High urinary levels of BPA indicate recent exposure to plastics that released excessive amounts of BPA in to food or beverages consumed in the past 24-48 hr.

High BPA levels have been associated with increased risks for many different health issues, including diabetes, breast cancer, and prostate cancer. When BPA levels are elevated, identification of its source and reducing exposure is worth considering.

A low BPA level suggests that the individual has had limited contact with BPA-containing products, which is generally considered positive for health as it reduces potential exposure to this endocrine-disrupting chemical.

Lower BPA exposure is associated with a decreased risk of potential health issues linked to BPA, such as hormone disruption, cardiovascular problems, and diabetes.

It is particularly important for pregnant women, infants, and young children to have low BPA levels since they are more vulnerable to the adverse effects of BPA exposure.

BPA is an endocrine disrupting chemical (EDC) derived from plastics used for making bottles, wraps for foods, and linings for food cans. BPA is not retained in the body for a prolonged period o f time and is rapidly excreted into urine.

BPA acts as an EDC by binding to a activating both membrane and nuclear estrogen receptors in a manner similar to estradiol. Thus by mimicking the actions of endogenous estrogens, high levels of BPA can contribute to symptoms of estrogen dominance.

"Living across several countries made keeping my lab results organized a real challenge. Healthmatters brought my results from the USA, Spain, and Germany together — 20 years of history, with long-term trends instead of scattered reports."

"Standard lab ranges are too wide for how I practice — 'normal' isn't optimal. I set my own bands, so a client sees yellow before a marker goes officially out of range. That's the conversation I want to be having."
