Hair Analysis
Hair analysis is one testing method used at Preventive Health Lab. It certainly is the most effective
method for examining toxic levels of heavy metals in the body. Hair analysis is often preferred as it is
painless, unlike blood extraction.
A hair tissue mineral analysis is a screening test that measures the mineral content of your hair.
However, a hair tissue mineral analysis is much more than a test for minerals.
Providing a mineral blueprint of one’s biochemistry, a hair tissue mineral analysis can provide
pertinent information about your metabolic rate, energy levels, sugar and carbohydrate tolerance,
stage of stress, immune system and glandular activity.
A hair tissue mineral analysis processed by Preventive Health Lab is a screening test for the level of
20 minerals and toxic metals in a sample of hair. It is a tissue mineral biopsy that is non-invasive,
relatively inexpensive and extremely accurate.
A hair tissue mineral analysis is considered a standard test used around the world for the biological
monitoring of trace elements and toxic metals in humans and animals species. The same technology
is used for soil testing and testing of rock samples to detect mineral levels. Hair, like all other body
tissues, contains minerals that are deposited as the hair grows. Although the hair is dead, the
minerals remain as the hair continues to grow out. A sample of hair cut close to the scalp provides
information about the mineral activity in the hair that took place over the past three to four months,
depending on the rate of hair growth.
Test results are printed on an easy to read graph. This is an excellent tool for your doctor and it
really will help you understand what is right and wrong when it comes to your health. The printed
graph includes the mineral results, major mineral ratios and the oxidation type. It is a 15-20 page
report that will contain information related to your metabolic rate, energy levels, sugar and
carbohydrate tolerance, immune system, autonomic balance, glandular activity and metabolic trends,
a personal dietary supplement program, basic diet recommendations and other information that can
be inferred from the test results.
