What is Hair Mineral Analysis 55 Elements?

This test measures the levels of 55 essential and toxic minerals present in your hair or nail sample. Hair analysis provides a long-term record of your body's mineral status, reflecting exposure over several months.

Why is this test important?

It helps identify nutritional deficiencies, mineral imbalances, and potential exposure to heavy metals or toxic elements. This information can be valuable for understanding various health issues and guiding dietary or lifestyle adjustments.

How to Prepare

For hair, collect a small sample (about a tablespoon) from the nape of the neck, close to the scalp. Avoid chemically treated hair (dyed, permed) if possible. For nails, collect clippings from all ten fingers or toes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to fast before my blood test?
It depends on the test. Tests like lipid profile and fasting blood sugar require 10-12 hours of fasting. Tests like CBC, vitamin D, and thyroid do not require fasting. Each test page on our website clearly states the fasting requirements.
