Product Description
Precision 90 day record of use and our pharmacology report $269.00.Hair testing is the most accurate and effective way of determining alcohol abuse. Every half inch of scalp hair represents a 30 day history of use. So the one and one-falf inch sample submitted gives a precise 90 day record of use.Hair is a remarkable material for this determination. It is an annex of the skin, originated from the hair follicle, in which the germination centre is formed by matrix cells, which gives rise to the cuticle, cortex and medulla layers of the hair shaft. As alcohol is metabolized in the body, the metabolite ethyl glucuronide is deposited in the cortex by diffusion, and forms the basis of our analysis.Hair samples can identify chronic alcohol consumption and dependency.Drinking alcohol over a long period of time profoundly affects the brain, which adapts to the intoxicant and causes withdrawal symptoms when consumption stops. Alcohol affects the process of signalling in nerve cells, which leads to anxiety, agitation, and in extreme cases, seizures.It is estimated that in North America, over 30 million people routinely abuse the consumption of alcohol. This becomes a serious problem because alcohol is responsible for a wide range of physiological and psychological problems with complex socio-economic impact. While there are substantial differences in the alcohol tolerance of individuals, and body weight is a factor, as a general rule, the routine ingestion of more than the equivalent of 60 grams of ethyl alcohol a day typifies an alcoholic. When alcohol is ingested, it is rapidly absorbed into the blood stream and carried to the liver where it is metabolized by enzymes. The initial metabolism is a conversion to acetaldehyde, caused by alcohol dehydrogenase. Acetaldehyde is then converted to a variety of substances in a further series of detoxification reactions.
