Hair Mineral Analysis

Hair mineral analysis is unique in that it is non-invasive and an inexpensive way to give information directly about cellular activity—the main site of nutritional metabolism. It indicates the nutritional content of the body’s tissue and toxic heavy metals.

Procedure:

About 0.5g of hair cut close to the scalp from the back of the head, or nape of the neck is required (about 1 heaped tablespoon full). It is helpful if our special hair mineral analysis request for is sent with the hair sample.

The followiong trace and toxic metals are measured:

Ca, Mg, P, Na, K, Fe, Cu, Zn, Cr, Mn, Se, Ni, Co, Pb, Hg, Cd, As, Al

Note: This profile is a screening test only.  Abnormalities should be confirmed with appropriate blood or urine tests.
