What is a Hair Mineral Analysis?
The hair analysis measures the content of 20 minerals and toxic metals in hair tissue. Since hair tissue is living tissue, the mineral status on hair can reflect the mineral status of other living tissues inside the body. You can find that you are deficient or have an excess amount of a mineral, or the minerals may have low bioavailability and cannot be used by the body even though they are present.
Why do we do a Hair Mineral Analysis?
First, minerals are involved in almost every enzymatic process in the body so mineral balance is essential for optimal wellness. The mineral content of your hair will provide us with a map of your mineral profile in your body. We can determine what vitamins and minerals your body needs. With this map we can more effectively find solutions to bring your body back into balance. Mineral imbalances can be corrected through the diet and supplementation with whole food based supplements.
What are some early signs of mineral imbalance?
• Ridging in the nails
• Brittle hair and nails
• White spots in fingernails
• Deep grooves across nails
