Since the Skin Caratanoid Score reflects only skin carotenoids, how good is it to assess my overall antioxidant defense?

The carotenoids are an important part of the body’s antioxidant network, and their tissue (skin) levels are an important indicator of the overall strength of the body’s antioxidant defense system. As a member of an important network, it is likely that carotenoids levels will be in balance with other components of the antioxidant defense system. As with all health tests, the biophotonically measured Skin Caratanoid Score is one of several possible indicators of your health. The antioxidant defense system can be measured by various tests: skin carotenoids, serum ORAC, serum antioxidant levels, urinary MDA, breathe pentane, serum 8-OHdG, serum lipid peroxides, etc.
