Optimum Health | Hair Analysis 


The Benefits of  Hair Analysis:

Hair is ideal for analyzing and can be cut easily and painlessly and can be sent to the lab without special handling requirements.   Hair analysis reveals a unique view inside your body at your cellular activity, which cannot be seen through most other tests. Hair analysis provides a blueprint of the biochemistry occurring during the period of hair growth and development.


Hair Analysis Example:

Approximately 30 to 40 days after exposure to a large amount of lead, elevated blood levels may be undetectable. This is due to the body removing the lead from the blood and depositing the metal into such tissues as the liver, bones, teeth and hair as a protective measure.  Once the lead is removed from the blood, typically, it will not show up in blood or urine test.  However, it will still show up in a properly performed hair analysis.

Hair Analysis: Why Beneficial:

  • Nutrient loss from the body can become so advanced that severe health conditions can develop without any appreciable changes noted in those same nutrient levels in a blood test.
  • Symptoms of elemental deficiency can be present long before low levels can be detected in the blood.
  • Excess sodium is associated with hypertension, but adequate amounts are required for normal health.
  • Hair is used as one of the tissues of choice by the Environmental Protection Agency in determining toxic metal exposure. A 1980 report from the E.P.A. stated that human hair can be effectively used for biological monitoring of the highest priority toxic metals. This report confirmed the findings of other studies in the U.S. and abroad, which concluded that human hair may be a more appropriate tissue than blood or urine for studying community exposure to some trace elements Since hair analysis can indicate toxic substances that are stored in the body.

Hair Analysis Includes Analysis of Essential Minerals:

Clinical confirmation has shown that hair analysis of a properly obtained sample performed by Trace Elements Hair Analysis Laboratory can give information that can be vital.  Hair analysis can measure all of the following minerals that have been studied extensively and found to be essential for the function of your muscles, hormones, and much more.

 Calcium Sulfur  Chromium

Though these minerals are essential, they can also become toxic if their levels become to high.  Hair analysis can be an important part of monitoring these minerals to help you to keep their levels just where they need to be.
