No matter how clean and green you live your life, we are all different, including how effectively we detoxify. In Hong Kong we are exposed to toxins every single day. They’re lurking everywhere. In the air we breathe and the water and foods we consume. In skincare products, household cleaning products, household furnishings and more.
Toxins can cause or exacerbate an extensive list of health issues like digestive challenges, skin conditions, fatigue, infertility, behavioural and learning challenges, dementia and Parkinson’s Disease.
Our industry-leading tests are proven to track down and measure toxins that are hiding in your body and hindering your health and wellbeing.
OMX Organic Metabolomics assesses how well your body is processing substances – and can identify deviations that underly or precede disease.
This test analyses organic and amino acids; protein metabolism; nutritional status; stress & mood; microbial metabolites; mitochondrial health and the impacts of toxins.
This test reveals your unique metabolic signature so we can personalise your treatment plan to your biology.
This is a urine test by Diagnostic Solutions Laboratory.
Cost: HK$3650
This profile creates a full picture of your oxidative stress levels by analysing total and reduced glutathione levels, alongside F2-isoprostane, and 8-OH-2deoxyguanosine.
Oxidative stress is a key factor in aging and chronic illness, and poor organ health.
This is a blood and urine test by Precision Point Diagnostics via Pathlab.
Cost: HK$ 4500
Check your total glutathione levels to assess if you have a sufficient level of the ‘master antioxidant’ in your body.
Glutathione is key for anti-aging, protection against pollutants, immunity and reducing oxidative stress and fatigue.
This is a blood test by Govita.
Cost: HK$1350
This test measures levels of NAD+, a coenzyme found in all of our cells. NAD+ levels decline with age. This test gives a good gauge of how fast you’re aging.
Inadequate levels of NAD+ contributes to higher levels of oxidative stress, leading to faster aging, and lower energy levels.

Cost: HK$1500
Test for eleven different mycotoxins from 40 species of mould.
Mycotoxins are released by mould (fungi), which can grow on almost any surface. Some of the most prevalent toxins lurk in our homes, schools and offices. Diseases and symptoms linked to mould exposure include allergic rhinitis and asthma, skin rashes, sinusitis, asthma, raised liver enzymes, headaches and fatigue.
Genetically some people are more prone to the toxic effects of mould. They may develop chronic fatigue, muscle pain, sharp stabbing pains, depression, excessive thirst and increased urination, and an odd tendency to experience static shocks.
If you are more sensitive to mould, you may also experience sweats and temperature regulation problems, mental fatigue, memory issues, mood swings, aches and muscle cramps, light sensitivity, numbness and tingling. Some people develop chronic fungal growth in the sinuses or lungs, which do not respond to antibiotics.
This one morning-urine sample can provide important insight into the cause of your health conditions.
Cost: HK$3800
Screen for the presence of 172 different toxic non-metal chemicals found in products like pharmaceuticals, pesticides, packaged foods, household products, and environmental pollution with this simple morning-urine test.
These toxins have been linked to chronic illnesses like cancer, heart disease, chronic fatigue syndrome, autism spectrum disorders, ADD/ADHD, autoimmune disorders, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, allergies and more.
This test identifies the presence of organophosphate pesticides, plastic phthalates, benzene from petroleum pollution, xylene and vinyl chloride, pyrethroid insecticides, acrylamide, perchlorate, diphenyl phosphate, ethylene oxide, and acrylonitrile. It also indicates damage to the mitochondria (cell energy production organelles) by measuring Tiglylglycine.
In the same urine sample, we can measure the presence of glyphosate – the world’s most widely produced herbicide linked to chronic health problems including metabolic disorder, diabetes, depression, autism, cardiovascular disease, autoimmune disease and cancers.
Cost: HK$4150
Sample Report: GPL-TOX Profile | Glyphosate
This highly recommended urine test provides a comprehensive snapshot of your metabolism. It tests for certain acids that bacteria and yeast can produce, as well as organic acid wastes from your metabolism and brain neurotransmitters. Abnormal acid levels indicate metabolic and gut imbalances, which can contribute to health challenges like behaviour disorders, hyperactivity, anxiety, depression, fatigue and immune dysfunction.
The test also reports some mycotoxins and Candida yeast levels as well as vitamin and mineral levels - indications of neurotransmitter levels which are otherwise hard to gauge. It can reveal oxidative stress, glutathione sufficiency, toxic effects on the mitochondria and of any oxalates - all of which are linked to multiple chronic illnesses, and so many more markers.
