Functional Nutritional Scanning

A non-invasive Skin Carotenoid Score, taken with a handheld scanner.

The Pharmanex Scanner is a handheld device that measures the level of carotenoid antioxidants in the skin.

Using safe, low-energy blue light and Resonance Raman Spectroscopy, the scanner provides a Skin Carotenoid Score (SCS) that indicates the level of carotenoids present in the skin.

It’s a non-invasive tool used to monitor the effectiveness of nutritional interventions and motivate individuals to increase their intake of fruits and vegetables for a healthier lifestyle.

Lauren also refers to this program as biophotonic scanning.

Carotenoids are the pigments in colorful fruits and vegetables.

Illustrative only. Your actual Skin Carotenoid Score can only be measured with a scan.

What a scan is like

  • You place the palm of your hand on the handheld scanner.
  • The reading takes about 30 seconds.
  • Non-invasive — safe, low-energy blue light. No needles, no blood draw.
  • Your Skin Carotenoid Score is discussed with you afterwards.

Scans are done in person by appointment. If you are outside the Pace, Florida area, ask Lauren on a Discovery Call what is possible.
