Preparation for the examination

General

  • Hair should be washed, for example, the day before collection, and should not be sprayed or conditioner-treated. If the hair is dyed, wait approximately four weeks after dyeing (at least 3 cm of regrowth is required)
    . Hair is collected with existing regrowth. If the patient has undergone permanent straightening or other (non-standard) treatments, at least 3 cm of regrowth should be preserved.
    Approximately 3 cm of hair is collected for testing from the scalp, around the back of the head.

Important

Patients receive their test results at the registration desk at 5 Radziwiłłowska Street.
Children can be tested after the age of 4.
Samples brought from outside the hospital will not be accepted for testing.

Description

This is a diagnostic method that assesses a person's nutritional status and the biochemical state of the body. It is a laboratory test that determines the composition of trace elements in hair. Research indicates a correlation between the levels of trace elements in hair and internal organs.
The concentration of elements in the blood can fluctuate with emotional changes or depend on the meal consumed.
Such variability is not observed in hair analysis. This method facilitates the treatment of gastrointestinal diseases (e.g., malabsorption syndrome), dermatological diseases (hair loss and oiliness, psoriasis, eczema, fungal infections, vitiligo), cardiological diseases, neurological diseases, bone and joint disorders, hormonal disorders, toxic element poisoning, and obesity.
The results include a measurement of the body's elemental content (including heavy metals) and a description of mineral metabolism, indicating disease tendencies, as well as dietary suggestions and vitamin and trace element supplementation.
The Hair Element Analysis – Analytical Program identifies the most important elements that constitute the human body and the most important proportions between them. Twenty-four bioelements are measured: calcium, sodium, potassium, phosphorus, zinc, magnesium, iron, copper, molybdenum, cobalt, chromium, lithium, strontium, nickel, manganese, selenium, vanadium, boron, barium, sulfur, silver, silicon, iodine, and tin, as well as five toxic elements: arsenic, mercury, aluminum, cadmium, and lead.
