How did Pharmanex come up with the number ranges that indicate the Body Defense Index™?
The number ranges are based on research involving the scanning of 1375 people. The scanning resulted in carotenoid levels ranging from a low of 1500 to a very high 73,000. The mean average was 19,000. Subjects in the study who reported eating a recommended diet of six or more fruits and vegetables per day, and/or using supplements, measured 25,000 and above.
