Description
Why This Test Matters
Minerals are the spark plugs of life — powering metabolism, nerve function, detoxification, and hormone balance. Deficiencies, excesses, or imbalances can silently fuel:
- Chronic fatigue and “burnout”
- Hormone imbalance (including low thyroid function)
- Anxiety, depression, and mood swings
- Poor stress resilience and adrenal exhaustion
- Blood sugar issues and carb cravings
- Insomnia or restless sleep
- Immune weakness or chronic inflammation
At the same time, toxic metals like cadmium, lead, and mercury can block healthy mineral function — contributing to premature aging, neurological issues, and chronic illness. Hair analysis can detect stored heavy metals long after blood tests turn “normal,” revealing past exposures that still burden your system.
Widely Used in Neurological & Developmental Conditions
HTMA is frequently used in evaluating and supporting individuals with:
- Dementia and Alzheimer’s disease — where toxic metals and mineral imbalances may impair brain function
- Autism spectrum disorders — to detect heavy metal burdens and nutrient deficiencies linked to behavior and cognition
- Parkinson’s and other neurodegenerative diseases — to assess mineral patterns tied to mitochondrial and nervous system health
- ADHD and learning difficulties — to reveal hidden deficiencies or toxic exposures affecting attention and mood
By identifying both toxic load and nutritional status, HTMA helps guide safe, targeted interventions in these complex conditions.
What the HTMA Test Reveals
- Nutritional Minerals — calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, zinc, copper, iron, and more
- Toxic Metals — mercury, lead, cadmium, arsenic, aluminum
- Metabolic Type — how your thyroid, adrenals, and energy system are functioning
- Key Mineral Ratios — critical balances that affect hormones, mood, and detox capacity
- Toxic Ratios — how heavy metals are interfering with nutrient absorption
Why Hair Testing Over Blood?
- Shows long-term trends — blood changes hourly, hair records months
- Detects stored toxins that may no longer circulate in blood but still damage tissues
- Non-invasive and simple to collect at home
- Stable sample — easy to ship without special handling
How to Collect Your Sample
- Use clean stainless steel scissors to snip the first 1–1.5 inches of hair closest to the scalp (mid-back of head is best).
- Collect 150 mg (about 1 teaspoon) of hair.
- Avoid dyed, bleached, or chemically treated hair — if treated, wait 6–8 weeks and collect new growth.
- Place the sample in the provided envelope and mail it to the lab.
