GENLOC

PROVO, Utah— Nu Skin Enterprises Inc. introduced its ageLOC Future Serum to more than 10,000 sales reps at its launch in Japan; the product line is marketed as “genLOC” in Japan. The anti-aging serum is designed to preserve the skin and reduce the appearance of aging.

Truman Hunt, president and CEO, said: “We continue to believe that ageLOC will be the biggest global product launch in Nu Skin history and are pleased to begin the roll out in Japan. We are committed to fueling the positive trends we are seeing in Japan and believe that the introduction of ageLOC will help in generating distributor enthusiasm in this important market. Our proprietary ageLOC products enable our sales representatives to take advantage of the accelerating growth in the anti-aging industry, which is expected to grow by 73 percent in Japan by 2015. We’ll continue the global roll out of ageLOC next month as we launch new ageLOC skin care products in the United States, Europe and Latin America.”

Nu Skin Japan also announced Makoto Kuro-O, M.D., Ph.D., associate professor of pathology at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, as a new member of its Anti-Aging Scientific Advisory Board. Dr. Kuro-O will also serve as the chairman of the Nu Skin Japan Scientific Advisory Board, providing his insights on gene-based anti-aging science.

What AgeLOC Is…

·

· Nu Skin Enterprises’ platform to become the world’s leading anti-aging company

· Nu Skin’s Competitive Advantage: other companies focus on the signs of aging (lines, wrinkles, etc.). ageLOC attacks both the signs and the sources of aging

· There are many sources of aging, but the ultimate source of aging is found in our genes

· Virtually everything we encounter influences our genes: diet, stress, sleep, pollution, smoking, etc. Until recently, science has not be able to understand how nutrition and skincare products influence our genes

· Nu Skin has aggregated unique, proprietary ways to isolate clusters of genes that are critical to the aging process

· With proprietary formulas, Nu Skin’s ageLOC products will help to reset and support “Youth Gene Clusters,” the genes that help to preserve youthfulness—leading to preventative and corrective benefits

· Products developed in consideration of the impact they have on genes will likely be safer than those developed with no regard for the impact of that product on genes

· Galvanic Spa gels include ageLOC ingredients to battle arNOX, a source of aging identified by Nu Skin research over the past 4 years

· A daily use ageLOC skincare regimen containing a broader spectrum of ageLOC ingredients focused on genes will launch in October

· In the future, additional Nu Skin and Pharmanex products will be infused with other ageLOC ingredients to battle aging at the ultimate source—our genes.

· In the future, it is almost certain that other companies will try to mimic Nu Skin’s approach to product development

Anti-Age Product Could Lift Nu Skin; Dividend Rising

INVESTOR’S BUSINESS DAILY

A new product, if successful, can accelerate sales and earnings growth.

Utah-based Nu Skin Enterprises (NUS) plans to roll out an anti-aging product in January that, if not a fountain of youth, might be at least a sprinkler of youth.

Professors at Purdue University and the Stanford School of Medicine, along with Nu Skin researchers, discovered an enzyme that affects a person’s appearance.

According to a study conducted at Stanford, people with high levels of arNox, the enzyme, look about seven years older than those with low levels of it.

Nu Skin’s new product ageLoc contains an ingredient that the company says can inhibit the enzyme.

If it works, the next question is how much it can boost the bottom line of this direct seller of personal care and nutrition supplements.

Nu Skin sees great potential in the new product.

“This is a platform change for us,” Chief Executive Truman Hunt told IBD on Wednesday. “The market is not yet focused on where we are.”

Most anti-aging products focus on masking symptoms. Hunt said ageLoc is addressing the source.

Apart from the new product, Nu Skin has some features attractive to income investors.

It has paid dividends since 2001 and increased the payout seven straight years.

The Appearance Of Aging And Arnox

 

 

 

Scientists from Nu Skin Enterprises Inc. presented the results of a breakthrough study at the 25th International Federation of Societies of Cosmetic Chemists Congress (IFSCC) in Barcelona revealing a correlation between levels of a newly identified age-related enzyme, arNOX, and a person’s appearance. The study, conducted at Stanford University, demonstrated that women with higher activity levels of arNOX appeared an average of seven years older than their chronological age, while women with decreased activity levels of the enzyme appeared to be seven years younger than their actual age, on average. “Demonstrating arNOX as a source of certain visible signs of aging validates our strategic focus of attacking the sources of aging,” said Joe Chang, Ph.D., chief scientific officer at Nu Skin. “Merely repairing damage to the skin from environmental and mechanical stresses is no longer sufficient for savvy consumers.” “The ground-breaking conclusions in this research, combined with trends of an aging demographic, lead us to believe that there is sizable market potential for a product that inhibits arNOX activity, and thus slows the appearance of certain signs of aging,” said Ashok Pahwa, chief marketing officer at Nu Skin. “Additionally, the lines between personal care and nutrition are blurring,” continued Pahwa. “Savvy consumers are increasingly aware of the link between nutrition and beauty, and industry analysts report that products to postpone aging will perhaps witness the strongest demand in upcoming years.” Nu Skin currently holds patents and exclusive patent rights to arNOX inhibitors and plans to commercialize the scientific advances under its new product platform branded as ageLOC. The first topical ageLOC application will be launched later this month. Because the arNOX enzyme is present throughout the body, not just in the epidermis, the company is also conducting additional studies to better understand the broader applications of ageLOC technology in nutritional supplementation.

arNOX Information from Stanford Clinical Bulletin

Although the skin care industry has made some significant progress toward the correction and prevention of the visible signs of aging, there are still many unknown factors regarding why we age—and why we all seem to age differently.

The effects of the sun and the environment are fairly well understood and highly effective sunscreens exist to help us avoid the aggressive aging effects of ongoing exposure. Less understood are the biological or intrinsic processes that affect our appearance over time.

Recently, scientists at Purdue University in collaboration with Nu Skin Research and Development, have discovered a new and potentially significant internal source of aging—an enzyme called arNOX. Present on the surface of our cells, this enzyme is capable of generating skin damaging free radicals in the epidermis around the clock.

Mostly inactive in our youth, activity levels of arNOX increase as we age and vary by individual.
