HTMA is a safe, non-invasive laboratory test that involves collecting a small hair sample to measure and give comparisons of various minerals, metals, and trace elements at the cellular level. Since hair is a metabolic end product, it reflects the body’s mineral content over approximately three months, offering insights into long-term exposure. Unlike blood and urine tests, which provide a snapshot of the current state of the body, hair analysis captures a longer time frame, resulting in a more sensitive and accurate assessment of mineral imbalances and toxic metal exposure.
