Hair Mineral & Biospecimen Analysis
A non-invasive approach to assessing mineral status, toxic element burden, and metabolic pattern indicators using a small hair sample collected at home or in the office.
What this testing measures
Hair biospecimen analysis measures the mineral content deposited in the hair shaft over a period of weeks to months, providing a longer-term window into mineral status and toxic element accumulation than a single blood draw.
The analysis covers essential minerals (calcium, magnesium, zinc, copper, iron, and others), trace elements, and toxic heavy metals including lead, mercury, arsenic, and cadmium. Mineral ratios and metabolic pattern indicators are also reported.
Clinical applications
Provider Partners
Use as a complementary tool alongside clinical history and other diagnostics to investigate mineral status, suspected toxic exposure, or metabolic concerns in complex cases.
Wellness Professional Partners
Offer as a foundational diagnostic assessment to help clients understand their mineral status and identify potential areas for nutritional and lifestyle support.
Clinical context note
Hair biospecimen analysis is a complementary clinical assessment tool. Results should be interpreted alongside clinical history, symptoms, and other relevant diagnostics. This testing is not intended as a standalone diagnostic for medical conditions.
