Oligoscan to measure Vitamin A levels
Hi everyone, has anyone tried an oligoscan to measure their Vitamin A levels? Below is an AI-generated overview:
An Oligoscan is a non-invasive, painless test that uses spectrophotometry to measure levels of minerals, trace elements, and heavy metals in the body's tissues in real-time. The scan involves placing a device on the palm of the hand, which shines light through the skin to analyze the optical density of various substances, providing immediate results on a range of elements like vitamins, minerals, and toxic metals. This information helps practitioners create personalized health plans, such as nutritional guidance and heavy metal detoxification protocols. What it measures:
- Vitamins: Vitamins A, B6, B9, B12, C, D, and E.
- Minerals: 21 essential minerals, such as calcium, magnesium, and selenium.
- Heavy Metals: 16 toxic heavy metals, like mercury, lead, and arsenic.
- Oxidative Stress: It can also provide an assessment of oxidative stress.
Benefits:
- Quick and non-invasive: The test is fast, painless, and does not require a blood draw or urine sample.
- Provides immediate results: You can get a report with actionable information right away.
- Personalized health insights: It helps identify specific mineral deficiencies or heavy metal toxicities that may be affecting your health, leading to personalized recommendations.
- Preventive health: It can be used to detect imbalances before they lead to serious health issues.
@livy I think it can be helpful for sure. I know some people have it at home and test daily. That is the best approach to have a lot of data, to se patterns. Just having one test done is basically useless. But I believe that testing like this is future for sure. AT some point there will be machine for the whole body and it will tell you all minerals, vitamins, toxins in all different tissues, organs and it will give you diet, supplement, life style protocol to follow. That will be much better than hair, blood or just palm testing. But unfortunately for us. We will not live to see it in practice.. Anyways If I knew someone who has oligoscan at home so I can do it often I think it can be really helpful once you learn how to interpret the results etc.. But to just do it couple times a year I think for that hair testing is much better.. Because there is 40 years of practice behind it. For now I think hair testing + blood test of stuff like iron panel, liver, kidney, thyroid markers, vit D etc.. will give you good idea how you body/metabolism is doing and so how your lifestyle and diet should look like..
But when it comes to just oligoscan testing alone. You can have deficiency of something in tissues like the hand that is tested, but liver full of that mineral/vitamin etc.. If someone is able to put together results from hair, oligoscan and blood that is probably the best we can do right now..
