The value
Why it's worth knowing
35+ elements: toxic metals and essential minerals in one panel
The comprehensive hair mineral analysis includes the full toxic metal panel (lead, mercury, cadmium, arsenic, aluminium, nickel, plus uncommon metals) alongside 25+ nutritional minerals and trace elements. The depth Level 1 cannot match.
2-3 months of mineral exposure, not a single moment
Hair grows about 1cm per month and locks minerals into the strand as it forms. A 3cm sample reveals your mineral and toxic metal patterns over the last quarter, not just today. The metabolic memory blood tests cannot provide.
Mineral ratios reveal patterns blood tests miss
Calcium-magnesium (energy and stress), sodium-potassium (adrenal function), calcium-phosphorus (thyroid pattern), zinc-copper (immune and hormonal). The ratios are as diagnostic as the individual levels.
Reveals adrenal and thyroid patterns functionally
A sodium-potassium ratio below 2.5 is the biochemical signature of adrenal fatigue. Calcium-magnesium imbalance reveals stress patterns. The functional patterns standard blood thyroid and cortisol tests cannot show.
For unexplained chronic symptoms
Chronic fatigue, brain fog, mood changes, hair loss, hormonal issues, recurring infections, sleep problems and skin issues often trace back to mineral imbalances and heavy metal accumulation that hair analysis catches uniquely well.

At-home test results typically take 2 to 4 weeks from when your sample reaches the lab. The exact timing depends on the test (microbiome mapping, methylation and metabolomics testing all require more advanced lab processes than standard bloodwork). You'll receive the full pathology report by email once it's ready.
Once you order, your kit is posted directly to your address within 1 to 3 business days. The kit includes everything you need (collection materials, step-by-step instructions, plus a pre-paid return mailer). No collection centre visit required.

Yes. Each kit comes with clear, step-by-step instructions designed to be simple to follow. Most samples take 5 to 15 minutes to collect. The instructions cover exactly what to do, when to do it, and how to package your sample for return. If anything's unclear, our team is available to help.
If your sample is compromised on collection or arrives at the lab unsuitable for testing, we'll send you a replacement kit at no additional charge. The instructions are designed to make collection easy and reliable, but mistakes happen and we've built the process to handle them. Just let us know.
Your kit includes a pre-paid return mailer. Once your sample is collected, package it as the instructions show and drop it at any Australia Post box or post office.

A very positive experience
I booked a blood test because my health insurance did not cover GP consultations. The referral form was emailed to me immediately, I walked into a collection centre the next morning and my results arrived the very next day. One result showed an elevated TSH level and because I was pregnant, a doctor from their Sydney office personally called me to talk it through. It made me feel they genuinely cared.

Could not have been better
I've been in remission from Graves Disease for a few years and suddenly had symptoms again. It was easy to choose and purchase the test I needed at a reasonable price and set up the appointment online for the next day. The lab tech was friendly and put me entirely at ease, and the results were delivered electronically within a day or two. Could not have been better.

Efficient from start to finish
I selected and ordered the tests I wanted online, then dropped into the clinic for the blood draw during my lunch break. The process was quick and efficient, and by lunchtime the following day my results had been emailed directly to me. Fast, convenient and hassle-free.

Hair Mineral Analysis (Advanced)
The Hair Mineral Analysis (Advanced) is a detailed advanced hair mineral analysis that uses a small hair sample to give a deeper view of your mineral balance and long-term toxic metal exposure. Like the basic version it reflects accumulation over the past one to three months, but across a wider range of elements.
It is designed for people who want a more comprehensive view of mineral status, cellular activity and environmental exposure than standard testing provides. The broader element range makes it the more thorough choice for anyone seriously investigating long-term mineral and exposure patterns.
The Hair Mineral Analysis (Advanced) is an at-home collection kit needing no GP referral and no appointment. Your kit is delivered to you, you collect a small hair sample at home and return it, and your results follow. For more on minerals and health, Healthdirect Australia is a useful reference.
What we test for
The Hair Mineral Analysis Advanced test measures a comprehensive range of nutrient minerals and toxic metals from a small hair sample, providing insight into your body’s long-term mineral status and environmental exposures. Hair reflects what has accumulated over approximately 1–3 months, offering a broader picture than a single blood snapshot.
Minerals analysed: Boron (B), Calcium (Ca), Cobalt (Co), Chromium (Cr), Copper (Cu), Iron (Fe), Germanium (Ge), Iodine (I), Lithium (Li), Magnesium (Mg), Manganese (Mn), Molybdenum (Mo), Selenium (Se), Strontium (Sr), Vanadium (V), Tungsten (W), Zinc (Zn) — essential elements involved in energy production, cellular metabolism, nervous system function, and more.
The result is a detailed profile of both beneficial and potentially harmful elements as they have been incorporated into hair tissue over time, helping to support functional health insights and personalised wellness planning.
