When is this test useful?
This hair analysis for heavy metals can be used if there is a desire to obtain information about possible exposure to heavy metals as well as about the mineral and trace element status .
The examination serves as an orienting classification and can be considered in addition to other laboratory analyses.
What is being tested?
This hair mineral analysis includes:
- 19 heavy metals
- as well as 20 physiological minerals and trace elements
examined.
The analysis includes interpretation of the measured values. A version without interpretation is also available.
Hair mineral analysis can provide clues about:
- possible heavy metal contamination
- Deficiency states
- or excesses of minerals and trace elements
delivery.
Tested heavy metals
The following metals are being examined:
Aluminum, bismuth, gadolinium, gold, platinum, silver, antimony, arsenic, beryllium, lead, cadmium, nickel, palladium, mercury, thallium, titanium, uranium, zinc, zirconium.
Background to hair analysis
Hair can store substances over extended periods. Therefore, hair analysis offers a complementary perspective to other test materials such as blood or urine.
The results allow for a broader temporal perspective on certain stresses and mineral status.
Interpretation of the results
The analysis is supplemented by a written interpretation . This serves to classify the measured values based on common reference ranges.
The interpretation does not constitute a medical diagnosis and does not replace a medical examination, but can serve as a basis for further steps.
Instructions for the elimination of heavy metals
