The Complete Guide to the Pharmanex BioPhotonic Scanner
The Pharmanex BioPhotonic Scanner is the soon to be the next standard of healthcare, and you can be a part of it.
The reason why I say this is that the BioPhotonic Scanner is the only device that measures antioxidants.
Allow me to explain.
If You Can’t Measure It, It’s Not Science…
According to the CRN, 76% of U.S citizens take some sort of dietary supplement. There’s actually a good chance that you take a dietary supplement.
Let me ask you some questions.
Are your supplements working?
How do you know?
The answer is that you don’t. There is no possible way for you to know because you can’t measure it.
So, what’s the solution?
A patented device that allows you to non-invasively measure carotenoid levels in tissue, providing an immediate indication of a person’s overall antioxidant levels.
The BioPhotonic Scanner is the world’s first measuring tool that gives a Skin Carotenoid Score (SCS) – immediate evidence of carotenoid antioxidant activity in our body.
This means that you can now know your antioxidant levels in your body and also know if it’s decreasing or increasing.
What are the benefits of antioxidants?
- Reduces the risk of heart disease.
- Reduces the risk of diabetes.
- Reduces the risk of lung & breast cancer.
- Reduces the risk of Alzheimer’s.
- Reduces oxidative stress.
- Maintain good skin, hair, & nail health.
- Promotes wound healing.
- Helps prevent premature aging of the skin.
It’s possible that you’re missing out on these benefits because of a lack of antioxidants in your body, or in other words, having a lack of fruits and vegetables.
A Brief History of Pharmanex
Pharmanex has been transforming the way we look at health for over 30+ years.
It all started with three individuals.
Michael Chang, PhD
Michael Chang is the Chief Scientific Officer to Pharmanex. Before he worked on Pharmanex, he was the Deputy Director of Medicinal Chemistry at Pharmaceutical giant Merck, Sharp, and Dohme.
Joseph Chang, PhD
Joseph Chang spent 15 years working at the Wyeth-Ayerst labs where he invented one of the leading drugs used in organ transplants.
In his career, he identified a need for quality control standards in the supplement industry and decided to co-found Pharmanex along with Michael Chang back in 1996.
Carl Djerassi, PhD
Carl Djerassi is the “father” of the birth control pill.
He’s one of the very few American scientists that have been awarded both the National Medal of Science & the National Medal of Technology. He’s received 21 honored doctorates with numerous other honors.
He’s been included in:
- The First Wolf Prize in Chemistry.
- The First Award for the Industrial Application of Science from the National Academy of Sciences.
- The Erasmus Medal of the Academia Europea.
- The Perkin Medal of the Society for Chemical Industry.
- The Gold Medal of the American Institute of Chemists.
- The American Chemical Society’s highest award, the Priestley Medal.
Pharmanex Today
Since its launch back in 1996, Pharmanex:
- Has over $1 Billion in assets.
- Owns the largest R&D engine in the supplement industry with over 90 full-time scientists and $60 million invested annually to R&D.
- Was the first nutraceutical company to receive approval to sponsor the U.S Olympic Team.
- Is one of Forbes’ Top 5 Trustworthy Companies.

How Does the Pharmanex BioPhotonic Scanner Work?
As I said, the BioPhotonic Scanner is responsible for measuring your antioxidant status in your body. It does this by scanning your skin carotenoids.
As a patient, all you would have to do is place your hand in front of a 100% safe blue light for about 30 seconds.
After the 30 second period, you’ll obtain your Skin Carotenoid Score (SCS).
This technology is based on an optical method known as Resonant Raman Spectroscopy, which has been used for many years in research laboratories.
How Does the BioPhotonic Scanner Measure Skin Carotenoids?
The Scanner technology works on the principle of light and the fundamental particle of light is a photon.
White light has photons of different wavelengths, which are represented by colors.
The Scanner produces a narrow beam of light in which all of the photons are the same color-blue.
The blue light has a wavelength of 478 nanometers(nm).
When a 478 nm photon of light comes into contact with a carotenoid, something interesting happens. The energy level of a 478 nm photon becomes excited to 518 nm, the wavelength associated with a green light. The only molecule in nature that can shift a 478 nm photon to a 518 nm photon is a carotenoid.
As 478 nm photons strike carotenoids in the skin, they are reflected back as 518 nm photons. This is how the carotenoid concentration in your skin is measured. Because the number of photons reflected at the
518 nm wavelength is proportional to the concentration of carotenoids in the skin, these green photons are then counted to calculate the individuals SCS.
In less than one minute you can find out if your diet, lifestyle, and supplements provide the antioxidant protection you need for promoting health.
How to Improve your Antioxidant Status
When you get the carotenoid antioxidant levels in your skin checked, there’s a 97% you’ll fail the BioPhotonic Scanner test. I say this because our database of 30 million scans show that 97% of Americans fail this test.
To avoid these results, it’s recommended that you improve your diet by eating 5-9 servings of fruits and vegetables every day.
However, it’s difficult for most people to eat this many servings of fruits and vegetables every day. This is why Pharmanex created some of the most scientifically advanced anti-aging supplements.*
Ask your doctor to look for LifePak in the Physician’s Digital Reference.
Here are the recommended steps to measuring and improving your antioxidant health.
- Ask your doctor if he or she can scan you. The base measurement is crucial to know where your antioxidant score is and which supplements should be prescribed by your doctor.
- Take your supplements as prescribed for 90 days.
- Ask your doctor to scan you again and look for improvement.
The best thing about it as that taking the supplements are 100% risk-free when used in conjunction with the BioPhotonic Scanner.
In fact, Pharmanex is the only supplement company on the planet that guarantees the effectiveness of their supplements or you get your money back within 60 days.
Conclusion
Millions of people have scanned their antioxidant status to get measurable results.
The Pharmanex BioPhotonic Scanner:
- Is Nobel Prize-Winning Technology.
- Is a non-invasive test.
- Will give results within 30 seconds.
- Is more accurate than a blood test.
- Has gone through a 10-year study from Yale University.
- Has over 80 peer-reviewed studies.
- Has been featured on the Dr. Oz Show.
- Is used as a research tool at many universities.
Doctors can now help their patients increase their antioxidant protection by supporting them in making a commitment to healthy lifestyle changes and supplementing their diet with Pharmanex products for as little as $2/day.
