What is Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis?
The HTMA lab test is a very unique measurement of the mineral content and mineral interrelations in your body. With a properly obtained and interpreted hair test I can provide information about one's metabolic and overall health status. I am able to see a reflection of how the minerals are working together in the body and how that may correlate to the symptoms you are experiencing. Each mineral plays such an important role in your health and they directly correlate and assist in your many body functions such as metabolic, thyroid, and adrenal health. With the results I am able to create a bio individual protocol based on your health status and goals. It is such an amazing and insightful tool. If you would like to learn more, please contact me via email or phone for a free consult!
The Importance of Minerals!
The HTMA analyzes over 30 of your minerals and heavy metals. Calcium (Ca), Magnesium (Mg), Sodium (Na) and Potassium (K) are four of your main minerals in your body. Utilizing the hair test to make sure they are balanced and functioning optimally is extremely important for so many health parameters. Here are the some of main functions that Ca, Mg, Na, and K do in your body.
Calcium
-The primary structural element
-90%+ of calcium is in the bone and teeth, which act as reservoirs that calcium can be withdrawn as required for extra-skeletal functions
-Regulated in tissues and serum at the expense of skeletal structures
-Controls the nervous system
-Responsible for muscle contractions
-Maintains the pH balance of the body
-Reduces lactic acid build up
-Regulated by the parathyroid and kidneys
-Inhibits thyroid hormone
-Insulin release is dependent on calcium being available
Magnesium
-Intracellular mineral & key element in cellular metabolism
-Needed for both Glycolysis & the Citric Acid Cycle
-Needed for 500 different critical enzyme reactions
-Regulates sugar metabolism & involved in energy production
-Highest concentration are found in muscles, liver, heart and pancreas
-Cell membrane permeability
-Relaxation of the muscle & reduces inflammation
-The "heart mineral"
​
​
Sodium
-Major regulator of the fluid balance, pH and other fluid-related aspects
of the body; the body’s great solvent.
-A primary alkalizer
-Regulated by the adrenal glands (aldosterone)
-Regulates the blood pressure & increased heart rate
-Influences stomach acid levels
-Influences cell membrane permeabilit
​
Potassium
-A primary solvent mineral
-Intracellular mineral
-Regulates the blood pressure with sodium
-Maintains fluid balance & pH level of the body
-Influences cell membrane permeability
-Sensitizes the cell to thyroid hormone
-Nerve conduction of the heart
-Lowers heart rate & dilates arteries
-Regulates the cell membrane potential, cell permeability, sodium pump
