Stable isotope ratio analysis of human hair has the potential to provide a wealth of information about nutritional status, metabolism and disease states. While applications are relatively new in clinical nutrition and metabolic studies, the study of natural isotope abundances in hair have been routinely applied to archaeological and ecological research for over the past 30 years. As human hair is relatively non-invasive to sample and can linear record isotopic signatures over time, there is great promise that this technique will be fully developed at both the bulk protein and amino acid level to provide an unbiased method or biomarker for the detection nutritional status, geographical location, health, and disease patterns in humans.
