Nutri ID: Hair Mineral Analysis (HMA)

Targeted nutrition for a fast-paced world

It's a reality that our hectic lifestyles prevent most of us from feeding our bodies optimally - today’s modern diet, stress, lack of sleep and pollution can place huge biochemical demands on our minds and bodies.

Those conditions deplete our essential nutrient mineral levels and can introduce dangerous heavy metal toxins to our bodies, contributing to imbalances that in turn have the ability to cause a range of physical and mental disturbances.

What kind of health issues can these imbalances cause?

Nutrient mineral and toxic metal imbalances are associated with a wide range of health and fitness issues, from chocolate craving and insomnia to nervous system dysfunction, anxiety, depression, infertility, low energy production, memory loss, skin disorders, immune system weakness, brittle bones, heart failure, anaemia, thyroid problems, adrenal disturbances, digestive disorders, hair loss, inflammation, headaches and mood swings amongst many others.

Who’s it for?

Hair Mineral Analysis is for everyone. HMA offers a quick, easy, non-invasive route to discover what essential minerals you may have too much, or not enough of - both can have serious health implications.

You might be surprised by the results and what correcting nutrient mineral levels and toxic load imbalances can mean for your health, sharpness and energy levels.

By correcting tissue mineral levels and ratios with proper diet and supplementation, many physical and behavioural health conditions, including those of long standing, can improve.

Even if you feel fine, topping up on one or two nutrient minerals can have dramatic effects and lead to an absolute optimum state of wellness, mental sharpness and physical performance.

All you need to do is send us a few strands of your hair.

What will my results look like and how will I know what they mean?

• You get your results in graph form showing a measure of:
  
• 15 nutrient minerals,
  
• 8 toxic metals and
  
• 15 additional minerals in your hair tissue, as well as analysing the important relationship between 7 different pairs of minerals and the relationship between 9 pairs of nutritional elements and specific toxic metals known to be significant for your health.
  

You’ll also receive a personal in depth written report providing analysis of your results, including specific dietary recommendations and a suggested regimen of targeted nutritional supplements which are also available through 3D PTS, but which you don’t have to buy from us or at all. The choice is yours.

There’s also an analysis of your current metabolic rate, what it means for you and your body, the reasons behind it and what you can do about it.

That gives you a really specific picture of any imbalances that might need to be corrected.

So why sample hair?

Hair is tested because it’s a rapidly growing tissue that can be sampled easily and safely. Metabolism occurs in the tissues, not the blood or urine and hair provides a unique biopsy type indication of metabolic activity.

When it reaches the skin's surface, the hair's outer layers harden and lock in a blueprint of nutritional metabolic activity during the past 1-2 months. A properly obtained sample indicates your body's mineral levels and your accumulation of toxic metals over that time period. A blood test cannot do this.

And what’s so good about taking targeted supplements?

Analysing your mineral levels is the first step. Once you know your individual needs, a personalised 3D PTS supplement programme designed just for you can help your body function better and improve your health, enabling you to achieve optimum wellness.

Targeted supplementation based on your personal nutrient profile means you get results you can feel faster, rather than wasting valuable time and money with a trial and error approach that may have a limited impact.

By taking supplements that directly address the specific needs of your body you are making the process of achieving 100% health and vitality much more efficient. If the recommended supplements are taken in accordance with your report’s recommendations, the benefits should be noticed in 10 to 20 days.

We always recommend a targeted supplement course designed just for you based on your individual results, but as we say the choice is yours.

Can’t I just take an all round multi-vitamin tablet?

Taking random levels and combinations of supplements is not recommended. Until you are aware of your body's requirements, taking any supplements may not be helping you. For example, too much iron can contribute to arthritis, high blood pressure, headaches and dizziness. You need the right amount and the right balance of minerals to enable you to operate at your optimum level.

By addressing your body's needs and getting it right first time with targeted supplementation you’re taking a huge step towards improving your well being as well as your long-term health.

How do I get it? Is it complicated?

It’s easy. We send you a hair sampling kit (scalp hair is preferable but other sources are acceptable), you follow the simple instructions and pop your hair sample in the pre-paid addressed envelope. It goes off to the laboratory, and you get the results back in graph form with an extensive interpretive analysis and dietary recommendations.

We’ll send you the sampling kit the same day if you live in the UK and results are usually available in 2-3 weeks. If you live outside the UK, it’ll take a few days longer.
