When you visit the doctor for a physical exam, you stand on a scale, and your weight is measured.
At the eye doctor you read a chart that measures the quality of your vision.
And when you exercise at the gym, you can measure your pulse while running or measure your body Mass Index to gauge your muscle and fat percentages.
Truly, the basis of science is the ability to measure. But have you ever considered being able to measure the positive effects of taking a daily vitamin supplement?
How about measuring the antioxidant level in your tissues? Is there even a way to quantify such activity? There hasn’t been an easy way… until now.
Introducing the Pharmanex BioPhotonic Scanner, the world’s first non-invasive measuring tool that uses laser technology to measure antioxidant levels in the body.
The BioPhotonic Scanner can measure the levels of one of the most powerful classes of antioxidants called the carotenoids.
Arotenoid antioxidants break the chain reactions of free radical damage.
The Pharmanex BioPhotonic Scanner measures the level of carotenoids in your body through the skin and then provides an immediate reading that indicates your antioxidant level.
This cutting-cdge, non-invasive, patented scanning technology is license exclusively to Pharmanex for use by the company’s network of independent representatives who specialize in health education and distribution of nutritional supplements.
Getting scanned is simple and painless. Within minutes, the BioPhotonic Scanner accurately pinpoints the level of antioxidants in your body. That’s why it is so important to get tested and know your Pharmanex Antioxidant Score or Body Defense Score (BDS).
The Pharmanex BioPhotonic Scanner measures the presence and concentration of nutrients called carotenoids.
Antioxidants have the ability to protect your cells from free radical damage-the effect of pollution, cigarette smoke, sunlight, and more.
While it is impossible to feel the effects of each individual free radical attack, many of the processes we call “aging” can be considered manifestations of the minute, cumulative damage done by free radicals to tissues such as skin, blood vessels and the brain. Knowing your Body Defense Score (BDS) provides you with an excellent indicator of your overall antioxidant health status.
There are many different kinds of antioxidants and they work together to help fight the harmful effects of free radicals. Our bodies produce some antioxidants and other important antioxidants are consurned in our diets.
All of these antioxidants work together to form a powerful defense system to support good health. Antioxidants can actually capture or neutralize free radicals and therefore stop the chain reaction.
One of the most powerful classes of antioxidants is carotennoids. Carotenoid antioxidants break the chain reactions of free radical damage.
Free radicals are highly reactive, short-lived molecules that can damage proteins, fats, and even DNA inside of our bodies.
Every day our cells get about 75 thousand free radical hits to their DNA-Replacing enzymes inside die body can repair most of the damage, but the little bit of damage that can’t be repaired accumulates over time and can add to the “aging” process.
Those interested in testing the Pharmanex BioPhotonic Scanner can do so at the Express Fitness 30-Minute Exercise and Weight Management Center on Rice Street from noon to 7 p.m. on Nov. 12-14.
