This is one of the first labs Dr. Cabral ever completed over 20 years ago as he was beginning to take control of his overall health and wellness. The reason why this lab is so helpful is because it assesses an often overlooked area of your health-minerals.
Your minerals levels include your electrolytes which provide you with the energy you need to get through your busy day, as well as buffer the effects of stress. No test is better at assessing these levels or looking at potential heavy metal toxicity than the Complete Minerals & Metal Test.
Collection Method: Hair Sample
Previously Known as Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis Test (HTMA)
*New York State law prohibits shipment of lab products to New York.
*EquiLife has temporarily suspended lab sales into the State of Washington through October 31, 2024.
If someone tells us they are stressed, tired, anxious, and overwhelmed this is the first test we reach for.
The reason for this is that if you are not balanced when it comes to your electrolyte and mineral levels you will not be able to adequately deal with stress in your life.
This is the test that will enable you to see how well your nervous system is handling stress, what stage of adrenal dysfunction you may be in, what your mineral reserves are like, and if you’re dealing with higher levels of toxic heavy metals.
For heavy metal toxicity, arsenic, cadmium, lead and mercury are among four of the most common heavy metals that cause health related issues. What’s worse is that exposure can happen in our daily life, even coming from skin and cosmetic products approved to put on our bodies!
Mineral imbalances can also impact your overall good health. In fact, imbalances of minerals like iron, magnesium and potassium can not only cause fatigue but could possibly be an indicator of more serious medical issues later in life.
No More Guesswork
Rather than other at-home tests that make you guess at the results, our health coaches take the time to assess your results and go over them with you step by step. And you can feel confident the supplements, diet and lifestyle changes we recommend are the right ones for your body and your health goals.
We use only the most premier, independent laboratories who specialize in Functional Medicine testing, ensuring accuracy and results.
Each test result is reviewed by our trained Medical Director and signed off on by Dr. Cabral himself.

Every product on this website was formulated with the mindset that my family and I would be using each nutritional supplement.
When you go into a product formulation knowing that your own family and children will use these products it ensures there will never be any compromise…
Plus, I want only the best for my online community and private practice clients. And, since people come to me for results after failing many times in the past, I have to know that every one of these products are truly the best of the best and will help people on their healing journey…
It’s important to understand that not all nutritional supplements are created equal.
For example, in a Functional Medicine practice only methylated or highly bio-available vitamins and minerals will be used in order to make it easy for the body to utilize.
Not only do these formula get better results, but they do not build up as toxins in the body or simply get excreted in the urine like most cheaper forms…
I made a promise to myself when I first started formulating the EquiLife line that I would not compromise on quality…
Even if a product cost me a few more dollars, I would not take any shortcuts in order to make a product for less.
This has enabled EquiLife to set itself apart even in the Functional Medicine community as a leader in the best ingredients used.
Besides never compromising on using the highest quality ingredients available when formulating our nutritional supplements, I make sure that each batch is 3rd Party tested for contaminants like:
This then allows me to be confident when consuming these products myself and knowing that the dosages are what is stated on the bottle.
Again, this leads to better user results and happier customers and wellness clients!
Another way in which the EquiLife supplement line sets itself apart as the leader in the industry is by always producing fresh orders every couple of months.
Our products do not sit in warehouses for over a year…
Instead we maintain freshness with smaller continuous batch orders along with climate controlled fulfillment centers.
This guarantees purity, freshness, and taste.
This is a difference you can both see and taste with every bottle!
At EquiLife we strive to provide the fastest and most convenient shipping available!
Since I know you’re going to absolutely love and see & feel the difference by using the EquiLife supplement line I’ve formulated for my private practice, my family, and online community I'm happy to offer you my “Empty Bottle Guarantee!”
This means if you don’t see or feel the results you were looking for, or just don’t believe this was the absolute best product in its class that you’ve ever used, simply ship back the empty bottles, within 60 days of your purchase, for 100% of your product purchase price (not including S&H).
My team and I firmly believe in putting our clients and customers first, and we only want the best for you in your wellness, weight loss & anti-aging goals!
I've been traveling so this review has been delayed. I was pleased to see the level of detail in the report and the colored bar graphs made the data easier to understand. However I was surprised to see that many of the parameters were low and the summary explanations suggested I have lots of stress in my life and must not be feeling very well, that I'm likely tired, etc. On the contrary, I'm a healthy 73 year old man who has been retired for over 20 years with little stress in my life. My goal for taking the test was to see whether I'm over doing it on supplements or do I need to increase certain ones. Seems that the best next step is to get a similar test and compare results before changing my diet. I do like the idea of the detox protocol and the probiotic product which may be more effective than the probiotics I'm taking now.
It was easy to collect sample waiting for results
Ordering and completing was pretty straightforward; no results yet.
This was a very easy and simple to do. I'm excited for my results!!
