We have teamed up with CanAlt Health Laboratories to bring you hair mineral analysis testing. CanAlt has over 30 years of experience with hair mineral analysis and has provided us with the following information.
Facts About Your Health
Minerals in the body are involved in almost all enzyme reactions, metabolic activity and detoxification cycles. They are vital for the effective absorption and proper function of nutrients and vitamins. Our bodies cannot utilize vitamins and other nutrients without the correct balance of minerals. Proper mineral balance is essential to avoid chronic fatigue, weight gain/loss, headaches, depression and osteoporosis.
Hair Mineral Analysis
Hair Mineral Analysis is a screening test to measure the levels of up to 60 essential minerals and toxic metals. As hair grows it forms a permanent record of the body’s nutritional deficiencies or excesses. High levels of toxic metals inhibit the body’s ability to process and assimilate specific nutritional elements that are essential to good health and have a proven link to many types of diseases.
Health Problems that may be associated with mineral imbalances or toxic metal excesses
| • ADD/ADHD | • Blood sugar imbalances | • Inability to lose weight |

How to Order: Please call us at 780-904-5006 to order a hair mineral analysis kit, or send us a message via the contact form on our website. Collection kits can be picked up in person from our Spruce Grove, AB clinic during normal office hours, or we can mail a kit to you anywhere within Canada.
The cost is $125.00 + GST. Once your results have been analyzed by the lab, you will receive a copy of your comprehensive report which outlines any imbalances and includes recommendations for diet and lifestyle changes to bring minerals back into normal ranges.
Please Note: If you are not a current client of the clinic, our practitioners are unable to provide further recommendations aside from what is included in your report from the lab. In this case, we encourage you to share your comprehensive report with your preferred healthcare practitioner if you need additional support. Thank you for your understanding.
