Tests the presence of ions of Cadmium to a high degree of accuracy to detect contamination in the body and on a wide range of materials in your environment

Cadmium levels in humans tend to increase with age, usually peaking at around age 50 and then levelling off. No cadmium is present in newborns. Interestingly, cadmium does not cross the placenta-fetal barrier nor the blood-brain barrier as lead and mercury do, so it is not toxic to fetuses, nor does it cause the mental and brain symptoms of lead and mercury

Cadmium is not very well absorbed, with a rate of about 20 percent, but this is still a higher rate than that of other minerals. Cadmium is not particularly well eliminated by the body, mainly through feces and urine. This mineral is stored primarily in the liver and kidneys. Cadmium like zinc is also stored in the testes in higher concentrations than in other tissues. Cadmium accumulation in the kidneys (with aging) may cause hypertension.
