Minerals in the body are involved in metabolism, enzyme processes and detoxification. They are important for the proper absorption and use of nutrients. Our bodies are unable to use nutrients without the proper balance of minerals. Without proper mineral balance, often people experience chronic fatigue, weight gain/loss, headaches, depression, osteoporosis, and malabsorption.
Many of these mineral imbalances are revealed in the hair, even before physical symptoms are experienced. Hair Trace Mineral Analysis is a screening test that measures the levels of up to 60 essential minerals and toxic metals. With this test and interpretation, one is able to view a complete metabolic profile of the human body.
