How do Minerals and Toxins Affect me?
Minerals and toxins play a major role in many aspects of life.

This is just a sample of how minerals and toxins can affect your health.
Make sure your body has the proper levels of minerals and low, harmless levels of toxins.
How does the test work?
MineralCheck uses a small hair sample to measure your mineral and
toxin levels. Hair samples show the long-term accumulation of minerals and toxins in
your system. Hair develops out of your bloodstream where the minerals and toxins are
found. This non-invasive and inexpensive health screen provides you with the accuracy
of a laboratory analysis without leaving the comfort of your own home.
Simply follow the enclosed instructions and mail your sample to Great Smokies Diagnostic
Laboratories. Your results will be mailed directly to your home within seven business
days.
Are there any restrictions I should know about?
There are no special dietary restrictions for the MineralCheck health
screen. However, MineralCheck cannot be performed on hair that has been chemically treated,
dyed or bleached in the past two months. Also, shampoos with dyes, colorings or special
chemicals must be discontinued for three days prior to cutting hair sample. We recommend
using Johnson & Johnson baby shampoo three days before collecting sample. Your hair must
be dry when collecting the sample.
If the hair is short, stainless steel thinning shears may be used. You may find the sample
collection process easier to complete with the help of a family member or friend.
