HTMA stands for Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis, a non-invasive lab test that measures mineral levels and toxic metals stored in your hair.

Unlike blood tests that show a moment-in-time snapshot, HTMA reveals long-term patterns in your body's chemistry, helping uncover imbalances that may be affecting your energy, metabolism, mood, and overall health.

Your BioTestMe HTMA test analyzes:

• 11 Essential Minerals (like Magnesium, Calcium, Sodium, Potassium)
• 5 Toxic Metals (like Lead, Mercury, Aluminum)
• Additional Trace Minerals
• Key Mineral Ratios that reflect how your body functions

In total, your report evaluates 27+ biomarkers to uncover deeper patterns in your health.

This test helps uncover hidden imbalances that may be contributing to symptoms like:

• Low energy or fatigue
• Brain fog or poor focus
• Weight struggles
• Poor sleep
• Mood swings or stress
• Digestive issues
• Hormonal imbalances

Instead of guessing, you'll finally understand what's actually going on inside your body.

Blood tests measure what's happening right now.

HTMA shows what your body has been doing over the past 2–3 months.

This makes it incredibly powerful for identifying:

• Chronic stress patterns
• Long-term mineral depletion
• Slow vs fast metabolism (oxidation rate)
• Toxic metal accumulation

Think of it as a metabolic blueprint, not just a snapshot.

It's simple and takes just a few minutes:

• Cut a small hair sample from the back of your head
• Place it on the provided scale to ensure correct amount
• Put it in the collection envelope
• Mail it to our lab using the prepaid mailer

No needles. No appointments. 100% from home.

Once your sample reaches the lab:

• Testing is completed within 7–10 business days
• You'll be notified when your results are ready
• Access your report anytime through your BioTestMe account

Your results are interpreted using the BioTestMe clinical framework, developed in collaboration with experienced practitioners.

This ensures your report is not just raw data—but clear, actionable insight into your health.

Yes, depending on your package:

• Essential: Lab results only
• Advanced: Results + interpretation
• Complete: Results + interpretation + personalized nutrition protocol

Your protocol is designed to help:

• Rebalance minerals
• Support metabolism
• Improve energy and overall function

Based on your results, you'll have access to a custom-compounded nutrition formula designed specifically for your body.

• No guesswork
• No handfuls of pills

Trying to fix your health with random supplements can lead to:

• Imbalances getting worse

Your personalized formula is:

• Precisely dosed
• Based on your actual data
• Designed for your body's unique chemistry

Absolutely.

HTMA is:

• Non-invasive

Yes, this test is suitable for most people, including:

• Adults of all ages
• Individuals struggling with unexplained symptoms

If you're looking for answers beyond standard testing, this is for you.

This is one of the most common reasons people take this test.

You can feel "off" even when your labs are "normal."

HTMA helps uncover:

• Subclinical imbalances
• Functional deficiencies
• Patterns that traditional testing often misses

No special preparation is required.

Just follow the instructions provided with your kit and avoid chemically treated hair (like dyed or bleached hair near the sample area if possible).

Once your report is ready:

• Review your results inside your BioTestMe account
• Understand your mineral patterns and imbalances
• (Optional) Order your personalized nutrition formula
• Start restoring balance and improving how you feel

Because we focus on what most health approaches miss:

• Root-cause analysis, not symptom guessing
• Clinical-grade HTMA testing
• Clear, easy-to-understand reports
• Personalized solutions based on your data
• No appointments, fully at-home

Test. Don't guess.

Due to the nature of lab testing, once your kit has been used or submitted, it is non-refundable.
