Introducing the Prysm iO Scanner: A New Baseline Nutritional Wellness Assessment at Mito Core
At Mito Core, we believe the most effective treatment plans begin with objective baseline testing.
When we understand how your body is functioning before starting therapy, we can personalise your treatment plan, measure progress accurately, and achieve better long-term health outcomes.
As part of our commitment to advanced functional health assessment, we are pleased to introduce the Prysm iO scanner, a new addition to our baseline testing suite.
This innovative technology allows us to quickly measure skin carotenoid levels, an important biomarker of antioxidant status and nutritional wellness.
What is the Prysm iO scanner?
The Prysm iO scanner is a non-invasive nutritional wellness device that measures carotenoid levels in the skin using advanced optical technology.
Carotenoids are natural antioxidants found in colourful fruits and vegetables.
Because these nutrients accumulate in the skin, they can be measured safely without blood testing.
A simple finger scan takes less than 15 seconds and produces a personalised score that reflects your:
Antioxidant status
Fruit and vegetable intake
Nutritional quality
Oxidative stress levels
Overall dietary patterns
The device uses hyperspectral light absorption technology, analysing how light interacts with carotenoids in the skin to generate an accurate wellness score.
This technology is based on more than 20 years of research into carotenoid measurement and nutritional biomarkers.
Why are carotenoids important for health?
Carotenoids are powerful antioxidants found in foods such as:
Carrots
Leafy greens
Pumpkin
Capsicum
Tomatoes
Sweet potato
Berries
They help protect the body from oxidative stress, which contributes to:
Cellular damage
Chronic inflammation
Accelerated ageing
Poor recovery
Fatigue
Chronic disease risk
Higher carotenoid levels are generally associated with:
Higher intake of nutrient-dense foods
Stronger antioxidant defence systems
Better metabolic health
Improved cellular resilience
Lower inflammation levels
Because carotenoids build up in the skin, they provide a reliable marker of long-term nutritional status.
What does your Prysm score tell us?
Your Prysm iO score gives insight into how well your diet and lifestyle are supporting your body at a cellular level.
Your result may be influenced by:
Fruit and vegetable intake
Supplement use
Smoking status
Stress levels
Sleep quality
Exercise habits
Body composition
Metabolic health
Inflammation and oxidative stress
Many people are surprised to discover that their diet is not providing the antioxidant support their body needs.
This test helps us identify areas where nutrition, lifestyle, or supplementation can be improved.
Why we include the Prysm iO scan in baseline testing at Mito Core
At Mito Core, we use multiple forms of functional testing to understand different aspects of your health.
Your initial consultation includes baseline assessments such as:
InBody Scan with InGrip Analysis
Measures body composition, muscle mass, visceral fat, hydration and functional strength.
Live Blood Analysis
Allows real-time observation of blood cell health, inflammation patterns, immune activity and circulation.
RBTI (Reams Biological Theory of Ionisation)
Evaluates metabolic balance, hydration, digestive efficiency and mineral utilisation using saliva and urine testing.
Optional OligoScan
Assesses tissue mineral levels and possible heavy metal accumulation.
Prysm iO Scanner
Measures antioxidant status and nutritional resilience using skin carotenoid levels.
Each test looks at a different layer of physiology.
Together, these assessments allow us to build a detailed and personalised picture of your health.
Can the Prysm iO scan track progress over time?
Yes.
One of the biggest advantages of the Prysm iO scanner is the ability to measure changes over time.
As your nutrition improves, carotenoid levels often increase.
We may see improvements when patients:
Increase vegetable intake
Improve diet quality
Reduce inflammation
Optimise supplementation
Improve metabolic health
Reduce oxidative stress
Repeating the scan allows us to confirm that your treatment plan is working.
This makes your care more precise, more personalised, and more effective.
Why baseline testing leads to better treatment plans
At Mito Core, we do not rely on guesswork.
By combining data from:
InBody body composition testing
Live blood analysis
RBTI metabolic testing
OligoScan mineral testing
Prysm iO antioxidant scanning
we can design a treatment plan based on real physiological information, not assumptions.
Health optimisation begins with understanding where you are today.
The Prysm iO scanner helps us do that with greater clarity than ever before.
Frequently Asked Questions about the Prysm iO scanner
Is the Prysm iO scan safe?
Yes. The scan is completely non-invasive and uses light technology only. There is no radiation and no needles.
How long does the scan take?
The scan takes about 15 seconds.
Do I need to fast before the scan?
No preparation is required.
What does a low carotenoid score mean?
It may indicate low fruit and vegetable intake, increased oxidative stress, or higher nutritional needs.
Can my score improve?
Yes. Scores often improve with better nutrition, lifestyle changes, and targeted supplementation.
