Groundbreaking Study Reveals Presence of Toxic Metals in Tampons: Body Fabulous Offers Solution

A groundbreaking study has unveiled alarming concentrations of toxic metals in tampons sold across the United States and Europe. This pioneering research, the first to measure metal presence in tampons, raises significant health concerns for the millions of individuals who use these products regularly.

The study by Science Direct detected “measurable concentrations” of all 16 metals they were looking for in the tampons, as well as “elevated mean concentrations” of toxic metals including lead, arsenic and cadmium.

Body Fabulous Health Clinic offers a comprehensive Toxic Metal Urine Screen Test with essential elements, provided by Doctors Data USA, for £175.00.

This test, which includes advice, interpretation, and support from Body Fabulous' functional medicine team, screens for a range of toxic metals and essential elements.

The test screens for a range of toxic metals including aluminium, antimony, arsenic, barium, beryllium, bismuth, cadmium, caesium, gadolinium, lead, mercury, nickel, palladium, platinum, tellurium, thallium, thorium, tin, tungsten, and uranium.

Hannah, senior nutritionist at Body Fabulous Health Clinic said: “Our mission is to empower individuals to take control of their health. The findings of this study are truly alarming, highlighting the potential risks of toxic metal exposure from everyday products like tampons. We are committed to raising awareness and providing the tools necessary for people to monitor their metal levels and make informed decisions to improve their overall well-being.

“Heavy metal toxins, such as lead, mercury, cadmium, and arsenic, are environmental toxins that can accumulate in the body over time, posing significant health risks including neurological damage, reproductive issues, and organ dysfunction.

“We are constantly exposed to these toxins in our daily lives and recent investigations into menstrual products have raised concerns about potential exposure to them through tampons, pads, and menstrual cups.

“This is particularly worrying due to the prolonged contact with the mucous membrane of the vagina, meaning these toxins can be absorbed, increasing the risk of systemic toxicity.”
