How can my carotenoid score help me?
Your SCS can give you valuable insight into your diet and lifestyle choices that may be impacting your overall health and risk for chronic diseases. After making diet and lifestyle changes you will be able to track your SCS every 6 weeks or more. It takes 4-6 weeks at a minimum for the carotenoids in your diet to become assimilated into your skin cells for retesting. It's safe for all ages, so the entire family can track their healthy eating results together!