The OAT test can be combined with the GPL Mycotox and/or GPL TOX at a reduced package price to provide comprehensive insight into fatigue, mental disorders and toxic exposure.
Cost: HK$3350
Analyse your red blood cells (RBC) to determine the status of vitamins and minerals in your system. With a small blood sample, we can test for deficiencies or excesses of elements that are of high importance to cell function, including calcium, magnesium, potassium, selenium, copper, zinc, phosphorus, manganese, iron, boron, and molybdenum.
These imbalances can lead to a range of health issues like anaemia, cardiovascular disease, impaired glucose tolerance, immune function challenges, inflammation, gastrointestinal symptoms and more.
RBC element analysis is also useful for assessing ongoing or very recent exposure to specific toxic elements like arsenic, cadmium, lead, methylmercury and thallium that tend to accumulate in red blood cells. Do keep in mind that elevated levels of the toxic elements in these cells reflect recent or ongoing exposure and do not provide information about the net retention of the metals in the body.
What makes this test stand out from many other red blood cells element tests is the fact that the cells are not washed. Your results will not be skewed by the partial loss of important elements that bind to the plasma membrane.
Cost: HK$3850
Evaluate your body’s accumulation and excretion of toxic metals. While acute metal poisoning is rare, chronic low-level exposure to toxic metals can cause significant retention in your body. These toxic heavy metals are linked to adverse health effects and chronic disease including alopecia, bone density, cardiovascular disease, depression, fatigue, gastrointestinal symptoms, hypertension and nutritional deficiencies. For children, common effects include reduced mental performance or ADHD.
To evaluate net retention, your IMI practitioner will compare the levels of metals in your urine before and after the administration of a chelating metal detoxification agent. This sequesters "hidden" metals from deep tissue stores and mobilizes the metals to your kidneys for excretion in the urine.
At the same time, we can gauge your nutritional status and the efficacy of mineral supplementation during metal detoxification therapy. Some types of heavy metal detoxification agents (chelation agents) can significantly increase the excretion of specific nutrient elements such as zinc, copper, manganese and molybdenum, so are best to be monitored.
Cost:
Post-provocation only - HK$1550
Add Essential Elements (minerals) - HK$1950
Pre and post-provocation with essential mineral elements - HK$2945
Test for abnormal levels of urinary poryphins (oxidised metabolites of heme biosynthesis) linked to anaemia, autism, genetic disorders, oxidative stress and high-level exposure to toxic metals and some pollutants. This non-invasive test requires a single first morning void or 24-hour urine collection.
Cost: HK$2060
Assess your dietary and oral exposure to potentially toxic metals with this comprehensive stool test. This test evaluates levels of thallium and gadolinium which are of increasing potential concern, plus 14 other potentially toxic elements including mercury exposure from dental amalgams.
Cost: HK$1980
Measure your neurotransmitter levels with this simple, yet comprehensive urine test.
Imbalanced levels of neurotransmitters - chemical messengers used by the nervous system to relay information from one nerve to another - can cause the brain and the body to be over- or under-stimulated, producing neurological or psychological symptoms. These include anxiety and depression, chronic fatigue, impulsivity, insomnia, PMS or PMDD (pre-menstrual dysphoric disorder).
