Summary
This is one of the most exciting new health technologies I've seen in years: a scanner that detects the level of antioxidants in your tissues. A low score indicates poor health and the rapid onset of disease. A high score means your body is preventing chronic disease, warding off cancer, heart disease, neurodegenerative disorders and more. I've published a free downloadable report on this at Truth Publishing.

Pharmanex believes the results of a new study further prove that its BioPhotonic Scanner is an accurate and safe way to measure carotenoids that are being increasingly heralded for their health benefits.
- The company claims that the study showed that the scanner - a non-invasive method to measure carotenoid antioxidant activity in human tissue - produced carotenoid measurements with less variability than blood carotenoids (measured by conventional HPLC methods).
- The study also found a strong correlation between the BioPhotonic Scanner scores and blood carotenoids.
- During eight days they provided three fasted blood samples and three same-day Raman-spectroscopic determinations of skin carotenoids.
- The toaster-size scanner works by the patient placing the palm of his hand in front of a low-energy blue light laser, which allows him to obtain a reading of his carotenoid antioxidant level.
- Carsten Smidt, vice president of research and development for Pharmanex, told NutraIngredientsUSA.com that this method is also accurate because the reading is not altered by skin color or melanin levels.
- Smidt hopes that as more and more people have access to this equipment and are aware of their carotenoid score, they will be encouraged to up their intake of fruit and veg or begin the regular consumption of an antioxidant supplement.
- Pharmavex hopes to retify this situation by building a new factory in Shanghai, which should be open by the end of the year.
- The company is also carrying out further research in conjunction with several universities to see, among other things, how the scanner could be used in large scale health studies.
