A hair tissue mineral analysis (HTMA) measures the mineral content of the hair. A sample shows what’s going on inside a person’s cell over the last 3 months, like which nutrients are being used up in response to stress or other physiological processes happening inside your body. We can also use a HTMA to learn about our digestion, blood sugar and thyroid.
Bloodwork is not as helpful, as it looks at the activity outside of the cell. It only gives a snapshot of when the sample was taken.
