About the Lab

Quicksilver Scientific specializes in advanced mercury analysis using their patented methodology.

They are focused on promoting wellness through heavy metals testing and use of detoxification protocols, and the development of advanced supplements.

Quicksilver Scientific provides clinical metals diagnostic tests which use blood, urine, and hair to assess the amount, source, and the body’s elimination ability of mercury and screen for exposure and imbalances in patient blood samples. They also offer an at-home test that identifies and monitors metal levels and imbalances with a finger prick sample.

About Quicksilver Scientific

Established in 2005 in Louisville, Colorado by Dr. Christopher Shade, Ph.D. Quicksilver Scientific strives to adhere to its founder’s vision to “continue pushing the supplementation innovation-boundaries to bring you the highest quality, efficacious products possible for human optimization,” aiming for “dynamic science for dynamic living.”

Specialization in Mercury Analysis

Quicksilver Scientific is renowned for its advanced mercury analysis using patented methodologies that enhance the detection and understanding of mercury levels in the body. The company’s clinical metals diagnostic tests utilize blood, urine, and hair samples to assess the amount, source, and the body’s elimination capacity of mercury. 

Unlike common "Challenge Testing," it directly separates and measures both inorganic and methyl mercury, providing detailed information without the need for challenging substances that can cause metal redistribution. Additionally, the Blood Metals Panel in the Tri-Test screens for 16 elements, including nutrient and potentially toxic metals, offering insights into exposure and imbalances.  

Mission and Vision

The founder believes that “natural, radiant, and robust health is our birthright. 

It all started with my quest to solve my own health problem of mercury toxicity. I needed a way to increase absorption (bioavailability) of certain nutrients – in my case, glutathione. Typical delivery methods of glutathione rendered it ineffective as it was easily broken down in the GI tract. In looking for a way to bypass this issue, I came upon a promising delivery form – the liposome.

It is my vision to continue pushing the supplementation innovation-boundaries to bring you the highest quality, efficacious products possible for human optimization.”

Wellness and Detoxification Protocols

The focus of Quicksilver Scientific extends beyond testing to include the development of detoxification protocols and advanced supplements. Their products are designed to support the body’s natural detoxification processes, particularly in response to heavy metal exposure. 

This holistic approach not only addresses the removal of harmful substances but also promotes overall health and vitality through carefully formulated supplements that support critical body functions.

Support and Education for Practitioners

Understanding the complexities involved in heavy metal detoxification, Quicksilver Scientific supports healthcare practitioners. This includes at-home testing kits that allow for easy monitoring of metal levels with just a finger prick sample. 

Moreover, the company offers free consultations to practitioners, aiding in the interpretation of test results and guiding the development of effective treatment protocols.

Commitment to Quality and Innovation

Quicksilver Scientific’s dedication to “dynamic science for dynamic living” reflects their ongoing pursuit to improve human health.

Popular Tests Offered by Quicksilver Scientific

Quicksilver Scientific offers a range of advanced diagnostic tests that are critical for assessing exposure to toxic metals and evaluating nutrient levels. These tests are key components of their comprehensive approach to health and wellness, particularly in the context of their detoxification protocols. 

Mercury Tri-Test

The Mercury Tri-Test® is a specialized test that employs mercury speciation analysis to differentiate between inorganic mercury and methyl mercury in the body. 

Using samples from serum, hair, and urine, this test is the only clinical test that separates these forms of mercury, providing a detailed understanding of a patient’s mercury burden. 

The insights gained from the Mercury Tri-Test® are crucial for correlating mercury exposure with symptoms and crafting a precise detoxification plan tailored to the patient’s specific needs.

Blood Metals Panel

The Blood Metals Panel focuses on measuring 16 different nutrient and toxic elements in whole blood. This test is essential for assessing toxic metal exposure and identifying nutrient imbalances. 

The results from the Blood Metals Panel help practitioners to detect potential health risks associated with elevated metal levels and nutritional deficiencies, enabling them to recommend appropriate dietary adjustments or detoxification strategies.

Metals Combo Test

The Metals Combo Test combines the Blood Metals Panel with the Mercury Tri-Test® to provide a thorough analysis of toxic element exposure alongside nutrient element deficiencies. 

By analyzing samples from hair, whole blood, urine, and serum, the Metals Combo Test offers a detailed view of the levels of both inorganic and methyl mercury in the body, as well as other crucial elements.

 This wide-reaching analysis is invaluable for creating a holistic understanding of a patient’s heavy metal exposure and nutritional status, forming the basis for targeted detoxification and nutritional interventions.
