wHAT IS AN HTMA TEST?
AND WHY SHOULD YOU WANT ONE?
What is Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis?
HTMA is a non-invasive test that involves collecting a small hair sample, typically from the back of the head, to analyze the mineral composition. This method is chosen because hair is a reliable storage tissue for minerals, offering a window into the body’s mineral retention and excretion patterns.
How Does It Work?
Minerals play a crucial role in various physiological processes within the body. Through HTMA, the levels of essential minerals such as calcium, magnesium, zinc, and toxic elements like lead and mercury are measured. The ratios and patterns of these minerals provide insights into potential imbalances, deficiencies, or excesses that may impact overall health.
