Hair Mineral Analysis in Poway, CA

Hair mineral analysis is a laboratory test that measures the mineral content present in a small hair sample taken from the scalp. The results can show mineral imbalances, possible toxic element exposure, and mineral ratios that may reflect metabolic patterns in the body.

Many people choose hair mineral analysis because mineral balance plays an important role in overall health. This type of testing can offer insight into low or high mineral levels, possible heavy metal exposure, and patterns related to stress, metabolic rate, and how the body uses certain minerals.

Each hair mineral analysis includes the lab test, interpretation by Eidon’s Hair Test Mineral Analysis Practitioner, a customized mineral menu, and a free 30-minute consultation with a Registered Nurse and Hair Analysis Practitioner. This helps turn the lab report into practical next steps.

A single hair mineral analysis costs $125. If two analyses are sent at the same time, the cost is $120 each. If three or more are sent together, the cost is $115 each.

Lab results typically take about 3 to 6 weeks from the time the lab receives your sample. Once the results are available, they are emailed to you, and U.S. customers also receive a printed copy by mail.

Before cutting your sample, wash your hair with your regular shampoo. Do not use dandruff shampoo for at least 2 weeks beforehand, since it may contain minerals that affect results. After washing, avoid conditioners, gels, leave-in products, and other styling products.

The sample should be cut as close to the scalp as possible and taken from the back of the head. You can cut several very small samples to avoid leaving visible gaps, especially if your hair is short.

No. Hair that has been dyed, highlighted, permed, bleached, tinted, or chemically treated within the last 8 weeks should not be submitted. These treatments can affect the sample and may alter the accuracy of the test results.

Hair mineral analysis can show low or high levels of minerals in the hair, undesirable elements such as heavy metals, and mineral ratios that may help indicate metabolic balance. It may also provide insight into dietary or supplement changes that could support better mineral balance.

The analysis includes toxic elements and heavy metals such as uranium, arsenic, beryllium, mercury, cadmium, lead, and aluminum. These findings can help identify possible exposure patterns that may be relevant to a broader wellness plan.

Each hair sample is tested for 36 mineral levels. This includes nutrient minerals, toxic elements, and additional mineral elements, giving a broad look at mineral patterns rather than focusing on just one or two markers.

Hair mineral levels tend to remain more stable over time even when blood mineral levels are changing. Because of that, hair may provide a longer-term view of metabolic activity than a blood test alone.

Once the laboratory sends the results back, our practitioner reviews and interprets them. A customized mineral menu is then created to show which minerals to take, when to take them, and how much to take.

Yes. Every hair test includes a free 30-minute consultation with Eidon’s Registered Nurse and Hair Analysis Practitioner in Poway. This session is meant to help you understand the report, ask questions, and better apply the recommendations to your routine.

No. We believe mineral balancing works best as part of a broader wellness approach. Nutrition, water quality, stress management, exercise, and reducing exposure to toxins can all support better health alongside a customized mineral program.
