What is HAIR MINERAL AND TOXINS PROFILE?

This comprehensive test analyzes your hair or nail sample to provide a detailed profile of both essential minerals and potentially toxic elements. It offers a unique window into your long-term nutritional status and environmental exposures.

Why is this test important?

It's valuable for identifying chronic mineral imbalances, nutrient deficiencies, and exposure to heavy metals like lead or mercury. This profile can help in understanding symptoms and developing personalized health strategies.

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.
