mBCA
Medical Body Composition Analysis
Go Beyond the Scale. Understand Your Body.
At Colonia Pharmacy, we are proud to offer the seca mBCA (Medical Body Composition Analysis) — an advanced, medical-grade body composition scan that gives you real insight into your health.
Unlike a traditional scale that only shows weight, the seca mBCA measures:
- Body fat percentage
- Skeletal muscle mass
- Visceral fat (dangerous fat around organs)
- Segmental muscle balance (arms, legs, torso)
- Phase angle (a marker of cellular health and resiliency)
This is not a gym device — it is a clinically validated tool used in medical offices, wellness centers, and research settings.
Why Get a seca mBCA Scan?
Personalized Health Insights
Whether your goal is weight loss, muscle gain, metabolic health, or longevity, the seca mBCA helps you track what truly matters — fat loss vs. muscle loss, hydration status, and metabolic changes.
Metabolic and Cardiovascular Awareness
