Biozoom Releases Clinical Study By Charite University Hospital, Indicates Health Scanner Is Effective For Empowering Long-Term Healthier Lifestyle

KASSEL, Germany, June 10, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Biozoom (OTC QB: BIZM)

Consistent use of the Biozoom (BIZM) scanner has been shown to help young people make better lifestyle choices, leading to long-term health improvement.  Results of a study by Charite University Hospital Berlin found that some adolescents—an audience that often resists calls for healthier living by parents and teachers—made healthier choices on their own after the Biozoom scanner enabled them to see the benefits of those choices. At the end of the study, 83% of participants had higher levels of antioxidants than before, and 20% of the students who smoked had quit smoking. For details regarding this study, see Part 6 Exhibit 99.1 in Biozoom's Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 31, 2013.

Charite analyzed 50 students of a vocational school in Kassel, Germany with the Biozoom scanner for a period of 2 months. Over the first month, the adolescents were asked not to change their lifestyle or stress conditions. They were measured without being informed of the results. In the second month, they were instructed to make conscious choices to eat healthy foods and reduce stress as far as possible. During this month, they were shown the results of their Biozoom scans. "The young people were initially skeptical of the idea that the ability to measure their antioxidant levels would have any significant effect. But the Biozoom scans allowed them to communicate with their bodies in a new way, and the effect was remarkable," said Dr. Jurgen Lademann, who led the study. Not only did antioxidant levels increase, but all of the students also reported an eagerness to improve their values by desisting from alcohol consumption and smoking. Six months later, the students were scanned again—without advance notice—to determine if their changes were long term.

"In nearly every case, the students reported that they had neglected to follow the healthy lifestyle advice they had received from parents and teachers, but seeing the results of their biofeedback scans changed their minds," Dr. Lademann said.

Antioxidants are widely considered to be important in maintaining health and wellness, but until now there has been no practical way for consumers to measure their antioxidant levels. While laboratory-based tests exist, they are expensive, time consuming and not practical for use outside of a clinic.  The Biozoom scanner changes that: "Before we used the Biozoom scanner in the field, we conducted studies comparing its results with the Raman spectrometer we have used for 10 years," said Dr. Jurgen Lademann. "The correlation between the two is very high." Biozoom enabled researchers to scan the students conveniently, at school.

"This study gives us a glimpse of the profound effect the Biozoom scanner can have on behavior. It is one thing to know intellectually that adopting a healthy lifestyle is beneficial," said Biozoom's CEO Hardy Hoheisel, himself a triathlete and fitness enthusiast. "It is quite another to be able to see improvements day by day and week by week. We believe that the Biozoom scanner will have a tremendous impact. It is so simple that anyone can use it anywhere to actively manage their wellness."
