The faecal mineral and metal analysis reflects the dietary mineral and metal intake. Minerals and potentially toxic metals may be found in the items we consume such as food, beverages, medications and nutritional supplements. Whatever metals are not absorbed are excreted via various pathways, including the hepato-intestinal system, and for certain elements such as antimony and uranium, biliary excretion into faeces is the primary route of natural excretion from the body.
