A very high, or a very low, hair level may indicate biounavailability of the mineral, Bioavailability refers to the ability of the body to utilize a mineral or incorporate it into an enzyme or other binding site. Bioavailability is perhaps the most critical principle to learn in hair analysis interpretation and nutritional balancing science. Bioavailability is also one of the most important, most complex and least understood phenomena in medical science. Reasons a mineral may become biounavailable include:
This principle explains many facts about hair analysis interpretation. For example, a person with a high level of a mineral often demonstrates symptoms of deficiency of the same mineral. The reason is that a very high reading of calcium, for example, often indicates biounavailability. Nutritional balancing science can help greatly to make minerals more bioavailable by balancing body chemistry.
