ABSTRACT

The bio elements, i.e. electrolytes, trace elements, and ultra-trace elements, nutritional status is an important indicator of human health. Herewith, we analyzed the hair bio element contents of (in decreasing order of abundance): Ca, Zn. P, Na, K, Mg, Si, Cu, Fe, Al, B, Sr, Cr, I, Se, Ni, Mn, Mo, Ag, Li, Co, and Au, with the ICP MS. We assessed the hair bio element nutritional status with the Median derivatives Bioassay. The most recent study revealed that the major objection for the wider use of hair bio element analysis was the discrepancy in the analysis of the hair replicates, because it was wrongly assumed that the full hair sample is a homogenous set of hair piles in the same stage of their growth and development. Our approach provides for f the reliable reference ranges in assessing the bio element nutritional status. Now it is possible to assess the bio element nutrition al status and bio element interactions in the vulnerable segments of the human population without violating the ethical health considerations in regard to the studied subjects.
