The Measurable Difference
New York City Doctor’s Meeting - June 25, 2004
Presented by Jenny Engemann
“… low levels of the antioxidant vitamins (vitamins A, E, and C) may increase risk for several chronic diseases. Most people do not consume an optimal amount of all vitamins by diet alone.”
“It appears prudent for all adults to take vitamin supplements.”
Journal of the American Medical Association June 2002
Robert H. Fletcher, MD, MSc; Kathleen M. Fairfield, MD, DrPH, Harvard UniversityJournal of the American Medical Association 2002; 287: 3127-3129
A Landmark Endorsement
The Need to Supplement

Recommended daily antioxidant intake (R. Prior, USDA)
Pharmanex BioPhotonic Scanner• Invented by Werner Gellermann, Ph.D. (U. Utah)• Patent rights licensed to Pharmanex• Measures carotenoid antioxidants in skin
– important group of antioxidants– part of the antioxidant defense system in the body– good indicator of your carotenoid antioxidant status
• Based on Raman spectroscopy• Highly specific for carotenoids • Non-invasive and safe• Rapid (3 minutes)
What is Raman Spectroscopy?“Raman” effectIntense monochromatic light (one color only) interacts with molecules that have vibrational energy (e.g., carotenoids) and gets scattered at a higher wavelength (color). Sir C. V. Raman, Nobel Prize in Physics, 1930
Carotenoid molecules shift blue laser light color to green:
from 473 nm to 510 nm
Is The Scanner Accepted Science?• Review paper published in peer-reviewed scientific journal:

Carotenoids Predict Antioxidant Status• Recent paper published in the Journal of Nutrition, 2004:
– Carotenoids (blood) are indicator of total antioxidant status – Carotenoids interact with the antioxidant network– Vitamin E (blood) is not a good indicator of antioxidant status

“Low levels of the antioxidant vitamins may increase risk for several chronic diseases.” JAMA, June 2002
Recent Antioxidant Studies†
• Lycopene reduces risk of heart disease in women• Vitamins C, E linked to strong reduction in Alzheimer's risk • Multivitamin supplements decrease stroke risk - “SHEEP” study• Vitamin C decreases risk of coronary heart disease in women• Multivitamin supplements decrease infection and improve quality of life• Beta-carotene, vitamin C, selenium associated lower risk of asthma in children
