Nutriguard-MS

What the results tell you

Nutriguard-MS records resistance and reactance at 5, 50 and 100 kHz. Converting electrical values into composition estimates depends on the corresponding software and analysis. Standard four-electrode whole-body testing differs from regional testing, which needs appropriate connections and procedures. Ask whether you receive an understandable composition report or raw measurements intended for further professional analysis.

How the test works

Testing is supine with adhesive electrodes on the hand and foot. The operator measures or enters weight and height and positions you and the contacts according to the manual. Electrical tissue properties are recorded and interpreted using the relevant model. Electrode placement and rest before recording matter for repeatability; contact location is not a trivial detail.

When the test is useful

Supine testing is an alternative to a standing scale and can form part of professional nutrition assessment. Tracking requires the inputs and conditions as well as the final fat percentage. A professional can relate electrical and calculated values to your question. The analyser alone cannot prescribe diet or treatment or explain altered body water.

Preparing for your visit

Follow the location’s instructions for meals, exertion and rest. Keep timing, hydration and position similar at follow-up, and record updated weight or height correctly. Another brand’s preparation instructions do not replace this model’s manual. Tell the location about electronic implants and circumstances affecting testing; it assesses suitability.

Reading results and understanding limitations

Electrical measurements and calculated composition are different kinds of result. Estimates depend on equations, inputs and hydration. Short-interval changes may reflect water and routine variability. Readings from different devices cannot automatically form one trend. Unusual values require assessment context rather than an automatic diagnosis from one number.

Choosing a testing location

Confirm software and mode. A regional feature in the manual does not mean it is included in every service or standard four-electrode test.
