ONE OF NORTH AMERICA'S LEADING H.T.M.A. ASSESSMENT SERVICES

We are a leading provider of lab testing through TEI (Trace Elements Inc). TEI has been recognized internationally as a leader in HTMA laboratory services since 1984.  Head consultant Rick Fischer is one of the world’s leading experts in mineral-based health education, HTMA instruction, and copper toxicity research.

HTMA provides advanced nutritional testing for cellular mineral deficiencies and stored toxic metal status, and offers a blueprint for nutrition / detox protocols that can support energy, performance and overall health. 

COST EFFECTIVE

“The vast amount of information that can be obtained from HTMA profiles is much more economically feasible than what could be determined from blood testing.”

BEST DETECTION

“HTMA is the best lab tool to detect copper toxicity and its effect on the broader nutrient mineral pattern that is related to both physical and mental health.” 

~Dr Malter, PhD

A VITAL HEALTH TEST

“[HTMA] may be the most important health test that exists. Only when you and your doctor know for sure your mineral status and important ratios can you adapt your diet, minerals and supplements to work toward proper balance.”

~Dr. Robert Thompson, MD

Industry Leadership in

HTMA TESTING

Beyond vast experience having personally reviewed thousands of Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis cases, founder Rick Fischer has also helped train many of today's HTMA practitioners. Rick is also co-founder of the annual HTMA Virtual Summit, working alongside industry pioneers and experts to improve the integrity of authentic HTMA application.

MINERAL-BASED HEALTH EDUCATION

Our “Mineral Mastery Program” is the original mineral-based nutrition course bringing mineral-based health education to the general public as well as practitioner training. Over the years, Mineral Mastery has proven to be a key training resource used by hundreds of wellness practitioners as part of their education on HTMA and mineral-based health.

COPPER TOXICITY SUPPORT

Through our various educational sites, free support resources, courses, and international research endeavors, we have been the leader since 2014 in increasing copper toxicity support & education for both public awareness as well as practitioner training.

Did You Know?

“Mineral deficiencies and toxicities affect everyone.  An over-reliance on blood testing for measuring the body’s mineral status has suppressed the broader understanding of how widespread these deficiency and toxicity conditions are, along with their effect on both physical and mental health.  HTMA is an important screening tool that provides key indicators behind a wide range of conditions affected by mineral imbalance, including: fatigue & adrenal problems, thyroid issues, weight gain, blood sugar problems, depression, anxiety, personality changes, hormonal imbalances, insomnia, reactivity to stress, osteoporosis, risk of heart attack, hypoglycemia, liver and kidney problems, digestive issues, inflammation, PMS, skin problems, and more.  It can often identify serious health risks many years before they might show up using other methods. Equally important, HTMA data provides the evidence needed for safe detoxing along with a roadmap for intelligent nutritional program design.”
