About Hair Mineral Analysis:

A Mineral Gram

Hair mineral analysis can provide pertinent information about your metabolic rate, energy levels, sugar and carbohydrate tolerance, stage of stress, immune system and glandular activity.

A small sample of your hair can provide a wealth of information regarding your health and wellness.

A hair mineral analysis performed by Analytical Research Labs, Inc., is a screening test for the level of 20 minerals and toxic metals in a sample of hair. It is a tissue mineral biopsy that is non-invasive, relatively inexpensive and extremely accurate. ARL's laboratory uses only the most advanced and sophisticated instrumentation available today, the Perkin Elmer Elan 9000 ICP Mass Spectrometer to assess mineral levels in parts per million or parts per billion.

Minerals are the "sparkplugs" of life.  They are involved in almost all enzyme reactions within the body.  Without enzyme activity life ceases to exist.  Testing for mineral content at a cellular level is an invaluable tool for looking at your current level of health.  Based on the results of your hair mineral analysis you will be able to taylor your nutritional supplements in a way that is most beneficial for you.

A hair mineral analysis is considered a standard test used around the world for the biological monitoring of trace elements and toxic metals in humans and animals species. The same technology is used for soil testing and testing of rock samples to detect mineral levels.
