How is the hair mineral analysis performed?

You can collect hair from your head or pubic area. One tablespoon of hair is required for the test (at least 4 cm long). After ordering, we will send you a kit with everything you need to collect the hair. Then simply return your sample to us in the included prepaid return envelope.

How quickly will I receive my results?

Once we have received your sample, the average response time to receive results is 10-15 business days.

When should I take the test?

The test can be collected at any time of the day. Remember that you should not have dyed your hair 3 weeks before the test and not permed your hair 2 months before the test. Avoid dandruff shampoo before taking the test.

Is the test suitable for children?

No, the test is not intended for children. The reference values are based on adults, which means the results cannot be accurately interpreted for children. For that reason, we are also unable to assist with the interpretation of test results for persons under 18 years of age.

About GetTested’s Hair Mineral Analysis

Hair mineral analysis is an advanced screening method that provides an in-depth insight into the body’s mineral balance and exposure to heavy metals. The test measures the levels of essential minerals and trace minerals while identifying potentially harmful heavy metals and toxic substances in the body.

Trace minerals are needed in small amounts but can become toxic at higher doses. Heavy metals and other toxic substances can be harmful even in small amounts and are therefore relevant to analyze.

By analyzing a small amount of hair, the test offers a non-invasive way to assess your nutritional status and exposure to harmful substances. For those who do not have enough hair on their head, other body hair can be used.

What Do We Analyze?

The test includes a broad analysis of the following substances:

Minerals: Phosphorus, iodine, calcium, potassium, copper, magnesium, sodium, selenium, zinc.
Trace minerals: Boron, cobalt, chromium, iron, lithium, manganese, molybdenum, silicon, strontium, vanadium, zirconium.
Heavy metals: Aluminium, arsenic, lead, cadmium, mercury, nickel, thallium.
Toxic substances: Silver, gold, barium, beryllium, bismuth, gadolinium, palladium, platinum, antimony, tin, titanium, uranium.

Benefits of Hair Mineral Analysis

Non-invasive and simple: Requires only a small amount of hair, making it a painless and easy process.
Long-term exposure indicator: Hair stores information about the body’s chemical balance over time, providing a more comprehensive picture than blood tests, which mainly show the current state.
ISO-certified laboratory: The analyses are performed at an accredited and ISO-certified laboratory, ensuring high accuracy and reliability in the results.

Why Hair Mineral Analysis?

Hair mineral analysis differs from many other tests by providing a long-term picture of the body’s chemical balance. Unlike blood tests, which show a snapshot, this test can offer insight into how various substances have accumulated over time.

The test analyzes a total of 39 substances, including minerals, trace minerals, heavy metals, and other toxic substances, offering a broad overview of your exposure and nutritional status. This information can be used to identify imbalances and understand long-term exposures.

The Process

Performing a hair mineral analysis is simple. After ordering your test kit online, follow the instructions to collect and send in your sample. The sample is then analyzed at an ISO-certified laboratory, and you will receive a report with your results.
