What Supplements Can Help Improve Your Prysm iO Score?

What Supplements Can Help Improve Your Prysm iO Score?

If you’ve used the Prysm iO scanner, you already know it provides a fascinating snapshot of your body’s antioxidant status by measuring carotenoid levels in the skin. But once you see your score, the next natural question is:

What can I do to support and improve it?

The answer isn’t about quick fixes or megadoses. Prysm iO reflects long-term nutrient absorption, antioxidant balance, and lifestyle consistency. Below, we’ll break down the types of supplements that can support higher carotenoid levels over time—and how to use Prysm iO as a guide for smarter wellness choices.


Understanding What Prysm iO Measures

Prysm iO measures skin carotenoid levels, which are fat-soluble antioxidants derived primarily from colorful fruits and vegetables. These compounds help protect the body from oxidative stress and are associated with overall wellness and healthy aging.

Importantly, Prysm iO doesn’t just reflect what you take—it reflects what your body absorbs and retains over time. That’s why supplementation strategy matters.

1. Carotenoid-Focused Antioxidant Supplements

To support a higher Prysm score, prioritize supplements that contain carotenoids—the same nutrient family Prysm iO measures.

Key carotenoids include:

  • Beta-carotene

  • Lutein

  • Zeaxanthin

  • Lycopene

  • Astaxanthin

These compounds gradually accumulate in the skin with consistent daily intake, making them especially relevant for Prysm tracking.

2. Polyphenols and Plant Compounds That Support Antioxidant Balance

While polyphenols (such as anthocyanins from berries) aren’t carotenoids themselves, they help create a healthier antioxidant environment in the body. This can indirectly support better carotenoid stability and utilization.

Look for supplements derived from:

  • Blueberries, bilberries, or black currants

  • Purple or deeply pigmented plant sources

  • Broad-spectrum plant antioxidant blends

These compounds complement carotenoids rather than replace them.


3. Gut Health Supplements for Better Absorption

One of the most overlooked factors in Prysm scores is absorption. Even a nutrient-rich diet won’t reflect well on Prysm if digestion or gut balance is compromised.

Supportive supplements may include:

  • Probiotics

  • Prebiotics

  • Digestive-support formulas (when tolerated)

A healthier gut supports more efficient uptake of fat-soluble antioxidants like carotenoids.


4. Healthy Fats Matter More Than You Think

Carotenoids are fat-soluble, meaning they absorb best when consumed alongside healthy fats.

Helpful additions include:

  • Omega-3 fatty acids

  • Fish oil or algae-based oils

  • Olive oil or avocado-based supplements

Taking carotenoid supplements with meals that include healthy fats can significantly improve bioavailability—something Prysm iO can help you observe over time.


5. Consistency, Not Speed, Improves Prysm Scores

Most people who see meaningful Prysm improvements do so over 2–8 weeks of consistent routines. Prysm doesn’t reward extremes—it reflects sustainable habits.

That includes:

  • Regular supplementation

  • Balanced meals

  • Adequate sleep

  • Stress management

This makes Prysm iO especially useful for tracking lifestyle changes, not just products.

Using Prysm iO as a Wellness Feedback Tool

Rather than guessing whether your supplements are working, Prysm iO allows you to observe trends over time. It’s not a medical test, but it can be a powerful wellness awareness tool—especially when paired with intentional supplementation and lifestyle choices.


Final Takeaway

To support a higher Prysm iO score:

  • Focus on carotenoid-rich antioxidants

  • Support gut health and absorption

  • Include healthy fats

  • Stay consistent and patient

Prysm iO reflects what your body is doing with nutrients—not just what you’re taking.
