Some claim that hair analyses are far-fetched and pointless. Is that true? We want to take a look at whether and when a hair analysis makes sense.

We will review the process of a hair analysis and discuss what can be determined using a hair sample. Because your hair reveals much more about you and your health than you might think. We want to explore this fascinating topic and discover interesting answers together with you. A hair analysis can be useful in many different areas and life situations to gain insight into your vitamin levels, potential intolerances, or dependencies. But first, let’s talk about what a hair analysis is and how you can easily take a hair sample.

What can I determine with the help of a hair test?

Before we take a closer look at whether a hair analysis is useful and what results we can obtain from a hair sample, we first want to explain how a hair sample is actually taken. We often get questions from you about how to collect your hair. Taking a hair sample is very easy! With our at-home hair sample self-test, you can obtain various results related to your health. We recommend taking the hair sample as close to your scalp as possible, near the hair roots. This way, you get an accurate result. Ideally, you take about five to ten strands of hair. Once you have done this, you can send your hair sample in a small bag to our laboratory. Our colleagues on site then dissolve your hair sample in a specific liquid to test it for various vitamins or potential intolerances.

Surely you have already browsed our shop and noticed that we offer different self-tests. This means you should first ask yourself what exactly you want to achieve with your hair sample. Because in different cases, a hair analysis is useful. For example, if you have noticed that you often experience stomach pain, bloating, or similar symptoms after eating, you might be suffering from an intolerance. In this case, we recommend doing our at-home hair sample self-test, which provides you with information about potential intolerances. Our lab tests your hair samples for various foods and other substances that the human body might react to intolerantly. With the results, you can adjust your diet and benefit from the health advantages. But a hair analysis can detect more than just intolerances! You can also take a hair sample to find out if your body might be suffering from a vitamin deficiency.

Is a hair analysis useful for detecting a vitamin deficiency?

Yes! You can do a hair analysis with us to find out if and which vitamins your body is lacking. Many people suffer from a vitamin deficiency without knowing or noticing it. The symptoms usually develop very slowly and subtly, which is why we sometimes live with a vitamin deficiency for years. With our test, you will be tested for up to 71 minerals. Depending on which at-home hair sample self-test you take, your body will also be tested for Vitamin A, Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B3, Vitamin B5, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B7, Vitamin B9, Vitamin B10, Vitamin B12, Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Vitamin E, Vitamin K2, β-Carotene, and more.

Amino acids, enzymes, vitamins, trace elements, electrolytes, trace elements, and other substances can be found and tested in a hair analysis. All these substances are present in our body cells and hair roots. Therefore, a hair analysis can be useful and provide valuable and helpful results. But you can detect more than just vitamin deficiencies with a hair analysis. Heavy metals, lead, and other harmful substances can also be detected using a hair sample.

Why is a hair analysis useful?

Yes, why do our hair store all this important information? This is because human hair grows very slowly and therefore stores all vital substances as well as toxins. These substances accumulate in your hair, so even short strands are enough to provide results that can reflect the last months to years. The processes in your body and metabolism can be evaluated based on a hair sample.

With a hair analysis, you can find out,

• whether your body suffers from poisoning or chronic diseases,
• whether you and your body carry toxins (heavy metals, nicotine, etc.), or
• if you lack various vitamins or minerals,
• whether you have an intolerance to certain foods or substances, and
• what the general vitamin balance of your body looks like.

As you can see, a lot can be discovered with a hair sample! Therefore, we believe that a hair analysis can be useful to find out certain facts about your own body.
