Wouldn’t it have been nice if Apple had made it possible for the every day person to take advantage of their innovations and technology at a price everyone could afford? What about Nike, or Microsoft? It has always been a closed group of innovative minds that make it to the top while we all wished we could of been part of that vision.
Well, now thanks to a 26 year old company and its very highly esteemed connections we can.
The biggest industry out there is the Health and Beauty and is poised to go into the trillions in sales in the next few years. What if there was a company that was 30 years ahead of anyone in the world with exclusive patents and technologies at a genetic level that was propelling those sales at a rate unheard of in these economic times.
Take a minute to look at this 4 minute video and see if it is something you would like to explore more. An opportunity is a time when we are not in an energy of “lack of” but “where is” the next step. Now it is a level playing field for anyone wanting to change their life on so many different levels.
Be well and be Blessed!

ageLOC Research Presented at International Conference
NU SKIN SCIENTISTS SHARE THE SCIENCE BEHIND VITALITY
Friday, December 3, 2010
Nu Skin scientists presented research findings on how mental and physical vitality is improved through nutritional strategies that influence mitochondrial-related genetic expression. Two presentations were made at the First World Congress on Targeting Mitochondria: Strategies, Innovation and Clinical Applications in Berlin.
“Through Nu Skin’s innovative ageLOC science we have successfully identified groups of genes and multiple genetic pathways that play a role in the complex process of aging,” said Joe Chang, Ph.D., Nu Skin chief scientific officer and executive vice president of product development. “Nu Skin’s most recent research focuses on improving physical, mental and sexual vitality that declines through the normal aging process. Unlike others who employ single gene approaches, with our research partners we identified multiple genes that affect mitochondrial function and also validate natural ingredients that positively affect the expression of those genes, thereby impacting overall energy and vitality. We believe that research focused on multiple genes shown to affect the normal aging process is the optimal approach to develop effective anti-aging products.”
Improved Mental Vitality
At the congress, Nu Skin senior scientist Scott Ferguson presented “Targeting Age-Related Gene Expression Improves Mental and Physical Vitality” and highlighted studies with a patent-pending blend of ingredients to improve physical, mental and sexual vitality. This blend was shown to reset mitochondrial-related gene expression to a more youthful state. In a pilot study on mental acuity, the blend significantly improved multiple attributes of cognitive function in men and women aged 28-50 over those taking a placebo.
Improved Physical Vitality
In a second study, Ferguson presented evidence that revealed improved energy levels in mice supplemented with the same proprietary ingredient blend as the mental acuity study. After seven weeks physical endurance was improved in the supplemented group as compared to a placebo group. Furthermore, the scientists reported that, relative to the placebo group, the supplemented group retained more muscle glycogen and had reduced lactic acid buildup during exercise.
Identifying Ingredients to Combat Aging
Steve Wood, Ph.D., R.D., director of global research for Nu Skin’s nutritional brand, Pharmanex, presented, “A Nutritional Strategy to Oppose the Genetic Expression of Aging and Loss of Vitality.” The research described an algorithm Nu Skin’s partner LifeGen Technologies uses to identify genetic supermarkers of aging. Natural ingredients were then screened for their impact on the genetic expression of those supermarkers. This study further suggests that the aging process is influenced by the expression of several genes and that a single gene change cannot account for the entire range of age-related disorders.

Doing Well by Doing Good.

