At Integrative Health & Sports Medicine, we offer advanced, non-invasive antioxidant testing with the revolutionary S3 BioPhotonic Scanner. This cutting-edge device provides a quick and painless way to measure your body’s antioxidant levels, giving us critical insights into your overall health in just 60 seconds.

 

What Is the S3 BioPhotonic Scanner?

The S3 BioPhotonic Scanner is the first device of its kind, designed to assess your body’s antioxidant levels through a simple scan of your palm. Using patented photon technology, the scanner delivers an accurate reading of your body’s antioxidant defense system, which plays a vital role in preventing oxidative stress and supporting overall health.

How Does It Work?

The S3 BioPhotonic Scanner uses low-energy blue light to measure the carotenoid levels in your skin. Carotenoids are a key marker of your body’s antioxidant levels, which help fight free radicals and reduce the risk of chronic disease. The scan is quick, non-invasive, and safe, providing results in under a minute.

Why Antioxidant Levels Matter

Antioxidants are essential for protecting your cells from damage caused by free radicals, which can contribute to aging, chronic disease, and inflammation. By knowing your antioxidant levels, we can:

  • Assess your overall health and oxidative stress levels

  • Tailor dietary and lifestyle recommendations to boost antioxidant intake

  • Track your progress as you make healthier lifestyle changes

  • Prevent disease by ensuring your body has the optimal defense against free radicals

Benefits of the S3 BioPhotonic Scanner

  1. Fast and Accurate: Get a reliable reading of your antioxidant levels in less than 60 seconds.

  2. Non-Invasive: The scan is completely painless and does not require blood samples or invasive procedures.

  3. Personalized Health Insights: Based on your scan results, we provide customized nutrition and lifestyle recommendations to improve your antioxidant levels and support long-term health.

  4. Monitor Progress: With regular scans, you can easily track the impact of your dietary changes, supplements, and overall lifestyle improvements on your antioxidant status.

Who Should Use the S3 BioPhotonic Scanner?

The S3 BioPhotonic Scanner is beneficial for anyone interested in improving their health and longevity, especially those who:

  • Want to reduce oxidative stress and improve overall wellness

  • Are looking for personalized nutrition guidance based on real data

  • Need help optimizing their antioxidant intake

  • Have an active lifestyle and want to protect their body from cellular damage
