ageLOC Products

Feeling the effects of time? Now you have a say in how you look and feel as you age thanks to ageLOC. Developed by Nu Skin in collaboration with leading scientists, ageLOC science is a revolutionary approach that is changing the way people look at aging. This proprietary science focuses on targeting the ultimate sources of aging, putting Nu Skin on the cutting edge of anti-aging science and technology.

Through ageLOC science, Nu Skin has identified functional groups of genes that play a central role in the aging process—key arSuperMarkers called YOUTH GENE CLUSTERS (YGCs). Using ageLOC science, we have found ways to reset these YGCs to more youthful patterns of activity. With this knowledge, we are able to conceive and deliver a single product family that can help to address major anti-aging concerns. The result is an entirely new class of anti-aging products Nu Skin calls Aging Response Modulators (ARMs). ARMs target the sources of aging in order to help us look and feel younger, and they are both skin care and nutritional products. We first developed topical ARMs (ageLOC skin care products), and now we are developing nutritional ARMs. ARMs represent what we believe will become the world’s most complete and advanced anti-aging solution.

ageLOC Vitality...coming in October 2010

The same science that produced such dramatic visible skin results is now being utilised in the development of a product that will target the sources of ageing on the inside to delay the onset of ageing and extend youthful life. Deep inside each of our cells, tiny “cellular power plants” create the chemical energy of life. Called mitochondria, these organelles never sleep, continuously delivering the energy molecule ATP that powers every cellular process. As we age, however, the activity patterns of the Youth Gene Clusters that govern our mitochondria shift, with the result that our mitochondria don’t perform with the same youthful vigor that they once did. This age-related shift in our genetic activity might leave us feeling less and less of the youthful vitality we felt more often in our teens and twenties. Our stamina can decrease, and our physical capacity to do all the things we love is weakened. Even our sexual drive and performance can drop as these changes occur over the years.

But, we believe our DNA is not our destiny. The key insight of the ageLOC era is that we can develop products that help us feel more like we did when we were young, based upon our understanding of how Youth Gene Clusters influence ageing. ageLOC science will now target Youth Gene Clusters related to mitochondria and vitality and reset them to more youthful patterns.

Stay tuned as we unravel the secrets of this phenomenon and apply them to create what we believe will become the ultimate anti-ageing product!

ageLOC Science

The Science of ageLOC

Nu Skin is taking the science of anti-aging to a completely new level by studying the genetic origins of how and why we age.

Developed by Nu Skin in collaboration with leading scientists, ageLOC science is based on the discovery of internal sources of aging that contribute to an aging appearance, what Nu Skin calls age-related super markers, or arSuperMarkers.

Nu Skin’s exclusive ageLOC science targets these arSuperMarkers—the ultimate sources of aging that can influence how we age. Based on this discovery, Nu Skin is able to identify critical arSuperMarkers called Youth Gene Clusters, which are functional groups of genes that regulate how we appear to age. Only ageLOC’s proprietary science understands how to reset these Youth Gene Clusters to their youthful patterns of activity.

This revolutionary discovery is based upon Nu Skin’s exclusive collaborations with leading scientists around the globe, millions of dollars in development, and years of combined anti-aging and genetic research.

Youth Gene Clusters & the 8 Signs of Aging

Identifying the Source The scientific community has access to the Human Genome, but Nu Skin’s breakthrough ageLOC science gives us the ability to interpret it in a meaningful way. In a recent scientific discovery, Nu Skin, in collaboration with anti-aging and genetics experts, has identified key groups or functional clusters of genes—Youth Gene Clusters—that help influence how we age. Nu Skin believes that finding and identifying these functional groups of genes is the key to addressing aging at the source. Clinical study results, genomic analyses, and substantiated research from ageLOC science has led Nu Skin scientists to identify specific functional Youth Gene Clusters that are responsible for youthful skin attributes. The expression of these genes is responsible for the signs of aging on our skin. Through ageLOC science, Nu Skin has the ability to reset these genes to behave more youthfully, helping to restore a more youthful balance in the skin.

Resetting the Balance Once we identify these Youth Gene Clusters, it’s important to reset them to reflect a more youthful skin profile. Resetting Youth Gene Clusters is a subtle balancing process—it’s not as simple as turning them on and off. Some genes within the cluster may need to be turned up while others may need to be turned down. Nu Skin’s proprietary ageLOC science resets Youth Gene Clusters to create a youthful balance within each cluster—returning them to their youthful patterns of activity.

