Multi-Element Assay of Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis Retest (Profile 3)
For those of you who have purchased a hair analysis (Profile 1 or 2) from us before by Trace Elements Inc., you can have a re-test done that will show you a comparative analysis of the current results with the previous results along with the computer generated report summary giving dietary and supplement recommendations. This re-test is referred to as a Profile 3 analysis.
A Note Regarding Interpretation of Test Results: If you would like to add a personalized review or interpretation of your test results through a phone/zoom consultation or a comprehensive personalized written summary, please see below for more information or select one of the radio button options above before checkout!
A Note Regarding Receiving your Report: All hair mineral analysis reports are either emailed to you as a pdf attachment or available to you through a client portal. A color printed paper copy can be mailed to you via USPS First Class Mail upon request by typing your request in the "Additional Information" window when checking out, or by contacting us. Unless you request a printed paper copy, you will not receive one, only a digital or online copy. If you select a consult option with your hair analysis that includes a follow-up written summary from our hair analysis specialist, the written summary will be available to you online after you have received your lab report and had your 1 hour or 30 minute consultation.
Your Profile 3 report will include:
- A copy of the current and previous test results (graphic illustration of levels and ratios with reference ranges)
- A complete individualized evaluation and comparison of current mineral levels and ratios with previous test data. Each evaluation will include discussion of changes in mineral patterns, as indicated.
- Recommendations of specific foods and food groups, along with an explanation of why each individual food is suggested.
- Modifications in supplement recommendations as indicated from the tissue mineral analysis and other accompanying clinical test data.
As with the original test, we will mail your submittal form/kit via USPS Ground Advantage and email your test results via a digital pdf attachment, or give you online access to a copy of the test results .

Who Should Get an HTMA Interpretation/Review Consultation?
A consultation is appropriate and ideal for those who are comfortable with and willing to embark on a mineral balancing protocol. A mineral balancing protocol requires the purchase and recommended usage of targeted nutritional supplements to facilitate your optimal health and well-being. Although dietary recommendations will be given as part of your consultation (and follow-up summary), using food alone, is often not enough (or fast enough) to properly bring your body minerals into balance. Depending on the mineral pattern revealed by your hair analysis test, you may need to kick-start certain elemental deficiencies with mineral supplementation in order to have success!
We also recommend utilizing our Evenbetternow® detoxifying clay baths as a way to further speed up your mineral balancing program. Our sodium bentonite clay has a powerful ability to pull toxic metals out through the pores of the skin. Toxic metals interfere with your body's ability to absorb essential nutrients and other important minerals. You can check out our clay baths (one for adults (Blessed Earth®) and one for kids (Kids Clear™) here.
A Note Regarding Purchasing a Consultation or Written Interpretation: It is important that you book your consultation within one month of receiving your HTMA results, so as to ensure the interpretation and recommendations provided by the specialist will most accurately reflect your current body chemistry and mineral levels. If you wait several weeks or months after your testing, the supplement recommendations and guidelines may only be about 50% accurate due to the time lapse.

FAQ's: For Frequently Asked Questions about the Hair Tissue Analysis, please tap/click here.
The most asked question we get is: "Can I do a hair test if I color my hair?" The short answer is yes if your hair color is chemical based and contains zero minerals. However, dyes like Grecian Formula and Henna contain lead acetate which will affect your lead levels or other heavy metals and make your test invalid. Bleach can artificially affect calcium. Please tap/click the link above to view the full answer on this and other commonly asked questions and answers.

A Message for Pregnant & Nursing Mothers:
Pregnancy is a huge undertaking for the body and mineral balancing is incredibly supportive to both you and your baby. Mineral balancing while pregnant is important to support blood volume increasing. Up to 10% of a mother’s stored minerals are lost during pregnancy and more if the baby is breastfed. Working with minerals is a great way to nourish you both.
Although hair analysis is a valuable tool for assessing your mineral, nutritional, and toxicity statuses, the approach to addressing your mineral test results during pregnancy and nursing is much different. It is important to understand this because even if imbalances are found we often cannot fully address them while pregnant or nursing. The focus is put more on supporting the body rather than addressing toxicities during this time. It’s not ideal to push detoxification because these toxicities can be passed in utero and through breast milk.
It is beneficial to test while pregnant or nursing but to significantly address toxicities, that is something to be handled after pregnancy and when nursing has ceased.
We also offer hair tissue mineral analysis for dogs (canine) and horses (equine).
No Refunds!
Please Note: We do not offer refunds on any hair analysis tests, consultations or written reports once you've purchased them. Keep in mind the hair analysis kit submittal form you receive is valid for up to one year in case you need to wait before submitting your hair sample.
