Hair Mineral Analysis

Your hair contains all the minerals present in your body, including nutritional minerals as well as toxic heavy metals. Hair Mineral Analysis is a laboratory test that measures this mineral content in the hair.

If we consider that diet is what we consume and nutrition is what we retain, then we can see that discovering what your body needs when it needs it is a valuable tool in staying healthy. After 30 years of research, hair analysis has emerged as the most practical, non-invasive method of testing for mineral balance in your body.

If you are feeling tired all the time, also known as T.A.T.T by your doctor, yet routine blood tests have shown no abnormality, a hair analysis may be able to identify an imbalance or shortage of minerals. This is because a blood test reports how you are at the time of taking the sample.

If you have just eaten a banana, your blood test can indicate a high potassium level, even though you may actually need more potassium. A hair analysis will indicate your overall level of potassium - your actual storage levels over a period of time. So if a blood test is like a snapshot, a hair analysis is more like a video of your mineral retention.

Pulse Health Screening is able to offer you Hair Mineral Analysis from a world class laboratory called Trace Elements Inc. which has specialised in this field since 1984.

Your sample is sent to the laboratory in the US and you will receive a comprehensive report 2 - 3 weeks later. Your report will include:

	Your body's level of nutrient minerals and toxic metals to mineral ratios

	A list of recommended foods - and those to avoid

	Food allergy indicators

	Body chemistry balance analysis with supplement recommendations

	Metabolic assessment

If you follow the recommendations in your report, you will want to know if there is any change in your body. A retest can be arranged a few months later, although you may have noticed physical improvements in your health by then.

How to obtain a hair sample

Proper collection of the hair sample is extremely important. The hair to be collected should be clean and you should not use permed, dyed or bleached hair. The hair should come from several areas of your scalp on the back portion of your head. You simply part the hair and cut as close to the scalp as possible. Cut away excess hair from the sample, leaving about one to one and a half inches (2 - 3cm) of the root end. The total amount of hair needed is about a tablespoon.

Full instructions are given in the hair sample kit which you will be sent.

Dogs: Hair analysis is not only helpful for humans but for dogs, too. The sample should be taken from the dog's belly and the same amount of hair is required as for a human test. A special report is provided by Trace Elements which is relevant to dogs.

Trace Elements provide a report which is similar in appearance to the report for humans but is specifically relevant to your dog. The report includes dietary advice and a list of nutrients to help address any nutritional deficiencies or toxic metal overload. The report can be shown to your vet if you need any additional help.

Hair Mineral & Toxins Analysis for Dogs

Children: The hair analysis can be ordered for children from two years of age but the supplements recommended in the report may not be suitable for children under 12. Therefore, you will be advised to consult a qualified nutritionist in your area for advice on suitable alternatives.
