Hair mineral analysis is the best way to find out what minerals your body is missing and then you can supplement with them, i see a lot of people take vitamins/minerals and not even be deficent in them while the ones that they are deficent in they are not taking. It also gives you an insight into your levels of heavy metals and if they are too high which could be causing you a lot of problems/symptoms.

Its quite cheap too and very quick all thats needed is a bit of hair for analysis.

^^ Am I correct in thinking that it will only pick up some nutritional deficiencies and not others. And am I correct in thinking that it gives you a history so it is only bigger picture, not an immediate like a blood sample or liver biopsis?

You are right that it will only pick up mineral deficencies and heavy metal overload. And the bigger picture is the main thing... blood tests arent very accurate as they only give you more recent levels of certain vitamins/minerals.

^^ That's what I thought. Blood tests are only really usefull if you get them compared against baselines. Most clinics and MD's compare them against population normal measures, but I'd like to think we are a bit better than normal measures of a population.

I took a baseline measure a couple of years ago and I'll get another done again soon. I'm interested in doing this about every 5yrs so that I know what is being affected as I age. I'd recommend that to anyone.
