What is HTMA?

Hair Trace Mineral Analysis is a non-invasive pathology test that is sent to a lab and tested for minerals and toxic metals in your hair.

Hair Trace Mineral Analysis

Hair is formed from clusters of specialized cells that make up the hair follicle. During the growth phase, the hair is exposed to the internal environment such as blood, lymph and extra-cellular fluids. As the hair continues to grow and reaches the surface of the skin its outer layers harden, locking in the metabolic products accumulated during the period of formation. This biological process provides a blueprint and lasting record of mineral status and nutritional metabolic activity that has occurred during this time. The balance and ratios of minerals in your hair can reveal information about your thyroid and adrenal function, metabolic type, immune system, stress patterns, and much more.

Benefits of doing a HTMA test with a qualified practitioner

Identification of Nutrient Deficiencies

By detecting deficiencies and excesses in specific minerals and their ratios, HTMA helps to pinpoint nutritional imbalances that could be impacting your health and well-being.

Ongoing Monitoring

Regular HTMA testing (every 4-6 months) enables you to track changes in your mineral levels over time, offering a way to monitor the effectiveness of dietary changes and lifestyle adjustments, and adjust your health strategy as needed.

Targeted Stress Management

HTMA can identify mineral imbalances that affect your body's stress response, such as deficiencies in magnesium or high levels of stress-related minerals. By addressing these imbalances through tailored nutritional adjustments and supplementation, you can better manage stress and support your body's natural ability to cope with and recover from stressors.

Insight into Detoxification

A HTMA test can reveal how effectively your body is detoxifying and processing heavy metals and toxins, helping you address potential issues related to toxic exposure.

Custom Supplement Recommendations

Avoid taking vitamins and supplements that may cause more imbalances due to being incompatible with your biochemistry and cellular needs.

Comprehensive Mineral Assessment

HTMA provides a detailed analysis of essential and trace minerals in your hair, offering insights into your body’s mineral levels and potential imbalances.
