Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA)

Description

Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis ensures that you have adequate amounts of essential nutrient minerals and that their relationships to one another (ratios) are optimal. The HTMA also alerts you to any toxic metal levels in your body. Therefore the HTMA is an invaluable screening tool which allows a correct program of diet and supplementation to be designed for each individual’s specific needs.

The HTMA’s three areas of measurement and analysis are:

• Nutrient mineral/electrolyte levels in the body’s tissues, including calcium, chromium, magnesium, selenium, sodium, phosphorus, potassium, nickel, iron, cobalt, copper, molybdenum, manganese, lithium, zinc, and boron

• Toxic metal levels in the body’s tissues, including lead, mercury, cadmium, arsenic, and aluminum

• Significant mineral ratios, which help determine carbohydrate metabolism, thyroid function, levels of inflammation, adrenal reserves, copper toxicity, tissue breakdown, and calcium shell
