Our Hair Mineral Analysis Test provides a unique insight into your mineral balance and potential toxic metal exposure over time. By analysing a small hair sample, this test reflects how minerals and metals have accumulated in your body over the past one to three months.
Unlike standard blood tests, hair analysis offers a longer-term view of nutrient status and cellular health, helping uncover hidden imbalances that may impact energy, metabolism, hormones, and overall wellbeing.

Calculated free testosterone is below the lower reference limit. May be associated with symptoms of low testosterone including fatigue, low libido, and reduced energy.
Tests the core toxic metals (lead, mercury, cadmium, arsenic, aluminium, nickel) alongside the key nutritional minerals (calcium, magnesium, zinc, copper, selenium, chromium). The foundational hair test at an accessible price.
Hair grows about 1cm per month and locks minerals into the strand as it forms. A 3cm sample reveals your patterns over the last quarter, not just today. The metabolic memory blood tests cannot provide.
Mercury from fish and seafood. Aluminium from cookware and antiperspirants. Arsenic from rice and groundwater. Cadmium from tobacco and air pollution. Hair analysis catches long-term accumulation that blood tests miss entirely.
Calcium and magnesium for nervous system and muscle function. Zinc for testosterone, skin and immune health. Copper for collagen and iron. Selenium for thyroid conversion. Chromium for blood sugar.
If you suspect mineral imbalance or environmental metal exposure, this is the affordable first step. Upgrade to Advanced (35+ elements with ratios) for the comprehensive functional read.
Order online, snip a small hair sample at home using the provided kit, post back in the pre-paid envelope. No clinic, no blood draw, no appointment.

Our Hair Mineral Analysis Test provides a powerful insight into your body’s mineral balance and toxic metal exposure over time. By analysing a small sample of hair, this test reflects how minerals and metals have accumulated within your body over the past one to three months.
Unlike blood tests that show a snapshot in time, hair analysis offers a longer-term view of mineral status, cellular activity, and nutrient metabolism. It can help uncover imbalances that may be contributing to fatigue, poor stress tolerance, hormonal disruption, slow metabolism, or ongoing health concerns.
This test also screens for toxic heavy metals, which can build up through environmental exposure and interfere with neurological, hormonal, immune, and cardiovascular function. The result is a deeper understanding of what your body has been exposed to, what it may be lacking, and where targeted support may be needed.
A valuable tool for those wanting a broader, functional view of their health beyond standard blood testing.
Our Hair Mineral Analysis Test measures both nutrient minerals and potentially harmful metal content in a small hair sample, giving you a picture of what has been accumulating in your system over the past 1–3 months. Hair is an ideal testing medium because minerals and metals become “fixed” as your hair grows, reflecting longer-term exposure and status rather than just a moment in time.
This test assesses a range of essential minerals that play key roles in cellular function and metabolism, as well as toxic metals that can build up from environmental exposure. Heavy metals can interfere with multiple body systems, including cardiovascular, immune, neurological, endocrine, musculoskeletal, and skin health.
By understanding both your mineral status and toxic metal exposure, you gain valuable insight into underlying imbalances that may be affecting your wellbeing and resilience.
