Every day, we unknowingly consume microplastics—tiny plastic particles smaller than 5mm—through our food, water, and even the air we breathe. Research suggests the average person may ingest approximately a credit card’s worth of plastic each week. This silent invasion of synthetic materials has become an unavoidable aspect of modern life, with potential implications for our long-term wellness that are only beginning to be understood.
Our professional-grade microplastic testing provides detailed insights into your water quality that typical water tests simply don’t cover. Unlike basic water quality assessments, our specialized testing identifies:
Each polymer type carries different potential concerns. For example, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) particles may have different implications than polypropylene fragments. Understanding exactly which polymers exist in your water allows for more targeted solutions.
Our concentration analysis doesn’t just tell you if microplastics are present—it quantifies exactly how many particles exist per liter of water, giving you a clear picture of your exposure level. This precision allows you to track improvements after implementing filtration solutions.
Each test utilizes advanced laboratory techniques including Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and microscopy analysis to detect particles as small as 1 micron—thousands of times smaller than what the human eye can see. These sophisticated methods ensure you receive accurate, comprehensive information about your water quality.
Our streamlined testing process makes identifying microplastics in your water simple and convenient:
Sample Collection Kit: We provide everything needed to collect water samples properly, including specialized containers that prevent contamination during the collection process. Clear instructions ensure your samples accurately represent your daily water exposure.
Professional Analysis: Your samples undergo rigorous laboratory testing using multiple analytical methods to ensure comprehensive detection. Our partnership with specialized environmental laboratories ensures reliable, accurate results.
Comprehensive Report: Receive detailed findings about microplastic types and concentrations in an easy-to-understand format. Your report includes visual representations of the particles found and contextual information about what your results mean.
Personalized Consultation: Discuss your results with our nutrition specialists who understand how environmental factors influence overall wellness. This conversation helps translate technical findings into practical understanding.
Customized Solutions: Get tailored recommendations for reducing exposure based on your specific results. These might include filtration systems, lifestyle adjustments, and nutritional support strategies.
When it comes to environmental toxin testing, expertise matters. As specialists in digestive health and environmental wellness, we bring a unique perspective to microplastic testing:

Science-Based Solutions: All recommendations are grounded in current research on environmental contaminants and their potential health impacts. We continuously update our knowledge as new studies emerge in this rapidly evolving field.
Personalized Support: Individualized guidance based on your specific test results ensures you’re not implementing generic solutions that may not address your particular situation. Your water profile is unique, and your approach to addressing it should be too.
Ongoing Partnership: Continued support as you implement exposure-reduction strategies helps ensure long-term success. We’re available to answer questions, suggest adjustments, and provide encouragement throughout your journey.
Our Lafayette, Colorado-based team serves clients nationwide, providing accessible testing solutions regardless of your location. We’ve helped hundreds of clients identify and address environmental contaminants that may be impacting their health, resulting in reports of improved energy, mental clarity, and digestive comfort.
The growing body of research on microplastics suggests these particles may impact wellbeing in several ways:
For those focused on optimizing their health, addressing microplastic exposure represents a critical yet often overlooked component of wellness. Many clients report improved digestive comfort, enhanced mental clarity, and better sleep quality after implementing strategies to reduce microplastic exposure.
Environmental resilience—your body’s ability to maintain balance despite environmental challenges—may be supported by minimizing unnecessary exposures to synthetic particles. Our testing service bridges this gap, providing essential information about a significant environmental health factor.
Understanding your exposure is the first step toward protection. After identifying microplastic contamination through our testing service, we’ll help you implement effective solutions:
Based on your specific test results, we’ll recommend appropriate filtration systems:
Different microplastic profiles require different filtration approaches. For example, if your water contains primarily larger fragments, mechanical filtration might be sufficient. However, if your sample shows nanoplastics (extremely small particles), more advanced systems may be necessary. Our recommendations consider both effectiveness and practicality for your lifestyle.
Simple changes can significantly reduce your overall exposure:
These practical adjustments complement your water filtration strategy, creating a comprehensive approach to reducing overall microplastic exposure. Many clients find these changes straightforward to implement once they understand their importance.
Our nutrition specialists can recommend targeted nutritional protocols to:

Shipping is available nationwide, making our professional testing accessible regardless of your location. Don’t wait to discover what’s really in your water—your health deserves this essential information.
The testing process uses non-invasive sample collection methods that can be completed in the privacy of your home. Our kit includes detailed instructions and all necessary materials for collecting and preserving your samples, which are then shipped to our specialized laboratory using prepaid packaging.
Most clients receive their comprehensive testing results within 2-3 weeks after their samples arrive at our laboratory. Once your results are ready, our certified natural health provider will schedule a detailed review session to explain your findings and discuss personalized next steps.
Absolutely! Complete Nutrition Alliance serves clients nationwide through our remote testing program. We’ll ship your testing kit directly to your home address anywhere in the United States, and consultations can be conducted via secure telehealth platforms.
Our testing goes beyond simply identifying the presence of microplastics—we provide quantitative analysis of specific plastic compounds and their concentrations. More importantly, we integrate these findings with personalized nutritional guidance from certified digestive health specialists rather than leaving you to interpret results on your own.
While most insurance plans do not currently cover microplastic testing, we offer flexible payment options to make this valuable health information accessible. Many clients use HSA or FSA funds for testing, and we provide detailed receipts for potential reimbursement or tax purposes.
