Why Use The Scanner - MonaVie VIEW User Manual

Why Use the scanner?

There are many methods used in the health and wellness
arena to provide a snapshot of a person's health. The
MonaVie VIEW Antioxidant Scanner is a revolutionary
device that will allow you to quickly and easily use a
patented, non-invasive scan to determine a person's overall
antioxidant level. Specifically, the VIEW scanner measures
two critical elements within your body: carotenoids and
flavonoids. The scanner then creates a composite score
that is the most accurate antioxidant scan in the world. To
understand why all of this is so important, let's start with a
few brief definitions.
Antioxidants:
Simply put, an antioxidant is a molecule that inhibits the
oxidation of other molecules. Oxidation of molecules
can produce free radicals. Free radicals can start chain
reactions in a cell that can damage or even kill the cell. This
damage is called oxidative stress. The higher the level of
antioxidants in your body, the more likely you are to avoid
damaging or killing cells in your body that are vital to your
overall health.

Carotenoids:
Carotenoids are compounds that are commonly found in
foods such as sweet potatoes, leafy greens, vegetables,
carrots, and many fruits. A diet that is rich in carotenoids
is also rich in antioxidants and has been shown to aid
in improving and maintaining overall heath. Carotenoids
are present in your skin and can be measured using the
MonaVie VIEW Antioxidant Scanner.
Flavonoids:
Flavonoids are the most common group of polyphenols
(organic compounds and acids vital to your health) found in
plants and are critical to a healthy diet. Preliminary research
shows that flavonoids may modify many elements that affect
your body, including allergens, viruses, and carcinogens.
The presence of strong levels of flavonoids is a strong
indicator of the antioxidant levels within your body.
