Heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, mercury, copper, chromium and arsenic are present in our environment from the food we eat, the air we breathe, certain medicines or dietary supplements we take, to various products we use in our daily lives. When microscopic molecules of heavy metals accumulate within our body’s cells, they cause our body’s systems or organs to function abnormally, resulting in an imbalance, a factor of infertility as well as some symptoms and diseases that could be life-threatening.
