Description

Practitioner interpreted mineral balance assessment for children

Hair Mineral Analysis is a non-invasive test that provides insight into mineral levels and patterns over time. It can help identify trends related to nutrient intake, stress response, and overall mineral balance in children.

Professional written interpretation is included with all testing.

Who This Test May Be Helpful For

This testing pathway may be appropriate for children experiencing:

  • Picky or restrictive eating
    • Low appetite or limited food variety
    • Fatigue or low energy
    • Frequent illness
    • Growth concerns
    • Skin, hair, or nail changes
    • Signs of possible mineral imbalance

It may also be considered when dietary intake appears limited and further clarity around mineral patterns is desired.

What This Test Explores

Hair Mineral Analysis provides insight into:

  • Essential minerals such as calcium, magnesium, zinc, copper, iodine and selenium
  • Key mineral ratios that influence stress response and energy balance
  • Patterns that may reflect longer-term nutrient trends
  • Exposure markers for environmental and toxic metals

Results are interpreted alongside dietary intake and symptoms to identify patterns that may be contributing to your child’s presentation.

Hair analysis does not diagnose nutrient deficiencies in isolation and is not a substitute for blood testing where clinically indicated.
