Body Toxin and Heavy Metal Assessment With Oligoscan

Understanding Oligoscan: An Assessment of Certain Minerals and Heavy Metals to Support Preventive Health Care

In daily life, the body may be exposed to various substances from food, water, pollution, and the environment. This is why many people have become interested in body toxin assessment and heavy metal testing as supporting information for health care planning.

What Is Oligoscan?

Oligoscan is a technology that uses Spectrophotometric Analysis, or light absorption analysis, to assess information related to certain minerals and heavy metals in tissues.

The scan is performed on approximately 4 points on the palm and does not require blood collection.

What Can Oligoscan Assess?

Oligoscan can be used to assess information related to approximately 20 minerals, such as:

• Calcium
• Magnesium
• Zinc
• Iron
• Copper

It can also assess certain heavy metals, approximately 14 types, such as:

• Aluminium
• Mercury
• Lead
• Arsenic
• Cadmium

The information obtained may be used to support considerations related to nutrition, mineral status, and environmental exposure factors.

Who May Be Interested in This Test?

This assessment may be suitable for:

• People who regularly live in areas with pollution exposure
• People who may be exposed to certain substances or metals through work
• People who want additional information about mineral levels
• People interested in preventive health care

However, symptoms such as fatigue, dull skin, or digestive concerns can occur from many different causes. Therefore, they should not be concluded as being caused only by heavy metals or mineral deficiency.

What to Know Before Testing

The term “body toxin testing” is broad, and different substances may require different testing methods.

Oligoscan is suitable as supporting information for health assessment. If there is a history of high-level exposure to certain substances, or if an abnormal condition is suspected, a doctor may consider blood tests, urine tests, or additional investigations as appropriate.

Summary

Body toxin assessment and heavy metal testing with Oligoscan is another option for assessing information related to certain minerals and heavy metals.

The results should be considered together with health history, symptoms, and medical assessment by a doctor.
