What is a BioPhotonic Antioxidant Scanner?

It's a revolutionary tool developed by Pharmanex to measure the caroteniod antioxidant levels in your skin and prove the effectiveness of your supplements in improving your overall antioxidant health.

What does the scanner do?

Place the palm of your hand in front of the scanner's safe, low-energy blue light laser, and you will obtain an immediate reading of the carotenoid antioxidant levels in your skin: your skin cartenoid score.

Why should I get scanned?

By measuring the stable level of the carotenoid antioxidants in your skin and generating your skin cartenoid score, the scanner provides a more accurate and reliable biomarker of your overall antioxidant health status than other methods of measuring antioxidants.

Is the score important?

The antioxidant score from the biophotonic scanner is a very important score. It will tell a person if what their current regimen is giving them is the best results possible in terms of antioxidants. In other words, it will indicate if someone is eating enough fruits and vegetables, and/or if they are receiving value for the vitamin supplements they are using. Measuring one's antioxidant levels (body defense score) can be as important as monitoring cholesterol, triglycerides, body composition, and resting metabolic rate.

Skin Cartenoid Score

This scanner literally tells you your health future and how much disease you are going to experience (and how soon). Let’s take a closer look at what these numbers actually mean:

10,000 to 19,000: Alarmingly Poor – About half of the North American population scores in this potentially disastrous range. A Typical Smoker & Unhealthy Diet.These are people who don’t eat many fruits and vegetables, are under considerable stress, lead basically sedentary lives, and/or their nutritional supplementation is not working (is not being absorbed by the body and/or the product does not contain what the label says it does). They are consuming the standard North American diet and being exposed to environmental toxins. They can look forward to dealing with chronic diseases like heart disease, cancer or other degenerative diseases in their 40’s or early 50’s.These are diseases that should never appear that early in the human lifespan.

20,000 to 29,000: Very Weak – Few Vegetables & Ineffective Supplements. People in this category are possibly eating a couple of daily servings of fruits/vegetables, under considerable stress, very little exercise, and/or their nutritional supplementation is not working (is not being absorbed by the body and/or the product does not contain what the labels says it does). These people may also go out and eat pizza, fried foods, fast foods or junk foods. These people are going to show symptoms of chronic disease like heart disease, cancer or other degenerative diseases at a relatively young age (typically their 50’s).

30,000 to 39,000: Moderate – More healthy diets may start here, but are probably not enough for long term disease prevention. Typically, people in this group are eating 3 to 5 servings of fruits/vegetables per day, are under some degree of stress, do a low degree of light exercise, and their supplementation is likely to be only mildly effective. These people typically don’t smoke cigarettes or drink soft drinks, and they may drink various teas. They are in a slightly better position to not suffer from chronic diseases like heart disease, diabetes or cancer.

40,000 to 49,000: Nearing Safer Zone – We strongly advise everyone to strive for at least this level but definitely higher. LifePak nutritional supplementation / G3 Juice may allow most people to attain this degree of antioxidant protection. They are watching what they eat, avoiding eating fried foods, dairy products or white flour and are exercising. They are choosing to follow a healthy lifestyle by taking nutritional supplements and perhaps even organic foods.

50,000 +: Outstanding / Excellent – A program of exercise, healthy eating and proper nutritional supplementation can allow an individual to reach this level of optimal protection. They are very unlikely to get heart disease, nearly impossible to get cancer or suffer from neurodegenerative diseases. It is not just that the risk is reduced; it’s that these are close to IMPOSSIBLE. With this blood chemistry, with this level of circulating antioxidants, it is literally impossible for these diseases to appear. Why? Because disease is a process of cause and effect, not bad luck. They are typically consuming 6+ Fruit/Vegetables per day plus LifePak (2 times/day EVERY DAY) / G3 Juice!

• Soda
• Excess sugar
• Pesticides
• Antibiotics
• Genetics
