What is Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA)?

HTMA testing, or Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis, is a valuable tool for assessing mineral levels and imbalances in the body. By examining hair samples, this test can reveal essential information about an individual's mineral reserves, including vital nutrients and toxic metals. The mineral content in hair reflects long-term exposure and can indicate deficiencies or excesses that may impact overall health. This analysis helps practitioners understand metabolic processes, identify underlying health issues, and create targeted nutritional or lifestyle recommendations to support optimal well-being.
