The reference range for minerals in a hair analysis

Establishing the reference range for minerals in hair analysis, allows health care professionals to compare the results with those of a hair analysis test on a specific individual.

Because it is well etablished that deficiencies and excesses outside the reference range will have a metabolic effect, the results of a hair analysis test offer the trained professional an excellent starting point for their investigation into an individual's disease state, or POTENTIAL for disease states.
