Hair Loss Profile
For some people, hair loss is a temporary condition that resolves itself. However, with many potential causes, it can be difficult to determine the root problem without proper testing. This profile (SP40) is the essential first step, covering the most common nutritional, hormonal, and biochemical markers linked to hair thinning and loss.

Your Appointment Day
Fasting is required for 8 to 12 hours before this test to support accurate glucose and metabolic results. You may drink plain water. A qualified phlebotomist will take a small blood sample from your arm. The process is simple and takes only a few minutes. Booking an early morning slot online is recommended due to the fasting requirement.
What Is Included?
This extensive profile evaluates the core building blocks of hair growth, ruling out hormonal interference, nutritional deficits, and systemic imbalances.
Vitamins & Minerals
Evaluates key nutrients that support hair follicles and hair protein formation.
Hormones & Thyroid
Analyses glands and hormones that can alter the hair growth cycle if unbalanced.
Biochemistry & Iron Storage
Provides an overview of blood cell activity, organ function, inflammation and iron reserves.
Understanding Your Body’s Priorities
Your body may prioritise vital organs over hair growth when key nutrients are limited. Blood testing helps identify whether markers such as Zinc, Ferritin, Vitamin D, B12, Folate, thyroid hormones, or androgen markers may be contributing to hair thinning.
How To Read Your Laboratory Results
Your results will list your values alongside standard reference ranges. If a result falls outside the range, it is noted for review. Optimal levels for hair growth, especially for Ferritin and Vitamin D, may differ from the minimum general health reference ranges.
Results Timeline: Profile metrics are typically available within 10 days. Once your results are ready, they will be securely shared with you.
