Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis
-
Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) is a non-invasive functional lab test that analyzes your mineral and heavy metal content from your hair.
-
Hair is one of the many types of tissues in the body where heavy minerals are deposited, it gives us the most recent data, about 3 months worth of information.
The mineral content in hair is 10x of blood, providing us with an insight into the metabolic process within our cells.
-
With this test, it may reveal your mineral imbalances that could be responsible for your symptoms.
-
Minerals are the “spark plugs” in our bodies that provide us with what we need in order for our bodies to function properly. Since minerals are the energy production for our body, they can tell us about:
Acute/chronic stress
Adrenal and thyroid health
Metabolic rate
Immune health
-
You will cut the first inch to one-half of the hair growth closest to the scalp of the nape of the neck.
This will not be noticeable and further instruction will be given to you during your virtual consultation.
