Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (TEI Profile 16) for Equine

Get a Detailed Look at Your Horse’s Mineral Balance and Toxic Load

The Equine Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) Profile 16 is a comprehensive lab test for horses that evaluates 32 minerals and toxic metals through a non-invasive hair sample. Performed by Trace Elements, Inc., a federally licensed clinical laboratory, this analysis offers insights into your horse’s nutritional status, environmental exposures, and metabolic trends — all summarized in an 8–10 page lab report with personalized supplement recommendations.

What’s Included in Profile 16:

• 15 Essential Minerals:
  Calcium, Magnesium, Sodium, Potassium, Copper, Zinc, Phosphorus, Iron, Manganese, Chromium, Selenium, Boron, Cobalt, Molybdenum, Sulfur
  (Crucial for muscle function, endocrine balance, skeletal strength, growth, and overall health.)

• 7 Toxic Metals (8 with optional Antimony):
  Uranium, Arsenic, Beryllium, Mercury, Cadmium, Lead, Aluminum (+ Antimony if selected)
  (These toxic elements can disrupt normal biological function and cause imbalances.)

• 10 Additional Trace Elements:
  Germanium, Barium, Lithium, Nickel, Platinum, Vanadium, Strontium, Tin, Tungsten, Zirconium

• 7 Key Nutritional Mineral Ratios:
  Ca/P, Na/K, Ca/K, Zn/Cu, Na/Mg, Ca/Mg, Fe/Cu
  (These ratios help assess your horse's mineral utilization and metabolic balance.)

• 9 Toxic Ratios:
  Ca/Pb, Fe/Pb, Fe/Hg, Se/Hg, Zn/Cd, An/Hg, S/Hg, S/Cd, S/Pb
  (Used to evaluate how toxic metals interfere with essential minerals.)

• 11 Additional Mineral Ratios:
  Ca/Sr, Cr/V, Cu/Mo, Fe/Co, K/Co, K/Li, Mg/B, S/Cu, Se/Tl, Se/Sn, Zn/Sn

What You’ll Receive:
