Signs Your Hair Loss is Rooted in a Nutritional Deficit
If you experience any of the following indications, this screening panel provides targeted clinical clarity.
Excessive Shedding (Telogen Effluvium)
Finding unusually large clumps of hair in the shower drain, hairbrushes, or on pillows.
Diffuse Thinning & Widening Hair Part
Gradual decrease in overall ponytail thickness or widening of the central scalp parting.
Brittle, Ridged Nails & Dry Scalp
Concurrent weakness in nail plates alongside lacklustre, easily broken hair shafts.
Postpartum or Post-Diet Hair Loss
Hair shedding following significant weight loss, high psychological stress, or giving birth.
What Key Biomarkers Are Tested & Why
Our pathology panels test specific laboratory markers to detect subtle subclinical deficiencies before they manifest into severe conditions.
Serum Ferritin (Hair Follicle Iron Reserves)
Iron StudiesHair matrix cells require ferritin levels > 50-70 ng/mL for sustained anagen (growth) phase cycles.
Serum Zinc & Mineral Panel
MineralsEssential cofactor for keratin protein synthesis and follicle cell division.
25-Hydroxy Vitamin D
VitaminsStimulates new and dormant hair follicles. Vitamin D deficiency is heavily linked to alopecia areata and telogen effluvium.
Thyroid Panel (TSH, Free T4)
ThyroidBoth hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism trigger diffuse, continuous hair shedding.
Complete Blood Count (CBC)
HematologyVerifies adequate red blood cell count for oxygen transport to scalp dermal papilla cells.
Total Testosterone & DHEA-S
AndrogensEvaluates DHT precursor and androgen levels contributing to androgenetic alopecia.
