Why Hair?
As protein is synthesised in the hair follicle, elements from the body are incorporated permanently into the hair with no further exchange with other tissues. Scalp hair is easy to sample, and because it grows an average of one to two cm per month, it contains a time-based record of element metabolism and exposure to toxic elements.
Is Hair Analysis Useful?
A growing number of peer-reviewed papers support the value of elemental analysis of hair specimens for the detection of exposure to toxic metals. Once metals are incorporated into growing hair there is no back exchange into the body; therefore, the concentration of metals in hair is usually far greater than blood or urine
Hi, I’m Stephen Ward (MSc) from Fairfield Nutrition.
Hair mineral analysis is a valuable, easy to do, and inexpensive test for toxic heavy metals that are released from the body into the hair. This is very important in our increasingly toxic world where heavy metals have been linked to many chronic health conditions.
The test also acts as a screen for deficiency or excess in essential minerals and can be used in conjunction with a patient’s symptoms and other laboratory tests to determine levels of minerals in the body.
