We need minerals as they are co-factors in many processes.It’s important to test for minerals in hair as we store them in our tissues (teeth, hair, bones) and not our blood.

• Zinc is involved in the production, storage and secretion of insulin and is necessary for growth hormones.

• Magnesium is required for normal muscular function, especially the heart. A deficiency has been associated with an increased incidence of abnormal heart conditions, anxiety and nervousness.

• Potassium is critical for normal nutrient transport into the cell. A deficiency can result in muscular weakness, mild depression and lethargy.

• Excess sodium is associated with hypertension, but adequate amounts are required for normal health.

Requirements for testing: un-dyed hair near the root of the scalp for collection.
