INSIDE THE APP
HOW IT WORKS
BODY IMPACT SCORES
Most apps count calories. Glowscore reads the ingredient panel the way a curious eater would — and turns it into three quick scores so you can compare options at a glance.
MEET SAGE
Every food you scan affects Sage. Eat clean all day and it glows. One bad meal and you'll see it. By the end of the day, Sage is an honest read of how you actually ate — not how you meant to.
It resets each morning. The streak is yours to keep or break — and if you miss a day, streak freeze has your back.
Premium unlocks Week in Review: a 7-day strip showing exactly how Sage looked each day, plus a plain-English insight on what's dragging your scores down.
METHODOLOGY
Every score is a deterministic calculation from the ingredient list and nutrition panel. Same food always returns the same score.
2.5M+ products. Ingredient lists, macro/micro panels, serving sizes. Open data, fully auditable.
Each ingredient and nutrient carries a weight from meta-analyses on satiety, glycemic response, and inflammation. PubMed-sourced.
Each score rescaled 0–100 against the full product distribution. Not relative to your diet — absolute against the universe of scanned foods.
New studies move coefficients. Changelog published in-app. You can see exactly what changed and why.
Representative sources include EFSA additive re-evaluations, IARC Monographs, FDA regulations (e.g., 80 FR 34650 on partially hydrogenated oils), the WHO REPLACE trans-fat program, Halmos et al. Gastroenterology 2014 (FODMAPs), Hall et al. Cell Metabolism 2019 (ultra-processed foods), and Chassaing et al. Nature 2015 (emulsifiers). Full per-ingredient citations are listed in the in-app Learn section. Scores are algorithmic opinions, not statements of fact about any brand or product.
VS THE ALTERNATIVES
Yuka gives one black-box score. MyFitnessPal counts calories. Neither tells you what that granola bar is doing to your skin.

FROM THE BUILDER
I spent two years eating what I thought was "healthy" and still breaking out, still feeling bloated, still wondering what was actually doing it. Generic nutrition apps just count calories — they don't show you that the granola bar's sunflower oil drags its skin score down, or that plain Greek yogurt scores cleanly across the board. (Anecdotal — this was my experience, not a medical claim.)
Glowscore is what I built to make those comparisons fast. Scan it, see the score, know why it scored that way.
