01 / KEY MINERALS

The minerals running your entire body

When your key minerals are off, everything feels off — your sleep, mood, focus, even how you handle stress. These tiny elements control over 1,000 functions in your body. When they're depleted, you feel it in every cell.

CaMgZnKNaFeCu
1,000+
Functions Affected
02 / HEAVY METALS

Hidden toxins quietly draining you

Mercury, lead, aluminum and arsenic sneak in from food, water, even old fillings — and stay for years.

03 / METABOLISM

Why food turns to fatigue, not fuel

If your metabolism is sluggish, every meal becomes exhaustion instead of energy.

04

Hormone Levels

The chemical messengers controlling your moods and energy.

05

Thyroid Function

Your body's master regulator of energy and temperature.

06

Adrenal Function

Your stress response and resilience under pressure.

07

Immune Function

Your body's defense system and overall vitality.

The First Step

You can't fix what you can't see.

Hair testing finally gives you the visibility your body has been asking for. One simple sample. A complete picture.

Start My Analysis
Your 6 core insights

One simple test. Six powerful insights.

Across 37 elements analyzed, 8 heavy metals, and 27 mineral ratios, our certified nutritionists uncover six categories of insight your bloodwork can't see.

Mineral Deficiencies

Identify which essential minerals your body actually needs.
Reveals your long-term mineral status over the past 3 months — what your body truly needs to function. Uncovers the deficiencies bloodwork keeps missing.
29 minerals mapped

Heavy Metal Toxicity

Detect silent toxic build-up affecting your energy.
Heavy metals are invisible on bloodwork. Hair stores them where they actually live, exposing chronic exposure your doctor has never tested for.
8 toxic metals detected

Hormone Balance

Understand the patterns driving mood, weight & sleep.
Mineral ratios reveal hormone imbalances months before they show in blood panels — from Na/K to Ca/Mg to Zn/Cu and beyond.
27 mineral ratios analyzed

Immune Function

See how strong your immune defenses really are.
Your immune system runs on minerals. The Zinc/Copper ratio and multiple immune markers expose exactly where your defenses are weak.
Multiple markers · 1 clear signal

Thyroid & Adrenal

Track energy, sleep, and stress response systems.
The two hormone systems that dictate your daily energy and how your body handles chronic stress — measured through T3/T4 conversion signals and cortisol patterns.
2 systems · 1 report

Metabolism

Discover how efficiently your body converts food to energy.
Your metabolic type reveals why weight has been so hard to move — even when you're doing everything right. Fast oxidizer, slow oxidizer, or mixed.
3 metabolic types identified

How it works

3 Easy Steps To Analyze Your Hair

Blood tests don't tell the whole truth. You need to analyze your hair to learn your history — because your body is a collection of elements and this test looks at the elements that make up your entire body.

Collecting your hair sample
1Step

Collecting Your Hair Sample

This part's easy — it only takes a few minutes. Just snip a small amount of hair close to the root (about a teaspoon's worth). Scalp hair is best, but underarm or pubic hair works too if needed.

If your hair's dyed, no worries — just trim from the roots, since that's the freshest part that tells us what's really going on inside your body.

Heads up: your kit arrives as a slim mailer, not a boxed package — keep an eye out so it doesn't get mistaken for junk mail.

Send your sample
2Step

Send Your Sample

Once you've collected your sample, the hard part's over. We'll send you a prepaid shipping label (with tracking included) — so all you have to do is pop your hair sample into the little kit we provide, seal it up, and drop it in the mail.

That's it! No needles, no appointments, no lab visits — just a simple send-off to start uncovering what your body's been trying to tell you.

Receive your private results
3Step

Receive Your Private Results via Email

Once your sample reaches our certified, physician-approved lab, we'll take it from there.

Your results stay 100% private and are processed with precision and care. As soon as they're ready (usually the same or next business day), we'll email you a simple, password-protected PDF report.

Lab-Grade Precision
Hand-selected, physician-approved.

Choosing the right lab wasn't something we took lightly. At Upgraded Formulas, we hand-selected our laboratory from hundreds of options — searching for one that didn't cut corners. Too many hair-analysis labs use harsh chemical washes that strip away water-soluble minerals like sodium and potassium, and when you wash the hair sample that way you end up with inaccurate results.

Our lab never does that. We use unwashed, pristine hair-samples, processed under strict protocols so your mineral and toxin levels are preserved and meaningful. That level of care means your results are far more trustworthy, and when the test reveals an imbalance, you can act on it confidently.

Stop Guessing · Start Healing

Save thousands on supplements you never needed.

Because you'll have a personalized action plan to actually follow.

Hair Analysis shows you exactly which nutrients you have too much of and which ones you're missing, so you can finally stop guessing and start healing.

We see it all the time — people spending hundreds each month chasing energy, sleep, or peace of mind. Worse, in many cases the supplements they thought were helping were actually making things worse.

Too much calcium or vitamin D can push out magnesium and other vital minerals. The result? More fatigue, worse sleep, and mood swings that feel impossible to explain.

