Hair analysis

Summary of the article

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.

The method

To carry out the analysis, the hair is taken, weighed, cleaned, dried and then weighed again. Each sample is then soaked in an acid solution to make it liquid and analysable for its mineral composition.

  • 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.

The cure

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.

How do we choose your trace elements?

  • 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.

How to proceed?

  • Complete your questionnaires

    Order your kit using the form below. Complete your questionnaire. All your information is useful for our interpretation. It will, of course, remain confidential.

  • Collect hair

    Cut the hair at the nape of the neck, as close to the scalp as possible. Keep only the first 2-3 centimeters. 3 to 5g of hair or the equivalent of a tablespoon.

  • Sending the material

    Your kit includes the questionnaire to complete, the envelope for your hair sample, and a pre-paid envelope to return everything to us. Avoid using aluminum foil to wrap your hair.
