Hair Analysis For Toxic Heavy Metals

Hair analysis gives a blueprint of toxic heavy metal exposure occurring during a specific period of time. In fact, it is the time it takes for hair to develop and grow approximately 1-2 inches. This time period is about 3 months.

For example, lead is no longer detected in your blood after a month or so. Why? Because lead is too harmful to allow it to stay in your blood. So, your body will hide it away in tissues like the hair and bone marrow. The bone marrow will hold onto the lead for a very long time. But, the hair will grow pushing the lead further and further down the hair shaft. Eventually the portion of the hair with the lead will fall off or be cut off. As a result, a blood test will not show the lead exposure after about a month. Remember, the hair analysis can continue to show that exposure until that portion of your hair is removed. Indeed, this allows the hair analysis to give you a nice blueprint of the toxic heavy metal exposure.

What is more, toxic heavy metals can lead to symptoms such as fatigue and depression. Toxic heavy metals can also lead to an impaired memory and tumors. While some toxic heavy metals can affect your heart and muscles. This makes it essential to know what you are carrying around inside of you.
