Your hair is the secret to learning more about your health
Reveals Mineral Levels and Metabolic Activity in Your Cells
Your health depends on key mineral levels inside your cells, as they activate the vitamins and enzymes to fuel your body. Blood tests measure levels outside cells, and the two are often not related. Did you know most magnesium is stored inside cells, whereas less than 2% is stored in blood? This means blood is a poor indicator of your magnesium levels.
Detects Hidden Imbalances
Most health concerns are associated with a particular balance of minerals. Adjusting those minerals and their associated vitamin levels is often the most critical factor to restoring better health. You can have a normal blood test and still have hidden cellular mineral imbalances that are revealed in a hair test.
Detects Toxic Exposures
The body needs to keep your blood pure and uncontaminated, so it works to quickly remove toxic heavy metals and instead stores them deep within your cells, which can be revealed in your hair. By acting as a receptacle for heavy metals, hair tests will effectively pick up metal toxicity.
Stable, Long Term Reading
Your hair provides a long-term record of nutrients and toxins affecting your vitamin and mineral balances and overall metabolic activity. On the other hand, blood tests are subject to minute by minute fluctuations based on activity and food eaten most recently.
The Honed Difference
lifestyle surveys
Relies on self-reported symptoms vs. real data
Doesn’t address the root cause of nutrient imbalances or health concerns
Generalized nutritional support
blood tests
Measures extracellular mineral levels (outside your cells) which doesn’t reveal hidden vitamin or mineral imbalances
Unable to reveal toxic heavy metals
Subject to minute by minute fluctuations based on activity, emotions, and food eaten recently
Invasive needle or finger prick. Sample measured in viles or mililiters
honed metabolic test kit
Measures mineral levels and ratios inside your cells for a holistic understanding of what is affecting your metabolism
Reveals ongoing metal toxicity as cells act as a receptacle for heavy metals
Provides a long-term, stable reading of nutrient and toxin intake
Non-invasive, requires a mere tablespoon of hair
why most people need supplements
Most people need to supplement vitamins and minerals for optimal health. Here’s why.
Stress
Even good stress like exercise can put a strain on mineral and nutrient reserves.
Dietary Choices
Improper supplementation and consuming substances like alcohol, pharmaceuticals and other drugs can strain and disrupt nutrient balance.
Synthetic fertilizers
They deplete soil of key minerals, so any plants (or animals) raised on that soil are missing most vitamins and minerals. This can make the foods you eat incomplete, robbing you of nutritional support.
Toxins
They deplete your body of vital vitamins and minerals required for detoxification and tissue repair. Toxic metals and chemicals can be found in food, water, air and in everyday products like cosmetics and household cleaners.

Honed has made a profoundly positive impact on my health and wellness
I’ve lost weight, my skin glows, have smoother digestion, and more energy & focus which has resulted in better outcomes at work. The hair test is what makes all the difference. In this process I learned that my regular women’s daily vitamins were giving me too much calcium, which was making me sluggish and causing digestive issues. Honed has set my body and mind on the right track.
