About the Pharmanex(R) BioPhotonic Scanner
The Pharmanex(R) BioPhotonic Scanner is the first to use innovative laser
technology to non-invasively measure the concentration of carotenoid
antioxidants in the body's tissue; antioxidants protect the body at the
cellular level against the effects of aging and the environment. The Scanner
score provides a scientifically validated measurement of how a person's diet
and supplementation program is protecting his or her body's cells and overall
nutritional health. By consistently tracking carotenoid antioxidant levels in
the body, consumers are equipped with the knowledge to maintain a lifestyle
and nutrition program that will help boost antioxidant levels and maintain
proper nutrition and health. Currently, over 4,000 Scanners are in operation
throughout the world and over two million people have been scanned.
