What Is Vitamin, Mineral & Heavy Metal Analysis?
Before starting any supplement or IV support, it is important to know the body's current vitamin-mineral status; supplements taken without determining the need can be ineffective. This analysis uses comprehensive blood tests to assess vitamin-mineral levels and, if needed, the accumulation of heavy metals such as lead and mercury in the tissues. In Ankara, this analysis is carried out with laboratory support at Prof. Dr. Ömer Karakoç's clinic.

This varies according to the scope of the analysis, but results generally come back within a few days to a few weeks. The exact time is notified by the laboratory.
Why is heavy-metal analysis important?
Detecting heavy metals such as lead and mercury that accumulate in the body due to environmental exposure can help in the assessment of some complaints of unclear origin.
How is a treatment plan derived from the analysis result?
Results are assessed by the physician; a personalised supplement or IV support plan may be recommended for areas where a deficiency is detected.
