HMD® HAIR MINERAL ANALYSIS & TOXIC METALS TEST

Non-invasive, in-depth mineral & heavy metal screening – from a simple hair sample

If you’re thinking about detoxing – especially heavy metal detox – the smartest first step is to find out what’s really going on in your body.

The HMD® Hair Mineral Analysis and Toxic Metals Test is designed to do precisely that.

Using state-of-the-art Inductively Coupled Plasma – Mass Spectrometry (ICP–MS), the lab can detect minerals and metals at parts-per-billion levels, providing a detailed picture of your mineral status and toxic metal burden. All from a small hair sample you can cut at home.

What does this test measure?

This is not a basic “yes/no” test. It’s a comprehensive panel that looks at:

1. Eight toxic/heavy metals

These are some of the most clinically significant toxic metals in modern life:

• Antimony
• Arsenic
• Aluminium
• Beryllium
• Cadmium
• Lead
• Mercury
• Uranium

These metals can enter the body from water, food, pollution, old paints, industry, dental materials and more.

2. Twenty-nine minerals & trace elements

Key macro-minerals and trace elements tested include:

• Electrolytes & structural minerals:
  • Calcium, Magnesium, Potassium, Sodium, Phosphorus
• Functional & enzyme-related minerals:
  • Copper, Zinc, Iron, Manganese, Chromium, Selenium, Sulfur
• Additional trace elements:
  • Boron, Cobalt, Molybdenum, Germanium, Barium, Bismuth, Rubidium, Lithium, Nickel, Platinum, Thallium, Vanadium, Strontium, Tin, Titanium, Tungsten, Zirconium

This gives a broad overview of your nutritional and metabolic balance, not just isolated numbers.

3. Important mineral ratios

Mineral ratios can often be as crucial as individual values. The report includes key ratios such as:

• Calcium / Phosphorus
• Sodium / Potassium
• Calcium / Potassium
• Zinc / Copper
• Sodium / Magnesium
• Calcium / Magnesium
• Iron / Copper

These ratios can provide insight into the relative balance between adrenal–thyroid activity, stress response, energy production and more (interpreted within the context of the report and/or your practitioner’s guidance).

4. Toxic metal to mineral ratios

The test also looks at how certain toxic metals relate to key minerals, for example:

• Calcium / Lead
• Iron / Lead
• Iron / Mercury
• Selenium / Mercury
• Zinc / Cadmium
• Zinc / Mercury
• Sulfur / Mercury
• Sulfur / Cadmium
• Sulfur / Lead

These ratios may help highlight potential interactions between toxic metals and protective nutrients, which can be useful for planning a targeted detox and nutritional support strategy.

What do you receive?

Once your hair sample reaches the lab and the analysis is complete, you’ll receive:

• A comprehensive, personal report (around 10–12 pages) summarising:
  • Your mineral levels
  • Toxic metal findings
  • Key ratios
  • Graphs or charts (depending on the lab format)
• Written interpretation and guidance, helping you understand where imbalances or excesses might be and how they relate to your overall health picture.

This kind of information can be invaluable when:

• Planning a heavy metal detox programme (e.g. with the HMD® Ultimate Detox Protocol)
• Reviewing your nutritional needs
• Tracking progress over time (e.g. before and after a detox protocol)

Why test hair instead of blood?

Hair offers some unique advantages:

• It reflects longer-term exposure and trends (weeks to months), rather than a single moment in time like a blood draw.
• It’s non-invasive – no needles, no clinic visit.
• It’s easy to collect at home and simple to post.

That makes it particularly useful as a screening and monitoring tool for heavy metals and mineral patterns.

4. Send the sample to the lab in USA or Cyprus
   • Post your hair sample to the designated address in the USA or Cyprus (given in the instructions).
5. Receive your results & recommendations
   • Within approximately 2–3 weeks, you will receive:
     • Your detailed report
     • Personalised results and guidance
   • Sent directly to your email address.

Why pair this test with the HMD® detox system?

The HMD® Hair Mineral Analysis & Toxic Metals Test is the ideal starting point if you’re considering:

• The HMD® Detox Pack
• The 60- or 90-day HMD® Ultimate Detox Packs
• The full HMD® Ultimate Heavy Metal Detox Program (HMD®, LAVAGE, Organic Chlorella, MULTIS)

With proper testing, you can:

• See which toxic metals show up most strongly.
• Review whether key minerals such as zinc, selenium, magnesium and others are low, adequate or high.
• Work with a practitioner (if you choose) to fine-tune your detox and supplementation plan, instead of guessing.

Testing before and sometimes after a detox programme can help you:

• Track changes over time
• Understand how your body is responding
• Make more informed decisions about extending, repeating or adjusting your protocol

Who is this test suitable for?

This test is appropriate for:

• Adults interested in heavy metal screening and mineral balance
• People planning a structured detox programme
• Those with long-term environmental or occupational exposure to metals (e.g. certain industries)
• Individuals who prefer non-invasive testing instead of blood draws

Hair testing can also be done on children, but interpretation and follow-up should always be handled by a suitably qualified practitioner or healthcare provider.

Important notes

• This test is an informational and screening tool and does not diagnose disease.
• Results are best interpreted in the context of your overall health history, symptoms and, ideally, with the help of a qualified practitioner.
• The test and report are for educational and wellness purposes only.

If you’re ready to stop guessing and start working with real data, the HMD® Hair Mineral Analysis & Toxic Metals Test gives you a precise, lab-based look at your mineral balance and toxic metal exposure – all from a simple hair sample, with clear, written results delivered to your inbox.
