Test Overview
Clinical Utility
Glyphosate is non-herbicide commonly found on produce and is used in common consumer weed killers such as ROUNDUP and WEEDOFF. Although glyphosate is widely used in the United States it can have devastating effects on human health with symptoms ranging from dizziness, headaches, drowsiness, mouth and throat irritation, abdominal cramping, diarrhea, hormone imbalances, coma, cancer and more. This test identifies the level of toxic glyphosate a person has experienced or is experiencing through a single urine collection.
