Your Skin Carotenoid Score: A Snapshot of Nutritional Health
Measure Your Carotenoid Antioxidants with a Non-Invasive Scanner in London
see how well your body is absorbing antioxidants with a non-invasive scan backed by Nobel Prize-winning science.
The Story Behind the S3 Scanner
How does the Scanner measure carotenoids?
The patented Pharmanex BioPhotonic Scanner is a cutting edge testing tool that non-invasively measures carotenoid levels in living tissue, providing an immediate indication of a person’s overall antioxidant levels. This empowers individuals to make improvements to their diet and lifestyle and helps them make an informed decision on which supplements are properly formulated to impact their antioxidant health.
This technology was born over two decades ago in the very same University of Utah laboratories where the world’s first artificial heart was developed. It started with a four-foot argon laser a groundbreaking, Nobel Prize-winning technology that allowed scientists to measure carotenoid levels in the body, non-invasively and within seconds. Developed using the principles of Raman Spectroscopy the same scientific breakthrough that earned Sir C.V. Raman the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1930 the scanner emits a safe, low-energy blue light that detects the presence of carotenoids in the skin.
That innovation has evolved significantly. From the original lab-based prototype to today’s compact S2 and S3 devices, the technology has now delivered more than 25 million scans across 15 million individuals, generating over 100 million data points on global nutritional trends.
The Pharmanex BioPhotonic Scanner is a science-led tool, developed by doctors and physicists in 2003 at a leading U.S. research university. It measures the concentration of carotenoids powerful plant-based compounds in the skin, which serve as a reliable indicator of your carotenoid intake from diet and supplementation.
By simply placing your hand in front of a safe, low-energy blue light, the Scanner provides you with a Skin Carotenoid Score. This number empowers you to make informed, practical changes to your lifestyle and nutrition and track your progress over time.
The Scanner is a motivational tool, helping you to understand how well your body is absorbing the carotenoids found in colourful fruits and vegetables or in targeted nutritional support.
Backed by 18 international patents, over 180 white papers and 110 clinical studies, this technology is changing the way we approach supplementation offering measurable wellness that puts the power of nutrition in your hands.
What does your Scanner score mean?
Depending on your dietary habits, supplementation and the capacity of your body to absorb carotenoids, your individual SCS may vary. Once you know your SCS, it is time to improve it by doing the following:
Act on your diet by eating at least 5 to 10 servings of carotenoid-rich fruits and vegetables each day.
Take care of yourself by applying a healthy dietary lifestyle.
Supplement with the Scanner certified products, Lifepak+, JVi, MultiBeauty and Collagen+. They are certified to help provide your body with an adequate amount of carotenoids.
Why is Oxidative Stress a problem?
Why Oxidative Stress Matters
Research now links oxidative stress to over 200 chronic conditions, as shown in peer-reviewed studies. From cardiovascular concerns and fertility challenges in both men and women to hearing decline, gut inflammation, joint pain and age-related cognitive changes. The impact of unchecked oxidative stress is wide-ranging. It’s also a known contributor to various skin conditions and inflammatory diseases.
Interestingly, scientific studies have found that certain gene expressions associated with better oxidative stress resistance are also tied to longer lifespans. This points to a powerful conclusion: reducing free radical damage is not just about feeling better now it’s essential for healthy ageing.

Understanding Oxidative Stress: Why It Matters for Your Wellness
At NAGER London, we recognise oxidative stress as a key factor in how our bodies age, recover and perform. It occurs when the body’s production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) byproducts of normal metabolism outpaces its ability to neutralise them with antioxidants. This imbalance can quietly impact everything from skin health to energy levels and long-term resilience. While your body has its own defence systems, like enzymes and nutrients that neutralise free radicals, modern lifestyles often challenge that balance. That’s why we offer non-invasive antioxidant scanning to help you track how well your body is absorbing protective compounds like carotenoids. With insight into your antioxidant status, you can take simple, science-backed steps to support your biology and reduce the cellular wear and tear linked to oxidative stress.

AFTER
Why the BioPhotonic Scanner Stands Out:
Fast & Painless: Less than a minute with a simple hand scan.
Scientifically Proven: Built on Nobel Prize-winning technology.
Instant Results: Provides an immediate Skin Carotenoid Score (SCS).
Customised Wellness Insights: Helps tailor lifestyle, dietary and supplement recommendations to boost cellular health.
Track Progress: Regular scans empower clients to monitor and improve their antioxidant levels over time.
The combination of these products has proven to be truly revolutionary technology. It’s the first and only company to offer consumers an exclusive way to measure how well their supplements are working. This changed the way consumers look at their health and quality of life.
Discover What Your Body Isn’t Telling You — Yet
30-Minute Antioxidant & Nutritional Insight Scan – Introductory Price: £10
At NAGER London, we believe that wellness should be accessible, insightful and grounded in science. That’s why we’re offering our BioPhotonic Scanner service at a special introductory rate of £10 with complimentary scans for our swim clients.
This 30-minute consultation isn’t just a scan, it’s a moment of clarity.
In just seconds, you'll receive your personal Skin Carotenoid Score a non-invasive measurement that reflects how well your body is absorbing protective antioxidants from food or supplements.
Why does this matter?
Because oxidative stress the silent imbalance between free radicals and your body’s defences can quietly impact everything from energy and skin health to resilience and ageing.
Your body fights back daily using internal antioxidants like Superoxide Dismutase (SOD), but modern life can tip that balance. The scan gives you a simple, science-backed way to check in with no needles, no guesswork.
We’re proud to offer this technology not just as a test, but as a tool for empowerment so more people can take proactive steps toward their long-term wellbeing.