Until you test, you're just guessing. That's why we trademarked Test, Don't Guess®

A Message from Barton Scott

Ever felt like no matter what you try — you still wake up tired?

The morning walks, the green smoothies, the supplements lined up on your counter — and yet you still wake up foggy, exhausted, and wishing for just one more hour of rest.

Maybe you meditate, eat clean, do everything "right." But your energy still crashes, your mind feels cluttered, and you lie in bed exhausted but restless, wondering why your body won't cooperate.

I understand exactly how you feel. I've been there. And so was my mom.
Chapter 1 · 2012

The Sunday That Changed Everything

Back in 2012, my mother had just retired after a lifetime as a bright, joyful librarian — the kind of woman who lit up every room. Then, almost overnight, her light began to dim. She now struggled to get out of bed. Her once-sharp mind grew foggy and forgetful.

I woke from a Sunday afternoon nap knowing something was wrong. Before I could even pick up my phone, I somehow knew — it was my mother. Missed calls from both sisters confirmed what I already felt in my core.

Meanwhile, I was struggling too — brain fog, no focus without stimulants. My body was slowly breaking down.

"Normal"
Chapter 2 · The Labs Said "Normal"

We Spent Thousands. Every Test Came Back "Normal."

Mom had Hashimoto's, hypothyroidism, heavy metal toxicity. We spent thousands on blood work, hormone panels, and expensive tests. Every single one came back "normal."

15+
Doctors visitedNothing about how we felt was normal — but the tests couldn't see it.

Your blood works hard to keep those numbers looking "normal," even if you're running on empty — it'll literally pull minerals from your bones and tissues just to stay in range.

Chapter 3 · The Moment Everything Changed

"You Don't Remember Your Dreams, Do You, Mate?"

Through a friend, we met a nutritionist who introduced us to Hair Analysis Testing. I was skeptical — I had a background in Chemical Engineering. But when he explained how it worked, something clicked.

I'll never forget that first consultation. The practitioner glanced at my chart and said:

"Barton, you don't remember your dreams much, do you, mate?"

He was right — I hadn't remembered a dream in years. Question after question hit right on the truth. It was like someone had finally turned the lights on in a dark room.

Maybe You Can Relate

Ever feel like you're doing everything right — and it's still not enough?

The morning walks. The green smoothies. The supplements lined up on your counter. And yet, you still wake up tired, foggy, and wishing for one more hour of rest.

01

You Do Everything "Right"

You meditate, eat clean, hit the gym. But your energy still crashes mid-afternoon, your mind feels cluttered, and the smallest stress makes your chest tighten.

02

You Snap, Then Feel Guilty

You snap at the people you love — then feel guilty for it. You lie in bed exhausted but restless, mind racing, wondering why your body won't cooperate.

03

Something Deeper Is Off

You sense it — that something underneath is wrong. But every test comes back "normal" and every doctor sends you home with the same shrug.

My Story

Back in 2012, my mother had just retired after a lifetime as a bright, joyful librarian and English teacher — the kind of woman who lit up every room she walked into. Then, almost overnight, her light began to dim.

The woman who used to laugh easily now struggled to get out of bed. Her eyes lost their spark, her voice carried a quiet exhaustion, and her once-sharp mind grew foggy and forgetful.

That's when I knew I had to do something different.

Surprising

"I did not expect the results on my test. The nutritionist helped me decipher it and gave me practical steps. I can feel a difference from those practical steps."

★★★★★
Christopher V.
Just bought a second mineral hair test!!

"About 3 months ago I bought this mineral hair test and was blown away with the results and how great I have felt with the proper supplementation.

I received a VERY thorough consultation walking me through what minerals I was deficient in and how to detoxify my body of heavy metals.

I have never been more physically fit, stronger, mentally sharp, and more focused!"

Catherine N.
Great experience so far!

"I have suffered from insomnia and low thyroid for a year. It was so amazing to finally find out why. Doing the hair test only took 15 minutes. Highly recommend — hair results are a much better outcome to look at than blood sometimes."

★★★★★
Brent W.
Such a great tool!

"This will be my 3rd time using this, and it's wonderful the results I get and actionable items to get going. This time I'm hiring an Upgraded Formulas nutrition coach for even better results!"

★★★★★
Leslie C.
Sooooo good!

"I have done 2 tests. My overall health is much better. Was struggling with energy, sleep, hair loss and weight loss resistance. My consultant gave me strategies for each vertical — I've had improvements all around.

I've tried everything — every herb, supplement, natural remedy — this has truly been an eye opener and a relief to find!"

★★★★★
Meredith S.
Very informative!

"Test was very easy to use, and results were easy to understand. Very enlightening experience. I'm certainly questioning some of my supplements now, so I'm glad I gave this a try!"

★★★★★
David B.
Great service

"I have done 4-5 hair analyses over 18 months. Very high mercury levels were discovered — with their suggestions, I have been able to lower these levels by 75%.

I am a practicing plastic surgeon, who has a very healthy lifestyle. I am a fan of both this analysis and the products that they carry."
