Biophotonic Scanner – How do you know your supplements are working??

I am SO excited to have recently acquired a biophotonic scanner. So what is a biophotonic scanner, you ask? It’s a device that measures the amount of carotenoids in the skin of your hand. The scanner sends out a light, and reads how the light bounces off your hand, or more specifically the carotenoids in it.

Why are caroteinoids important? They are an indicator of the strength of your anti-oxidant network and overall health. Low levels of carotenoids mean your body is less capable of fighting off free radicals and repairing oxidative stress. High carotenoids mean your body has a higher ability to maintain health and fight free radicals. In essence this scanner can tell you how healthy you are on the inside…and how well (or not well) your supplement works.

Just because a supplement is expensive does not mean that your body can utilize it properly. With this biophotonic scanner, we can see just how well your multi-vitamin is working and being absorbed in your body. I also have a multi-vitamin and a juice that I can guarantee will bring up your score.

Scans are $10 each, and it takes about 10 minutes total. Really, the scan just takes a minute itself. Let me know if you are interested, I’m happy to schedule an appointment. I also want my therapy and counseling clients to be scanned. It’s so important for kids to get proper nutrition, and many do not. I hate to say it, but the flintstones vitamins you are giving your kids might not really be absorbed in the way your child needs. Lets check it out!
