Selecting a Good Vitamin & Mineral Supplement Part IV

The measurable Difference!

The Products

LifePak®

In order for each of us to reach our peak level of health, and then maintain it throughout our lives, we need to start with a firm foundation of basic nutrition. Science has discovered that this foundation is comprised of antioxidants, micronutrients, and macronutrients - compounds essential to optimal health.

Even if we manage to eat a well-balanced diet, getting all the micronutrients we need is difficult. That's why Pharmanex has created a comprehensive micronutrient supplement that provides optimal levels of important vitamins and minerals, as well as a comprehensive arsenal of antioxidants, making LifePak® superior to any other supplement available.

MarineOmega™ and LifePak®

Unlike micronutrients, which are commonly deficient from out diets, most of us suffer from excesses in macronutrients, including proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. However, there are important macronutrients that are commonly deficient in most diets - omega-3 fatty acids. Because these are essential to optimal health, Pharmanex includes MarineOmega™ in our foundation for optimal nutrition.

Used together, LifePak® and MarineOmega™ constitute the most comprehensive anti-aging supplement program available. The combination of the two products provides your body with optimal levels of essential micronutrients and macronutrients typically lacking in most diets and are necessary for longevity and wellness. MarineOmega™ also works with LifePak® by enhancing nutrient bioavailability for maximum health.

The Free Radical Problem

Our bodies are under attack. Each day we are exposed to free radicals - unstable molecules that steal or "scavenge" electrons from other molecules. Many of the physical effects we call "aging" are the result of free radicals, which damage tissue such as skin, blood vessels, and the brain.

Nature's Solution - Antioxidants

Antioxidants are your first defense against free radical attacks - they freely share their electrons and stop the degenerative chain reaction of free radicals. Our bodies naturally generate some antioxidants, and certain foods also contain antioxidants.

However, new research shows these sources may not provide sufficient antioxidant protection against a growing onslaught of free radical invaders.

How do you know if you have a healthy level of anitoxidants?

You Measure Your Results.

The Pharmanex® BioPhotonic Scanner is the world's first measuring tool that gives you a Skin Carotenoid Score (SCS) - immediate evidence of carotenoid antioxidant activity in your body. By simply placing your hand in front of a low-energy blue light laser, you get your score and become empowered to make improvements to your antioxidant health through nutritious eating and supplementation with LifePak®.

The technology of the Pharmanex® BioPhotonic Scanner is based on an optical method known as Resonance Raman Spectroscopy. This technology has been used for many years in research laboratories and more recently for carotenoid investigations in biological systems.

The scanner measures carotenoid levels in human tissue at the skin surface using optical signals. These signals identify the unique molecular structure of carotenoids, allowing their measurement without interference by other molecular substances and providing the person being measured with an SCS. Pharmanex is the exclusive owner of the patented biophotonic scanner technology for measurement of skin carotenoids in a non-medical environment.
