How does Vitastiq work?

Vitastiq integrates the pioneering EAV (Electroacupuncture According to Voll) technique, developed by the German physician Reinhold Voll, into a modern health tracking tool that pairs with your smartphone or tablet. This innovative approach measures the electrical conductivity at specific points on the body, each associated with different organs and systems, to provide a detailed snapshot of the user’s nutritional health. The foundation of this methodology lies in the discovery that acupuncture points exhibit unique electrical conductivities, distinct from the surrounding skin, reflecting the body’s vitamin and mineral status and offering deep insights into nutritional well-being.

While Vitastiq is not a medical device, it adopts this principle to guide users in monitoring their health trends, focusing on the qualitative aspects of vitamin and mineral levels without quantifying them. It is designed to enhance lifestyle and fitness tracking by indicating overall health trends, leveraging the established EAV methodology that has been recognized for its effectiveness since the 1950s. However, it’s crucial to note that Vitastiq does not have the capability to diagnose, treat, or prevent medical conditions. By consistently tracking health trends over time, Vitastiq encourages a proactive approach to maintaining a balanced and healthy lifestyle, serving as an adjunct to traditional health monitoring practices.

Dr. Reinhold Voll (1909–1989), a German physician and researcher, revolutionized holistic medicine by introducing Electroacupuncture according to Voll (EAV) and Electro-Dermal Screening (EDS). These innovative methods merge traditional acupuncture principles with electrical measurements to assess the body's energetic imbalances, emphasizing a holistic approach to health.
