PureScore is an all-in-one scanning app for food, water, household products, and so much more. Each item gets a score of 0-100 depending on its harmful ingredients and hidden contaminants. Why PureScore? PureScore looks at more than just the ingredients of a product. We source and independently verify lab reports for food, water, and other household items for heavy metals, toxins, harmful ingredients, and chemicals that do not appear on a label. For example, we tested some of the most popular protein powders. Many of the "healthy" choices with no bad ingredients came back with heavy metals! Many foods, waters, and household cleaners do NOT go through any of this testing by the FDA. They slip through regulations and you have no clue what you are putting in your body. How Does PureScore Work? Scan or search for any food, supplement, water, clothing, and even pet food to see hidden containments. Each product will have a score from 0-100 based on ingredients, harmful hidden containments, and toxins exceeding EWG guidelines. Features: -Categories include food, water, apparel, pet food, and supplements. -Scan and search any of the above listed categories. -See the products score of 0-100 -Harmful contaminants listed -Contaminants are compared to EPA/FDA/EWG guidelines -See which trending "healthy" products are actually harmful for you. -Quick read articles to keep you up to date on our new discoveries.
