HTMA Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis
HTMA Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis
The HTMA is a non-invasive lab test that uses a small sample of hair to assess your mineral status and toxic metal burden at the cellular level — revealing patterns that a standard blood panel simply cannot show.
Minerals are the spark plugs of the body. They drive every enzymatic reaction, support hormone production, regulate the nervous system, and power cellular energy. When they’re out of balance, the downstream effects show up as fatigue, mood changes, hormone imbalances, thyroid dysfunction, and more.
What This Test Evaluates
- Calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, zinc, copper, iron, phosphorus, and more
- Key mineral ratios reflecting adrenal function, thyroid activity, and blood sugar regulation
- Toxic heavy metals: arsenic, mercury, lead, cadmium, aluminum, and others
- Markers of oxidative stress and detoxification capacity
- Adrenal and thyroid activity patterns
- Copper imbalance: a common and often missed driver of hormonal and mood issues
- Nervous system and metabolic rate patterns

Best For
This test may be helpful if you are experiencing:
- Fatigue, low energy, or feeling “tired but wired”
- Hormone imbalances, irregular cycles, or PMS
- Thyroid symptoms (even with “normal” labs)
- Anxiety, depression, or mood instability
- Brain fog or poor concentration
- Hair thinning or loss
- Sleep issues
- Postpartum depletion or recovery
- Suspected heavy metal exposure or toxicity
- General “I feel off but no one can tell me why” situations
- Preconception planning — mineral status is foundational for fertility and fetal development
Why Hair Instead of Blood?
Blood tests show what’s circulating — but the body tightly regulates blood mineral levels, meaning you can be seriously depleted in tissue and still look “normal” on a blood panel. Hair reflects what has actually been deposited at the cellular level over the past 2–3 months, giving us a far more accurate picture of your true mineral status and toxic metal accumulation over time.
