Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) is a comprehensive test that provides the right information to help us get to the root of chronic disease.

Other lab tests can provide very valuable information such as what foods we are allergic to, the state of our gut, if we have infections, or if our hormone levels are up to par.

With HTMA, we have something extremely powerful.

from one strand of hair, we can tell if you are pre-diabetic, depressed, if your immune system is compromised, or if you have too much aluminium in your system that is impacting your brain health.

HTMA uses a small hair sample to get up to 3 months of information on the status of your mineral ratios and heavy metal toxicity which gives us insight into what is throwing the body off-balance.

The hair is the ideal testing mechanism because it shows a cumulative pattern of health information that is safe and non-invasive in nature.

It reveals health data far more detailed than a blood or a urine test.

Data on more than 35 minerals is analysed as well as 25 important mineral ratios that dictate your health.

What does a Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis reveal?



• Mineral deficiencies and imbalances
• Level of exhaustion present in the body (adrenal fatigue)
• Psychological imbalances (i.e., depression, anxiety, ADD)
• Heavy metal toxicity
• Metabolic rate (slow& fast)
• Thyroid function
• Nervous system imbalances
• Energy levels
• Protein synthesis
• Liver & Kidney stress
• Tendency towards inflammation
• Carbohydrate tolerance
• Blood sugar imbalances (i.e., diabetes, insulin resistance)
  

What does a HTMA Test For?

Nutritional Elements

Minerals are essential to health. They are the building blocks of life. Your body cannot make substances like proteins, hormones, antibodies, digestive juices, and acids without them. Each nutritional mineral is essential for health and incorporated into molecules and compounds needed to keep our body functioning. A Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis will test for the following nutritional elements:

CALCIUM

MAGNESIUM

SODIUM

POTASSIUM

COPPER

ZINC

PHOSPHORUS

BORON (Available at additional cost)

IRON

MANGANESE

CHROMIUM

SELENIUM

COBALT

MOLYBDENUM

SULPHUR

Additional Elements

Your Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis also tests for 14 additional elements. Research suggests they are involved in digestive function, mood, kidney health, insulin sensitivity, skin health, antibacterial function, and the metabolism of other minerals. Although there is less research for these elements, high levels still indicate potential toxicity and may interfere with nutritional elements and so act like toxic elements. And many additional elements are found in the manufacturing industry or in certain trades.

GERMANIUM

BARIUM

BISMUTH

RUBIDIUM

LITHIUM

NICKEL

PLATINUM

THALLIUM

VANADIUM

STRONTIUM

TIN

TITANIUM

TUNGSTEN

ZIRCONIUM

Toxic Elements

Toxic Elements do not belong in the body as they have no known biological function. These will impact the absorption, retention, utilisation, and metabolic function of nutritional elements. These elements are antagonistic to nutritional elements and will displace them.

URANIUM

ARSENIC

BERYLLIUM

MERCURY

CADMIUM

LEAD

ALUMINIUM

ANTIMONY (Available at additional cost)
