Hair has a long history of successful use in detecting chronic exposure to toxic heavy metals in humans and animal models because hair concentrates heavy metals several hundred fold above concentrations found in blood. When any of the toxic heavy metals are elevated in hair, there is reason to investigate the origin of exposure. High levels in hair may reflect early chronic exposure before other signs and symptoms appear.

Metametrix nutrient analysis features:

• Testing with the latest advances in technology (ICP/MS), which can guide therapy by pinpointing imbalances of these important substances.
• A cost-effective approach for monitoring nutrient and toxic elements.
