Good nutrition is one of the most powerful investments you can make in your long-term health—but how do you know if your body is truly getting the nutrients it needs?

The PRYSM™ Nutrition Score is an innovative, non-invasive wellness assessment that measures carotenoid antioxidant levels in your skin. In just seconds, it provides a personalized Nutrition Score that reflects your intake of colorful fruits and vegetables and offers valuable insights into your overall nutritional wellness.

At Apex Longevity Lab, we use the PRYSM Nutrition Score as an educational tool to help individuals better understand their nutritional habits and make informed lifestyle choices that support healthy aging.

What Is the PRYSM Nutrition Score?

The PRYSM scanner is a handheld optical device that uses Resonance Raman Spectroscopy (RRS) to measure carotenoid antioxidant levels stored in the skin.

Carotenoids are naturally occurring plant pigments found in colorful fruits and vegetables such as:

  • Carrots

  • Spinach

  • Kale

  • Tomatoes

  • Bell peppers

  • Sweet potatoes

  • Mangoes

Because carotenoids accumulate in the skin over time, they provide a useful indicator of long-term fruit and vegetable intake rather than what you ate yesterday.

The scan is painless, non-invasive, and takes less than one minute.

Why Are Carotenoids Important?

Carotenoids are naturally occurring antioxidants that help protect cells from oxidative stress generated through normal metabolism and everyday environmental exposures.

A diet rich in colorful fruits and vegetables has been associated with supporting:

  • Healthy aging

  • Cellular wellness

  • Immune health

  • Heart health

  • Brain health

  • Eye health

  • Skin health

  • Overall nutritional wellness

The Nutrition Score provides an easy way to monitor one important aspect of your nutritional status and encourage healthier eating habits over time.
