Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA)Minerals are the spark plugs of life
~Henry A Schroeder M.D, Ph.D |
If you:
Then a HTMA test can give you the assurance you need.
Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis, first became widely available in the 1970s and interpretations developed more extensively as the years progressed. It provides insight into your metabolism rate, your thyroid/adrenal gland performance, toxicity levels, stress, tendency to heart issues, detox capacity, non-localised pain and much more.
The correct balance in your minerals through nutritional supplementation can lead to a reduction and improvement in your symptoms. People have even found a stabilisation of mental health issues by improving severely extreme/depleted minerals.
All aspects of us are definitely connected. And minerals can provide insight into that connectivity between symptoms and function.
- have found that randomly taking friend’s advice, guessing or even muscle-testing your supplements has let to variable results, even created underlying anxiety
- are worried to take supplements in case you make things worse
- want to be able to track your progress towards health

What Does the HTMA Look Like
The HTMA lab test measures a range of elements including:
There are a range of patterns which are commonly seen in the HTMA results and give guidance to the nutritional and lifestyle changes needed to bring the minerals back into a state of balance.
Here are some real-life examples of the nutrition and toxic element panels only, showing commonly recognisable patterns (& other notes) below:
- Nutritional elements (both macro-minerals and trace-minerals)
- Toxic elements
- Additional elements (has some information, but less critical)
- Nutrition & Toxic ratios (very important health indicators)

Here are some real-life examples of the nutrition and toxic element panels only, showing commonly recognisable patterns (& other notes) below:
Mixed oxidation pattern, with high stress (experiencing weight gain, also a smoker)
Fast oxidiser pattern with indicator of lowered vitality (experiencing allergies & tiredness)
4 Lows pattern (long-term depletion of minerals)
TEI/InterClinical chart |
Slow oxidiser pattern, with trending calcium shell & trending copper toxicity
4 Highs pattern & copper toxicity (high stress & bio-unavailability of minerals)
4 Lows pattern (long-term depletion of minerals)

Important Things to Note
- Balancing minerals doesn’t just mean take less X & take more Y as it shows up on the test… that’s the crude approach
- Taking one mineral in excess, will reduce other minerals that are correlated with it, so understanding how minerals interact is also vital. Please get it interpreted properly
- Things can be hidden and tricky with copper & heavy metal toxicity. This takes time to uncover
CONDITIONS THAT ARE IMPORTANT TO DO HTMA
- 4cm of undyed/untreated hair from scalp (not the ends of your hair)
If you have already sourced your own results, please email Leah on invoke.spirit@gmail.com to discuss first as not all labs follow the required process (e.g. it is not recommended to wash the hair sample, and the lab should have a good reputation among HTMA practitioners).
The Process
- Pay for mini-package. This include cost for hair sample mailed to you, lab analysis costs, analysis interpretation & supplement plan and general consultation. Make sure you include your home or postal address.
- You will receive the envelope/form in the mail and an email of instructions to take the hair sample. Book in for your pre-lab chat session.
- After collecting your hair sample, send the hair sample in envelope and filled out form to the lab (pay the labs directly via the form). NOTE - please send to lab as soon as practical, as 4cm roughly represents your last 3-4 months of mineral balance.
- A few weeks later, Leah will receive your results. An email confirmation will be sent for you to book for your interpretation session. Please allow at least 1 additional week for Leah to analyse results.
- During your interpretation session, your lab results and supplement plan will be explained. You can ask any questions for clarification.
- Book in for the catch-up session with Leah after you've purchased your supplements & started taking them for a couple of weeks. We can determine in the session whether the plan needs to be tweaked, establishing a better routine and/or working through any hidden resistances.
Booking in for a Session
