| Description |
As the hair grows, it absorbs special markers called fatty acid ethyl esters (FAEE's) and ethyl glucuronide (EtG) into its structure, which remain in the hair indefinitely. These patented markers are only produced when there is alcohol in the bloodstream, and the more markers there are, the more alcohol you consumed.
What makes this analysis revolutionary is that it gives a history going back month-by-month or even years if required. No other method can do this. Afterwards, an alcoholic's treatment can be monitored periodically as their hair grows.
What are the benefits of knowing someones alcohol history?
- Identify long-term alcohol addicts, offer help and improve treatment success rate
- Prove a parent is fit to have custody of their children
- Identify an alcohol abuser in a safety critical job
- For forensic use, e.g. to prove whether a driver in a road accident was or was not in the habit of overindulging alcohol.
- To prove someone does not have an alcohol problem and is fit to lead.
- To prove someone is long-term abstinent and a suitable candidate for a liver transplant.
