Mineral content of the hair reflects the mineral content of the body’s tissues. A mineral deficiency or excess in the hair, is proportional to a mineral deficiency or excess within the body. Therefore, human head hair is a recording filament that can reflect metabolic changes.
Tissue mineral analysis is unique in that it inexpensively provides information directly about cellular activity, which is the main site of nutritional metabolism. As important as vitamins are, they can do nothing for the body without proper mineral intake. Vitamins cannot function and are unable to be assimilated without the aid of minerals.
Hair Analysis - What the laboratory tests for:
Using state-of-the art equipment, the laboratory analyses the hair sample for a broad range of 40 essential, non-essential as well as toxic elements. The result provides the reader with a comprehensive overview of the nutrient and toxic mineral content of the hair sample provided.
