# Minerals & Toxic Metals Hair Analysis +

## **Minerals & Toxic Metals Hair Analysis**

Many elements are considered nutrients and are essential for the proper functioning of the body. Conversely, there are a number of elements that are toxic to the human body and can interfere with its functioning and undermine health. For example, mercury, lead, cadmium, aluminum, and arsenic can be toxic to organ systems and disrupt the balance of essential nutrients.  

Hair analysis for toxic and essential elements can help determine if metal toxicity or mineral deficiency is contributing to a disorder, monitor the effects of chelation (elimination of heavy metals from the body), and identify if supplementation of important minerals may be beneficial.  

Hair analysis provides important information regarding recent and ongoing exposure to potentially toxic metals, such as mercury and arsenic. As protein is synthesized in the hair follicle, elements are incorporated permanently into the hair. Scalp hair is easy to sample, and because it grows an average of one to two cm per month, it contains a "temporal record" of element metabolism and exposure to toxic elements.  

Toxic elements may be 200 to 300 times more highly concentrated in hair than in blood or urine. Therefore, hair is the tissue of choice for detection of recent exposure to elements such as arsenic, aluminum, cadmium, lead, antimony and mercury.
