A mineral hair analysis test is superior to a blood test and/or urine test to determine your individual mineral levels because it takes into account data from a long period of time. Hair represents a longer time frame, which might include many years, whereas urine and blood tests only reveal the most recent and current state of the body. Because the constituents are more concentrated in the hair, more sensitive and precise analytical findings can be anticipated.
