Minerals
and toxins are found everywhere. From the food you eat to the air
you breathe to the water you drink, these elements play a major
role in nearly every facet of your life. And because we're all different
from one another, each of us has our own individual responses to
different toxins. Having proper levels of minerals is vital for
your overall well-being. MineralCheck by BodyBalance assesses
your body's levels of the following 11 minerals and 9 toxic elements
through hair sample:
MINERALS:
Calcium, Chromium, Cobalt, Copper, Magnesium, Manganese,
Molybdenum, Strontium, Sulfur, Vanadium, Zinc
TOXIC
ELEMENTS: Aluminum, Antimony, Arsenic, Bismuth, Cadmium, Lead,
Mercury, Nickel, Tin
SOME
THINGS YOU OUGHT TO KNOW ABOUT SPECIFIC MINERALS AND TOXINS...
| • Calcium,
besides being an important factor in bone development and
maintenance, is also vital to heart and muscle function, and
nerve conductivity. Calcium can be found in dark green leafy
vegetables, dairy products, and canned salmon and sardines.
|
| • Zinc
is influential in sexual function, immune system, hair
growth, tissue aging and digestive function. Dietary sources
of zinc include: meats, nuts, seeds, leafy and root vegetables,
and crustaceans. |
| • Magnesium
can affect cardiovascular function, blood pressure, and
areas of mental health, and poor memory. Magnesium is found
in oatmeal, buckwheat, chocolate, whole grains, and dark green
leafy vegetables. |
| •
Lead attaches to blood and is often deposited in bones,
the brain, adrenal and thyroid glands, and the liver. One
of the most common toxics, lead can be found in water, paint,
cigarettes, cosmetics, some pesticides, and foods such as
meats, garden fruits, and grains. |
| •
Nickel is contained in car exhaust, cigarette smoke,
and industrial waste. |
| •
Mercury can be found in dental fillings, shellfish,
large fish, paints, tattoo dyes, ceramics, and electrical
relays. |
Making sure your body has the proper levels of minerals and low,
levels of toxins can really make a difference in your well being.
MineralCheck can help you make that difference.
WHAT
WE CAN DO...
MineralCheck is a safe, easy-to-use, and reliable screen
that uses a small hair sample to measure your mineral and toxin
levels. Hair samples show the long-term accumulation of minerals
and toxic elements in your system. Hair is nourished from your bloodstream
where minerals and toxics are found. This non-invasive and inexpensive
screen provides you with the accuracy of a laboratory analysis without
leaving the comfort of your own home. When you order your screen,
we'll send you a complete kit. You collect the required hair sample
and send it back to us in the prepaid return mailer provided. Within
7-10 working days of receiving your sample, we'll send your results
to you.
WHAT
YOU CAN DO FOR YOURSELF...
BodyBalance enables you to read your results and compare them to
the general population. You can then work with your healthcare provider
to develop an appropriate program to maintain and promote good health.
WHAT
TO DO NOW... Ordering is as simple as our screens. In
fact, you can order your screens right here on our website. Your
screens will be delivered to you within a few days, putting you

Please Note...
Results and information are for personal use only, are not
intended to diagnose, cure, mitigate, treat, or prevent disease or
other conditions, and are not intended to provide a determination or
assessment of the state of health. Many factors influence mineral
status, and this product reviews only 20 of these factors. Always
consult with a licensed health care professional to interpret screen
results and/or make healthcare decisions. This screen was developed
and its performance characteristics determined by Great Smokies
Diagnostic Laboratory, Inc. It has not been cleared or approved by
the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Before You Start...
There
are no special diet restrictions for the MineralCheck screen.
However, MineralCheck cannot be performed on hair that has
been permed, 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.
Care should be used in the evaluation of MineralCheck
elemental analysis results. Hair treatments or other external
contaminants may affect reported levels of an element. The
laboratory washing procedure will remove those elements which are
soluble, but some treatments make a permanent bond to the hair and
cannot be removed. These contaminants may increase some element
levels.
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.
