So-Check (Oligo-Scan) is a device made in France. The spectrophotometry method has been known since the 1930s and was awarded a Nobel Prize.
1How does it work?
The photometric scan is a qualitative, not a quantitative, method of analysis — it measures vibrational resonance. Each mineral and trace element has its own specific frequency and resonance, and its own capacity to absorb light. The scanner analyzes the full color spectrum of the minerals and trace elements and measures the intensity of the molecules’ electromagnetic radiation according to wavelength.
Analysis of 4 points on the palm provides information about the concentration of minerals and trace elements in the tissues and the level of oxidative stress, and makes it possible to assess metabolism.
2What is measured?
- Around 20 essential minerals and trace elements
- 7 essential vitamins (A, C, E, B6, B12, B9, D3)
- 14–15 heavy metals (mercury, lead, cadmium, etc.)
- Mineral ratios — calcium/magnesium, potassium/sodium
- Oxidative stress level
3What does this diagnostic test provide?
- Degree of heavy metal intoxication and the body’s ability to eliminate them
- Quantitative ratio of mineral balance, deficiency or excess
- Level of oxidative stress and acidity of the body, antioxidant status
- Assessment of regenerative potential
- Degree of predisposition to chronic diseases (diabetes mellitus, allergies)
