چکیده
We are frequently asked, what does hair analysis reveal about heavy metals? First, heavy metals are so ubiquitous in our environment that everyone is exposed to them. They cannot be avoided completely and are found in virtually everyone to some degree.

It is also generally known and accepted that HTMA reflects the accumulation of these metals within the tissues of the body, providing a record of long-term intake, retention, or excretion of various metals. What is less recognized, but a fact nevertheless, HTMA also provides an indication of the interrelationships between nutritional minerals as well as the interrelationships between nutritional minerals and heavy metals.
