Hair mineral analysis test
Hair mineral analysis test, assess the body's mineral and toxin levels, the hair mineral analysis testing can check for even the smallest amounts of toxins, heavy metals, trace elements and determine vitamin deficiency.
Based on the hair mineral test, nutritional and therapeutic measures can be recommended to correct the imbalances and aid the removal of toxins from the body after hair testing.
- The results from hair mineral testing are displayed in an easy to read graph
- Detailed dietary and supplement recommendations of nutritional deficiencies
- A patient and practitioner report of your human hair mineral profile
We will send your hair mineral analysis kit and a letter with instructions for collecting a hair sample and a prepaid envelope (UK Free Post). Simply fill in your details and pop it in the post.
What you can expect from your hair analysis test
The hair analysis for toxins checks for the presence of nutrient minerals, other additional minerals, and toxic metals such as lead and mercury, toxic metals can build up in your system due to exposure in the environment and can be found in some pharmaceutical drugs.
Your hair mineral analysis profile will provide data on significant ratios of minerals present. The report will discuss your metabolic profile and provide dietary suggestions.
Human hair mineral profile nutrient mineral analysis
Your hair mineral analysis test will show levels of nutrient minerals found in the analysis, they are considered essential for many biological functions and play key roles in metabolic functions, such as -
- Muscular activity
- Endocrine function
- Reproduction
- Skeletal integrity
Hair testing for vitamins and minerals
- Calcium
- Magnesium
- Sodium
- Potassium
- Zinc
Phosphorous
- Iron
- Manganese
- Chromium
- Selenium
- Boron
- Cobalt
- Molybdenum
- Sulphur
The hair analysis test also includes checks for additional Minerals
The hair analysis testing test also checks for additional minerals present which are considered essential for the human body. Further studies are being conducted to further define their biological and nutritional roles.
Other additional minerals checked for in the hair analysis test
- Germanium
- Barium
- Bismuth
- Rubidium
- Lithium
- Nickel
- Platinum
- Thallium
- Iodine
- Vanadium
- Strontium
- Tin
- Titanium
- Tungsten
- Zirconium
Test your hair for toxic metals
Toxic metals are commonly found in the environment and are therefore present in all biological systems, ideally these levels should be as low as possible.
Every person is exposed to toxic metals to some degree, the retention of these toxic metals, however, is dependent upon the body in relation to the other substances present.
As an example, the accumulation of lead will have a more detrimental effect upon body chemistry when sufficient levels of calcium and iron are not available.
By examining the toxic metal levels from your hair analysis in relation to the protective minerals, the extent to which the heavy metals may be involved in abnormal; chemistry can frequently be seen.
Hair analysis test for heavy metals
- Antimony
- Uranium
- Arsenic
- Beryllium
- Mercury
- Cadmium
- Lead
- Aluminum
Below is an explanation of all the sections that will be discussed in the report and what your hair analysis test profile
Metabolic type
This section of the hair mineral analysis report will discuss the metabolic profile which is based on research conducted by Dr D L Watts.
Each classification is established by evaluating the tissue mineral results and determining the degree to which the minerals may be associated with a stimulating and /or inhibiting effect up to the main energy producing endocrine glands.
The endocrine glands regulate nutrient absorption, excretion, metabolic utilization, and incorporation into the tissues of the body, the skin, organs, bone, hair and nails. How efficiently each nutrient is utilized depends largely upon proper functioning of the endocrine glands.
Slow metabolism
Parasympathetic Dominant
Tendency Toward Decreased Thyroid Function (reduced secretion of hormones)
Tendency Toward Decreased Adrenal Function (reduced secretion of hormones)
The mineral pattern reflected in a slow metabolic pattern. This particular profile can be related to a number of contributing factors such as;
Diet
Dietary factors such as low protein intake, high carbohydrate intake and eating refined carbohydrates, especially those containing appreciable amounts of sugar have an indirect yet significant effect in suppressing the metabolic rate.
Endocrine Function
Low thyroid activity as well as low adrenal grand function will contribute to lowering the metabolic rate.
Digestion
Poor absorption and utilization of nutrients found in the foods that are consumed will result in decreased energy production on a cellular level, thereby, affecting metabolism, in turn a lowered metabolic rate will have an adverse effect upon the digestion process, thereby creating a vicious cycle.
Viral infections
A past occurrence of a severe or chronic viral infection can contribute to a decrease in the metabolic rate, due to the body’s neuro-immunological response to infection. After a prolonged period of time a diminished metabolic rate such as indicated in these test results has be correlated with fatigue cold hand and feet easy weight gain and craving for sweets .
There are several more sections, i.e. - Nutrient Mineral Level / Nutrient Mineral Ratios.
The hair mineral analysis report will then go on to your food allergies – telling you what they are what to avoid in foods and what foods they recommend that you have more of.
There will then be a conclusion
This hair analysis profile can provide a unique insight into your nutritional biochemistry. The recommendations contained within are specifically designed according you your metabolic type, mineral status age and sex. Additional recommendations may be based upon other supporting clinical data.
Objective of program
The purpose of this program is to re-establish a normal balance of body chemistry through individually designed dietary and supplement suggestions. Properly followed this may then enhance the ability of the body to more efficiently utilize the nutrients that are consumed. Resulting in improved energy and production and health.
What to expect during the program
The mobilization and elimination of certain metals may cause temporary discomfort. As an example if and excess accumulation of iron or lead is contributing to arthritis a temporary flare-up of the condition may occur from time to time. This discomfort can be expected until removal of excess metal is complete.
The Doctor may recommend supplementary minerals as well as a good balanced diet. All supplementary mineral can be purchased from us as well.
How hair mineral analysis works
The structure of the hair is a shaft that is made up of lifeless protein material arranged around a central core, this outer protein layer is then sheathed in delicate cuticle cells, which are arranged like shingles or tiles.
The cuticle is in turn covered by a layer of protein substances and fatty substances that will protect the hair. Hair grows about half an inch a month and some one-hundred new hairs are added daily.
The hair root is anchored with each shaft of hair to the scalp. The root is nourished by a network of delicate blood vessels, which deliver vitamins, minerals and trace elements to the outer layers of the hair shaft.
These same vessels also deposit toxins and/or traces of drugs in the hair, any toxins or drugs present in the body then show up during the hair test. Hair analysis is the most widely recognized procedure to test for drugs in the body's system. Please note that re-evaluation should be obtained after 6 months or more to allow the necessary changes to take effect.
