Sampling Instructions
Hair provides a record of past and current trace element levels. As hair grows, nutrient and toxic elements are deposited from the blood stream into the hair follicle and hair shaft. Once a trace element has been incorporated into the hair, it remains fixed. To measure these values reliably and with good reproducibility, the following criteria applies:
Untreated head hair that is cut from the occipital area (back of head) is the preferred sample.
Substitutes for head hair are pubic hair or clippings of finger nails (underarm hair is not acceptable).
Because some sample loss results from thorough washing, an adequate amount of sample (about 2-3 Teaspoons filled with hair) is needed for the analysis.
DO NOT MIX different sample types (i.e. hair with nails).
Hair roots are NOT needed. Hair that has been chemically treated (“permed”, dyed, bleached, or otherwise treated) WILL NOT provide accurate results. If the hair has been treated, it should be allowed to grow for at least 2-3 months before new sampling.
Hair analysis results are falsely elevated by:
Colouring or tinting agents, which often elevate a number of trace elements or toxic metals. Since today’s cosmetic industry uses many different chemical agents, we have no way of accurately determining their effects. Bleached and/or “Permed” hair results in altered levels of calcium, magnesium, zinc, copper, nickel and other metals.
Procedure to prepare sample:
Hair
Part the hair in the middle of the back of the head, and pull it out and up.
Cut a small 1.5 to 2 inch (4.5 to 5.5 cm.) strand of hair close to the head. DISCARD ends of long strands and KEEP less than 2 inches (less than 5.5 cm) closest to the scalp.
Place hair in sampling envelope, fill out the Sampling Instructions Form with the appropriate information and send to Hope Australia P O Box 137 Parkville VIC 3052 Australia.
Short hair
Trim a minimum of 0.300 grams of hair from the back of the head. Use thinning scissors, if possible.
Place hair in sampling envelope (paper), fill out the sampling Instructions form with the appropriate information, and send to:
Hope Australia P O Box 137, Parkville, VIC 3052, Australia
Pubic hair
Trim a minimum of 0.300 grams of pubic hair with normal scissors.
Place hair in paper envelope, fill out the Sampling Instructions Form with the appropriate information and send to
Hope Australia P O Box 137 Parkville VIC 3052 Australia
Nails
We need a minimum of 0.200 grams (200mg) of unpolished nails. This equals about 1/2 of a filled teaspoon.

International Services
Toxins are our specialty, and the laboratory tests we provide relate to chronic intoxication and related orthomolecular issues, both for humans and animals.
We test metals in environmental samples such as water, we analyse medication, human tissue, nutrients, food and cosmetics.
We work internationally and receive samples from around the world. Sample submission from countries afar is no problems, simply because metals, if samples properly, do not spoil. For instance, a blood, urine, or water sample for metal testing is not time-sensitive.
Ask us if you have questions about sample submission, or send a mail to hair@smile.org.au
Test kits are provided upon request.
Why Biomonitoring?
Human Biomonitoring is a scientific technique for assessing human exposures to environmental agents and their effects, based on sampling and analysis of an individual’s tissues and fluids. While blood, urine, breast milk and expelled air are most commonly measured, hair, nails, fat, bone and other tissues may also be sampled. This technique takes advantage of the knowledge that environmental agents that have entered the human body leave markers reflecting this exposure. The marker may be the agent itself or a breakdown product, but it may also be some change in the body resulting from the interaction of the agent or its breakdown product(s) with the individual, such as alterations in the levels of certain enzymes or other proteins which may lead to modifications of normal body processes

