Body Foundations Mineral Analysis includes  an at‑home Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) that shows your long‑term mineral trends, key mineral ratios, possible heavy metal exposure, and how these patterns relate to your energy, mood, sleep, digestion, and metabolism.

You also get targeted recommendations and supportive resources so you know what to actually do with the information.

A hair test is a non invasive test that can show you long term mineral status that you can not see in traditional lab work. 

Blood tests show what’s happening right now in your bloodstream. HTMA looks at minerals stored in your hair over weeks to months, so it reveals long‑term patterns, not just a one‑day snapshot.

This is especially helpful for chronic issues like ongoing fatigue, stubborn belly weight, brain fog, mood shifts, and sleep problems.

HTMA also emphasizes mineral ratios and stress/metabolic patterns that standard labs typically don’t evaluate.

No prescription is necessary. Our service is designed to make health testing more accessible and convenient. DHA, a registered provider for HTMA, oversees the process. This means you can directly order the test kit without the need for a separate doctor's referral or prescription, streamlining your experience and allowing you to take proactive steps towards understanding and improving your health with ease.

No. HTMA is not a diagnostic test and isn’t meant to diagnose or treat disease. It’s a functional tool that helps you understand mineral patterns, stress responses, metabolic tendencies, and potential heavy metal burdens.

It’s best used alongside your regular medical care, not in place of it. We follow the established interpretation patterns used by the testing lab to give you consistent, research‑informed insights you can use to guide supportive lifestyle, nutrition, and supplement choices.

You’ll receive a kit with clear, step‑by‑step video and written instructions showing you exactly how to collect a small hair sample from spots on the back of your head. It doesn’t require a big chunk of hair and is usually easy to hide.

If you color or chemically treat your hair, we’ll give you specific guidance in the instructions (for example, timing your sample away from recent treatments or using untreated hair from another area when appropriate). We are very strict about how the sample is collected, because good collection leads to more reliable results.

Inside we have a detailed video outlining how to collect the sample step-by-step.
