Minerals & Toxic Metals – Hair Analysis
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. The levels of elements in hair are correlated with levels in organs and other tissues.
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 bring about significant improvements.
Why this test is important:
Many elements are considered nutrients and are essential for the proper functioning of the body. These are generally divided between macrominerals such as calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium and zinc, and trace minerals including selenium, iodine, boron and molybdenum.
Conversely, there are a number of elements that are toxic to the human body, interfere with its functioning and undermine health—such as mercury, lead, cadmium, aluminum, and arsenic. These toxic metals have no known physiological functions. They can be toxic to organ systems and may disrupt the balance of essential nutrients. Toxic metals and essential element status can be assessed in urine, blood, feces and hair.
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. The CDC acknowledges the value of hair mercury levels as a maternal and infant marker for exposure to neurotoxic methylmercury from fish.
You should consider testing if you have:
- Toxic element exposure
- Excessive fish consumption
- Alopecia
- Depression
- Fatigue
- Malabsorption
- Hypertension
- Impaired glucose tolerance
- Impaired kidney function
- Parkinson's-like symptoms
- Sexual impotence or decreased testosterone production
- Vision problems

Let customers speak for us
from 1056 reviewsExpert Advise & Fantastic Choices
I've been coming to the Apothecary for years for supplements that I read about and seek their advice on efficacy and best form of ingestion to get the True Value of some of the nutrients and minerals we may be lacking. The staff is always friendly and knowledgeable and explain the differences between Brands and formulations of supplements that, to an uninformed person, would look to be identical. I count on their advice and appreciate their expertise.

Excellent Service All-Around
I had a wonderful experience at Village Green Apothecary. Their staff is top notch in regards to both fund of knowledge and customer care. Gail, the owner, was extremely pleasant taking time to have a one on one conversation with me. Brian also showed himself to be extremely well read, passionate, and driven in this field. You won’t regret coming here for your health needs.

Organic Chamomile with Lavender
Magsoothium
I've been using essential oil balms for aches and pains, and they definitely help but their smell is rather strong. Magsoothium cream, by contrast, has a mild, pleasant flowery smell. I use it when I go out and do find it effective for moderate pain. I also use it at bedtime on my calves, as the magnesium helps with leg cramps which often wake me up - and it might be helping me to sleep better as well! I first ordered the small size to test it out, but took advantage of a recent sale and ordered two of the large size.
Great Service
I appreciate how Village Green supplies the order quickly and efficiently!
One stop shopping

THORNE RESEARCH
5-Hydroxytryptophan
1 review
$39.00
$39.00
5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is the intermediate metabolite produced when the body initiates the process of converting the essential amino acid L-tryptophan to serotonin. Serotonin levels in the body are associated with the regulation of sleep, mood, aggression, appetite, temperature, sexual behavior, and pain sensation.*
Supplementing with 5-HTP to facilitate serotonin production is preferable to supplementing with L-tryptophan because, unlike L-tryptophan, 5-HTP cannot be shunted into niacin or protein production.* Supplementation with 5-HTP bypasses the conversion of L-tryptophan into 5-HTP by the enzyme tryptophan hydroxylase, the rate-limiting step in the synthesis of serotonin and a step that can be inhibited by a number of factors, including stress, insulin resistance, increasing age, and deficiencies of vitamin C, folate, and iron.
5-HTP is well absorbed when taken orally, with about 70 percent ending up in the bloodstream.*
Intestinal absorption of 5-HTP does not require the presence of a transport molecule and is not affected by the presence of other amino acids; therefore, it may be taken with meals without reducing its effectiveness.* 5-HTP easily crosses the blood-brain barrier and effectively increases central nervous system (CNS) synthesis of serotonin.*
5-HTP has been shown to have a beneficial impact on mood, discomfort associated with fatigue, sleep, and carbohydrate craving.* Numerous studies of individuals with negative mood status have shown significant positive response with 50-300 mg of 5-HTP daily.*
To further facilitate serotonin production, Thorne Research's 5-HTP formula contains pyridoxal 5'-phosphate, the active form of vitamin B6 and the necessary cofactor for the conversion of 5-HTP to serotonin.* 5-HTP is commercially produced by extraction from the seeds of the African plant, Griffonia simplicifolia.
Two Capsules Contain: Vitamin B6 (as Pyridoxal 5'-Phosphate) 6.8 mg. 5-Hydroxytryptophan 100 mg.
Other Ingredients: Microcrystalline Cellulose, Hypromellose (derived from cellulose) capsule, Leucine, Silicon Dioxide.

Amino Complex is NSF Certified for Sport®. It supports sports-related, fitness-related, and training-related activities, and it promotes the increase of muscle mass for someone needing that benefit, including the elderly. Amino acid supplementation can decrease fat synthesis, improve redox status, and promote energy production via activation of NRF-2 and PGC-1alpha. Amino acids also promote mitochondrial biogenesis – the body's internal production of energy. The comprehensive blend of essential amino acids in Amino Complex is high in branched-chain amino acids, a group of amino acids that have been validated through numerous clinical trials to promote the growth of lean muscle mass and enhance muscle strength. This active ingredient formulation in Amino Complex is backed by more than 25 years of scientific and clinical research. Amino Complex comes in two flavors, lemon and berry, and is lightly sweetened. It mixes easily with warm or cold liquids, has no artificial sweeteners, and contains flavors only derived from natural sources.
Because an athlete needs to know that his or her supplements are trustworthy and compliant, every batch of an NSF Certified for Sport® product is tested for compliance with label claims and to ensure the absence of more than 200 substances banned by many major athletic organizations, including stimulants, narcotics, steroids, diuretics, beta-2 agonists, and masking agents.
Mix 1 scoop with 6 ounces of water one to two times daily or as recommended by your health professional.
