What is Hair Mineral Analysis Test

It  is a safe and non-invasive pathology test. It measures the levels and comparative ratios of nutrient and toxic minerals found in hair.  It is regarded by many doctors, naturopaths and nutritional therapists as one of the most valuable screening tools available in everyday and preventative health care.

How to take a hair sample

Instructions
Cut hair with clean stainless steel scissors. Thinning scissors can be used on short hair.

Cut small amounts of hair from the nape of the neck and/or several other locations on the back of the scalp. Cut hair as close to the scalp as possible.

If the sampled hair is less than 4cm long, keep all of it for testing. If the hair is longer than this, cut off and keep the 4cm of hair that was growing closest to the scalp (discard the excess).

The hair needs to be clean, well-rinsed, untreated and uncoloured. If hair is treated or coloured, wait six to eight weeks and take a sample from the freshly grown untreated hair.

Place the hair sample in the envelope provided, or in a clean, clearly labelled envelope or sachet.

How much hair?
The laboratory requires 0.5gm (500mg) or about one (heaped) tablespoon of hair for testing.

What kind of hair?
Head hair from the back of the head is recommended for testing. Freshly grown hair cut from close to the scalp reflects the body’s most recent metabolic activity.

If head hair is not available, beard or pubic hair can be used. Do not mix different types of tissue samples, eg. do not mix head hair with pubic hair.

Why test for minerals?

Minerals are essential for growth, healing, vitality and well-being. They provide structural support in bones and teeth, and they maintain the body’s pH and water balance, nerve activity, muscle contractions, energy production and enzyme reactions. They are the basic ‘spark plugs’ of life.

Ideally we should get all the minerals we need from a balanced diet. Unfortunately today this is rarely possible. Modern farming techniques, fertilisers and depleted soils reduce the mineral content of foods. Environmental pollutants, chemical food additives and stressful lifestyles also have a detrimental effect on our nutritional status.
Many health conditions are aggravated by mineral imbalances and toxic metal excesses, including cardiovascular disease, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, migraines, learning difficulties and hyperactivity in children, to name just a few.  Consequently, there is a great need to test and monitor our nutritional status more than ever.

Benefits of  a Hair Mineral Analysis

  • Safe, scientific, non-invasive pathology test.
  • Reliable data on more than 35 nutrient and toxic minerals, and over 25 important mineral ratios.
  • Valuable health information often not revealed in standard blood and urine tests.
  • Discovery of nutrient mineral imbalances or toxic mineral excesses that may be affecting your health.
  • Personalised patient and doctor interpretive test reports that assess your current mineral status, highlight areas of concern and recommend dietary changes and supplements for improved health and well-being.

The earlier you begin balancing your minerals, hair analysis the less time this task takes. A hair mineral analysis (get one here) can give you a crystal ball and preview into your state of health because it can show health issues and body chemistry imbalances before you manifest symptoms. Once you present with symptoms or illness like cancer, for instance, you’ve been sick for many years — even decades. A hair mineral analysis will give you a place to begin and a plan to improve your health beyond what you thought imaginable.

Mineral Power uses hair mineral analysis to address the root causes of physical and mental health issues — nutrient deficiencies and heavy metal and chemical toxicity — and provides a plan to resolve these issues. So many health issues are not resolved with traditional medical care because these issues are rarely addressed.

Where is the testing done

InterClinical laboratory facilities have stringent quality control measures in place to ensure reports contain the most precise and reliable test data available.
