Have you ever wondered how certain essential nutrients keep you healthy? With Nutrition Scores, you get a more digestible look at how you’re succeeding with nutritional intake specific to certain health categories like immune support, metabolism support and more.
Nutrients aren’t eaten in isolation but as part of the foods that make up your diet. Studies using single nutrients to improve health have generally yielded mixed results, so we’ve introduced a more holistic approach which looks at nutrient profiles.
What Is A Nutrition Score?
Each Nutrition Score is made up of a group of nutrients that work together to contribute to your health. This gives you the bigger picture view of how your diet is meeting your nutrition goals.
Nutrition Scores are calculated from how much of each nutrient target and nutrient ratio in the category you have achieved, based on the data available in the foods you have logged to your Diary. Reaching your Daily Target for a nutrient maximizes your Nutrition Score, while exceeding your Maximum Target will reduce your score in that category.
Keep in mind, the Dietary Reference Intakes apply to the healthy general population and are not meant to apply to those who are deficient or in conditions that may cause an increased requirement. If you have customized your nutrient targets to meet your needs, your Nutrition Scores will be calculated from the targets you have chosen.
