The Test

What is an HTMA?

Hair tissue mineral analysis is a screening test to measure the levels of 21 or more minerals in the hair tissue.

Hair is used for testing because it is a rapidly-growing soft tissue of the body that can be sampled easily and safely. Hair is also a storage tissue that the body uses for excreting excessive amounts of toxic metals and other substances to help rid them from the body. Therefore it is an excellent place to measure these items.

Hair provides a unique, biopsy type of reading of metabolic activity. The test is performed by burning the sample of hair at a high temperature in a mass spectrometer. The technique has been used in laboratories for over 80 years. Computer-controlled instruments have improved the accuracy and reduced the cost of mineral analysis.

What gets measured

Electrolytes — calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium and phosphorus.
Trace minerals — copper, manganese, chromium, selenium, iron, molybdenum, lithium, cobalt, zinc and others.
Toxic metals — lead, mercury, cadmium, arsenic, nickel, aluminium and others.

In all, 15 macro- and micro-minerals, 8 heavy metals, and 14 additional elements are analysed. It is an inexpensive, accurate screening method that can be of great help to understand body chemistry and design individualised diet and supplement programs — relieving biochemical stress to help restore and maintain optimum health.
