What is Nanotechnology?1. Size: 1 -100 nanometers
– Most molecules are 1 to 100 nm in size
2. Function at the Molecular Level– Nanotechnology achieves new
functionalities by molecular rearrangements
Reasons for Limited Absorption
• Poor intestinal solubility• Requires fat for dissolution (e.g.,
Lipocarotenes)• Aggregation into large particles
– not easily digested and absorbed
The Nanotechnology DifferencePharmanex patent-pending & proprietary process
Small nano-nutrients are easily dispersed and absorbed

• To increase intestinal uptake of poorly absorbed fat-soluble nutrients:– Carotenoids (lycopene, alpha+beta-carotenes,
zeaxanthin, astaxanthin)
– Coenzyme Q10
= Better Bioavailability*
= Increased Scanner Scores*

Purpose• How much more and how much faster
does lifepak nano increase scanner scores than a placebo?

Study Design ISupplementation• 52 Subjects were recruited and randomly assigned
to groups• Twice a day, with breakfast and with dinner,
subjects took:– lifepak nano
or– Placebo
• Study length: 18 weeks
Study Design II
BioPhotonic Scanner • Subjects were scanned a total of 15 times!
Diet• We encouraged to continue with their typical diet
for the entire study
Results• 42 out of 52 subjects completed the 18 week study

LifePak Nano Placebo
Summary• Lifepak nano increased scanner scores as
fast as two weeks
• Scanner scores increased in all 20 subjects taking lifepak nano
• Lifepak nano increased scanner scores 18,000 units more than placebo in 18 weeks
• Even after 18 weeks scanner scores were still increasing in the lifepak nano group
Better Bioavailability*
Faster and Higher Increases in Scanner Scores*
