Nutraingredients.com Features New Clinical Study
Nutraingredients.com in an article titled, "Scanner used to encourage carotenoid intake," featured a new clinical study that Pharmanex recently presented at the 45th annual meeting of the American College of Nutrition (ACN). The study found that the Pharmanex® BioPhotonic Scanner may more accurately measure carotenoid antioxidants in human tissue than taking blood carotenoids (measured by conventional HPLC methods).

According to the article, "...the study showed that the scanner - a non-invasive method to measure carotenoid antioxidant activity in human tissue - produced carotenoid measurements with less variability than blood carotenoids (measured by conventional HPLC methods). The study also found a strong correlation between the BioPhotonic Scanner scores and blood carotenoids."

Supplement Packs Deliver Healthy Results

CNNMoney - August 21, 2003, Circulation: N/A, The 6S factors in quality health product
The recent death of a consumer of health products sold door-to- door brings the matter into focus. The problem with the flawed product could well be inadequate quality control. Perhaps our producers of herbal medicine can learn from the scientists at Pharmanex, the science-based developer and marketeer of natural, proprietary and preventative products. A world-class research laboratory with the requisite expertise is beyond the means of herbal products purveyors in the Malaysian context given the minimal return in the industry. At Pharmanex, Dr Zhu and his team are guided by a strict 6S process in ensuring quality extracts from botanical products. The 6S covers selection, sourcing, structure, standardisation, safety and substantiation. As a prime example, the LifePak daily supplement manufactured by Pharmanex has been a runaway success among the health-conscious since its introduction. Most important of all, the fact that consumers worldwide are willing to pay in excess of RM350 for a 60- day supplement should encourage Malaysian entrepreneurs to seriously consider adopting the 6S standards created by Pharmanex.
