What is HTMA?

Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) is a simple, non-invasive laboratory test that measures the levels of key minerals and heavy metals in a small sample of your hair. Minerals are essential for nearly every process in your body—from energy production to hormone balance. Tracking them can help us better understand your overall wellness picture.

Why Consider HTMA?

  • Identify mineral trends: Learn whether your body might be holding too much or too little of certain essential minerals like magnesium, calcium, and zinc.
  • Gain insight into environmental exposures: Detect the presence of heavy metals such as lead, mercury, or arsenic.
  • Support a personalized plan: Use the information to guide nutrition, lifestyle choices, and targeted supplementation.
  • Non-invasive & easy: No blood draw, just a small hair sample.

What HTMA is Not

HTMA does not diagnose disease. It’s a wellness tool meant to provide additional information alongside traditional medical care. Results should always be interpreted as part of a broader health plan.

How Does the Process Work?

  1. Sample Collection: We cut a small sample of hair (about 1 teaspoon) from the back of your head.
  2. Laboratory Analysis: A certified lab analyzes the mineral content.
  3. Results & Consultation: You receive an easy-to-read report and a 45-minute consult to review your results, answer questions, and discuss next steps.

Who Benefits Most?

  • Those feeling fatigued, stressed, or “out of balance.”
  • Individuals interested in optimizing nutrition and energy.
  • People curious about environmental or heavy metal exposures.
  • Anyone seeking a more personalized wellness plan.
