Have you ever wondered that? I have and I take supplements because I believe our 21st century American diets are deficient in some nutrients, particularly antioxidants.
Antioxidants help protect you from free radical damage. We are each exposed every day to free radicals from smoking, pollution, sun exposure, preserved foods, excessive body fat, inactivity, even stress, to name just a few. We can do some things to lessen the free radical damage, such as, exercise, avoiding pollution and smoke, using sun block, eating a balanced diet and choosing more highly colored fruits and vegetables. BUT, I believe that is not enough, we also need well formulated nutritional supplements.
Now, we have the means to measure carotenes (one of the most important antioxidants) in the skin and get a Skin Carotenoid Score (SCS), which is an indicator of over all antioxidant status of the body.
This new measuring tool is called the Pharmanex Bio-Photonic Scanner, based on the Noble-prize winning technology: Resonance Raman Spectroscopy. You place your hand in front of a low-energy blue light. The result of the 1.5 minute test is not a biomarker that diagnoses or predicts a disease but a Skin Carotenoid Score that helps you determine if you are consuming an adequate amount of antioxidant containing nutrients. This SCS is a measure of long-term lifestyle and not just reflective of the bag of carrots you ate right before the test to make your score better!
We have the scanner and can help you keep your New Year's Resolution to be fit! Call us at 512-451-5788 for your appointment for the 1.5 minute scan with immediate results. It costs just $20. You and I can then discuss your score and how to improve it and track it.
