Hair Mineral Analysis

Uncover what is going on inside your body on a cellular level by getting a Hair Tissue Mineral Test and the interpretative analysis that will inform your lifestyle actions. 

Your informational Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) will be done by Trace Elements Inc. TEI is the best lab for HTMA based on their procedures (e.g. not washing your hair sample because minerals leave in the wash water). Your hair will be tested for the following:

• 15 Essential Minerals: Calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, copper, zinc, phosphorus, iron, manganese, chromium, selenium, boron, cobalt, molybdenum, and sulfur
• 8 Toxic Heavy Metal Elements: Antimony, uranium, arsenic, beryllium, mercury, cadmium, lead and aluminum
• 15 Additional Elements: Germanium, barium, bismuth, rubidium, lithium, nickel, platinum, thallium, vanadium, strontium, tin, titanium, tungsten and zirconium

The absolute amount of each mineral is important (not too high, not too low!) but even more useful is the ratios between different minerals that characterize the following body functions:

• Adrenal Health/Stress
• Thyroid/Power
• Nervous System Balance
• Hormone and Energy Regulation
• Blood Sugar/Metabolism
• Immune System Balance
• Copper Dysregulation

Please keep in mind that HTMA is an informational test, not a diagnostic one. No illness or medical conditions will be determined.

My suggestion is that you test once, make lifestyle changes, and then test again after several months of the new changes in order to see your progress towards wellness.
