Why do you say the fast/slow thing isn’t that important in my case?

Yes - these were both scalp hair samples. I didnt follow the ARL protocol a year ago - all I did was take more MG during/after workouts and zn/mn i mentioned above. the recommended supplement list at ARL was pretty long. And after consulting with a couple of hair mineral analysis practitioners...
