Testing Services: Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA)
Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis Test Results
 

Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis testing ensures that you have adequate amounts of essential nutrient minerals and that their relationships to one another (ratios) are optimal. The HTMA also alerts you to any toxic metal levels in your body. Therefore the HTMA is a valuable screening tool which allows an appropriate program of diet and supplementation to be designed for each individual's specific needs.

FREE CONSULTATION — This service includes a complimentary follow-up consultation with Kristina Amelong, CCT, CNC, in which she will help you interpret your results and make suggestions for your health.

IMPORTANT! If you are ordering this test for someone else (e.g., a family member) to take, please include the test-taking individual's full name in the ORDER COMMENTS box upon checkout to ensure we can match the lab results to your order and therefore be able to email the results to you.

NOTE: If you select free standard shipping at checkout, you will not receive an email when the HTMA ships, because there is no tracking number for this shipping method. We always ship HTMAs within 48 hours of purchase. Standard shipping via USPS can take up to 2 weeks to arrive.

HTMA Ratios Explained!

Kristina Amelong, CCT, CNC walks you through the key mineral and heavy metal ratios that are tested through a hair tissue mineral analysis (HTMA). These key ratios provide valuable insight into adrenal health, thyroid health, hormonal health, your body's inflammatory response, and more.

How the Testing Process Works

  1. When you order a Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA), we will mail you a testing kit in a regular envelope, which you should receive within 7-10 days.
  2. The accuracy of a mineral analysis depends upon many factors. While our lab partner, Analytical Research Labs, is responsible for the technical aspects of the test, the results will only be as good as the raw material or sample that is received. For this reason, the more care that you exercise sampling your hair, the better the results will be. LEARN MORE
  3. After you send the kit directly to the lab with your hair sample (per the instructions provided), it takes approximately 10-14 days for Optimal Health Network to receive the test results from the lab.
  4. We will email a PDF of the test results to you within 2-3 days after we receive them from the lab. These will be emailed to the email address associated with your Optimal Health Network account.
  5. When you receive your test results from us, please fill out our secure client intake form. After you submit the form, you will receive a link to schedule your complimentary 15-minute consultation with Kristina via her booking calendar.
  • IMPORTANT! If you are ordering this test for someone else (e.g., a family member) to take, please include the test-taking individual's full name in the ORDER COMMENTS box upon checkout to ensure we can match the lab results to your order and therefore be able to mail the results to you.
  • NOTE: If you select free standard shipping at checkout, you will not receive an email when the HTMA ships, because there is no tracking number for this shipping method. We always ship HTMAs within 48 hours of purchase. Standard shipping via USPS can take up to 2 weeks to arrive. If you need faster shipping, there is a trackable priority shipping option at checkout for $8.95.

I did the HTMA for both my son and I. I got a lot of information about what's going on below the service that I hadn't gotten from blood tests. It really sheds light on why we are experiencing the symptoms that we are and we are really hopeful to be able to heal now that we can address the real issues. Kristina was very thorough and informative.

I just reviewed my HMTA with Kristina and for once have felt like i am on the right track to healing. She explained everything thoroughly and laid specific guidelines for me to follow. I look forward to jumping right into the protocol and supplements and am already eager to retest in a few months. Such an empowering experience!

5 of 5 Hair Tissue Mineral analysis (HTMA) Review October 3, 2023
Verified Purchase
Reviewer:
Anonymous Customer
 
Initially I had a question about the HTMA kit and my question was answered promptly.
I ordered the kit and followed the clear instructions.
I liked that the unneeded entries were marked out (using a big squiggle through that region of the form)
The little balance (scale) worked fine for me to send the proper amount of hair. The balance made a distinct toggle when I placed my hair sample on it.
I have received my HTMA Results
I still plan to make use of my included 15 minute consultation .
I have not set that up yet.

It was a relief to talk to Kristina today about my hair testing form. Her suggestions and recommendations are spot on for my present health conditions. Her manner is caring and interested, supportive and understanding. I found the entire process to be professional, reliable and absolutely worth the money spent. I would recommend this lab and company most highly to anyone interested in customized support for a better lifestyle and a healthier, longer life.
