Advantages
Since hair grows slowly,
the test results are substantially more meaningful
than examinations of blood or urine that may show merely the conditions
on the day that the sample is collected. The collection of a
sample for hair
analysis is very simple and absolutely painless you need only cut a
few strandsof hair with scissors. You receive the evaluation of your
analysis
directly. On the basis of the results, you can decide for yourself
whether,
and in what form, medical help is appropriate.
We use
atomic absorption spectrometry to carry out our hair analyses. The hair
to be inspected is first degreased and cleaned, then dissolved in acid
and,
through the application of extremely high temperature, broken down into
its individual components. This method allows very precise
measurements of
the quantities present of mineral nutrients, trace elements and toxic
minerals.
