Unless the hair test is completely normal, doesn't meet the counting

rules or show any sign of mercury problems, the mineral levels are

not reliable. Minerals can sometimes show up falsely elevated or

falsely low due to mineral transport derangement.

So I wouldn't use the hair levels as a basis for deciding whether

the supplement is okay, but I would compare the ingredients to

the recommendations in the supplement file on the autism-mercury

list.
