What is Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis?
The Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis is a test that measures the mineral content of your hair. Your hair reflects the mineral content of the body's tissues. If a mineral deficiency or excess is present, then it indicates a mineral deficiency or excess within the body, or that the minerals are bio-unavailable.
An example of a deficiency or excess is your level of calcium in the body. If your hair reveals an elevated calcium level, 2 or three times normal, then your calcium level within the body may be elevated also, then there is a strong tendency toward arteriosclerosis (hardening of the arteries due to calcium plaque.)
If your level of calcium is low, then a tendency toward osteoporosis (demineralization of the bone), increased tendency to bone fractures, dental cavities, periodontal disease and muscle cramps. etc.
Mineral imbalances revealed through hair analysis are a screening test for metabolic dysfunction before any symptoms are manifested.
