Why Should We Be Supplementing

Why should we be supplementing? There have been multivitamin and mineral supplements on the market for many years and some people claim all kinds of benefits from general well being to cures of certain medical conditions. However, there are many more adults that are unconvinced for the need to supplement and who can blame them because there is no scientific evidence to support the claims.

There have been many documents written over the last 20 years about the effects of free radicals and the need to maintain a high level of antioxidants to combat the free radicals from bombarding our bodies and causing significant damage to both our DNA and tissue cells. We are told to increase our intake of fresh fruit and vegetables to boost the level of antioxidants in our bodies, but with the increase of pollution, stress, travel, use of microwaves, mobile phones we are increasing the amount of free radicals, but our fruit and vegetables have less vitamins and minerals because of over used soil, pesticides, insecticides, storage and it is a fact that the nutrients received from eating them are a lot less than say 50 years ago.

Is it feasible then for anyone to obtain the right amount of antioxidants from the meals we eat alone, up until very recently the Medical profession were reluctant to state that vitamin and mineral supplementation were necessary but because of the over whelming evidence over the last few years especially regarding antioxidants, it has caused them to change their minds to the point that they now say that in order to maintain the right amount of nutrients to prevent chronic diseases later in life, we must supplement.

The question again is how do we know that the supplements we are taking are working in our bodies, unless we can measure in some way scientifically most people will not be convinced that they require a multi vitamin/mineral supplement.

Now for the first time ever with the work of Scientists at the University of Utah under Dr Gellerman we have the ability to measure how effective your supplements are in increasing your level of antioxidants. The Pharmanex Biophotonic scanner can in a matter of minutes measure non-invasively (meaning without blood or tissue samples) the level of carotenoid antioxidants in the tissue of your skin.

The first scan gives you the current level of antioxidants in your body the average American usually scores around the 20,000 mark which is still a very poor level of protection. Our levels should be 50,000+ to ensure maximum protection against free radicals allowing our bodies to help prevent chronic diseases later in life and to keep us looking younger for longer and generally maintain a better quality of life during our later years.

Pharmanex have the global exclusive rights to the Biophotonic scanner and also provide the solution to increasing your level of antioxidants, they encourage you to take the LifePak challenge, that is after obtaining your first scan they guarantee to increase your number within 60 days or they will refund 100% of your money back.