The latest book by Lee Iacocca titled, Where Have All the LeadersGone? addresses the serious condition of corporate America and our society as a whole. Beginning on page 147 , there a couple of pages titled DOING WELL BY DOING GOOD where Iacocca praises the work and the heart of NSE (Nu Skin Enterprises).
Below is an excerpt from Where Have All the Leaders Gone? by Lee Iacocca.
Let me share another story about a company that I‘ve been privileged to be a part of.
It’s an example of a new kind of business philosophy called common-good capitalism. I
think of it as the dragon slaver of corporate greed.
Nu Skin is a Utah company that produces natural skin care products. When it was established in 1984, it’s Mormon founders wanted to do more than just make money.
Mormons are do-gooders by nature. They actually believe that companies have an obligation to contribute to the social welfare.
In 1996, Nu Skin established the Force for Good Foundation, an arm of the company that supports relief efforts and community development projects all over the world. Twenty five cents of every dollar made by selling Nu Skin products goes straight into this foundation. And this is impressive:100 percent of the foundations money goes to its projects. Nu Skin covers all of the foundation’s overhead and operating costs.
In 2002 I was approached by Blake Roney, the chairman and founder of Nu Skin, and Truman Hunt , the president. They told me about a new foundation they were starting called Nourish The Children. They knew from the work my foundation had done on
finding a cure for diabetes that I was interested in nutrition. And they guessed-correctly that I would appreciate their brand of common-good capitalism. As a businessman, I was
impressed by the quality of Nu Skin’s product and it’s large worldwide distribution force.
This was a well run company. But what really got me hooked was Nu Skin’s plan to end world hunger. I signed on, and I have been chairman of Nourish the Children’s advisory board ever since.
Here’s the way it works. Pharmanex, a division of NuSkin that makes nutritional supplements, teamed up with some leading experts on malnutrition to find out what nutrient mix can bring a child back from starvation. They then created a nutrient dense
meal packet, called VitaMeal, that would meet all the needs of a malnourished child.
Nourish the Children uses reputable relief agencies to distribute VitaMeal to needy children all over the world, including right here in the United States. So far about seventy
million meals have been distributed. The funding is mostly through Nu Skin- a combination of company product donations and voluntary product donations from the global distributors and their customers. Nu Skin encourages its employees to become
Ambassadors-that is, to donate at least four bags of VitaMeal every month, and to enlist others to do so, too. And they award employees who become Ambassadors. It’s kind of hard to get around the idea that a corporation would tell its workers that feeding hungry children is good for their corporate career paths.
Blake Roney once told me,”Nourish the Children is five percent of what we do, but it’s ninety five percent of who we are.” Whenever I pick up my newspaper and read another
story about corporate greed, I think about Nourish the Children. I’ll bet most people have never heard of it. Wouldn’t it be great if we read more business stories that gave us an inspiring lift and fewer stories that made us sick to our stomachs? And wouldn’t it be a wonderful thing if corporate America got the idea that the best way to do well is by doing good?
• Feed The Children is the primary global partner for Nourish the Children and distributes millions of meals at no charge to the donors or Nu Skin.
• Feed The Children is one of the largest charities in the United States and has helped people in 118 countries since its founding in 1979.
NON-PROFIT PARTNER
NOURISH THE CHILDREN INITIATIVE
NU SKIN’S SOLUTION
• Nu Skin’s Nourish the Children initiative is a pioneering social enterprise developed to effectively address the overwhelming problem of hunger and malnutrition.
• The initiative combines the skills and resources of a for-profit company with the reach and heart of non-profit charities to nourish tens of thousands of malnourished children every month.
• Nu Skin manufactures and sells a highly nutritious food—VitaMeal—and allows distributors and customers to donate their purchase to charitable organizations that specialize in distributing food to alleviate famine and poverty.
• By donating a product, rather than cash, donors know exactly how their contribution is being used.
• Every VitaMeal donation will reach needy children through a select group of reputable relief agencies that frequently report on the progress and health of children nourished by donations.
• Incentives are provided for commitments of ongoing VitaMeal donations and for encouraging others to join in donating millions of life-saving meals to malnourished children around the world.
• Lee Iacocca, former chairman of Chrysler Corporation and former president of Ford Motor Company, is chairman emeritus of the Nourish the Children Advisory Board.
VITAMEAL™
• The Nourish the Children initiative uses a nutrient-dense—not just calorie-dense—food branded as VitaMeal that has been carefully formulated to provide all essential daily nutrients to nourish a child.
• Each VitaMeal bag contains 30 child-size meals and retails for US$22. Each VitaMeal serving contains 25 essential vitamins and minerals, fatty acids, electrolytes and much more.
PROJECTS
• Through the generosity of its distributors and customers, nearly 170 million meals have been donated through the Nourish the Children initiative since its inception in 2002. An average of 2.5 million meals is donated each month on an ongoing basis.
• Nourish the Children has helped fight world hunger by supporting projects in many countries including China, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Indonesia, Malawi, Philippines and Thailand.
• In many cases, VitaMeal is served at school to attract children to nourish their minds, as well as their bodies.
• VitaMeal plants in Malawi and China are providing jobs and economic development, as well as nourishing food. These plants cut distribution costs, create a demand for cash crops and are improving the livelihood of many local farmers and local economies.
• Nu Skin pledges that for every eight packages of VitaMeal purchased and donated, the company will contribute one package to a qualified non-profit humanitarian organization.
AWARDS
• The Nourish the Children initiative was recognized with an American Business Award (“Stevie”) for the best Corporate Social Responsibility Program in the United States in 2007.
• Nu Skin China received the Corporate Social Responsibility Innovation Award sponsored by the American Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai for Nourish the Children in 2007.
THE PROBLEM
• Every six seconds a child dies from malnutrition.
• More than 800 million people, mostly children, suffer from hunger.
• Most food aid is in the form of grain that provides calories, but lacks important nutrients for proper health and development.
