils.
In other people, aluminium is not considered as toxic as heavy metals, but there is evidence of some toxicity if it is consumed in excessive amounts. The use of aluminium cookware could contribute to our intake of aluminium.
Aluminium toxicity treatment
Excessive consumption of antacids containing aluminium compounds and excessive use of aluminium containing antiperspirants ( we sell aluminium free deodorant anti perspirant) are more likely causes of aluminium toxicity symptoms.
In research published in the Journal of Applied Toxicology, Dr. Philippa D. Darby of the University of Reading has shown that aluminium salts increase estrogens gene expression in human breast cancer cells grown in the laboratory.
These salts' estrogens effects have aluminium to their classification as a metalloestrogen. It has been suggested that aluminium is a cause of Alzheimer's disease, as some brain plaques have been found to contain the metal.
Research in this area has been inconclusive; aluminium accumulation may be a consequence of the Alzheimer's damage, not the cause.
In any event, if there is any toxicity of aluminium it must be via a very specific mechanism, since total human exposure to the element in the form of naturally occurring clay in soil and dust is enormously large over a lifetime.

- 1 vial with yellow cap - Reagent 3
How To Check Aluminium Levels - Preparation
Aluminium testing kit preparation
- Remove the 3 vials from the large test tube.
- In the empty large test-tube, add 5ml volume of the sample solution (water, urine, etc) to be tested for Aluminium into the test tube
- The solution is now ready for testing for aluminium.
How To Test For Aluminium Poisoning - Use
Aluminium testing kit use
- Add content from blue-cap vial (reagent 1) to the large test-tube containing the solution to be tested.
- Close the large test-tube and shake the combined solutions for 2 to 3 minutes;
- Add the content in the clear-cap vial (reagent 2) to the combined solutions in the large test-tube;
- Close the large test-tube and shake;
- Add the content in the yellow-cap vial (reagent 3) to the large test-tube;
- Close the large test-tube and shake;
- Let the large test-tube with all the combined solutions stand for 5 minutes;
- Compare the resultant colour of the combined solution to be tested for aluminium in the large test-tube to the colour strip provided.
NB. Please be careful not to cause any foam to be formed when shaking the test tube
How to test for aluminium in the body
A colour change will indicate the presence of aluminium (chart on label of kit).
Aluminium Poisoning Test - Results
Aluminium testing kit results, result is measured accurately in parts per million.
Tests the presence of ions of aluminium to a high degree of accuracy to detect contamination of aluminium in drinking water (aluminium oxide water poisoning) and aluminium in urine.
