You would need to visit the lab for a screening visit lasting one hour and then again on two different days, spending approximately 1.5 hours in the laboratory for testing.

You will be asked to provide two blood and two urine samples, have your skin health determined by Pear 3D scan, have circumference measures taken, have skin health measured, and fill out periodic questionnaires on your health and quality of life.
