scanning overview
How the scanner works
The MonaVie VIEW Antioxidant Scanner scans for two types
of compounds in your body: carotenoids and flavonoids.
Carotenoids are largely responsible for the red, yellow, or
orange unsaturated pigments that are found in foods such
as carrots, sweet potatoes, and leafy green vegetables
and act as antioxidants. 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 also a strong indicator of the
antioxidant levels within your body.
When light photons from the visible light spectrum are
directed by the VIEW scanner toward your finger tissue, a
small fraction of diffusively backscattered light is collected
and analyzed, resulting in a measurement of the carotenoid
and flavonoid presence in your skin. Different types of light
are used to detect carotenoids vs. flavonoids.

What does your scanner score mean?
Your scanner will provide you with an initial result on the
OLED screen with a color-coded icon that represents a
scan result range. A more detailed result that actually
provides you with a numerical score is displayed in the
app on your mobile device once you have successfully
completed a scan. But what does your score mean? Your
score is a measurement of your antioxidant levels, which is
an indicator of your overall health. The color/score chart
below is divided into six main score ranges:
Red:
10,000–25,000
Orange:
25,001–40,000
Yellow:
40,001–55,000
Green:
55,001–70,000
Blue:
70,001–85,000
Purple:
85,001–100,000
