Minerales y metales tóxicos
Minerales y Metales Tóxicos – Análisis Capilar
El análisis capilar proporciona información importante sobre la exposición reciente y continua a metales potencialmente tóxicos, como el mercurio y el arsénico. A medida que la proteína se sintetiza en el folículo piloso, los elementos se incorporan permanentemente al cabello. El cabello del cuero cabelludo es fácil de tomar como muestra, y debido a que crece un promedio de uno a dos cm por mes, contiene un "registro temporal" del metabolismo de los elementos y la exposición a elementos tóxicos. Los niveles de elementos en el cabello se correlacionan con los niveles en órganos y otros tejidos.
El análisis capilar de elementos tóxicos y esenciales puede ayudar a determinar si la toxicidad de metales o la deficiencia de minerales está contribuyendo a un trastorno, monitorear los efectos de la quelación (eliminación de metales pesados del cuerpo) e identificar si la suplementación de minerales importantes puede generar mejoras significativas.
Por qué es importante esta prueba:
Muchos elementos se consideran nutrientes y son esenciales para el correcto funcionamiento del cuerpo. Estos generalmente se dividen en macrominerales como el calcio, el magnesio, el potasio, el sodio y el zinc, y oligoelementos que incluyen el selenio, el yodo, el boro y el molibdeno.
Por el contrario, hay una serie de elementos que son tóxicos para el cuerpo humano, interfieren con su funcionamiento y socavan la salud, como el mercurio, el plomo, el cadmio, el aluminio y el arsénico. Estos metales tóxicos no tienen funciones fisiológicas conocidas. Pueden ser tóxicos para los sistemas de órganos y pueden alterar el equilibrio de nutrientes esenciales. El estado de los metales tóxicos y los elementos esenciales se puede evaluar en orina, sangre, heces y cabello.
Los elementos tóxicos pueden estar entre 200 y 300 veces más concentrados en el cabello que en la sangre o la orina. Por lo tanto, el cabello es el tejido de elección para la detección de la exposición reciente a elementos como el arsénico, el aluminio, el cadmio, el plomo, el antimonio y el mercurio. Los CDC reconocen el valor de los niveles de mercurio en el cabello como un marcador materno e infantil de exposición al metilmercurio neurotóxico proveniente del pescado.
Deberías considerar hacerte la prueba si tienes:
- Exposición a elementos tóxicos
- Consumo excesivo de pescado
- Alopecia
- Depresión
- Fatiga
- Mala absorción
- Hipertensión
- Tolerancia a la glucosa alterada
- Función renal alterada
- Síntomas similares al Parkinson
- Impotencia sexual o disminución de la producción de testosterona
- Problemas de visión

Supporting Thousands On Their Wellness Path Every Day
Let customers speak for us
from 1056 reviewsI've been coming to the Apothecary for years for supplements that I read about and seek their advice on efficacy and best form of ingestion to get the True Value of some of the nutrients and minerals we may be lacking. The staff is always friendly and knowledgeable and explain the differences between Brands and formulations of supplements that, to an uninformed person, would look to be identical. I count on their advice and appreciate their expertise.
Trying It For the First Time It Work's Great So I Gave Some To My Neighbor And She Loves It So I Told Her Where She Can Buy It. I Ordered Another Bottle Of The Peppermint But You Don't Have It In Stock. LOVE IT.

I had a wonderful experience at Village Green Apothecary. Their staff is top notch in regards to both fund of knowledge and customer care. Gail, the owner, was extremely pleasant taking time to have a one on one conversation with me. Brian also showed himself to be extremely well read, passionate, and driven in this field. You won’t regret coming here for your health needs.

Organic Chamomile with Lavender
I've been using essential oil balms for aches and pains, and they definitely help but their smell is rather strong. Magsoothium cream, by contrast, has a mild, pleasant flowery smell. I use it when I go out and do find it effective for moderate pain. I also use it at bedtime on my calves, as the magnesium helps with leg cramps which often wake me up - and it might be helping me to sleep better as well! I first ordered the small size to test it out, but took advantage of a recent sale and ordered two of the large size.
I appreciate how Village Green supplies the order quickly and efficiently!
High quality goods, well-informed friendly staff, reasonable pricing and regular discounts. Feels old school and good to have a small shop that's so well stocked.
I have been ordering from Village Green Apothecary for years and can’t say enough about the staff’s expertise and all they have available for customers in guidance and support. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to Louis & Tatiana for their guidance, help & support for years. I am forever grateful! I also want to thank Brian, Kirsten, Kayla & the pharmacist for all their help. Another positive about Village Green is their rewards program, supplement sales which are often and especially their phenomenal semi-annual store wide sales. I have recommended Village Green Apothecary to all those I know!
agent was very helpful knowledgeable and kind
They're the best!!
