Industry Leading Provider of HTMA Mineral and Metal Laboratory Testing
We are an official provider of HTMA laboratory testing through TEI (Trace Elements Inc). TEI has been recognized internationally as a leader in HTMA laboratory services since 1984, adhering to the strictest industry standards across over 1.5 million specimens assayed.
In addition to offering some of the fastest turn-around times and lowest pricing, through our partnerships we’re also able to provide our clients with the most comprehensive and personalized post-lab test support, along with the leading education services in mineral-based health and HTMA training.
COST EFFECTIVE
“The vast amount of information that can be obtained from HTMA profiles is much more economically feasible than what could be determined from blood testing.”
BEST DETECTION
“HTMA is the best lab tool to detect copper toxicity and its effect on the broader nutrient mineral pattern that is related to both physical and mental health.”
~Dr Malter, PhD
A VITAL HEALTH TEST
“[HTMA] may be the most important health test that exists. Only when you and your doctor know for sure your mineral status and important ratios can you adapt your diet, minerals and supplements to work toward proper balance.”
~Dr. Robert Thompson, MD
Mineral deficiencies and toxicities affect everyone. The conventional over-reliance on blood testing for measuring the body’s mineral status has held back broader understanding of how widespread deficiency and toxicity conditions are, along with their effect on both physical and mental health. HTMA is an important screening tool providing key indicators behind a wide range of conditions affected by mineral imbalance, including: fatigue, adrenal problems, thyroid issues, weight gain, blood sugar problems, depression, anxiety, personality change, hormonal imbalance, insomnia, stress tolerance, osteoporosis, heart attack risk, hypoglycemia, liver and kidney stress, digestive issues, inflammation, PMS, skin problems, and more. Imbalances that show up in HTMA can often identify serious health risks many years before they might show up using other methods. Equally important, HTMA data provides the evidence needed for safer detoxification, along with a roadmap for intelligent nutritional program design.
We proudly provide HTMA testing to the public through the Trace Elements Laboratory (TEI), recognized internationally as a leading provider of HTMA laboratory services since 1984.
Trace Elements Inc (TEI), one of the original pioneering labs for nutritional hair analysis, is a licensed and certified clinical laboratory located in Texas (USA) serving health providers across the globe. TEI uses ICP-Mass Spectrometry, the most modern & expensive analytical technique for routine elemental analysis, and adheres to CLIA guidelines for the highest quality control, precision and reliability.
Here at HTMATest.com, our focus is on providing the Profile 1 and Profile 2 tests (the differences between the two are explained here). Not only do we provide testing at prices lower than most services and practitioners, but we also include Boron at no extra charge (many services either exclude the element Boron to save money, or charge extra for it).
Displayed here is a sample chart showing the 36 minerals and toxic metals being tested.
(Average turn-around time of 2 weeks can of course vary depending on your method of shipping and location. Some clients have even received their lab results within 7 days of placing their order!)

Since blood operates with homeostatic mechanisms, standard blood testing does not reflect the stored tissue levels of metals or cellular deficiencies of minerals. An HTMA reveals a unique metabolic world: intracellular activity, which cannot be seen through most other tests. It also provides a one-of-a-kind view of the body’s broader mineral system and the inter-relationships between minerals and toxic metals. This provides an insightful blueprint of the biochemistry occurring during the period of hair growth, and can help guide intelligent nutrition and detox program design.
