Hair Mineral Analysis
GetTested hair and mineral analysis provides a comprehensive insight into the body's mineral balance and heavy metal burden through a hair analysis (or nail analysis). In this non-invasive test, which detects imbalances in diet and toxic load, 39 different substances are measured. The test is carried out in an accredited and ISO-certified laboratory.
Our hair mineral analysis is combined with the heavy metal test to obtain a complete understanding of chronic and temporary toxicity. This dual method distinguishes between long-term accumulation and current burden.

About GetTested’s Hair Mineral Analysis
Hair mineral analysis is an advanced screening method that provides an in-depth insight into the body’s mineral balance and exposure to heavy metals. The test measures levels of essential minerals and trace minerals, while also identifying potentially harmful heavy metals and toxic substances in the body.
Trace minerals are needed in small amounts but can become toxic in higher doses. Heavy metals and other toxic substances can be harmful even in small amounts and are therefore relevant to analyse.
By analysing a small amount of hair, the test offers a non-invasive method to assess your nutritional status and exposure to harmful substances. For those who do not have enough hair on their head, other body hair can be used.
What do we analyse?
The test includes a broad analysis of the following substances:
- Minerals: Phosphorus, iodine, calcium, potassium, copper, magnesium, sodium, selenium, zinc.
- Trace minerals: Boron, cobalt, chromium, iron, lithium, manganese, molybdenum, silicon, strontium, vanadium, zirconium.
- Heavy metals: Aluminium, arsenic, lead, cadmium, mercury, nickel, thallium.
- Toxic substances: Silver, gold, barium, beryllium, bismuth, gadolinium, palladium, platinum, antimony, tin, titanium, uranium.
Benefits of Hair Mineral Analysis
- Non-invasive and simple: Requires only a small amount of hair, making it a painless and easy process.
- Long-term exposure indicator: Hair stores information about the body’s chemical balance over time, offering a more comprehensive picture than blood tests, which primarily show the current state.
- ISO-certified laboratory: Analyses are performed at an accredited and ISO-certified laboratory, ensuring high precision and reliability of results.
Why Hair Mineral Analysis?
Hair mineral analysis differs from many other tests by providing a long-term view of the body’s chemical balance. Unlike blood tests, which show a snapshot, this test can provide insight into how different substances have accumulated over time.
The test analyses a total of 39 substances, including minerals, trace minerals, heavy metals, and other toxic substances, offering a broad overview of your exposure and nutritional status. This information can be used as a basis to identify imbalances and understand long-term exposures.
The Process
Conducting a hair mineral analysis is easy. After ordering your test kit online, you follow the instructions to collect and submit your sample. The sample is then analysed at an ISO-certified laboratory, and you receive a report with your results.

The home test was straightforward with easy to follow instructions. The test result was detailed and clear in its presentation. Also had the opportunity to ask questions about the test result.

We looked at a lot of companies offering the same services but made the decision to go forward with get tested because the labs are based here in Europe. The process has been very straight forward.

There are other providers out there, I have tried 3. Gettested was the fastest and the customer service was the best. I even received my test on the day of purchase delivered by a motorbike courier.

Absolutely perfect, results came after few days and finally after a lots of times visited GP, we finally know why my son has eczema - he is allergy to carrot. Thanks a lot.

I found them to be professional and not too long a wait for results. Helpful with any after questions. Will be using them again if need be. I highly recommend them.
