Vitamin B1 deficiency leads to Beriberi (numbness in the hands and feet), while a lack of vitamin B2 may cause a canker sore. Low levels of iron in the body might result in anemia.

Currently, a cutting-edge technology called “OligoScan” is used to assess the concentration of heavy metals and minerals in the body. The device is held over 4 points of the palm to record the wavelengths of minerals in the tissues. OligoScan indicates:
OligoScan screening test takes around 2-3 minutes. It is a painless and non-invasive method done without a blood specimen. The test gives instant results and is more precise than a standard blood test as it has an in-depth measuring system.
