How Do You Know Your Nutrition is Working for You?

Please feel free to comment, so that the article may be developed.

How would you like to know what is going on in you body?

Are you healthy? How do you know? Is your lifestyle doing anything for you?

Researchers at the Huntsman Cancer Institute have developed the Biophotonic Scanner. Initially developed to look at eye health, this remarkable machine was developed to look at carotenoids in human tissue. This is a new, cutting-edge testing device that safely and easily measures a carotenoid antioxidant biomarker that provides immediate evidence of antioxidant activity.

What are Carotenoids?

Carotenoids are powerful antioxidants that are found in abundance in certain fruits and vegetables. They are absorbed in human plasma and tissue and provide an excellent indicator of a person's antioxidant health status.

By simply placing the palm of the hand in front of a low-energy blue light laser, you can obtain an immediate reading of your own antioxidant activity- your Skin Carotenoid Score.

Backed by over 30,000 papers in 30 years of research

Is this valid?

This has been subject to clinical trials comparing to blood tests, with a greater degree of accuracy

So what can I do about it?

Having now measured 2 million people, the data is there showing the effects of smoking, obesity and the benefits of a healthy diet and supplementation

So what is the bottom line?

For once in the nutrition industry, you can see if your supplements are working for you. Also, you want to know that something is safe, and has good science. With the scanner programme, we guarantee that they work. A performance guarantee.
