DNA Report and Hair Mineral Test

Hi All

I am doing a post with the information because I am aware that I promised to send this to several people and life keeps getting in the way so apologies.

I obtained these reports via a Functional Nutritionist and she wrote an additional more personalised plan for me based on the results.

The mineral hair test was with Mineral Check, based in Kent and was around £70 from memory.

The DNA methylation test was via Lifecode Gx which I think is a US based organisation and the cost was around £200 from memory.

I have found both tests extremely useful in tailoring and targeting my application of supplements to treat and manage my PA.

I have also had subsequent reports which I have yet to receive on other issues such as metabolism and toxins. If I learn anything that assists with my recovery I shall let you know.

all the best everyone

🤗🤗🤗

I took a Vitiman and Minerals hair test from 5Strands and found the results helpful in my self treatment.

"Difference From Blood Testing: Unlike traditional blood tests measuring physical nutrient

presence in the blood, the 5Strands test assesses the body’s ability to properly absorb

nutrients, omitting reference ranges found in traditional blood test results."

I’m waiting for my hair analysis report, it is due today. Looking forward 🤞to seeing if it gives me some further insight into my deficiencies (or not!).

Hi Chickens

That’s great. I hope unlike me you didn’t accidentally take your hair sample from a highly visible location. I looked like Woody Woodpecker for months!! 🤣🤣

Ha ha, no did the back of my head, but not easy to see so took off more than I needed. So there are a couple of bare patches, but underneath.
