Our Hair Mineral Analysis Advanced test provides a deeper insight into your mineral balance and long-term toxic metal exposure. Using a small hair sample, this test reflects how nutrients and metals have accumulated in your body over the past one to three months.
This advanced panel is ideal for those wanting a more comprehensive view of mineral status, cellular activity, and environmental exposure beyond standard testing.

The same pathology report format used by hospitals and GPs across Australia.
Every result is shown alongside the normal range. Abnormal results are highlighted in red so you spot them straight away.
Delivered privately within 24-48 hours of testing. Yours to keep, share or print.

Calculated free testosterone is below the lower reference limit. May be associated with symptoms of low testosterone including fatigue, low libido, and reduced energy.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

The Hair Mineral Analysis Advanced test assesses both essential minerals and potentially harmful metals stored within the hair shaft. Because hair incorporates substances from the bloodstream and external exposure as it grows, it offers a stable, long-term record of mineral metabolism and toxic burden.
Unlike blood tests that fluctuate day to day, hair mineral analysis provides insight into patterns of nutrient imbalance and metal accumulation over time. This advanced panel is commonly used to support investigations into fatigue, metabolic issues, hormonal disruption, stress tolerance, and overall functional health.
It is particularly valuable for individuals seeking a broader understanding of how environmental exposure and mineral balance may be influencing their wellbeing.
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.
Toxic Metals included:
Silver (Ag), Aluminium (Al), Arsenic (As), Barium (Ba), Beryllium (Be), Bismuth (Bi), Cadmium (Cd), Mercury (Hg), Nickel (Ni), Lead (Pb), Palladium (Pd), Platinum (Pt), Antimony (Sb), Tin (Sn), Titanium (Ti), Thallium (Tl), Uranium (U), Zirconium (Zr) — helping identify long-term exposure to heavy metals.
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.
