Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis in Union, KY

A simple lab test of mineral patterns in a small hair sample, reviewed with you as part of a broader look at your wellness.

A different view of your mineral patterns.

Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) is a laboratory test that analyzes a small sample of hair for various minerals and elements. Because hair can reflect mineral exposure over time, it may offer a different perspective than a single point-in-time test.

HTMA is not a standalone diagnostic test for medical conditions. Results are best interpreted alongside your health history, nutrition, lifestyle and other information to help guide personalized wellness recommendations.
