As we all know, hair is an important part of our aesthetic appearance but what many of us do not know is that hair also offers key information about bodily tissue biochemistry. Human hair is made up of protein, minerals and heavy metals. That is why it is the best tissue to use when investigating the mineral concentration and heavy metal presence in the body. To get the information, you can perform a non-invasive test called a Hair Mineral Analysis Test. Let’s find out how to do this.

What Is a Hair Mineral Analysis Test?

The Hair Mineral Analysis Test is a reliable way to look into the levels of minerals and heavy metals in the body. Our hair is an excretory tissue, and it offers a stable picture, unlike blood and other fluids. Blood and other body fluids do not give accurate results because they are in constant movement, therefore cannot be utilized to offer a true clinical picture.

Minerals play an important role in our health, and their concentration and balance in ratio with each other impact our overall wellbeing. Often, in clinical practice, I observe mineral imbalances in 99% of my clients.

As I mentioned in the previous paragraph, the ratio is of crucial importance to one’s health, because all elements compete for absorption, and a high presence of an element, for example, copper will drastically reduce the absorption of zinc. Often, I observe copper toxicity and low zinc levels, which are present, especially in people with low immunity, unstable moods and digestive issues.

Unfortunately, heavy metals are part of our daily lives, and they play a big role in worsening our health. Heavy metals are considered one of the root causes of diseases, and to address it, as a first step, you need to find out their levels in the body. To do this you need to perform the Hair Mineral Analysis Test. Furthermore, you can work with a professional, like myself, to address heavy metal toxicity.
