Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA)

HTMA is an exciting analytical test that reflects mineral composition of the hair. HTMA may provide indications of mineral imbalances, deficiencies and excesses of many essential and toxic elements. Your results will tell you about changes in minerals and toxic minerals over a period of three months. It is the best indicator for long term uptake of heavy metals and can be used as an indicator of glandular function. It's all about balance and finding out if what you're doing is working for you. HTMA can provide a holistic and comprehensive picture upon which to base the most effective nutritional lifestyle. What does Hair reflect? Hair is formed in the dermis from a cluster of matrix cells that make up the follicle. During the growth phase, metabolic activity is greatly increased, exposing the hair to the internal metabolic environment. This includes the extra-cellular fluids circulating blood and lymph. As the hair reaches the surface of the skin, its outer layers harden, locking in metabolic products accumulated during this period of hair formation. Hair is the second most metabolically active tissue and by the very nature of its formation as a biological sample, may provide a permanent record of metabolic activity occurring within the body during its period of growth.
