What is Oligo Scan Analysis?
OligoScan is a quick, non-invasive test that measures the levels of minerals, trace elements, and heavy metals in your body using a specialized light scanner. This advanced technology provides an instant analysis, helping to detect nutritional deficiencies and toxic metal buildup, so you can take steps toward better health.
Benefits
- Non-invasive and painless
- Immediate results
- Assesses mineral deficiencies and toxicities
- Supports personalized treatment plans
- Quick and efficient procedure
Is This Right for You?
Adults experiencing fatigue, skin or hair concerns, weight-loss plateaus, or looking for preventative health assessment, and those on detox, supplementation, or IV therapy programmes who want to track mineral and heavy metal status over time..
You may benefit if you have:
- Patients with fatigue or low energy
- Hair loss or skin concerns
- Nutritional deficiencies
- Detoxification programs
- Preventative health assessments
- Weight loss patients
Pre-Treatment Care
- Drink 1.5-2 litres of water daily for 48 hours before, proper hydration improves scan accuracy
- Avoid moisturiser, hand cream, or any lotion on both palms on the day of the scan
- Remove rings, bracelets, and watches before the scan
- Wash your hands with soap and water on arrival (if any product residue); let them fully dry
- Avoid alcohol for 24 hours before
- Bring a list of current supplements and medications to help interpret results
- Consider pre-treatment blood work if you have specific concerns (iron, vitamin D, B12, thyroid)
Post-Treatment Care
- Receive and review your written report with the practitioner
- Implement recommended supplementation, dietary adjustments, or IV drip protocols as advised
- Continue your usual daily activities immediately, no restrictions
- Drink 2 litres of water daily to support any recommended detox or mineral balancing protocols
- Retest in 3-6 months to measure progress objectively
- Book confirmatory blood or hair tests if any significant findings warrant it
- Pair with IV vitamin therapy or targeted supplement plans for comprehensive care

Frequently Asked Questions
How does OligoScan work?
OligoScan uses spectrophotometry, a specialised light-based scanner placed briefly on four points on your palm. The light measures how specific wavelengths are absorbed by tissue, calculating intracellular levels of minerals (magnesium, zinc, calcium, iron, selenium, and more), trace elements, and heavy metals (lead, mercury, aluminium, arsenic, cadmium). Results are ready within minutes.
How is this different from a blood test?
Blood tests measure extracellular (serum) levels, which reflect recent intake. OligoScan measures intracellular tissue levels, reflecting long-term bioavailability, what is actually being used inside your cells. The two tests are complementary; OligoScan gives a different view of your mineral status.
Is the science validated?
Honest answer: OligoScan is a useful screening tool that gives directional information, but it is not a replacement for definitive laboratory testing. For significant concerns (heavy metal toxicity, severe deficiency), we'll recommend confirmatory blood or hair testing. Many clients find it a helpful starting point for a wellness plan.
How long does the scan take?
The scan itself takes about 2 minutes. Consultation to review results and create a personalised plan takes 15-20 minutes.
How often should I retest?
Every 3-6 months during an active wellness plan (detox, supplementation, IV therapy course). Annually for preventative monitoring. Tracking changes over time is where OligoScan adds real value.
What happens after my results?
Your doctor or wellness practitioner reviews the findings, explains them in plain language, and recommends next steps, which may include targeted supplementation, dietary changes, IV drips, detox protocols, or confirmatory lab tests. You receive a personalised written report.
