What is NutriCode?

The NutriCode is a patent pending new tool to view the nutrient composition of foods without having to add and subtract numeric nutrient values. The NutriCode makes it easy to compare different foods or instantly see exactly what nutrients are contained in any food and how each of your food choices affects your daily dietary goals.

The left to right sequence of the NutriCode in the 19 bar HealthKeeper exactly matches the Nutrition Facts labels to the left of the NutriCode. The higher a nutrient is displayed toward the top of the Nutritional Facts label, the more important it is to the average Americans' health concerns and risks.

How to Use the 4 or 19 Bar NutriCode for Various Medical and Health Conditions

The NutriCode has many health and performance uses. For example, an individual with heart disease could use the NutriCode to track various fats, fiber and calories. An individual with renal disease could use the NutriCode to track protein, sodium and potassium. Diabetes sufferers could track carbohydrate, protein, fat, sugar and fiber. Pregnant women could track carbohydrate, protein, calcium and iron. For liver disease, an individual could track protein and sodium and those individuals on an anti-cancer program could track fat, saturated fat, vitamins A and C and fiber. Each medical condition, disease or health and fitness objective has its own unique nutritional dictates that can be supported by the HealthKeeper and NutriCodes.

The NutriCode is currently available in 2 versions – the Basic 4 Bar and the Advanced 19 Bar versions. To use the NutriCode properly it is important to know when to use the 4 or 19 bar view option. If you are dieting, trying to lose or gain weight, use the easier 4 bar option. If you have a medical condition such as diabetes, heart disease, cancer, liver disease, are pregnant or are using the HealthKeeper to improve your nutrition, use the 19 bar option.
