The Biophotonic Scanner operates on laser technology. The scanner is the only way to measure your skin carotenoids, an indicator of your overall antioxidants levels, accurately and noninvasively in less than two minutes. Until now we have only been able to hope our eating habits, supplements, and lifestyle choices have been impacting our health and wellness in a positive way.
Knowing your antioxidant level is as important as knowing your cholesterol levels, or your blood pressure. Current medical literature suggests that antioxidants can decrease your risk of cancer, heart disease, and complications related to diabetes. Antioxidants can boost your immune system and speed recovery times while decreasing pain and inflammation.
Since most Americans do not eat 8-12 servings of fruits and vegetables daily, 60% of American adults take nutritional supplements. The Biophotonic Scanner enables us to provide a non-invasive, painless, accurate, and low cost assessment of your nutritional status. Some have called the Scanner the nutritional lie detector. The scan gives you an antioxidant score, a baseline, and knowledge of how your diet, supplements, and life style choices are affecting your overall health.
As improvements are made, periodic rescans are the way to ensure one’s efforts to are increasing antioxidant levels. Focusing on three areas of improvement – diet, supplements, and lifestyle choices – can dramatically raise your scan score.
Diet: Eating a variety of colorful fruits and vegetables, as many organically grown items as you can afford, and limit amount of animal and trans fat products.
Supplements: Not all supplements are created equal. Look for natural, pharmaceutical grade, and supplements with a money back guarantee. Safety and scientifically backed recommendations are of utmost importance. Many supplements contain contaminants and inconsistent levels of ingredients.
Lifestyle choices: Smoking, drinking alcohol, and being overweight significantly impact one’s overall antioxidant levels. Consistent exercise, reduce stress, and getting adequate amounts of sleep have a positive effect on health.
