How is the hair mineral analysis performed?

You can collect hair from the head or pubic area. One tablespoon of hair is required for the test (at least 4 cm long). After ordering, we will send you a kit with everything you need to collect the hair. Then simply return your sample to us in the prepaid return envelope provided.

How quickly will I receive my results?

Once we have received your sample, the average response time to receive results is 10-15 working days.

When should I take the test?

The test can be collected at any time during the day. Remember that you should not have dyed your hair 3 weeks before the test and not permed your hair 2 months before the test. Avoid anti-dandruff shampoo before taking the test.

Is the test suitable for children?

No, the test is not intended for children. The reference values are based on adults, which means that the results cannot be interpreted correctly for children. For this reason, we are also unable to assist with the interpretation of test results for persons under 18 years of age.

GetTested’s Hair Mineral Analysis provides a comprehensive insight into your mineral balance and heavy metal levels by analysing hair. This non-invasive test measures 39 different substances to identify nutritional imbalances and toxic exposures. The test is analysed in an accredited and ISO-certified laboratory and measures:

Minerals: Phosphorus, iodine, calcium, potassium, copper, magnesium, sodium, selenium, zinc.
Trace minerals: Boron, cobalt, chromium, iron, lithium, manganese, molybdenum, silicon, strontium, vanadium, zirconium.
Heavy metals: Aluminium, arsenic, lead, cadmium, mercury, nickel, thallium.
Toxic substances: Silver, gold, barium, beryllium, bismuth, gadolinium, palladium, platinum, antimony, tin, titanium, uranium.

To understand the difference between chronic and temporary toxicity, we recommend combining the hair mineral analysis with the Heavy Metal Test. This way, you can distinguish between long-term accumulation and recent exposure.

About GetTested’s Hair Mineral Analysis

Hair mineral analysis is an advanced screening method that provides an in-depth insight into the body’s mineral balance and exposure to heavy metals. The test measures the levels of important minerals and trace minerals, while also identifying potentially harmful heavy metals and toxic substances in the body.

Trace minerals are required in small amounts but can become toxic in higher doses. Heavy metals and other toxic substances can be harmful even in small quantities and are therefore relevant to analyse.

By analysing a small amount of hair, the test offers a non-invasive method to assess your nutritional status and exposure to harmful substances. For those who do not have enough hair on their head, other body hair may be used.

What do we analyse?

The test includes a broad analysis of the following substances:

Minerals: Phosphorus, iodine, calcium, potassium, copper, magnesium, sodium, selenium, zinc.
Trace minerals: Boron, cobalt, chromium, iron, lithium, manganese, molybdenum, silicon, strontium, vanadium, zirconium.
Heavy metals: Aluminium, arsenic, lead, cadmium, mercury, nickel, thallium.
Toxic substances: Silver, gold, barium, beryllium, bismuth, gadolinium, palladium, platinum, antimony, tin, titanium, uranium.

Benefits of hair mineral analysis

Non-invasive and simple: Requires only a small amount of hair, making it a painless and easy process.
Long-term exposure indicator: Hair stores information about the body’s chemical balance over time, providing a more comprehensive picture than blood tests, which primarily show the current state.
ISO-certified laboratory: Analyses are carried out in an accredited and ISO-certified laboratory, ensuring high precision and reliability of the results.

Why hair mineral analysis?

Hair mineral analysis differs from many other tests by providing a long-term overview of the body’s chemical balance. Unlike blood tests, which show a snapshot, this test can offer insight into how various substances have accumulated over time.

The test analyzes a total of 39 substances, including minerals, trace minerals, heavy metals, and other toxic substances, giving a broad overview of your exposure and nutritional status. This information can be used as a basis to identify imbalances and understand prolonged exposures.

The process

Carrying out a hair mineral analysis is simple. After ordering your test kit online, follow the instructions to collect and send in your sample. The sample is then analysed at an ISO-certified laboratory, and you receive a report with your results.

The home test was straightforward with easy to follow instructions. The test result was detailed and clear in its presentation. Also had the opportunity to ask questions about the test result.

Richard

We looked at a lot of companies offering the same services but made the decision to go forward with get tested because the labs are based here in the UK. The process has been very straight forward.

Natasha

There are other providers out there, I have tried 3. Gettested was the fastest and the customer service was the best. I even received my test on the day of purchase delivered by a motorbike courier.

Alan

Absolutely perfect, results came after few days and finally after a lots of times visited GP, we finally know why my son has eczema - he is allergy to carrot. Thanks a lot.

I found them to be professional and not too long a wait for results. Helpful with any after questions. Will be using them again if need be. I highly recommend them.
