BioPhotonic Scanner

In the body, a comprehensive network of antioxidants works together in synergy to afford effective protection from free radical damage.

This is an amazing electronic breakthrough.

The Biophotonic Scanner measures the level of carotenoid antioxidants in the skin. The level of skin carotenoids is a reflection of carotenoids in the body which is the strength of your body's antioxidant defense system. The antioxidant defense system consists of both intrinsic and extrinsic antioxidants. Intrinsic antioxidants are made in the body, often from nutrients we obtain in our diet. Extrinsic antioxidants can not be made by our body and so must be obtained from our diet.
Pharmanex® scientists collaborated with three major universities on this groundbreaking research which studied over 300 healthy subjects.

The Pharmanex® BioPhotonic Scanner provides a personalized, scientifically validated measurement of how diet and supplementation is protecting a person's cells and overall nutritional health.
The scanner was developed by Dr. Werner Gellermann from the University of Utah, Department of Physics, and several collaborators from the University's School of Medicine.

"In accordance with the Pharmanex 6S process, the BioScan technology is substantiated with both independent and Pharmanex sponsored research. Scientific reviews of the technology and application to measure skin carotenoids were published by Hata et al. (J. Invest. Dermatology 155:441-448, 2000) and Gellermann et al.(Optics Letters 26:1179-1181, 2001)." click here for more.
