HAIR TISSUE MINERAL ANALYSIS

Hair Analysis (HTMA)

What is Hair Analysis or Hair Tissue  Mineral Analysis?


A Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) is a valuable non-invasive pathology test that examines the mineral composition of hair, enabling the design of a personalized program for diet and supplementation tailored to each individual's specific needs.


This test gives a detailed picture of your body's metabolism with a lot of precision. By analyzing the levels and proportions of various nutrients and harmful minerals in your hair, it helps understand your body's mineral balance.

When we examine the mineral content in hair, it mirrors what's in your body's tissues. So, if there's too little or too much of a mineral in your hair, it often means there's a corresponding issue in your body, like not having enough or having too much of that mineral, or problems with how your body absorbs it.

Why Test For Minerals?


Minerals are the “sparkplugs” of life. They are involved in almost all enzyme reactions within the body. Without enzyme activity, life ceases to exist.


A trace mineral analysis is preventative healthcare as well as being useful as a screening tool for current disease conditions.
