Hair Mineral Analysis

Hair mineral analysis is a laboratory test that measures mineral content in the hair. Very much like a core sample taken by geologists, the hair shaft records the minerals present at the time of growth. When one analysis the nutrients that are retained from the diet that we consume, then we can discover our nutritional status and the individual body needs when it needs it.

The information obtained is then further analysed to present a nutritionally based programme. What serves as good nutrition for one is not necessarily good nutrition for you. An individual and tailor-made programme is the only way forward and it is to this end that Hair Mineral Analysis is best used. A properly obtained Hair Mineral Sample is extremely accurate. It provides a history, an average mineral intake over a specific period of time. Unlike urine, blood and sweat which provides real time analysis which changes hour from hour.
