About HTMA
DON'T PLAY GUESSING GAMES WITH YOUR HEALTH
Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) identifies mineral deficiencies, excesses and toxicities. HTMA is a powerful tool to help understand possible root causes of many chronic and age-related health issues, including poor athletic performance.
Which test do I order?
-
Unless your health professional has recommended another version, always order the HTMA Profile 2 as your first test and follow the report's recommendations for 4-6 months - no longer - then repeat the HTMA test.
-
As above: repeat the test after 4-6 months by ordering HTMA Profile 4 as your second or following test unless otherwise recommended by your health professional.
-
Upon placing your order, we will send detailed instructions about taking the hair sample and a special envelope for collecting the hair. You will send the sample and forms directly to the laboratory in the USA, so you get the report with minimal delay and cost. Note: Do not send the sample without first paying; otherwise, the laboratory will reject it.
-
HTMA Profile 1 and HTMA Profile 3 are not recommended unless you have the input of a health professional with training and experience in interpreting HTMA laboratory testing and its application to the clinic.
-
With each report, we recommend adding the Personalised Diet Plan. The Diet Plan cannot be ordered independently; it is an addition to the HTMA.
-
Once you feel you have achieved your health goals and are steady, we recommend repeating HTMA Profile 3 and the Personalised Diet Plan every 1-2 years or whenever there has been a significant change in health or between athletic seasons.

Personalised Transition Diet Plan
This provides a personalised transition dietary plan based entirely on your hair tissue mineral analysis results. This 22-25 page report includes three complete transition diets, menu plans and a wealth of information covering food preparation, eating habits, modifying one's habits, cooking, shopping and other valuable information.
This report is based on your HTMA report, so it is an addition to the HTMA profiles. Do not order this report without including the HTMA.
Ordering your supplements
Your HTMA report will include lifestyle, dietary and supplement recommendations. If you live in New Zealand you may order from us, either a 30-day, a 60-day or a 90-day supply of the specific vitamins and minerals that the laboratory or Gary Moller recommends for you. All you have to do is email us a list of what you need and we'll do the rest.
