Hair Mineral Analysis · our flagship

Comprehensive reports — nutritional elements, toxic metals, ratios and patterns.

The only ISO 15189 Plus™ accredited Canadian hair mineral analysis — a comprehensive ICP-MS panel of nutritional minerals and toxic elements, read alongside an extended set of ratios and metabolic patterns and distilled into a quick report synopsis through the Elemental Burden Index. As a retrospective read of mineral status and cumulative element exposure over weeks to months, it gives practitioners a practical foundation for nutritional and lifestyle support — and a clear baseline to track between tests.

Introducing · the Elemental Burden Index

The Elemental Burden Index — total body burden in one number.

Exclusive to CanAlt. The Elemental Burden Index distils a full hair mineral analysis — mineral imbalances and toxic-element exposure — into a single 0–100 index of total body burden, weighed across the clinical areas it affects: stress, nutrition, hormones and more. See the headline before the detail, and track change between tests. It's an educational index, not a diagnosis.

Food Sensitivity · a tier for every patient

220+, vegetarian, or vegan — choose the right panel.

IgG reactivity by FoodPrint® methodology, in three tiers: the full 220+ panel, a 160-food vegetarian panel, and a 150-food vegan panel — plus inFoods® IBS for targeted gastrointestinal cases.

Read in context

Interpret results, don't just read them.

A number on its own rarely tells the whole story. Every CanAlt report is built to be read in context — reference ranges, mineral ratios, pattern flags and Elemental Burden Index scoring turn a wall of values into a clear clinical picture. So an elevated reading is never just a data point; it's a signal you can trace to stress load, thyroid activity or nutrient status, and turn into a specific, data-driven decision with the patient in front of you.

Scientific and clinical support: never read a complex panel alone. In-house clinical support comes with every order — an optional 15-minute consultation with our clinical team, detailed training in your portal, and AI-assisted report interpretation. Explore the training.
