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.

The Hair Mineral Analysis (Basic) is a hair mineral analysis test that uses a small hair sample to reveal how minerals and metals have accumulated in your body over the past one to three months. This longer-term window is what makes hair analysis different from a blood test, which captures a single moment.
By analysing your hair, it reflects mineral balance and potential toxic metal exposure over time, helping uncover hidden imbalances that may affect energy, metabolism, hormones and overall wellbeing. It is a useful starting point for anyone interested in a longer-term view of their nutrient and exposure status.
For a more detailed version, the Hair Mineral Analysis (Advanced) covers a wider range of elements. For a current blood-based mineral picture, the Complete Heavy Metal & Mineral Screen is an option. You can also create your own blood test.
The Hair Mineral Analysis 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.
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.
