Hair tissue mineral analysis is a screening test to measure the levels of 21 or more minerals and toxic metals in the hair tissue. This form of mineral analysis is an inexpensive and accurate screening method.  Hair is a rapidly growing soft storage tissue of the body that can be sampled easily providing a biopsy type of metabolic activity reading. Hair tissue mineral analysis has been used in laboratories for over 80 years. Computer-controlled instruments have improved the accuracy and reduced the cost of mineral analysis.

Minerals tested include the electrolytes – calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium and phosphorus. Trace minerals tested include copper, manganese, chromium, selenium, iron, molybdenum, lithium, cobalt, zinc and others. Toxic metals tested include lead, mercury, cadmium, arsenic, nickel, aluminum and others. In all, 15 macro- and micro-minerals, 8 heavy metals, and 14 additional elements are analyzed.
