PROVO, Utah, Oct. 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Nu Skin Enterprises, Inc. (NYSE: NUS - News) today announced that it has entered into research agreements with Stanford University and LifeGen Technologies, a genomics company based in Madison, Wis. LifeGen co-founders, Richard Weindruch, Ph.D., and Tomas Prolla, Ph.D., will also hold positions on the newly formed Nu Skin Anti-aging Scientific Advisory Board.

"Nu Skin has established a 25-year legacy of product innovation and our research agreements with Stanford University and LifeGen Technologies add significant fuel to our scientific engine," said Joseph Chang, Ph.D., Nu Skin chief scientific officer and executive vice president of product development. "We believe that these collaborative relationships will help us develop next-generation skin care and nutritional products from an enhanced understanding of the genetic basis of aging."

About Stanford

Researchers at Stanford have focused on profiling gene expression during human development and aging, and have also explored novel modes of gene control in aging skin. Nu Skin's agreement with Stanford aims to increase the understanding of fundamental aging mechanisms in human beings by translating insights from basic science into human application. The agreement also includes access to Stanford's expertise in dermatological clinical trials.

About LifeGen Technologies

Nu Skin will collaborate with LifeGen in an exclusive agreement by leveraging LifeGen's proprietary methods regarding gene expression profiling and pathways affected by aging. LifeGen was co-founded in November 2000 by Drs. Weindruch and Prolla, professors at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and leaders in the fields of gerontology and genetics. The mission of LifeGen Technologies is to discover the genetic basis of the aging process with the ultimate goal of increasing a healthy life span. LifeGen's pioneering research has resulted in several pending patents, and ongoing research undertaken in collaboration with Nu Skin is expected to yield further important intellectual property. LifeGen's patent for the use of "gene expression profiling" as a method to measure the progression of the aging process at the molecular level in individual organs is expected to be a key component of the partnership.

THE ULTIMATE IN SKIN CARE AT HOME!

The Galvanic Spa System is the top pick for the hottest skin care products of 2009. Experience a spa treatment in the privacy of your own home using a system that rejuvenates your complexion, revitalizes your scalp and refines your body. It’s no secret that people are concerned about their appearance and are consuming anti-aging products at an extraordinary rate. Men and women all ages—starting in their twenties routinely spend their money visiting day spas, dermatologists, plastic surgeons and estheticians seeking all kinds of solutions to look and feel younger.

In a scientific breakthrough, Nu Skin, a 25 year old Provo, Utah company has discovered a previously unknown internal source of aging; Nu Skin has an exclusive, technology—ageLOC. This anti-aging technology contains a blend of ingredients specifically designed to target internal sources of aging and control the skin’s genetic destiny.

The story begins a decade ago with a phone call between two scientists— Dr. James and Dorothy Morre from Purdue University and Dr. Joseph Chang of Nu Skin. James and Dorothy were involved in the ongoing search for a cure for cancer. Specifically their studies revolved around the role of Green Tea and anti-cancer activity. They were searching for an extremely high-quality, standardized green tea product, and Nu Skin met their criteria. This was the beginning of their friendship and their professional collaboration.

Five years ago, the Morres commented to Dr. Chang, on discovering an enzyme not present in very young people, but oddly, found in ever increasing quantities in the cells as a person aged! Further research discovered that this mysterious enzyme, A-R-NOX is a source of aging! With this landmark breakthrough of an internal aging source, Dr Chang wondered if they could slow the process of aging. Dr. Chang and his team went to work and developed a technology called ageLOC. It appeared to slow the internal source ‘free-radical’ causing signs of aging, but Nu Skin scientists needed to verify this.

Stanford University was invited to do third party clinical trials. At the conclusion of these trials, these were the results: The activity level of the A-R-NOX enzyme in a person’s skin was monitored for a period of 48 minutes. They then applied ingredients to slow this activity. The A-R-NOX activity levels in this clinical trial show that activity had slowed dramatically—essentially stopping the aging process in its tracks. These ageLOC facial gels are designed to be used with the Nu Skin product—The Nu Skin Galvanic Spa.

The Nu Skin Galvanic Spa System II allows you to achieve results, in a small amount of time in the privacy of your home. The Galvanic Spa together with the ageLOC facial gels have the power to smooth the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and give skin a rejuvenated look and feel.

The spa’s benefits don’t end with the face. The Galvanic Spa comes with additional attachments to be used on the body to minimize the appearance of cellulite and another to revitalize the scalp and hair.

People see visible improvement!

NSE AMPLIFIES BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY WITH GAME-CHANGING ANTI-AGING APPROACH

NSE Sales Leaders Poised To Capitalize on Promising Megatrends

PROVO, Utah - June 22, 2009 /PRNewswire/ — Top international sales leaders for NSE, Inc. gathered today in Saint Petersburg, Russia, to learn how NSE plans to expand its distributor business opportunity with next-generation anti-aging products in both skin care and nutrition that target the ultimate sources of aging.

"For more than 25 years, NSE has offered people the opportunity to start their own business selling exclusive and innovative anti-aging products – and that opportunity will be better than ever with ageLOC," said Truman Hunt, NSE president and chief executive officer. "We believe that ageLOC is unlocking the secret of youth through our unique understanding of the relationship between aging and certain genes in the human genome, the ultimate sources of aging.

"ageLOC will not only have significant implications for an aging population that wants to live young, but also for an increasing number of people who are seeking out NSE's business opportunity to supplement or replace their income."

The international sales meeting is the next step in the company's roll out of its exclusive ageLOC discoveries. NSE introduced the first phase of its strategy to target the sources of aging last October with the launch of ageLOC Galvanic Spa Facial Gels, formulated to target a free radical generator in the skin to deliver superior cosmetic benefits. The company will continue its roll out of ageLOC products with the introduction of an unmatched daily skin care system this October at NSE's global 25th anniversary celebration in Los Angeles. As part of its strategic direction, the company will also unveil plans to launch additional exclusive ageLOC products, including a nutritional supplement in the latter half of 2010.

"By targeting the ultimate sources of aging we have the advantage of developing truly game-changing products that have both preventative and corrective anti-aging benefits," said Joe Chang, NSE executive vice president and chief scientific officer. "ageLOC also unites our skin care and nutritional product lines into a comprehensive anti-aging product offering that delivers solutions for people who want to enjoy a more youthful existence."

THE ageLOC OPPORTUNITY: Leveraging Socio-Economic Megatrends

ageLOC is a powerful platform for NSE distributors as they continue to benefit from significant social and economic megatrends, including a growing aging population and an increase in those seeking ways to supplement or replace income. For example, by 2030 the number of people worldwide over the age of 60 is expected to double to more than 1 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. Additionally, the economic environment bodes well for NSE's direct selling business model as NSE offers an attractive option for those who need to supplement or replace their income in today's harsh economy.

"NSE 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 Ashok Pahwa, chief marketing officer at NSE. "That is especially meaningful considering the fact that 2008 was the largest revenue year in NSE's 25-year history with $1.25 billion in sales."
