InterClinical Laboratories

What InterClinical Laboratories does

InterClinical Laboratories Pty Ltd is an Australian, founder-owned proprietary limited company that has operated from Alexandria, NSW since 1994. The company runs a dual business: (1) a laboratory diagnostic service performing Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA), a non-invasive pathology test that measures 32 nutrient and toxic minerals plus 27 significant mineral ratios in hair samples to parts-per-million precision and returns an evidence-based interpretive report; and (2) a practitioner-only nutritional supplement business spanning the InterClinical Professional range (elemental minerals, fully reacted amino acid chelates, complex formulations priced roughly $19.90-$62.90 AUD per unit) and the InterClinical Wellness consumer range (Algotene II, Reparen, Artemisia Plus, Detox Assist+). The business also offers an Animal HTMA service for equine and canine practitioners.

The company serves primarily Australian registered healthcare practitioners — naturopaths, nutritionists, integrative medicine doctors, and animal-health practitioners — through a community-led, education-intensive go-to-market model. Free online training, a mentoring program, certification options, technical advisory calls, and sponsored relationships with eight Australian practitioner associations (ACNEM, AIMA, ANPA, ANTA, ATMS, NHAA, CMA, ESNN) anchor practitioner acquisition and retention. Distribution is through a practitioner e-commerce portal that requires registration and a professional script for Professional-range purchases, with HTMA kits orderable directly or via practitioners and international shipping available at additional cost.

The company is bootstrapped and self-funded, led by Founding Director Ian Tracton, with 11-50 employees and no institutional investment, M&A, or external funding disclosed. Revenue is not publicly disclosed. Recent activity includes new product launches (Silica Advanced in February 2024, E ASTA SEL and Gluco Chrome in 2022, a Vitamin C Plus reformulation in 2024), a 2026 HTMA Webinar Series, a multi-city Australian seminar tour, and international shipping expansion. The company self-describes as an Australian leader in HTMA and nutritional medicine.
