Why guess when you can measure with the MedGem®?

Measure Metabolism Quickly and Easily, and Scientifically!  MedGem and BodyGem are innovative new portable, handheld devices that measure resting metabolism, providing accurate and scientific measurement of the number of calories you burn each day while resting. Understanding your unique metabolism and monitoring changes provides essential control in managing nutrition, weight and general fitness.  Until now, the most common method of estimating your metabolic rate was use of a formula created from research in 1919.

What is Metabolism?
Metabolism is the body's process of combining nutrients with oxygen to produce the energy, to power our bodies. This energy, measured in calories, provides fuel for body functions, daily activities and exercise. Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) is the number of calories the body needs to maintain basic body function and typically represents 60 to 75 percent of a person's total metabolism. The key to weight management is balancing calories in with calories out.

Why Measure RMR?
Resting metabolism varies from person-to-person. Current methods of estimating RMR are inaccurate for many individuals. This leads to ineffective weight management plans. In addition, each individual's metabolism will change over time as a result of weight loss, caloric restriction, age, exercise or change in body composition. Frequent measurement provides valuable information required to adjust your health and fitness plans.
