Nickel Urine Spot Test
Overview
Nickel is a chemical element that helps make stainless steel, batteries, and other products. Nickel is used to preserve metals by plating them, but its main use is in the creation of alloys, particularly stainless steel, because of its resistance to corrosion. Your body uses nickel in small amounts to help enzymes function properly.
