Urine testing is the most accurate, reliable, and valid test method for measuring antimony levels in the body. Hair testing is not a validated method for heavy metals testing (which includes antimony), and is not recommended by the American Medical Association (AMA) or CDC’s sister agency, the Agency for Toxic Substances and Diseases Registry.
