BiophysicalYou™ Health Assessment Unveiled in Drs. Mehmet Oz and Mike Roizen's "YOU: Staying Young" Best Selling Book
Comprehensive health assessment measures over 60 biomarkers to help evaluate current health status
AUSTIN, TEXAS, November 1, 2007 – Biophysical® Corporation announced today the availability of BiophysicalYou, a health assessment that measures blood-based biomarkers that can help evaluate an individual's current health status. Featured in Drs. Mehmet Oz and Mike Roizen's newest book, YOU: Staying Young, the BiophysicalYou provides insights into many of the conditions that may influence people's health. The test measures more than 60 blood components that are related to hormone function and metabolism; cardiovascular status; liver, kidney, and muscle function; vitamin and mineral levels, and inflammatory conditions.
"We have combined the biomarkers discussed in Drs. Oz and Roizen's health and wellness book into a single test," said George Rodgers, M.D., Biophysical's president and Chief Medical Officer. "Our technology lets us deliver the many tests recommended in YOU: Staying Young at a cost far below what would be charged by a conventional medical laboratory".
BiophysicalYou builds on the science and success of Biophysical's flagship health assessment Biophysical250™ which screens over 250 biomarkers using just two tablespoons of blood. This is the same innovative technology that has been used for many years for clinical research and within the pharmaceutical industry.
"Developed to provide YOU: Staying Young readers with an assessment of their current state of health, BiophysicalYou puts key tests into one cost-effective and convenient blood draw," said Dr. Mehmet Oz, co-author of YOU: Staying Young. "I am quite impressed with Biophysical, their health assessments and the innovative technology and research supporting their biomarker testing."
Upon ordering the BiophysicalYou service by phone or mail, the BiophysicalYou assessment program begins with the drawing a small sample of blood at the client's home, office or other location. In approximately 15 business days, the client receives a well-organized report analyzing the biomarkers that comprise BiophysicalYou. The findings and a detailed glossary are arranged by category and prioritized with an explanation of their significance. Regardless of the findings, Biophysical strongly recommends that clients discuss the results of BiophysicalYou with their personal physician as their physician can help put the results in perspective for any further evaluation, tracking or treatment.
Information about BiophysicalYou and Biophysical250 is available at www.biophysicalcorp.com. The cost of BiophysicalYou is $1,495. Special pricing of $995 is available to the first 250 YOU: Staying Young readers who order BiophysicalYou. The cost of Biophysical250 is $3,400.
