Common BMC Questions
How Does BMC Work?
• Provides a precise assessment of fat to lean tissue and serves as a benchmark for program goals.
• Shows how much fat you’re actually losing. Most people lose motivation because they reach a plateau when exercising. Your body may still be losing fat and gaining muscle mass but the scales won’t tell you this!
• Keep track of how much body fat you’ve lost instead of relying on the bathroom scale.
Who Is It For?
• Individuals on weight loss programs
• Weight lifters
• Athletes
• Individuals who need to manage conditions such as secondary osteoporosis, growth hormone treatment, anabolic steroids therapy, eating disorders, Cushing’s syndrome, hyperparathyroidism, cachexic disorders (AIDS, cancer) and malabsorptive syndromes.
Is the test safe?
This is a safe and non-invasive exam that scans the body in 10-20 minutes. It’s painless and will show exactly where fat is distributed throughout the body.
What will the results show?
• Total body mineral
• Fat free lean mass
