36+ minerals and toxic metals from a single hair sample
Hair tissue mineral analysis reveals the mineral patterns and heavy-metal exposure behind fatigue, stress and sleep — a metabolic picture blood tests can't capture.
Nutrient minerals
The essential minerals that run your metabolism, energy and stress response — measured at the tissue level, not just in blood.
Toxic heavy metals
Hair is one of the best tissues for spotting heavy-metal exposure that has accumulated over months of everyday life.
Key mineral ratios
Ratios often matter more than any single number — they map your metabolic rate, stress pattern and blood-sugar handling.
Why test hair?
Blood is tightly regulated — it reflects only the last few hours and works hard to keep mineral levels in a narrow range. Hair is different: as it grows, it locks in a stable record of your mineral and heavy-metal activity.
A single small sample captures roughly the last three months of your mineral metabolism — letting your practitioner see imbalances, toxic-metal accumulation and the ratios that map your stress and energy systems, the patterns a one-moment blood draw simply can't show.

How it compares to a standard blood test
Trusted by people getting to the root of how they feel
"I'd been exhausted for months with normal blood work. My HTMA finally showed the mineral imbalances behind it — and a plan that actually helped."
"Easy to do at home, and the report was genuinely clear. Seeing my stress ratios mapped out was eye-opening."
"Worth it. The heavy-metal results explained symptoms I'd been chasing for years."
HTMA Essential — common questions
HTMA is a lab test that measures the levels of minerals and toxic heavy metals deposited in a small hair sample. Because hair grows slowly, it provides a stable, ~3-month record of your mineral metabolism — a longer-term picture than a single blood draw.
Just a small amount from the back of the head — instructions and a measuring scale are included in your kit. Recently dyed or chemically treated hair can affect some readings, so we recommend using newer growth or an alternative sample; full guidance comes with your kit.
Your hair sample is analyzed by the lab and your report is typically ready within about 2–3 weeks of the lab receiving it. Shipping is free both ways across the US.
The Essential package gives you the complete lab report with all your mineral and metal values graphed against optimal ranges — ideal if you already work with a naturopath or functional-medicine provider. If you'd like the results interpreted for you, the Comprehensive package adds a 10+ page custom Report of Findings.
