Hair tissue mineral analysis at Tx Bar

Minerals play a fundamental role in almost every function your body performs – from energy production and nerve signaling to hormone regulation and immune response. When they’re out of balance, you can feel it, even when standard testing doesn’t show why.

At Tx Bar, we offer hair tissue mineral analysis (HTMA) as a way to look deeper at what might be going on inside your body at a cellular level. HTMA is a non-invasive laboratory test that analyses a small sample of your hair to assess your mineral status and the ratio of key minerals to one another spanning a period of 2-3 months.

We partner with Interclinical Laboratories, one of Australia’s leading providers of HTMA testing, to ensure you receive accurate, clinically meaningful results. Your test is reviewed and your results are discussed with you by your Registered Nurse so you leave with a clear picture of your individual results and a practical path forward.

Who is this for?

HTMA may be worth exploring if you’ve been experiencing persistent fatigue or low energy, brain fog, low mood or heightened anxiety, changes to your hair or skin, or ongoing digestive concerns that haven’t been fully explained by previous testing.

At Tx Bar we also perform Vitamin Therapy and Vitamin injections in our Geelong clinic, if you are currently doing Vitamin therapy it can also a valuable tool to gain a clearer picture of their nutritional status and how you may be able to optimise it further.

HTMA is not a diagnostic test and is not a substitute for medical care. Our team will always let you know if what you’re experiencing warrants further investigation with your GP or refer you on to a specialist.

 

What do we test for?

Hair Mineral Analysis testing can test for 36 Nutrients and toxic minerals as well as 27 significant mineral rations. Some examples can include Magnesium, Potassium, Zinc, Lead, Calcium and Mercury. there are many conditions that can be affected by mineral imbalances. Some common reasons our patients see us are for fatigue, hair loss, skin problems, acne and immune impairment. If you are needing support with hair loss, our Geelong nursing team offer free consultations to discuss concerns and assist in developing a treatment plan.

 

How it works

HTMA testing at Tx Bar is straightforward. A sample of hair is collected from the nape of your neck- and sent to the laboratory for analysis. Your results are then reviewed with you during your consultation, where our team will walk you through what they mean in the context of how you’ve been feeling.

We offer two options depending on where you’re starting from.

Single consultation — $300

This option includes your initial 15-minute consultation with one of our nurses, your HTMA test, and a personalised results review. It’s a great starting point if you want to understand your mineral profile and get clear, evidence-informed guidance on what your body may need.

The 8-week wellness plan — $850

For those who want to go further, our 8-week plan combines your HTMA test and results consultation with targeted nutritional IV therapy and a vitamin B12 administration — all tailored to your individual results. This plan is designed to support your body in a structured, sustained way over eight weeks, rather than a single appointment.

Your plan unfolds like this:

  • Your initial consultation and B12 administration at week one
  • Your results review and first customised vitamin infusion at week three
  • Finish with your second Vitamin infusion at week 8

Each infusion is formulated based on your individual HTMA results, so what you receive is specific to you.
