BulbScan Test -
How it works

The BulbScan Test (BST) is a cutting-edge tool that analyses the hair bulb to provide a comprehensive overview of your body's metabolic history and current state. It evaluates nutritional minerals, toxic metals, vitamins, and amino acids in your body.

The BulbScan Test aims to investigate the overall picture of your state and to target nutrition and the possible use of supplements to the physical and sporting activities practised. In addition to this, it considers the impact of environmental pollution on the individual's general well-being.

Unlike blood or urine tests that only show the current state of circulating elements, the BST provides an analysis of both circulating and stored elements in the body, offering a broader and more stable picture of your state in the last 1-3 months.

The test analyzes 8 heavy metals, 23 physiological minerals, 13 vitamins, and 19 amino acids. It does not detect narcotic or doping substances.

The test is beneficial for anyone interested in a comprehensive wellbeing assessment. It's particularly useful for individuals experiencing unexplained symptoms like fatigue, digestive issues, or muscle pain, and those exposed to environmental pollutants or certain medications.

No, the test is non-invasive. It involves analyzing the hair bulb, which is a painless process.

The hair bulb is extracted by you directly using the tool provided in the sampling kit, and can be plugged from the head (preferable) or from the beard or the chest.

The BST employs advanced technology and algorithms by BMT Technology. However, it should be considered alongside other diagnostic tools and medical advice.

The time to receive results can vary. On average 10 days from when the sample has been received from our lab.

The BST is a diagnostic tool that provides valuable health insights but is not designed to diagnose diseases on its own. It should be used in conjunction with other medical evaluations and consultations.

No special preparation is needed. However, it's advisable to follow the specific instructions provided in the box and sample at least 3 hairs where the bulb is visible. You can check this by using the magnifying glass provided in the sampling box.
