HTMA, or hair tissue mineral analysis, is a test that examines the mineral content in your hair. This test can highlight deficiencies or imbalances in essential minerals, aiding in health assessments. It’s a non-invasive method to help you understand your body’s needs.
To collect your hair sample, cut 1-2 inches from the roots of your hair, typically from the back of your head. Make sure the hair is clean and free from any chemical treatments. Place the sample in the provided envelope and send it to our lab.
Before the test, avoid taking any mineral supplements for at least 2-3 days. This helps ensure that the results accurately reflect your body’s mineral levels. Always consult your healthcare provider if unsure.
Results of the HTMA test typically take about 7-10 business days to process. Once completed, you will receive a detailed report outlining the findings and recommendations tailored to you.
For most people, retesting is recommended every 6-12 months, depending on your health goals and conditions. This allows you to monitor changes and make informed decisions about your health journey.
HTMA is a reliable method when conducted by trained professionals. It’s important to understand it as part of a comprehensive health strategy, and not just a standalone test.
Interpreting your results requires context. If you have questions, it’s best to discuss them with a healthcare provider one of the STMD health professionals familiar with HTMA.
HTMA results can be used to guide dietary choices, focusing on what minerals you might need more of or less of in your diet.
If your results show abnormalities, don’t panic. It’s an opportunity to seek guidance from a healthcare professional on how to address those issues effectively.
