Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA)
£80.00
The Conscious Parent Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) Practitioner Report- Patient Report service is for you and your children. This simple, non-invasive test will help you understand your family’s mineral levels and any hidden toxic metals. It’s a gentle and non-invasive way to improve the health of both parents and children.
Discover nutritional imbalances: Find out if you or your child are low on essential minerals like calcium, magnesium, zinc, and iron, which are vital for overall health. It can also show if you have high levels of minerals like copper, which is widely used in pesticides.
Uncover Toxic Metals: Detect harmful metals such as lead, mercury, cadmium and aluminium that could be affecting your health.
- Insight: When doctors can’t find answers or traditional medical tests don’t reveal the cause of your symptoms, HTMA can provide new insights into underlying issues.
Preventive Care: Identify potential health issues before they become serious, allowing for early intervention.
Hair is tested because it is one of the places where the body stores excess minerals and heavy metals, keeping them away from vital organs. The amounts of these substances in the hair can reveal a lot about your body chemistry.
Included:
- Graph results and mineral ratios plus two comprehensive HTMA reports; Practitioner and Patient Report.
- Overview of metabolic type and comprehensive introductory section and interpretation of recommendations of other clinical tests.
- A technical analysis of the disease trends associated with an overview of any minerals that show moderate levels or mineral levels and ratios, plus any nutrient significant deviations from the reference ranges or ratios, contraindications and their potential health implications.
- Tailored dietary and supplement recommendations based upon age, sex, metabolic type and mineral patterns based upon age, sex, metabolic type and mineral patterns.
Special Focus on Children
Hair Mineral Analysis is especially valuable for children. It helps identify nutritional deficiencies and toxic exposures that can impact their growth, development and behaviour. Since it’s non-invasive, it’s a stress-free way to get important health information about your little ones.
- Simple Sample Collection: A tiny sample of hair is taken from the nape of the neck or another area. It’s quick, easy, and doesn’t hurt at all.
- Laboratory Analysis: The sample is then sent to a lab where it’s carefully analysed for mineral content and the presence of any toxic metals.
- Detailed Report: You receive a comprehensive report that shows the levels of various minerals and any toxic metals detected.
Addressing symptoms: Particularly useful if your child has behavioural problems, allergies, fatigue, or low immunity. Many of these issues are now recognised as related to low levels of minerals and distorted hair mineral patterns in children and even babies.
- Worried about your child’s health due to toxic exposure? Heavy metals can cross the placental barrier to the developing foetus and, after birth, can be passed through breast milk. If you live near fields that get sprayed with pesticides or in busy streets with high traffic pollution, the risk of exposure increases.
- Curiosity about health: If you’re keen to understand more about your and your child’s nutritional needs and exposures.
- Unexplained health issues: When traditional tests can’t find the cause of your symptoms, HTMA can provide new insights.
- Family health: Beneficial for both parents and children, helping ensure everyone’s nutritional needs are met.
- Fertility and preconception: Perfect for those looking to improve their health before conceiving, supporting a healthy pregnancy.
the science explained
HTMA measures the following 35 elements: calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, copper, zinc, phosphorous, iron, manganese, chromium, selenium, cobalt, molybdenum, sulphur, germanium, barium, bismuth, rubidium, lithium, nickel, platinum, thallium, vanadium, strontium, tin, titanium, tungsten, zirconium, uranium, arsenic, beryllium, mercury, cadmium, lead and aluminium.
After you’ve taken the hair sample, place it into the special envelope we provide and mail it to us. Once it arrives at the laboratory, it undergoes a specialised preparation process before being placed in a series of test tubes for multiple analyses.
The scientific testing of a hair sample involves exposing it to high temperatures and special acids to break down the hair and separate it from its elements. Once the hair is completely digested, only the mineral salts remain. These salts are then added to a chemical solution and analysed to determine the mineral status and toxic metal accumulation in your body.
This precise process reveals the nutrient levels in your body and provides evidence of long-term or acute exposure to heavy metals, even those you may not have been aware of.