Cost: HK$3250

代謝功能評估
無論您的生活習慣有多麼注意和潔淨，因為我們身體的差異，我們排毒的效率也有所不同。在香港，我們每天都會接觸到對身體有害的元素（例如環毒）。它們隱藏在我們呼吸的空氣中、在我們飲用的水和食物中、在護膚品、家庭清潔用品、家居用品等方面。
環毒可以導致或加重已有的疾病，如消化系統的不適、皮膚病、疲勞綜合症、不孕不育、學習和行為障礙、失憶和帕金森症。
在IMI，我們運用尖端的檢測查出隱藏在您身體裡阻礙您身體健康的因素。我們的自然醫學醫生在查找引起您的健康狀況的真正原因後，幫您制定一個適合您的計劃，幫助您排除有害毒素，恢復健康。
這個檢測覆蓋11種黴菌和其40種黴菌代謝物（黴菌毒素）。
黴菌毒素是由黴菌孢子釋放的，而且黴菌可以在任何表面上生存。您知道嗎，原來一些最普遍的黴菌就潛伏在我們的家、學校、和辦公室裡。與黴菌接觸有關的常見的疾病和臨床症狀包括過敏性鼻炎和哮喘、皮疹、鼻竇炎、哮喘、肝酶升高、頭痛和疲勞。
從遺傳學角度看，有些人更容易受到黴菌孢子和其有毒代謝物（黴菌毒素）的侵害。日積月累，這些人會呈現出疲倦、肌肉疼痛、（神經性的）刺痛、情緒抑鬱、異常口渴、和小便頻繁，以及常有靜電反應的症狀。
如果您對黴菌比較敏感，還可能出現盜汗和體溫問題、精神疲勞、記憶方面的問題、情緒波動、疼痛和肌肉痙攣、對光敏感、麻木和刺痛。有些人在鼻竇或肺部還出現慢性真菌生長，而且有抗生素由耐藥性。
這個簡單易操作的晨尿檢測可以為您和您的健康提供重要的線索。
費用：HK$3800
通過這個簡單的晨尿檢測，可以篩選出172種不同的有毒非金屬化學物質，這些有害化學物質存在於藥品、殺蟲劑、包裝食品、家用產品和環境污染等產品中。
這些有害化學物質與癌症、心髒病、慢性疲勞綜合徵、自閉症、注意力不集中/多動症、自身免疫性疾病、帕金森病、阿爾茨海默病、過敏等慢病有關。
這個測試可以識別有機磷農藥、塑料鄰苯二甲酸鹽、石油污染中的苯、二甲苯和氯乙烯、擬除蟲菊酯殺蟲劑、丙烯酰胺、高氯酸鹽、磷酸二苯酯、環氧乙烷和丙烯腈的存在。它還顯示線粒體（細胞能量生產細胞器）的損傷。
在同一個尿檢樣本中，我們可以測量體內代謝的草甘膦（glyphosate）的含量--這是世界上生產中用的最廣泛的除草劑。它與慢性病有密切關聯，例如內分泌代謝紊亂、二型糖尿病、抑鬱症、自閉症、心血管疾病、自身免疫系統疾病和癌症。
費用：HK$4150
極力推薦這組尿液測試，它可以提供全方位的新陳代謝的情況，好比對您現在身體代謝的情況拍一個快照。測試項目包括體內細菌和酵母代謝產生的有機酸，以及來自您的新陳代謝和大腦神經遞質的有機酸廢物。非正常水平的有機酸代謝代表細胞新陳代謝和腸道代謝的失衡。這可能導致一系列亞健康的問題，如行為障礙、多動症、焦慮症、抑鬱症、乏力和免疫功能紊亂。
該測試還可以檢查黴菌毒素和念珠菌酵母，以及維生素和礦物質的水平。此檢測可以查出細胞氧化應激水平、體內穀胱甘肽的量是否充足，有害物質對線粒體的影響和草酸鹽的水平--所有這些還有一些更多的指標都與多種慢性疾病有關。
我們有不同的套餐組合，如OAT測試與GPL黴菌毒素和/或GPL TOX一起測試，和套餐優惠價。希望通過此檢測幫助您對疲乏、精神障礙和有害物質的代謝有更全面和更深度的了解。
費用：HK$3350
此檢測評估您的身體對有毒重金屬的積累和排泄的情況。雖然急性重金屬中毒很罕見，但不排除因長期暴露於低量的有毒重金屬導致體內有毒重金屬累積（含量超標的情況）。這些重金屬和慢性疾病有密切關聯，例如禿髮、骨密度流失、心血管疾病、抑鬱症、疲勞、腸胃不適、高血壓和（微量元素的）營養失衡。對於兒童來說，常見的影響包括智力下降或（和）多動症。
您的IMI問診醫生會對您服用螯合金屬解毒劑之前和之後尿液中的金屬水平做比較。這樣子就可以間接的檢查到體內細胞中 "隱藏 "的金屬的水平，及可以通過腎臟在尿液中排泄出來的有毒重金屬的總量。
同時，這個檢測也可幫助您在金屬解毒治療期間衡量您的營養狀況和礦物質平衡做監測。此檢測可以預防治療期間因為重金屬排毒劑（螯合劑）的使用導致微量元素，如鋅、銅、錳和鉬的過量排泄。
根據您的檢測結果，您的IMI醫生會安排您進行靜脈注射或口服EDTA的螯合排重金屬的治療。如果發現檢測的重金屬含量適中，您也適用較柔緩的金屬排毒治療，如抗氧化劑、鋅、小球藻和其他天然複合提取物的方式。通常一切正常的情況下，您可以期望在3-6個月後感受到精神和身體健康的改善。