Unique Partnerships In anti-aging science, the Nu Skin team is leading the way. Nu Skin’s study of Youth Gene Clusters has resulted in more advanced scientific formulations and enhanced anti-aging products that will redefine the industry. By modelling skin and human tissue in laboratory experiments, Nu Skin has learned how crucial gene expression is to retaining youth. In fact, in order to retain a youthful appearance, we understand how science can restore youthful activity patterns to our genes. LOOKING FORWARD By creating an exclusive partnership with the founders of LifeGen Technologies, Dr. Richard Weindruch and Dr. Tomas Prolla, Nu Skin has access to more than 30 years of research into the genetic basis of aging. Their studies have shown that an innovative approach called caloric restriction is validated by science as an important key to understanding the preservation of youth. Indeed, their findings have been so groundbreaking that they are published in the most prestigious scientific journals in the world. By studying the way genes are expressed in calorically restricted tissue, Nu Skin will continue to be able to identify and confirm which genes are related to aging and use this knowledge to develop new, innovative products far into the future. Nu Skin’s ongoing research, combined with its new research partnership with Stanford University, will deepen the company’s understanding of gene expression and its impact on reversing skin aging even late in life. We believe ageLOC science is the answer to anti-aging. It’s a scientific breakthrough that goes beyond the signs to target the ultimate sources of aging.

ageLOC Science Compendium ageLOC science is not dependent on any single discovery or scientific paper; instead our Nu Skin research and development scientists have incorporated key learnings from leading genetic researchers and anti-aging specialists . Our knowledge and understanding of these learnings are then applied in the development of proprietary, innovative, safe, and effective products. Click here to view the ageLOC Science Video

What is ageLOC?

ageLOC represents Nu Skin’s most comprehensive anti-aging opportunity and product offering to date. With products that target aging at its source, ageLOC now spans both skin care and nutritional supplementation. We believe our unique approach to anti-aging gives Nu Skin a competitive advantage over other companies and places us at the forefront of the anti-aging industry.

Over the past 26 years, Nu Skin has demonstrated a difference by improving lives around the world. With the introduction of ageLOC, we maintain this focus as we change the way people look at aging. ageLOC represents the creation of an entirely new anti-aging paradigm — a new and powerful way to fight the effects of the aging process by targeting the sources of aging. At Nu Skin, our objective is to deliver benefits both in the way we look and the way we feel — anti-aging on the outside and on the inside.

The ageLOC Opportunity

ageLOC takes the science of anti-aging to a completely new level by studying the genetic origins of how and why we age. For its foundation, ageLOC science draws on gene expression science, which allows us to focus on a fundamental source of aging by showing us how the expression of our genes changes with age. We've applied this science to the development of anti-aging products in order to address not just the signs and symptoms of aging, but the actual sources of aging. We began by studying internal sources of aging that contribute to an aging appearance. Now we're taking the science of ageLOC further to study the effects of aging at the cellular level to understand how to develop superior dietary supplement products.

ageLOC Products

Our first global product offering under the ageLOC brand, the ageLOC skin care products, launched at Nu Skin’s global convention in October 2009. In the fall of 2010, we will launch our first ageLOC nutrition product in some of our markets, with a global nutritional product offering slated for global convention in October 2011.

The ageLOC Opportunity
By 2030 the number of people worldwide over the age of 60 is expected to reach more than one billion. By 2015, the anti-aging industry is expected to grow 76 percent in the United States, 73 percent in Japan, and 82 percent in the Asia-Pacific region.

The rise of aging consumers in most developed markets presents a remarkable marketing opportunity for those in the anti-aging industry. The world is steadily growing older, and people want to enjoy those extra years by living young. The demand for products that help to diminish or even turn around the aging process is high. The potential for growth in the anti-aging market is not only expected to skyrocket, it’s here for the long term.

Building on this global anti-aging megatrend, Nu Skin delivers ageLOC. ageLOC serves as a powerful platform for Nu Skin distributors as they continue to benefit from significant social and economic megatrends, including the growing aging population. Additionally, the economic environment bodes well for Nu Skin’s direct selling business model as Nu Skin offers an attractive option for those who need to supplement or replace their income in today’s harsh economy.

“Nu Skin continues to stay relevant by marketing innovative and scientifically validated products, as well as by paying the highest percentage of revenue in distributor commissions of all direct selling companies listed on the New York Stock Exchange," said Dan Chard, president of global sales and operations at Nu Skin. "That is especially meaningful considering the fact that 2008 was the largest revenue year in Nu Skin’s 25-year history with $1.25 billion in sales."
