WHAT IS THE S3 SCANNER?

LIGHT, INNOVATED
The patented Pharmanex BioPhotonic Scanner is a cutting edge testing tool that non-invasively measures carotenoid levels in living tissue, providing an immediate indication of a person’s overall antioxidant levels. Everyone can instantly know their own antioxidant status. This empowers individuals to make improvements to their diet and lifestyle, and helps them make an informed decision on which supplements are properly formulated to impact their antioxidant health.

HOW DOES THE SCANNER WORK?
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 placing the palm of your hand in front of the scanner’s safe, low-energy blue light, within seconds you will obtain a reading of the carotenoid antioxidant levels in your skin—your Skin Carotenoid Scores (SCS)—which has been scientifically correlated to overall antioxidant status.

The technology of the Pharmanex BioPhotonic Scanner is based on an optical method known as Resonant Raman Spectroscopy, which has been used for many years in research laboratories.
 
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 their own 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.

The Biophotonic Scanner from Pharmanex is a quick and easy way for eye care practitioners to assess the levels of disease-fighting nutrients in their patients bodies. Through NIH funding. the instrument was initially designed to screen for risk factors of macular degeneration, by shining a blue light on the macula to measure carotenoids. The device was re-engineered using human skin to generate a health biomarker in 30 seconds, noninvasively. Studies show a direct correlation from the skin score to macular pigment volume.

Your patients have been counseled on the health benefits of reducing stress in their life, exercising more and eating diets high in colorful fruits and vegetables. Seeing their score on a color chart helps them process this message more effectively. It allows eye care professionals to effectively motivate their patients to modify their lifestyle, improving their eye health. Based on a small initial investment, the ROI for most practices is in one month or less. Ongoing profits are generated from antioxidant screenings and profit sharing on the supplements recommended. NO in-office inventory or additional product purchases are required. Testimonials available.
