Discover the Root Cause of Your Health Challenges
Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) is a noninvasive tissue biopsy test that provides a detailed overview of your body’s biochemistry. It evaluates mineral levels, balances, and toxic metal exposure and offers insights into metabolic rate, carbohydrate tolerance, glandular functions, and stress levels, guiding personalized nutritional and detoxification strategies.
Unlike blood tests that provide a short-term snapshot, HTMA offers a long-term view of mineral storage and metabolic activity. Analytical Research Labs, a trusted leader in nutritional balancing science, performs it.
Analytical Research Labs ensures the highest accuracy by not washing hair samples before testing, preserving the integrity of water-soluble elements. When you order the initial test (Profile 2) or the retest (Profile 4), you receive a comprehensive lab report, graphs, and customized nutritional recommendations.
And with WellnessShoppingOnline.com, you’ll work directly with Eileen Durfee, a practitioner who has supported clients using HTMA since 2011. Every order includes:
Mineral | Description |
---|---|
Calcium (Ca) | Vital for bone health, nerve transmission, and muscle function. |
Magnesium (Mg) | Essential for energy production and over 300 enzymatic processes. |
Sodium (Na) | Regulates fluid balance and supports nerve and muscle function. |
Potassium (K) | Essential for cardiovascular health and cellular function. |
Iron (Fe) | Essential for oxygen transport and energy production in the body. |
Copper (Cu) | Involved in iron metabolism and the formation of red blood cells. |
Manganese (Mn) | Supports bone development, metabolism, and antioxidant functions. |
Zinc (Zn) | Supports immune function, protein synthesis, and wound healing. |
Chromium (Cr) | Regulates blood sugar levels and improves insulin sensitivity. |
Selenium (Se) | Essential for thyroid function and antioxidant protection. |
Phosphorus (P) | Key for bone strength and energy production within cells. |
Nickel (Ni) | Involved in various cellular processes and enzyme function. |
Cobalt (Co) | Essential for vitamin B12 activity and red blood cell formation. |
Molybdenum (Mo) | Involved in the breakdown of toxins and sulfur-containing amino acids. |
Lithium (Li) | Important for mood stabilization and brain health. |
Toxic Metal | Description |
---|---|
Lead (Pb) | A poisonous metal that can affect neurological and developmental health. |
Mercury (Hg) | Mercury exposure can lead to adverse effects on the nervous system. |
Cadmium (Cd) | Linked to kidney damage and respiratory issues with long-term exposure. |
Arsenic (As) | High levels of arsenic can be toxic and impact cellular function. |
Aluminum (Al) | Associated with neurotoxicity and cognitive decline in high concentrations. |
Q: How is the hair sample collected?
A: Use stainless steel scissors to cut a small amount of clean, untreated hair from the nape of the neck. We’ll provide step-by-step instructions after purchase.
Q: Do I have to stop taking supplements before the test?
A: Yes, for the most accurate results, we recommend stopping mineral-based supplements (especially zinc, calcium, magnesium, selenium, etc.) for about 3–5 days before taking your sample.
Q: Can I color or dye my hair before submitting a sample?
A: No. Chemically treated or dyed hair can alter test results. Please wait at least 4–6 weeks after treatment or submit hair that has not been processed.
Q: How long does it take to get results?
A: Once the lab receives your sample, your report is typically ready in 7–21 business days.
Q: Will I receive personalized supplement recommendations?
A: Yes. We provide personalized Endo-Met supplement suggestions based on your oxidation type and mineral ratios and your lab results.
Q: Is this test suitable for children?
A: Yes. HTMA is safe, non-invasive, and highly valuable for children showing signs of developmental, emotional, or behavioral imbalances.
Q: What makes this different from other HTMA labs?
A: Analytical Research Labs does not wash hair samples before testing, preserving mineral accuracy. Their interpretation methodology is rooted in decades of clinical application.
