OligoScan Mineral & Heavy Metal Testing
Discover what’s really happening inside your cells — not just what shows up in blood or hair. OligoScan uses advanced spectrophotometry to measure 21 minerals, 16 heavy metals, and 7 vitamins directly from the palm of your hand, giving you immediate insights into your body’s balance and toxic load.
Fast, non-invasive testing for minerals, metals, and more available in Aiken, SC and surrounding areas.
Immediate Results
Know your mineral and heavy metal levels in minutes — no waiting weeks for lab reports.
Non-Invasive & Painless
Just four quick light scans on the palm of your hand. No needles, no hair cutting, no urine collection.
Comprehensive Insights
Measures 21 minerals, 16 toxic metals, and 7 vitamins — a full snapshot of your body’s balance and toxic load.
Actionable Guidance
Results help identify deficiencies, toxic overloads, and where detox or nutritional support could make the biggest difference.
What to Expect at Your OligoScan Session
This device uses light reflection to measure 44 Elements (21 minerals, 16 heavy metals, and Vitamins A, B6, B9, B12, C, D, E). The test is immediate and is non-invasive, measuring the intracellular uptake of the elements, namely through the tissue (including muscle & small capillaries), at a depth of 4mm through the skin.
A significant advancement in the field of micronutrient and heavy metal analysis.
By leveraging the science of spectrophotometry, the OligoScan offers a precise and convenient way to monitor and manage the body’s essential minerals and potentially harmful heavy metals, paving the way for better health and well-being!

What Your OligoScan Report Contains
The beauty of an OligoScan session is that you don’t just walk away with a number or a vague summary —
you receive a detailed report that gives you a window into your body’s balance and burdens.
Here’s what’s inside:
- Mineral Status: Measures 21 essential minerals like calcium, magnesium, zinc, and selenium. These are the building blocks for energy, strong bones, hormones, and a resilient immune system
- Heavy Metal Load: Tracks 16 toxic metals including mercury, aluminum, arsenic, and lead.
Knowing your body’s burden can explain fatigue, brain fog, or stubborn symptoms that other labs miss. - Vitamin Levels: Evaluates 7 vitamins (A, B6, B9, B12, C, D, E) at the cellular level. This highlights hidden deficiencies that affect mood, immunity, and recovery.
- Ratios & Balances: Looks at critical mineral ratios such as calcium/magnesium, potassium/sodium,
and copper/zinc. These ratios reveal stress responses, cardiovascular strain, and metabolic health. - Oxidative Stress & Physiology Indexes: Flags early signs of oxidative damage and gives insight
into systems like metabolism, cognition, hormones, and immunity — before they tip into disease
Having this information is powerful. Instead of guessing what supplements you “might” need, you’ll know exactly where your body is deficient, overloaded, or out of balance — and that makes your next steps clear and targeted.
Real Findings from OligoScan Testing
Thousands of OligoScan tests have been run across the U.S. and worldwide. Here are a few patterns and case studies that show just how eye-opening this type of analysis can be:
Case: Hidden Mineral Deficiency
A 52-year-old female showed nearly perfect balance of minerals, yet her potassium ran consistently low compared to sodium. This subtle imbalance, often linked to stress and diet, explained her fatigue and muscle tension — and gave her a clear area to focus,
Trend: Aluminum Overload
Clinicians report that about 90% of patients show elevated aluminum, and 80% carry excess heavy metals overall. These toxic burdens can reduce nutrient absorption by up to 60%, making even the best diet or supplements less effective
Case: Copper–Zinc Imbalance
A 33-year-old male presented with high copper and displaced zinc in tissue. Though his zinc “looked high” on paper, the scan revealed it was trapped in the wrong place — explaining mood issues and poor digestion
Trend: Vitamin B9 Deficiency
Many vegan and vegetarian clients show low Vitamin B9 (folate) along with reduced minerals like zinc and copper. OligoScan helps uncover these gaps early, before fatigue, mood issues, or methylation challenges set in
Case: Mercury from Dental Fillings
A 54-year-old male with multiple amalgam fillings showed extremely high mercury, which blocked Vitamin D absorption and stressed liver detox pathways. This gave context to his metabolic struggles
Trend: Potassium–Sodium Imbalance
Across many scans, stress and processed foods push sodium higher while potassium dips. This subtle shift can raise blood pressure, disrupt heart rhythm, and leave people feeling wired but tired — insights that often get missed in standard lab work.
How OligoScan Differs from Other Tests
You may have tried bloodwork, hair analysis, or even urine provocation tests before.
Each method has value — but they don’t always tell the whole story.
Here's What Test Show:
Blood Tests:
Show what’s circulating in the blood right now, like a “snapshot in transit.” Helpful for acute intoxication, but the body often shuttles toxins into tissues quickly to protect vital organs.
Hair Mineral Analysis:
Reflects what’s been excreted over the past 3 months. If someone is a poor excreter (common in chronic illness), toxic metals may appear lower than they really are.
Urine Tests:
Can show how well the body eliminates metals, especially when provoked with chelating agents. But they only capture what’s being excreted, not what’s stored inside the cells.
OligoScan:
Measures minerals and metals inside your cells (4mm deep in the palm tissue). This reveals what the body has actually absorbed and is holding onto — the true picture of long-term balance and toxic load.
In short: blood shows the transport system, hair and urine show the excretory system, but OligoScan shows the destination — what’s really accumulating in your tissues. That’s why it’s such a powerful complement to other lab tests.
OligoScan Frequently Asked Questions
Is OligoScan safe?
Yes. The scan uses a harmless beam of light (spectrophotometry) placed on the palm of your hand.
There are no needles, no blood draws, and no side effects.
How long does the test take?
The scan itself takes less than 5 minutes, and your personalized report is available almost instantly. Plan on 30–40 minutes total so we can review your results together.
Do I need to prepare or fast before my session?
No special preparation is required. Just bring your basic information: age, height, weight, gender, and blood type.
You can eat and drink normally before your appointment.
Can children be tested?
Yes, children over the age of 2 can be scanned safely. This is often helpful for identifying nutritional imbalances
or toxic exposures early.
How often should I repeat the OligoScan?
Most people retest every 3–6 months, or after starting a new nutrition or detox plan. For accurate trends, retesting should be no sooner than 4 weeks after your last scan..
Does insurance cover OligoScan?
At this time, OligoScan is not typically covered by insurance. We keep session pricing transparent and affordable so you can still access the insights without surprise costs.
What makes this different than standard lab work?
Blood, hair, and urine tests only show what’s circulating or being excreted. OligoScan reveals what’s actually stored inside your cells, giving a true picture of long-term balance and toxic load.
How accurate is OligoScan?
OligoScan uses medical-grade spectrophotometry with secure EU-based data analysis. It’s not classified by the medical industry as a diagnostic tool, but it provides reliable functional insights to guide nutrition and detox strategies.
Stop Guessing
Stop Wasting Money
Every year, people spend hundreds of dollars on vitamins, minerals, and detox products their body doesn’t even need.
OligoScan takes the guesswork out — showing you exactly where you’re deficient, overloaded, or out of balance, so every dollar you spend on your health actually counts.
