It is not necessary to do a dozen tests to understand what vitamins and minerals your body needs.
Vitastiq is a small pen-like gadget. His work is based on the method of tissue bioelectrical resistance - bioimpedance measurement. By applying the guide pen to specific points on the body, you will receive an average of the level of vitamins and minerals in your body. Vitastiq analyzes the level of 26 vitamins and minerals in total.
How accurately Vitastiq determines the level of vitamins and minerals
Naturally, a household measuring device is always inferior in accuracy to laboratory research. And a non-invasive method will not be as accurate as an invasive one. Vitastiq is positioned as an information gadget, so the user will not see specific numbers in the application: all data is presented as a color scale.
Nevertheless, according to the results of the clinical study Clinical Evaluation of the Accuracy of Vitastiq Device for Tracking Vitamin and Mineral Trend in Human Body, Vitastiq showed good accuracy: at least 70% of the results within one measurement correspond to a clinical blood test. At the same time, the reproducibility of the results is shown to be about 80%.
How to check the accuracy of Vitastiq
You can check the device for accuracy by taking a blood test. True, not all indicators that Vitastiq analyzes can be checked in any laboratory. And often the cost of one analysis for a certain mineral can reach tens of thousands of rubles.
Some authors of Vitastiq reviews have already gone through similar studies Vitastiq vitamin tracker review & blood test comparison and concluded that the Vitastiq device works correctly within the stated error. Here are some values from such a review.
1. Vitamin B12. Allowed range of values: 150-700 pmol / l
- Amount according to the results of a blood test: 352 pmol / l.
- Vitastiq data: good level.
2. Magnesium. Acceptable range of values: 0.65-1.05 mmol / L
- Amount according to the results of a blood test: 0.84 mmol / l.
- Vitastiq data: low.
3. Iron. Acceptable range of values: 13–375 µg / L
- Amount based on blood test results: 60 μg / L.
- Vitastiq data: low.
What Vitastiq looks like
The gadget is like a pen, the shaft of which is a measuring conductor.
Now an updated Vitastiq 2 device has appeared on sale, which differs from the first version only in that it is wireless. There is a charging connector at the top of the handle.
The device is convenient and lightweight, with a case included, so you can easily take it on a trip.
Vitastiq App
The device connects to a smartphone via Bluetooth. The application supports Russian.
Of the settings, perhaps only the sections "Template" and "Journal" are of interest. In the "Template" section, you can select the vitamins and minerals that you plan to analyze. Moreover, you can not only choose from the pre-installed ones, but also create a template manually by adding an individual script.
The device supports multiple profiles. In order not to get confused in the reports, the user can create different accounts for all family members. All measurements for all profiles will be collected in the "Log" section.
How the measurement takes place
When all the necessary settings are made, you need to press the big button "Start" on the smartphone display and follow the instructions. First, you should go through a short calibration: it consists in swiping the device rod several times over the thumb.
Depending on the template, the user is prompted to gently, gently pressing, sequentially move the device from point to point following the visual instructions on the screen. First on the arm, then on the leg, face and torso.
Each result is displayed in real time. The fact that the measurement of a specific point has been completed is indicated by vibration and an acoustic signal. This is marked with a tick on the display.
Detailed statistics are collected in the report in the "Journal" section.
You can open each such item and see a graph of changes in the level of vitamins. So you can conclude how changes in diet, regimen and intake of vitamin complexes affect your body.
Vitastiq has no analogues. At the same time, the cost of the device is significantly lower than the cost of one-time clinical tests.
