OLIGOSCAN — MINERAL & VITAMIN TESTINGWhat your cells know that your blood test doesn't
OligoScan Advanced Cellular Tests
OligoScan is a new way of carrying out detailed health checks to assess a person’s health using an advanced process known as ‘spectrophotometry’.
The test measures:
Mineral deficiencies (due to diet and food choices)
Accumulation of heavy metals in the body
Anti-oxidant levels
Vitamin deficiency/excess
As spectrometry checks the cellular levels, the test gives the most direct and immediate information possible on a patient’s health. It is significantly faster and more accurate than assessing urine or blood samples. The human body keeps the blood levels balanced for much longer than cellular, therefore the deficiency is first seen in the cells rather than in the blood itself. That’s why OligoScan can highlight issues that a normal blood test cannot.
Most people have no idea what's actually going on at the cellular level in their body and standard blood tests often can't tell them. The OligoScan changes that. In a matter of minutes, right here in Melody's office, you'll have a precise, real-time picture of what your body is carrying, what it's missing, and what may have been quietly affecting your energy, mood, skin, sleep, immunity, and overall vitality for years.
What it tests
The OligoScan measures 34 elements in a single session, including 20 essential minerals and trace elements, 14 toxic heavy metals, antioxidant levels, and oxidative stress markers. These are the building blocks and burdens your body deals with every single day.
On the mineral side, it checks levels of calcium, magnesium, zinc, iron, selenium, iodine, potassium, copper, chromium, and more each one playing a critical role in everything from nerve function and hormone production to bone strength and immune response. On the toxic metal side, it screens for lead, mercury, aluminum, arsenic, cadmium, and others that accumulate silently from food, water, air, and environment and can cause a surprisingly wide range of symptoms when they build up.
Remove the guessing. Real Impact.
Thoughtful care plan to elevate to help you live and be able to do what matters most.
Why it's more accurate than a standard blood test
Your blood is designed to stay balanced. The body will pull minerals from your tissues and bones to keep blood levels looking normal, which means deficiencies show up in your cells long before they ever appear in a blood draw. The OligoScan reads at the cellular level, giving Melody a far more direct and immediate picture of what's actually happening in your tissues, not just what's circulating. It's faster, more precise, and reveals what conventional testing routinely misses.
How it works
There are no needles, no blood draws, and no discomfort. A small handheld spectrometer is gently pressed against four points on the palm of your hand. Using spectrophotometry an advanced optical technology that measures how your tissues absorb and reflect light, the device reads the electromagnetic signatures of 34 elements in real time. Your results appear on screen within minutes, and Melody reviews them with you immediately so you understand exactly what they mean and what to do next.
What happens after
Your OligoScan results don't sit in a file. They go directly into your care plan. Melody uses them to personalize your supplement protocol, address any toxic metal burden through targeted detox support, and when appropriate can formulate your custom IV therapy so that every nutrient in your infusion corresponds precisely to what your cells have shown they need. This is the difference between guessing and knowing.

How to Prepare for Your Oligo Session
-
No injections or blood taking
Pain-free
Instant results
More precise than a standard blood test
Very thorough
Includes a consultation with our Therapist and interpretation of the scan results
-
Patients need to supply the following information, which is essential to the test:
Blood type
Height
Weight
This is crucial information. Without it, we won't be able to provide the test.
If you don’t have your blood type, we will provide a test at the clinic for you to find out. -
Reports can be printed instantly at the clinic or you can choose to have a pdf report emailed directly to you.
-
The procedure is entirely painless and involves very little discomfort or recovery. It can easily be fitted into a lunchtime and patients can return straight to normal activities.
-
Once we have your data, Melody can interpret the report
Patients may receive advice on:
Nutrition
Hydration
Lifestyle
Health
Treatment may include
Supplements
Vitamin injections
-
An appointment including OligoScan testing and report takes around an hour.
-
The report is normally 3 pages long and provides comprehensive information including:
Page 1 - results of 21 minerals and trace elements, including a global overview of deficits and surpluses. The following elements are analyzed: calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), phosphorus (P), silicon (Si), sodium (Na), potassium (K), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), chromium (Cr), vanadium (V), boron (B), cobalt (Co), molybdenum (Mo), iodine (I), lithium (Li), germanium (Ge), selenium (Se), Fluorine (F) and sulfur (S)
Page 2 - results of 16 toxic, heavy metals, including the global metal intoxication, and the extent in which the sulfoconjugation of the liver is blocked. That is a function of the liver in order to neutralize toxins. The ratios of four major pairs are calculated: Ca/Mg, Ca/P, K/Na and Cu/Zn. In percentages the degree of oxidative damage versus protection is calculated (oxidation versus antioxidation)
Page 3 - degree of acidity (acidosis) and the predisposition to diabetes and allergies are listed; following which ten functions are analysed based on the values of all elements, such as enzyme activity and the cardiovascular system
-
Sophisticated testing would reveal nutritional deficiencies in many UK adults, as the array of nutritional values required is so vast. Eating a diet which covers all the nutritional requirements is very challenging. For some, busy lifestyles means an over-reliance on pre-prepared food, takeaways or eating out. For others, trying to lose weight and living on a restricted calorie intake can amplify the effects of missing nutritional values.
An individual report using the OligoScan can highlight the areas of deficiency to inform plans which might be delivered through dietary changes, supplementation or both. The objective is of course to improve a person's health.
-
The negative health impact of heavy metals has been demonstrated by numerous studies published by research institutes including WHO, FAO and other organisations.
The massive exposure to these toxic agents becomes a real public danger, especially for those living or working in cities, due to the elevated levels of pollution in the air. Heavy metals also are found in earth and water and can enter the human body either by contact or else through food.
-
Ideally once a year, but if a patient wants to closely monitor changes it can be every 3 months.
-
Not at all, there is no need for special preparation. We can carry out the scan at any time of day.
