Environmental Pollutants Profile (EPP) (Detect Harmful Chemical Exposures From Daily Environments And Products)

· Those in Tokyo looking for comprehensive tests to detect hidden environmental toxins.
· Those with unexplained symptoms such as fatigue, allergies, or hormone issues.
· Those with bloating and indigestion.
· Those who want to support liver and kidney detoxification.
· Those who wish to improve overall well-being.

Environmental Pollutants Profile (EPP) is a non-invasive laboratory test designed to assess the presence and levels of certain harmful environmental toxins in the body. These toxins often come from daily exposure to common substances such as cosmetics, plastics, industrial chemicals, solvents, and preservatives. Modern urban environments, especially densely populated and industrialized cities can contribute to continuous low-level exposure to these pollutants through air, water, food, and contact with consumer products.

Environmental Pollutants Profile (EPP) works by analyzing specific metabolites excreted in the urine, which are byproducts of toxic substances the body has processed. This provides a measurable insight into the total toxic burden affecting biological function. Among the key compounds detected are phthalates, parabens, and aromatic solvents such as benzene, xylene, and styrene, all of which are known to disrupt hormonal balance, impaired neurological function, and contribute to inflammation. By identifying these substances and their levels, the test offers valuable data for developing targeted detoxification strategies and lifestyle modifications aimed at reducing future exposure and supporting overall wellness.

Environmental Pollutants Profile (EPP) begins with the collection of a first-morning urine sample, ideally taken immediately after waking or following a long, uninterrupted sleep. This specific timing helps capture concentrated levels of excreted metabolites for more accurate analysis. The urine is collected using a special “Dip'N Dry” strip, a convenient and stable method that allows for easy handling and transport without the need for refrigeration. Once dried, the strip is sent to a laboratory for analysis. The laboratory measures the levels of key toxic compounds such as xylene, toluene, benzene, trimethylbenzene, styrene, parabens, and metabolites of phthalates. These substances are commonly found in cosmetics, plastics, fuels, industrial chemicals, and consumer products. The results provide a snapshot of the toxic burden present in the body and can help guide personalized detoxification and lifestyle adjustments. Test results are typically available within four weeks from the time the sample reaches the laboratory.

1. Consultation will be conducted with the doctor.
2. Urine samples will be taken.
3. The sample will be sent to the laboratory.
4. The sample will be analyzed.
5. Follow-up consultation will be scheduled by the doctor for results analysis.

<Limitations>
· Results can be influenced by recent use of certain medications, supplements, or alcohol

· Avoid excessive fluid intake especially water for at least 12 hours before test
· Avoid using strong personal care products such as perfume, lotions, or deodorants on the day of urine sample collection
· Refrain from exposure to chemicals such as cleaning agents and cosmetic sprays for 2 to 3 days before test

Q1: What kind of samples are needed for Environmental Pollutants Profile (EPP)?
A1: A first-morning urine sample is needed for Environmental Pollutants Profile (EPP) and will be collected using a special “Dip’N Dry” strip, which is then air-dried and sent to the laboratory.

Q2: How long does it take to get the results of Environmental Pollutants Profile (EPP)?
A2: The results are typically available at our affiliated clinic within 4 weeks.

Q3: Does Environmental Pollutants Profile (EPP) diagnose a disease?
A3: No, Environmental Pollutants Profile (EPP) does not diagnose disease. It identifies levels of chemical exposure that may contribute to various health conditions.

Q4: Can Environmental Pollutants Profile (EPP) help with fertility planning?
A4: Yes, Environmental Pollutants Profile (EPP) can be useful for identifying toxins that may impact reproductive health and is often recommended before pregnancy or IVF.

Q5: Is fasting required before taking Environmental Pollutants Profile (EPP)?
A5: No, fasting is not required before taking Environmental Pollutants Profile (EPP), but the urine sample must be taken immediately after waking for best results.
