What is a Hair Analysis?
Hair Analysis, Hair Mineral Analysis, Tissue Mineral Analysis (TMA) and Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) are all the same thing. It is an analytical test which measures the mineral content of the hair. The hair sample is obtained by cutting hair from the nape of the neck keeping only the first inch and a half nearest the scalp. This sample is then tested in a licensed clinical laboratory using a series of chemical and high temperature digestive procedures with highly sophisticated detection equipment. The results are put in a report showing the very accurate and precise mineral readings.
