Hair Health Blood Test
Your hair often reflects your overall nutritional status and can reveal early signs of deficiencies. Healthy hair growth relies on adequate levels of vital vitamins and minerals. This test measures key nutrients scientifically linked to hair health — from iron, crucial for oxygen transport in the body, to B vitamins that support cellular metabolism. Deficiencies in these nutrients may contribute to hair thinning, brittleness, or other hair concerns in some individuals.
