Boilerplate
Aurascan is a label scanner that translates ingredient lists on food, drinks, cosmetics, personal care and household products into plain-English explanations of how each ingredient may affect your body. Every claim is tagged with an evidence tier (human trials, observational studies, animal data, or mechanism) so readers can see not only what we know but how well we know it. Aurascan is available on the App Store for iPhone, with Android coming soon, at aurascan.app.