Reference Ranges (RR)
In health-related fields, a reference range (RR) usually describes the variation of a measurement or value in healthy individuals. The standard definition of a RR in laboratory medicine is usually defined as the prediction interval between which 95% of values of a reference group fall into.
Detection Limit (DL)
The DL, also known as LOD (Limit of Detection), is the lowest amount of an analyte in a sample that can be detected, but not necessarily quantitated as an exact value. The DL may be expressed as
DL = 3.3*SD/S
where SD = standard deviation of the response and S = the slope of the calibration curve.
Limit of Determination
This is the lowest concentration or value of an analyte that can be identified and quantitatively measured.
Blood Metal Analysis
Blood is a transporting and circulation system, providing tissues with minerals, trace elements including toxins. Metals circulate in the blood stream for approximately 72 hours, after which they are naturally excreted or deposited in various body tissues.
Elevated blood metals indicate immediate exposure, reduced concentrations of essential minerals and trace elements reflect an inadequate intake and may be a sign of a nutritional deficiency.
Whole blood levels reflect the intra- and extracellular metal concentration; serum and plasma levels indicate extracellular levels only.
View Whole Blood Sample Report
To confirm acute metal toxicity, further diagnostics may be needed such as an appropriate provocation test.
To confirm or rule out longterm exposure, hair analysis is recommended.
Nutrient Metals
Nutritional deficiencies reduce detoxification potentials.
A zinc or copper deficiency reduces SOD (Superoxide Dismutase) function, thus blocking the Phase 1 Detoxification Cycle. Chelating Agents such as EDTA or DMPS easily bind trace elements such as zinc and copper.
Manganese deficiency reduces the function of the detoxification enzyme MnSOD; manganese intoxication can induce Pseudo Parkinson (which is easily treated via detoxification). Blood tests are important to adequately diagnose the nutritional status.

Hair Mineral Analysis
Hair provides a record of past and current trace element levels.
Unlike blood, hair is an inert substance that consists of a fibrous protein and trace elements. As hair grows, nutrient and toxic elements are deposited from the blood stream into the hair follicle and hair shaft. Once a trace element has been incorporated into the hair, it remains fixed.
Sample taking is painless, and sample shipping is not time dependant.
Hair analysis testing requires meticulous sample preparation, during which the sample is freed from external contaminants. Sample analysis is performed using the same instrumentation and criteria as laboratory diagnostics require for metal testing of blood and urine.
Hair analysis, when properly performed, is a reliable measure of tissue levels. Source: Jenkins DW. Toxic Metals in Mammalian Hair and Nails. EPA Report 600, 1979.
Hair Analysis
Material needed:
To measure hair metal values reliably and with good reproducibility, the following criteria must be met:
- Only use chemically untreated head hair.
- If the hair has been treated, it should be allowed to grow for at least 2-3 months before new sampling.
- Alternatives to head hair are pubic, beard or chest hair. Also see Nail Analysis
- Do not mix different sample types (i.e. hair with nails).
- If the hair has been treated, it should be allowed to grow for at least 2-3 months before new sampling.
Hair samples do not have to be washed before submitting to testing. We enforce strict washing procedures with metal-free solutions. We follow a multiple validation process to assure analytical results and we double-test when unusual results are noted.

Nail Metals
Physiologically, nail can depict the history of recent imbalances. As the American Academy of Dermatology has stated in its webpage, nail has been used as a diagnostic tool since ancient times. Nutrient deficiencies, drug reaction or poisoning can be located through nail analysis. Nail mineral analysis reflects toxic exposure as it happened during the period of growth.
Micro Trace Minerals established reference ranges for nails in the 1980s.
Nail Mineral Analysis – an alternative to hair
Fingernails and toenails are made of a tough protein called keratin. Along with hair and teeth they are an appendage of the skin. These tissues accumulate metals that circulate in the blood stream, due to the growth pattern both hair and nail reflect past or chronic exposure.
The average nail growth has been noted by different authors between 2-3mm per months, and is considered about 1/3 the growth rate of hair. A complete nail replacement may take between 3 to 6 months, and toenails require 12 to 18 months. The actual growth rate is dependent upon age, gender, season, exercise level, diet, and hereditary factors. Pregnancy causes a change in nail growth as it does in hair growth.
Heavy metals in nails – Research
Biological materials are widely used as a bio-indicator for environmental Pollution with heavy metals. Among These are hair and nails, which are also recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) for worldwide environmental Monitoring. Heavy metals Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn were determined in fingernails and scalp hair from different sexes and ages of school children, adults and workers from polluted and unpolluted Areas of Aswan, Egypt. The results reveal that people living in polluted Areas show higher concentration of metals in nails and hair. The study proves that nails and hair can be used successfully as biological indicators for the assessment of heavy metal Pollution.

