Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis
- Measures the mineral content of the hair
- It shows heavy metals stored in the body
Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) is an analytical test which measures the mineral content of the hair. The sample of hair, obtained by cutting the first inch and one half of growth closest to the scalp, is prepared in a licensed clinical laboratory through a series of chemical and high temperature digestive procedures.
Testing is then performed using highly sophisticated detection equipment and methods to achieve the most accurate and precise results.
