Mineral levels are critical to the body's homeostasis and toxins are disruptive to the body's ability to function
The results from this test clearly breakdown the importance of each mineral and their relationship to each other. It also calls attention to any toxic minerals that your body is holding on to or unable to release (think mercury and lead)

More common Qs & As
Will I have significantly less hair after I take my sample?
No, most people do not notice a difference.
Can someone help take the sample for me?
Yes, of course. Simply review the instructions with them in advance
Why does testing for minerals matter?
Trace minerals are essential in many metabolic functions and the body cannot make them they way it can with many vitamins. For example:
- Zinc is required to produce, store, and secretion insulin, is active in your immune system, and is required for growth hormones
- Magnesium is required for muscular function and managing mood and stress
- Potassium is required for nutrient transport into cells, which impacts energy and mood