Comparing the Metal Concentration in the Nails of Healthy and Cancer Patients Living in the Malwa Region of Punjab, India with a Random European Group – A Follow up Study
British Journal of Medicine and Medical Research, Vol. 5, Issue 4
Micro Trace Minerals Research Article Abstract:
The cancer prevalence in the Malwa region of Punjab (1089/million/year) is much higher than the national average cancer prevalence in India (800/million/year). In our previous study on hair metal analysis, we located a high metal burden in Punjabi cancer patients and their live-in relatives, suggesting that an excessive metal exposure is a factor in the pathogenesis of cancer. The present study focused on nail metal analysis, a biological material similar to hair. Previously, we had used ICP-MS spectroscopy to confirm high exposures to aluminium (Al), barium (Ba), manganese (Mn), lead (Pb), uranium (U and other metals in the hair of Punjabi cancer patients and their healthy relatives (Blaurock-Busch et al. 2014). In this study, we used nail metal analysis to confirm the results of our previous study.
We compared the nail metal concentration of healthy Punjabis (N=83) with randomly selected healthy Europeans (N=83) and found highly significant differences between the European and Punjabi groups, including the healthy and the cancer groups.In comparison, our European group showed a low percentage (0 to 13%) of pathological values for aluminium (Al), barium (Ba), cadmium (Cd), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), nickel (Ni), lead (Pb), strontium (Sr), titanium (Ti) and uranium (U), while the healthy Punjabi groups showed between 13% and 99% pathological values for these elements.
The greatest metal burden was found in the breast cancer group (N=13), showing 100% pathological values for Al, Fe, Mn and U. This study supports previous research, which demonstrated a significant metal burden in Punjabi people. Water, soil, and phosphate fertilizers may be the cause of this excessive exposure.
Selenium in Toenails
PREDICTORS OF SELENIUM CONCENTRATION IN HUMAN TOENAILS

To assess the validity of the selenium concentration in human toenails as a measure of selenium intake and to determine other correlates of toenail selenium level, the authors examined toenail selenium within two subgroups of a large cohort study of US women. Mean toenail selenium was higher among 38 consumers of selenium supplements (0.904 µg/g, standard deviation (SD) 0.217) than among 96 nonusers (0.748 µg/g, SD 0.149; p<0.001), and a dose-response relation was observed among supplement users (Spearman’s r=0.32; p=0.05). In a second subgroup of 677 women, selenium supplement use was also associated with higher mean toenail selenium (0.906 µg/g, SD 0.214, among 18 users and 0.801 µg/g, SD 0.148, among 659 nonusers; p=0.02), and the dose-response relation was also significant (Spearman’s r=0.50; p=0.03). The geographic variation in toenail selenium levels was consistent with the geographic distribution of selenium in forage crops. Toenail selenium declined with age and was significantly reduced among cigarette smokers (mean=0.746, SD 0.124, among 146 current smokers and mean=0.817, SD 0.159, among 311 never smokers; p<0.001) but was not materially affected by alcohol consumption.
Conclusion:
These data provide further evidence for the validity of toenail selenium as a measure of selenium intake and indicate the need to control for age and cigarette smoking in epidemiologic studies of the health effects of selenium exposure.
Metals in Saliva
Many studies have confirmed the corrosion of dental alloys. Garhammer et al reported that specific metals such as silver, gold, chromium and others were higher in saliva of patients with metal restorations as in control patients. The researches stated that ‘The metal content of saliva is affected among other things by intraoral metal restorations.*
Through saliva metal testing we can detect how amalgam metals of fillings or crowns are released into saliva. Systemic metal exposure should be confirmed through additional diagnostics.

Amalgamfillings and Dental Materials – Cause of oral health problems?
Summary
The number of amalgam fillings and dental alloys of 86 female patients were recorded. The salivary and urinary concentrations of mercury were determinated by atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) and the concentrations of various metallic components (silver, copper, tin, gold, palladium, platinum, cobalt, molybdenum, indium, gallium) were analysed by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The saliva concentrations of mercury were also determinated after chewing gum and the urinary concentrations of mercury and tin 45 minutes after application of 250mg DMPS (dimercaptopropane sulfonate). The salivary concentrations of mercury, silver, tin and the urinary mercury excretion after DMPS correlated significantly with the number of amalgam fillings, In contrast, there was an inverse significantly correlation between the urinary tin excretion after DMPS and the number of amalgam fillings; also between the urinary tin after DMPS and mercury in saliva before chewing. Possibly there are competitive interactions between the urinary excretion of mercury and tin. Dental alloys shows no effects of the mercury release from dental amalgam. Presumable oral galvanic elements do not exist. Our results showed, that the urinary excretion of metals before DMPS is unsuitable to value the metal burden due to amalgam fillings and dental alloys.
