Pharmanex biophotonic scanner
 

The Origins of the BioPhotonic Scanner

Developed by doctors and physicists at the University of Utah, the BioPhotonic Scanner was initially created to measure carotenoids in the eye for eye health diagnosis. This innovative tool is now the world’s first and only device that measures carotenoid antioxidant levels non-invasively in living human tissue. Pharmanex, a subsidiary of Nu Skin, acquired the technology about 15 years ago and has invested over $100 million in developing the present-day BioPhotonic Scanner.

The Science Behind the Scanner

The technology behind the BioPhotonic Scanner is based on an optical method known as Resonance Raman Spectroscopy, which has been used for many years in research laboratories.

How Pharmanex’s Biophotonic Scanner Works

The scanner produces a narrow beam of light in which all the photons are the same color – blue. This blue light has a wavelength of 473 nanometers. When a 473 nm photon of light comes into contact with a carotenoid, the photon begins to vibrate and becomes a 510 nm photon and turns green. The only molecule that can cause a 473 nm photon to shift to a 510 nm photon is a carotenoid. Because the number of green photons reflected back to the scanner is directly proportional to the concentration of carotenoids in the skin, they are counted to create an accurate Scanner Carotenoid Score (SCS).

The SCS is more accurate than blood serum tests because carotenoid levels measured in the blood can change rapidly if one ingests foods high in carotenoids, while the outer layer of the skin (stratum) scan reflects levels derived from consumption many weeks prior. Individual genetic differences can slightly influence the rate of antioxidant absorption and therefore your personal Skin Carotenoid Score.

    • High stress

    • High sun or pollution exposure

    • Smoker or exposure to secondhand smoke

  • Middle score: 28,000-50,000

    • Moderate consumption of fruits and vegetables

    • Regular supplementation

    • Medium BMI (24-27)

    • Moderate stress

    • Moderate sun or pollution exposure

  • High score: 50,000+

    • High consumption of fruits and vegetables

    • Optimal supplementation

    • High BMI (28 or higher)

    • Low stress

    • Low sun or pollution exposure

Pharmanex Products

Pharmanex LifePak Nano

Lifepak Nano Product

Lifepak Nano provides your body with a comprehensive antioxidant, vitamin, and mineral blend with phytonutrients essential for optimal health. Fat-soluble nutrients like carotenoids and CoQ10 tend to bunch together in the intestine, making them difficult to absorb. To enhance absorbability, individual molecules are separated using nano-encapsulation. This process prevents molecules from clinging together so they are more available for easy absorption. CR-6 Liponutrients are separated in packaging: Omega-3s, vitamins, and carotenoids protect and nourish cells.
