WHY TEST FOR MINERALS?
Minerals are the “sparkplugs” of life. They are involved in almost all enzyme reactions within the body. Without enzyme activity, life cease to exist. A trace mineral analysis is preventive as well as being useful as a screening tool.

WHO NEEDS A HAIR ANALYSIS?
Anyone who is found ill and no explanation can be found, or when the cause seems to be found be the therapy is not wholly effective. Hair analysis opens a whole new vista for the solving of your own particular problem by recognizing your biochemical individuality.
​
Even if you are not experiencing a severe problem, abnormal changes in body chemistry and nutritional deficiencies may result in early, subtle changes in the body such as:

· White spots in the fingernails—indicates a possible zinc deficiency.
· Longitudinal ridging in nails—indicates an iron deficiency.
· Brittle hair and nails – calcium and copper imbalance.
· Deep grooves across nails – calcium deficiency.
· Stretch marks – zinc deficiency.
· Lack of growth – zinc deficiency.
· Mood swings – possible toxic metal accumulation such as lead, mercury, or cadmium.

The above indicators are early signs of metabolic disturbances and may lead to serious problems left unchecked.

​COMMON CAUSES OF A MINERAL IMBALANCE
​· Improper diet – such as excessive intake of refined carbohydrates and sugars, strict vegetarian diets, or other exclusive diets.
· Taking vitamins and minerals which are not compatible with your current body chemistry.
· Medications
· Birth control pills.
· Stress.
· Accumulation of toxic metals from the environment, job, or hobby.
· Inheritance of mineral patterns from parents.

Hair analysis is an invaluable screening tool which allows a correct program of diet and supplementation to be designed for each individual’s specific needs. Never before has there been available a metabolic blueprint with such a degree of applicable scientific accuracy.
