Hair is an excretory tissue for essential, nonessential and potentially toxic elements. In general, the amount of an element that is irreversibly incorporated into growing hair is proportional to the level of the element in the other body tissues. Therefore, hair elements analysis provides an indirect screening test for physiological excess, deficiency or maldistribution of elements in the body. Clinical research indicates that hair levels of specific elements, particularly potentially toxic elements such as cadmium, mercury, lead and arsenic, are highly correlated with pathological disorders. For such elements, levels in hair may be more indicative of the body stores than the levels in blood and urine.
All screening tests have limitations that must be taken into consideration. The correlation between hair element levels and physiological disorders is determined by numerous factors. Individual variability and compensatory mechanisms are major factors that affect the relationship between the distribution of elements in hair and symptoms and pathological conditions. It is also very important to keep in mind that scalp hair is vulnerable to external contamination of elements by exposure to hair treatments and products. Likewise, some hair treatments (e.g. permanent solutions, dyes, and bleach) can strip hair of endogenously acquired elements and result in false low values. Careful consideration if the limitations must be made in the interpretation of results of hair analysis. The data provided should be considered in conjunction with symptomology, diet analysis, occupation and lifestyle, physical examination and the results of other analytical laboratory tests.

Vision ProblemsHow The Process Works
After placing your order, you should receive your hair analysis test kit in the mail in 5-7 business days via USPS.
When you receive the test kit, you will need to review the instructions in the test kit, fill out the test requisition form, and collect your specimen. Then place everything into the prepaid return mailing envelope and drop it off at any USPS office or drop location.
PLEASE FOLLOW CAREFULLY THE INSTRUCTION ON HOW TO COLLECT AND STORE SPECIMEN.
After your specimen is received, it is tested. All aspects of the testing are performed by qualified and licensed laboratory personnel. Once the testing is complete, they are reviewed by the testing personnel under strict quality control rules, and are then passed on to the Laboratory Director for final approval. It is at this point that the test results are available for interpretation by an expert physicians. Each test report is reviewed individually and based on the combination of laboratory results, your symptoms and other information provided by you, an interpretation is rendered. Interpreters may hold the report and order tests to be repeated in order to confirm clinically inconsistent high or low values. When this occurs, the testing process begins all over again.
The test results are electronically emailed to you once they are available and will need to be submitted to your medical provider for interpretation.
