It is interesting compared to blood analysis because blood is a carrier that charges and discharges according to the body's needs. It transports elements and the values vary from morning to evening, whereas hair is not subject to these fleeting variations.
Pour procéder à l’analyse, le cheveu est prélevé, pesé, nettoyé, séché puis à nouveau pesé. Chaque échantillon est ensuite trempé dans une solution acide afin de le rendre liquide et analysable dans sa composition minérale.
The subtleties of an interpretation
Most of us ask them to find out about their deficiencies; in reality, excesses are just as common as deficiencies (in almost 80% of cases). Our food is most often rich and varied, thus ensuring sufficient quantitative intake, but low in quality. This can generate a buildup as harmful to the functioning of the body as deficiencies are.
An excess of calcium in a 28-year-old man is not comparable to that of a 50/60-year-old woman, if only because at this age, there is a loss anyway (calcium is less well fixed due to a decrease in the secretion of calcitonin). It is found in greater quantity in circulating fluids and therefore, the hair will draw more of it.
It is therefore common to find excess calcium in the hair of pre-menopausal or post-menopausal women and we take this into account in our interpretation. This is why it is essential to complete the questionnaire accurately.
Elements analyzed
Minerals
Silver, Barium, Calcium, Chromium, Cobalt, Copper, Iron, Germanium, Lithium, Magnesium, Manganese, Molybdenum, Nickel, Gold, Phosphorus, Platinum, Potassium, Selenium, Silicon, Strontium, Sodium, Sulfur, Vanadium, Zinc.
Heavy metals
Aluminum, Arsenic, Beryllium, Cadmium, Tin, Mercury and Lead.
in trace elements
Following the analysis, we formulate preparations specifically for you, therefore tailor-made. Based on the principle of antagonisms and synergies, we will select the deficient elements but especially those that promote their assimilation and for all the excess elements, their antagonists.
Iron deficiency
We select copper, the main player in the iron assimilation process (catalyzes ferritin and transferrin), but also cobalt, iodine, manganese and molybdenum, co-factors essential to this process.
Excess lead
In case of high lead values, we select its antagonists: calcium, molybdenum and sulfur, provided that they are not already in excess.
A complete mineral assessment of your body through hair analysis: 24 minerals + 7 heavy metals analyzed. Personalized trace element treatment with tailor-made blends, prepared according to your results.
