Hair Element Analysis
Both toxic and essential elements affect health.
Good health depends in part on having adequate amounts of essential nutritional elements, and low levels of toxic elements.
Hair element analysis shows nutrient status (essential elements) and toxic element exposure for the length of time it took to grow the hair supplied for testing (usually about three months).
Essential Elements
Essential elements are essential because they are needed to maintain health. For example, potassium and sodium are essential for proper heart function, while calcium and magnesium are essential for bone development.
Toxic Elements
Toxic elements usually cause damage by taking the place of essential elements and interfering with their usual function. For example, calcium helps strengthen bone, but lead can take the place of calcium in bone, making bone more porous and less sturdy.
Why Get Hair Element Analysis?
Hair element analysis is an easy and inexpensive way to assess the levels of essential and toxic elements. Less than one gram of hair is needed to test for 45 essential and toxic elements. Rocky Mountain Analytical provides a custom interpretation that explains the patterns of element levels in hair.
