Bangkok--Oct 20--Aziam Burson-Marsteller
Pharmanex, the Natural Healthcare Division of Nu Skin, will hold a “VT Vegetable Champion” Competition to offer vegetable lovers a chance to compete in a vegetable eating contest to set a new record for Thailand and win prizes worth 100,000 baht.
The game is a highlight of the national launch of the Pharmanex BioPhotonic Scanner Leasing Program in Thailand. This is the first country in Southeast Asia to lease sixty BioPhotonic Scanners worth one million baht each for Nu Skin distributors nationwide. The “VT Vegetable Champion” Competition and the launch event will be held at Zone N, Central Pinklao on Monday, 8 November. Anyone who would like to enter the contest may apply by calling Khun Jittima at 0-2791-8500 ext. 8554.
The Pharmanex BioPhotonic Scanner has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration as a non-medical device and information about it may be published.
The Pharmanex BioPhotonic Scanner is the world’s first portable, non-invasive device that can measure skin carotenoid levels, which is the antioxidant level in body tissue. A safe, low-energy blue light laser in the scanner quickly determines carotenoid antioxidant levels. It also provides results close to a blood test but with no physical discomfort and the results are available right away. The Pharmanex BioPhotonic Scanner was originally developed by the University of Utah’s Center for Biomedical Optics, based on ‘Raman Spectroscopy’ originally developed by Dr. C.V. Raman. It can also measure the effectiveness of LifePak, Pharmanex’s flagship product. The scanner is certified by the King Mongkut Institute of Technology University Thonburi as a safe, non-invasive device.
Following the success of scanner launches in the U.S., Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia, Thailand will be the first country in Southeast Asia to introduce the Pharmanex BioPhotonic Scanner leasing program. Sixty of the one million-baht devices will be available to top-ranking Nu Skin distributors nationwide starting in November 2004.
