Hair folicle testing of mineral and toxin levels in the body is an accurate method of measurement. Hair levels of minerals and toxins correlate well with levels found in our organs due to exposure in the bloodstream. In a process called keratinization, hair develops in your body and hardens once it breaks through your scalp. Portions of the minerals and toxins that have run through your system over long periods of time accumulate in your hair and become enclosed in the hair during keratinization. This is why a hair folicle sample allows for a good reading of the accumulation of minerals and toxins in your body. Mineral and toxin assessment is valuable because of the important roles these elements play in human health. Minerals function as components of body enzymes and are also needed for proper composition of bone, blood, and the maintenance of normal cell function.
MINERALS
What is the role of minerals in enzymes?
In essence, enzymes
are what give us life. Enzymes are molecules involved in speeding up chemical
reactions necessary for bodily function. Enzymes work to join molecules together
or split them apart. They do this by making or breaking the chemical bonds that
join molecules together.
Most enzymes are composed of a protein, along with an essential mineral, and possibly a vitamin. If an enzyme is lacking the essential mineral or vitamin, it cannot function properly. If the body is provided the necessary mineral or vitamin through diet or nutritional formula, the enzyme is then able to function properly. For example, zinc is necessary for the enzyme that activates vitamin A in your vision. Without zinc in the enzyme, vitamin A cannot be converted to the active form. This deficiency can result in night-blindness.
Many enzymes require additional support in order to perform their function. This support is called a coenzyme--a molecule that functions along with the enzyme. Like enzymes, most coenzymes are composed of minerals and/or vitamins. If the coenzyme is lacking the mineral component, the enzyme is again powerless. Most heavy metals cause major problems in the body because they take the place of the nutritional mineral in enzymes, making them inactive. In turn, higher dietary levels of nutritional minerals help prevent heavy metal toxicity.1
