Hair Mineral Analysis

Hair contains all the minerals in the body including nutrition minerals and possible toxic heavy metals. Hair Mineral Analysis is a laboratory test that measures the mineral content within the hair. The test results reflect how much of these elements are in the tissues. With this information numerous metabolic events can be interpreted. We can also learn much about how efficiently the body is working. Moreover the nutritional status of the patient can be assessed to determine if there is an excess, deficiency or an imbalance in the ratios between specific minerals. The information from this test is used to formulate a nutritional program tailor-made to your unique biochemical needs.
