Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis
An HTMA looks at your biochemistry at the cellular level and can pick up on deficiencies, imbalances, and toxicity. It tests 20 key minerals and toxic metals and can also highlight your current metabolism, how your hormones are working, blood sugar, digestion, and much more.
Because hair is a soft tissue, it can act as a window into what’s going on. Minerals show up in higher amounts in the hair compared to the blood.
Only a small amount of minerals are located in the blood and these are normalised as much as possible by the body so they’re not a useful barometer of mineral levels.
It’s not a diagnostic test but it can tell us so much about what’s going on in the body and crucially, what’s been happening for the last few months.
Blood and urine only give a “snapshot” of a certain moment in time. The results could be very different if you did another blood test or urine sample at a different time of day.
