Introducing ageLOC Vitality



POSITIONING STATEMENT
As we age, our bodies’ ability to effectively generate and utilize energy can decline, robbing us of youthful vitality. ageLOC Vitality improves the three dimensions of vitality—physical vigor, mental acuity, and sexual drive—by promoting healthy YGC activity associated with youthful vitality.

Through targeting the sources of age-related vitality loss, ageLOC Vitality helps you feel more like you did when you were young.

CONCEPT
Consumer Need
Vitality is the state of being strong and active with the power to live. Loss of physical vigor, reduced mental acuity, and the lack of sexual drive are common signs of aging—ultimately, what we call the loss of vitality.

As we age, our energy levels can decrease and we tend to get tired more quickly and more often, which can affect our physical, mental, and sexual vitality. In 2008, a Datamonitor survey revealed that 30 percent of consumers consistently felt tired, with a further 50 percent reporting that they felt tired sometimes.

Our mental sharpness begins to decrease as well, and there are subtle changes in the way we think—it can take longer to solve problems and it becomes more difficult to make calculations, learn new skills, remember names, or even find the car keys. Studies show the average person experiences a 40 to 65
percent decline in memory between the ages of 35 and 80.1 Other research shows that mental decline begins between the ages of 20 and 30.

Studies also show that sexual desire dramatically declines with age. One study showed that 68 percent of women have a strong sexual desire at around 30 to 35 years of age and this drops to only 23 percent (a 66 percent decline) for women approximately 65 to 74 years of age. Men in the same age groups showed a decline from 74 percent to only 47 percent (a 36 percent decline).3 Additional studies report an even more dramatic decline in sexual desire from individuals under 40 to individuals over 70—only one percent of women and only two percent of men over 70 reporting high to very high interest in sex.

In today’s society, many of us rely on quick fixes to get us through the day. These stimulant products can have harsh highs and lows and can become less effective over time as a person’s vitality and energy levels continue to decline with age. By using these types of products, consumers are targeting a symptom of a problem without addressing the source.

Age-Related Vitality Loss
Deep inside each of our cells, tiny cellular “power plants” called mitochondria create the chemical energy that fuels our bodies. These organelles never sleep as they continuously deliver the energy molecule ATP that powers our cellular processes. As we age, the efficiency, size, and number of our mitochondria declines and energy production is unable to keep up with our bodies’ demands. Some declines in efficiency of our mitochondria are associated with age-related changes in gene expression. These changes are represented by the changes we see in the activity patterns of the Youth Gene Cluster (YGC) associated with mitochondrial aging.

Gene expression can be influenced through lifestyle choices as well as nutrition. With ageLOC science we have an understanding of how YGCs influence aging. We are able to develop products that support the healthy expression of these YGCs to help us feel more like we did when we were younger. Initial research findings from our exclusive partner, LifeGen Technologies, have revealed several potential ingredients shown to oppose age-related changes in expression of key gene groups associated with aging. We are now able to identify, target, and reset a specific YGC related to vitality.

Data suggests that nutrient efficacy varies by tissue; some nutrients work well in the muscle while others work best in the brain. ageLOC Vitality is formulated with a carefully selected blend of ingredients to provide you with vitality benefits in each of three dimensions of vitality.

March 23, 2011



PROVO, Utah—March 23, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — Nu Skin's (NYSE: NUS) revolutionary anti-aging product lineup — ageLOC Transformation daily skin care, including ageLOC Future Serum — is used every day to help people enjoy a more youthful appearance.

ageLOC Science Has Set the Bar to New Heights

Thursday, December 16, 2010


By unlocking the secret of youth with ageLOC science, we have set the bar to new heights. It will take years for our competitors to copy what we do and by then, our ageLOC science will have advanced to yet another level of understanding. Truly, it’s “game over” for them and “game on” for us.

This tradition of innovation is nothing new for Nu Skin. Twenty six years ago, Nu Skin set the bar for innovation by developing products that have “all of the good, none of the bad. “

Today, we continue that tradition. In fact, not too long ago, Nu Skin was named “Most Innovative Company” for the second time by the American Business Awards – another confirmation of our preeminent place in the industry as the leader in product and business innovation. This focus on innovation has now led us to a new approach to slowing aging. The recent discovery of gene expression science has created remarkable opportunities to improve health and longevity. We have taken the best that this science has to offer and created a new approach that we call ageLOC.

ageLOC at its core is about our ability to identify the ultimate sources of aging that we call ‘Youth Gene Clusters’ and then develop products that change the expression of these YGCs back to a more youthful state. In other words, ageLOC products now and in the future will help you look and feel younger longer. With ageLOC, we have accomplished the original mission of this company and that is to discover the secret of youth.

Every few years, Nu Skin introduces product technologies that transcend the category: the 6S Quality Process, the 180° Anti-aging Skin Therapy System, and the Galvanic Spa. And now, once again, we’ve broken the mold with ageLOC. It’s my belief that in the history of anti-aging, no product has ever been able to address aging at the fundamental sources until now. With ageLOC, we deliver the ultimate promise of living younger and feeling younger.

Clearly, we have raised the bar for innovation in the industry. While our competitors can only address the signs of aging, with ageLOC we can address aging at its source – the genetic level.

We have created an opportunity that you can leverage to grow your business now and in the future. Its only limitation is your imagination. You can choose to be a bystander, or you can join this once-in-a-lifetime revolution today. The choice, I think, is clear.
