This test analyses 54 markers specific to mental wellbeing.

 

Method - Hair Analysis (a small amount of hair cut from the nape of the neck)

NO test kit is required for this test.

Easy to follow instructions will arrive in your inbox upon ordering.

 

Items tested:

 

Essential Minerals (Foundational Balance & Enzyme Function)

  • Calcium (bone structure and cellular signalling balance)
  • Magnesium (neuromuscular stability and energy production)
  • Potassium (cellular electrical balance and hydration regulation)
  • Sodium (fluid balance and adrenal-electrolyte support)
  • Zinc (detoxification enzyme activity and immune support)
  • Copper (iron metabolism and oxidative balance)
  • Selenium (antioxidant defence and thyroid protection)
  • Manganese (superoxide dismutase antioxidant activity)
  • Chromium (glucose regulation and metabolic balance)
  • Iodine (thyroid hormone synthesis and metabolic regulation)

 

Heavy Metals (Toxic Burden Indicators)

  • Lead (neurological and cognitive stress load)
  • Mercury (nervous system and cognitive function stressor)
  • Cadmium (kidney and mitochondrial stress marker)
  • Aluminium (neurological and brain tissue burden indicator)
  • Arsenic (metabolic and detoxification stress load)
  • Nickel (immune and skin sensitivity burden)
  • Thallium (neurological and mitochondrial toxicity indicator)
  • Antimony (detoxification pathway stress marker)
  • Uranium (radiological and oxidative stress indicator)
  • Beryllium (immune and respiratory stress marker)

 

Environmental Chemical Load

  • BPA (endocrine-disrupting chemical exposure marker)
  • Phthalates (hormone disruption and metabolic load)
  • Pesticide residues (neuroendocrine stress burden)
  • Herbicide residues (detoxification pathway stress load)
  • Petrochemical exposure markers (liver detoxification stress)
  • Solvent exposure markers (neurological stress load)
  • Industrial chemical residues (systemic toxic burden)
  • Plasticizer load (endocrine and immune stress indicator)

 

Detoxification & Elimination Pathways

  • Phase 1 liver detoxification efficiency
  • Phase 2 liver conjugation capacity
  • Glutathione (primary intracellular detox system)
  • Metallothionein activity (heavy metal binding and clearance)
  • Bile (fat-soluble toxin elimination)
  • Lymphatic system (interstitial toxin clearance)
  • Kidneys (urinary toxin elimination)
  • Gut elimination efficiency (bowel detox pathway function)

 

Oxidative Stress & Cellular Protection

  • Glutathione (GSH/GSSG ratio)
  • Superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity support
  • Catalase enzyme activity
  • Oxidative DNA stress markers
  • Mitochondrial oxidative stress load

 

Organ System Impact

  • Liver detoxification capacity
  • Kidney filtration efficiency
  • Brain neurological sensitivity
  • Thyroid sensitivity to toxic load
  • Immune system reactivity pattern
  • Gut barrier integrity (intestinal permeability)
  • Skin detoxification response patterns
  • Lymphatic system congestion markers

 

Body Systems Affected

  • Detoxification system (liver, kidney, gut clearance pathways)
  • Nervous system (central and peripheral neurotoxicity response)
  • Endocrine system (hormone disruption from toxic exposure)
  • Immune system (inflammatory and hypersensitivity response)
  • Cardiovascular system (circulatory toxin transport burden)
  • Gastrointestinal system (absorption and elimination efficiency)
  • Lymphatic system (interstitial detoxification flow)
  • Mitochondrial energy system (cellular toxicity impact on ATP production)

 

HealthSense uses a small sample of your hair to assess a wide range of items. This is possible because hair shafts are hollow and act as storage vessels for substances carried through the bloodstream—such as antibodies, nutrients, hormones, heavy metals, and more. As these substances circulate in the body, they are deposited from the blood stream into the hair shaft, allowing them to be detected and analysed without the use of invasive testing methods such as blood testing
