Pharmanex®'s BioPhotonic Scanner is a new, cutting-edge testing device that safely and easily measures a carotenoid antioxidant biomarker that provides immediate evidence of antioxidant activity. Carotenoids are pow erful antioxidants that are found in abundance in certain fruits and vegetables. They are absorbed in human plasma and tissue and provide an excellent indicator of a person's antioxidant health status.
By simply placing the palm of the hand in front of a low-energy blue light laser, LifePak® consumers obtain an immediate reading of their own antioxidant activity—their Skin Carotenoid Score. As they continue to participate in the LifePak® antioxidant supplementation program, consumers can track their Skin Carotenoid Score for evidence of improved antioxidant activity and protection. They can also compare their scores to scores of others on the Pharmanex® Body Defense Index, a summary of all participants scanned in the world. Consumers are then empowered with personalized assessment that can be used to develop an antioxidant defense strategy.

Pharmanex® is the exclusive owner of the patented BioPhotonic Scanner technology. Developed by doctors and physicists at a top U.S. research university, the Scanner is the world's first BioPhotonic measuring device for the presence of carotenoids in the skin. The scanning technology will be made available to the general public through Pharmanex's network of independent representatives who specialize in health education and distribution of nutritional supplements.
