Progressive health care providers including physicians, nutritionists, and dieticians are now well aware of the vast amount of research linking nutritional imbalances to disease. When we consider that diet is what we consume and nutrition is what we retain, then we can see that discovering what your body needs when it needs it is a valuable tool in creating vibrant health.
Hair analysis has emerged as one of the most valuable and practical resources for the testing of health imbalances in the physical body. Results from a Hair Analysis Report can provide a vivid picture of your internal environment. Not only can your nutritional status be viewed, but we can also learn more about how efficiently your body is working.
How is this possible? Hair is formed in the dermis from a cluster of matrix cells that make up the follicle. During the growth phase, metabolic activity is greatly increased, exposing the hair to the internal metabolic environment. This includes the extracellular fluids, circulating blood, and lymph. As the hair reaches the surface of the skin, its outer layers harden, locking in the metabolic products accumulated during this period of hair formation. Hair is the second most metabolically active tissue and by the very nature of its formation as a biological sample, may provide a permanent record of metabolic activity occurring within the body during its period of growth.
Consequently, with a properly obtained sample, hair analysis can be extremely accurate. Furthermore, a Hair Analysis Report can provide additional information with which to custom design a nutritional program to put you back on the path to vibrant health.

What is Hair Analysis?
Hair analysis has emerged as one of the most valuable and practical resources for the testing of health imbalances in the physical body. Results from a Hair Analysis Report can provide a vivid picture of your internal environment. Not only can your nutritional status be viewed, but we can also learn more about how efficiently your body is working.
How Does Hair Analysis Work?
Hair is formed in the dermis from a cluster of matrix cells that make up the follicle. During the growth phase, metabolic activity is greatly increased, exposing the hair to the internal metabolic environment. This includes the extracellular fluids, circulating blood, and lymph. As the hair reaches the surface of the skin, its outer layers harden, locking in the metabolic products accumulated during this period of hair formation. Hair is the second most metabolically active tissue and by the very nature of its formation as a biological sample, may provide a permanent record of metabolic activity occurring within the body during its period of growth.
How Can Hair Analysis Help You?
With a properly obtained sample, hair analysis can be extremely accurate in the measurement of:
- The Metabolic Type
- The Nutritional Content of the Hair
- The Presence of Heavy Metal Toxins
- The Balance between the Nutrient Level and Heavy Metal Toxins
Furthermore, a Hair Analysis Report can provide additional information with which to custom design a nutritional program to put you back on the path to vibrant health.
How To Collect a Hair Sample:
The collection of a sample for hair analysis is very simple and absolutely painless. It is obtained by cutting from one to two tablespoons of hair with stainless steel scissors as close to the skin as possible.
Hair must be non-treated. It can be obtained from any part of the body.
Once your hair sample is received testing is then performed by a licensed clinical laboratory through the use of highly sophisticated detection equipment & methods to achieve the most accurate and precise results.
