HTMA is laboratory analysis of elements in a hair specimen. Our US orders are routed to Trace Elements, Inc. The laboratory publishes example reports for its 35-element analysis.

What happens after checkout

We email collection instructions and the laboratory submission form. No physical kit is shipped. You supply the mailing materials and postage, and mail the sample directly to the laboratory using the supplied instructions.
