What is an Oligsocan?
An Oligoscan provides an innovative, safe, pain-free, instant mineral and toxic metal test. An Oligoscan uses a process called spectrophotometry, which is an analytical quantitative measurement of the absorbance or optical density of a chemical, a method applied to many areas of scientific study.
​
When looking for the root causes of illness, two factors are commonly implicated:
• mineral deficiencies
• toxic metal accumulation ​​​
​
​


With many health problems linked to lack of minerals and exposure to toxic metals, this is a great test to look at tissue levels of these nutrients and toxins. Diet and lifestyle can take you so far, but if you keep peeling back the layers then toxic metals are often at the root of most chronic illnesses.
Metals affect biological functioning of our body and displace essential minerals. They also cause oxidative stress damaging cells and leading to accelerating ageing and fatigue. Toxic metals will likely exacerbate many symptoms, or even cause them outright.
Unless they are addressed medical treatment programmes are likely to be less effective. Do you want to know if you have a burden of toxic metals or a deficiency of any essential minerals?
Request an Oligoscan test. The Oligoscan calculates your reference ranges based on certain data so ensure you know the following: age, gender, weight, height and blood type (O, A, B, AB – rhesus factor not required).

Often these metals are tested for in the blood, but except in cases of acute poisoning, toxic metals are generally found everywhere except in blood, as their damaging effects mean they are quickly tucked away in fat cells and other tissue out of harm’s way. Over time, if the natural detoxification routes are unable to deal with this burden the metals accumulate and are stored deeper in bone and organs where they can cause problems.
