AlopeciaDX Blood Test
Many of our clients experiencing hair thinning and hair loss are left with a lot of unanswered questions. Here at HPIHair, we want to help our clients get to the root cause of their hair loss. Our AlopeciaDX blood test is composed of a variety of different factors that may cause hair thinning or loss.
What’s in the AlopeciaDX Blood Test Panel?
In our panel, we are specially looking for underlying medical issues, along with vitamin and mineral deficiencies. More specifically we are looking for:
Iron Deficiencies – Iron is essential for the production of hemoglobin. Low hemoglobin results in a reduction of oxygen, which healthy hair requires. When iron levels are low oxygen cannot be transferred for healthy hair.
Thyroid Dysfunction – Disruption of the thyroid causes the hair growth cycle to remain in the resting phase, causing hair loss.
Vitamin Deficiencies – Vitamins stimulate new growth in hair follicles. Without optimal levels, growth can be stunted.
Mineral Deficiencies – Lack of certain minerals inhibits the hairs ability to grow at a cellular level and affects the hair growth cycles. Certain minerals also help to strengthen the hair follicle.
Gene Mutation – Certain gene mutations may play a vital roll in the hair cycle of both growth and strength.
Amino Acid – Amino acids are essential for healthy hair. These are especially important for the growth cycle and strength of hair.


AlopeciaDX Study Results
Introduction: Several underlying medical conditions have been linked to alopecia. In addition, vitamin and mineral deficiencies are thought to play a role in hair shedding. Our clinical observations suggest that certain vitamins and minerals, as well as gene mutations, play a role in hair loss.
Methods: Clients were enrolled in a one-time cohort study. Blood plasma samples were drawn and analyzed to determine underlying medical conditions, vitamin levels, mineral levels, and gene mutations. Each client underwent a past medical history review. Clients’ alopecia was graded on the Hamilton-Norwood Scale. Comparisons were reviewed and analyzed.

AlopeciaDX Study Results and Conclusions
Results: Twelve clients were enrolled (4 males, 8 females) in the HPIHair AlopeciaDX study. All male clients were experiencing hair loss. Two female clients did not have hair loss, four females were experiencing thinning hair and/or loss, and two females were significantly impacted with hair loss.
Complete blood counts were within normal limits on all participants. Seventy-five percent (75%) of male clients had a vitamin deficiency. While all the male clients were within the normal range for minerals, they were not within optimal ranges. Twenty-five percent (25%) of female clients were found to have an underlying medical issue which was likely causing hair loss or at a minimum, a contributing factor–such as postpartum or hereditary concerns. Seventy-five percent (75%) of female clients also experienced low vitamin levels. All females were below optimal levels of minerals tested. Of the four females tested for gene mutation, three of them were positive (75%).
Conclusion: There is a significant increase in hair loss and low vitamin levels, showing some evidence of causation. There is also a clear link between low (below optimal) levels of minerals and hair loss. Gene mutations may also play a role in hair shedding.

How HPIHair Can Help Alopecia
Every medical condition affects each person in different ways. Hair loss is no different and may be the only symptom or one of many. If hair loss is the sole complaint, you may be led to believe it’s simply your genetics. Genetics may indeed play a role, but genetics are not the singular factor contributing or causing hair loss. Often times there are multiple variables playing a role in hair loss, and understanding the cause can be the difference between losing more hair or stopping it. With the AlopeciaDX testing, we have the technology, skill, and knowledge to help accurately diagnose factors leading to your hair thinning, shedding, and loss.
