As we all know, hair is an important part of our aesthetic appearance, but what many of us don't know is that hair also provides important information about the biochemistry of body tissue. Human hair consists of proteins, minerals and heavy metals. Therefore, it is the best tissue to use when examining mineral concentration and the presence of heavy metals in the body. To obtain the information, you can perform a non-invasive test called a hair mineral analysis test. Let's see how we can do this.

Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis: How to Collect a Hair Sample for an HTMA Test
The Hair Mineral Analysis Test is a reliable way to examine the levels of minerals and heavy metals in the body. Our hair is an excretory tissue and provides a stable image, unlike blood and other fluids. Blood and other body fluids do not provide accurate results because they are in constant motion and therefore cannot be used to represent a true clinical picture.
Minerals play an important role in our health, and their concentration and balance in relation to each other influence our overall well-being. In clinical practice I often observe a mineral imbalance in 99% of my clients.
As I mentioned in the previous paragraph, this ratio is crucial for health, because all elements compete for absorption, and a high presence of any element, for example copper, will drastically reduce the absorption of zinc. Often I observe copper toxicity and low zinc levels, which are present especially in people with low immunity, unstable moods and digestive problems.
