This non-invasive at-home test uses a small amount of hair to test for toxic and essential elements.
Toxic elements may be 200 to 300 times more highly concentrated in hair than in blood or urine. Therefore, hair is the tissue of choice for detection of recent exposure to elements such as: arsenic, aluminum, cadmium, lead, antimony, mercury, copper and much more. This test checks for nearly 40 elements. It is essential to know levels of soft essential and trace minerals which are provided in this test, see the sample report below.
The CDC acknowledges the value of hair mercury levels as a maternal and infant marker for exposure to neurotoxic methyl mercury.
