What Is Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA)?
 
Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) is a laboratory screening test that measures the levels of up to 60 essential minerals and toxic metals stored in your body’s tissues. This includes key minerals like calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, phosphorus, copper, zinc, manganese, selenium, iron, and cobalt, as well as toxic elements such as lead, mercury, cadmium, arsenic, nickel, and aluminum.
Using advanced technology through Trace Elements Laboratory, HTMA provides a detailed snapshot of your long-term mineral patterns — something blood tests often miss.
 
Why Hair?
 
Hair is one of the best tissues for assessing mineral status because it acts as both a storage and eliminative tissue. As your hair grows, it records what your body is holding onto and what it’s excreting — creating a stable, long-term metabolic record.
 
Hair is also:
 
Non-invasive and easy to collect
Unaffected by daily fluctuations
Simple to mail and requires no refrigeration
A dependable tissue for detecting hidden mineral imbalances and chronic toxic burdens
 
This makes HTMA an ideal tool for anyone who wants to understand their metabolic patterns without the hassle of bloodwork or clinic visits.
 
What HTMA Can Reveal
 
With proper interpretation, HTMA can help identify:
 
Nutritional deficiencies
Mineral excesses
Metabolic trends
Adrenal, thyroid, and blood sugar imbalances
Inflammation patterns
Hidden heavy metal exposure
Slow detoxification or bio-accumulation
Stress-related biochemical shifts
 
When combined with a dietary and lifestyle overview, these patterns create a comprehensive metabolic profile uniquely tailored to you.
 
Why Mineral Balance Matters
 
Correcting mineral ratios can have a profound impact on how you feel and function. When tissue mineral levels are brought back into balance through targeted nutrition, supplemental support, and lifestyle changes, many physical and emotional symptoms can improve — or resolve entirely.
 
Clients commonly report:
 
Better energy and stamina
Improved stress resilience
More stable moods
Clearer thinking
Better sleep
Easier weight management
Improved hormone balance
Reduced inflammation
 
Balancing minerals isn’t about guessing. It’s about using real data to give your body what it has been missing — and removing what’s been holding you back.
