REVELSTOKE, BC, April 6, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Cronometer, a micronutrient tracking app, announces the addition of Immune System Nutrition Scores and women's Nutrition Targets to their mobile app. This announcement is significant to the 50 million American adults managing their health through diets¹ that specify calorie intake but not micronutrients levels. Ignoring proper micronutrients levels has been shown to contribute to several major illnesses, such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, cancer, and osteoporosis².

Breakdown of the Cronometer Immune Support scoring: These vitamins and minerals are needed to protect your body from infections caused by bacteria and viruses, and to balance your body's inflammation. Your immune health score is calculated from vitamins B12, folate, A, C, D, as well as copper, zinc, omega 6, omega 3 and the ratio of omega 3:6.

The nutrition scores are percentages against the NUDA's Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) for the nutrients that contribute to Immune Support, bone health and others. Users often bring these reports to their health practitioner to add in diagnosis of nutrition related ailments.

"Cronometer is a great tool. We can adjust the targets for any nutrient for each person, we can keep other data (such as blood sugars or sleep time) in the same platform, and we find the charts and reports actually useful!" said Christopher Gardner, Faculty Director and Director of Nutrition Studies Group, Stanford University. "People find the entry of foods is easy with many shortcuts available and a robust food database with accurate nutrient information, which helps them stick to their diets."

Included Nutritional Scores such immune system, bone health, blood health, and antioxidant reports to optimize your nutrition
