The OligoScan is a revolutionary technique capable of measuring in real time the bioavailability of trace elements (in the form of minerals), heavy metal poisoning and oxidative stress in our body at the cellular level.
The OligoScan measures up to 20 important minerals and 14 toxic metals using a handheld scanner. The qualitative and quantitative detection of these elements allows an evaluation of the functioning of the body in a global way as well as its interaction with the environment where it lives.
Many scientific studies discuss the depletion of nutrients in food. This depletion, accompanied by an increase in food additives, can cause mineral imbalances that lead to various health problems. If we know that certain minerals are at levels below normal, we can indicate an adequate supplementation to correct the deficits or excesses.
The early detection of toxic metals such as mercury, lead, aluminum, arsenic, etc., in the body will make it possible to identify and treat the problems associated with them, with which we can avoid injuries in different organs such as the brain, liver and kidneys. Small amounts of some of these metals are common in our environment and food, and are actually necessary for good health, but large amounts of any of them can cause acute or chronic toxicity (poisoning).
How does the OligoScan work?
The method used by OligoScan to obtain results is spectrophotometry. It is a method of quantitative analysis, which consists of measuring the absorbance or optical density of a chemical substance. The basic principle is that each chemical compound absorbs, emits or reflects light (electromagnetic radiation) over a range of wavelengths. vibe. The denser the sample, the more light it will absorb.
