On Thursday, 10th December 2009, Dr Louis Nthenda, Chomora Mikeka and I attended the launch of Nu Skin’s ageLOC Future Serum product at the Yokohama Arena in Shin-Yokohama. More than 10,000 Nu Skin sales representatives from across the country attended this colorful event – Keiko Suzuki, who paid for our tickets, being of them. The ageLOC products are marketed as ‘genLOC’ in Japan.
Big Screen at the back: Dr. Joe Chang, Nu Skin Enterprises' Chief Scientific Officer explains the ageLOC story.
Folks in Malawi may wish to know that Nu Skin Enterprises financed the establishment of plant that now produces enough food to nourish 75,000 children at a lower cost while providing jobs for approximately 400 Malawians. Expect more on that in one of my up coming posts. Today, let us talk about ageLOC.
As expected, most speeches were marketing oriented. But the major highlight for me was a very scientific speech by Dr Joe Chang, Nu Skin Enterprises’ Chief Scientific Officer, who explained the story behind the ageLOC technology. He briefly explained how the age-related ArNOX enzyme and its impact on aging was discovered.
From what he said, and from the information that I have found on the Internet, the ArNOX enzyme lives on the surface of our cells and works tirelessly to generate skin damaging free radicals. This enzyme is mostly inactive in our youth, but it becomes more active as we mature and it varies by individual. This enzyme is the basis of Nu Skin’s ageLOC technology. This proprietary new ingredient blend, which combines the benefits of many different anti-aging products, slows down the signs of aging at their source. It is said to be clinically proven to reveal younger looking skin in eight key ways beginning in just seven days.
Nu Skin distributors in Japan are now very busy selling these products in Japan where the anti-aging industry is expected to grow by 73 percent by 2015. If some of you want to become Nu Skin distributors in your respective localities, you can contact me and I will link you up with the relevant authorities. Only serious dealers will be entertained.

Last but not least, while this technology is, undoubtedly, a major scientific breakthrough, I have a question which I would like Dr. Chang and other Nu Skin researchers to answer. This question might be a silly one considering the fact that I am a layman in these issues, but I have to put it forward anyway.
I have observed that much of the focus on the age-related enzyme is on the damage that it causes on human skin. But I am of the opinion that this enzyme has its own positive attributes, which might be very important to the body as it ages. Has current research tried to establish those merits? If it has, what measures are being incorporated in this ageLOC technology to preserve those merits? I am just worried because there might be some side effects along the way.

Follow-up comment rss or Leave a TrackbackI for one, am totally against anything that nature has not provided me with. I do not use make up or other beauty enhancing material and if I age, it is natural, and am not willing to fall into the trap of the advertsing industry which keeps giving us impossible ideals to emulate.

I think you pose a very interesting and valid question. From what I know the biochemical processes in your body produce free radicals that are essentially destructive as they have nothing to make it neutral. Things like antioxidants and nu skin apparently assist in this task so I don’t think it’s bad that your combating this effect. I’ve even read research that eating an extremely low calorie diet, making your body work less, actually increases lifespan due to a decrease in all of the waste from metabolism your body produces.

This is interesting technology, but I really doubt a lot of ‘scientific research’ put forward by companies. The best bet for anti aging, is lots of exercise, good nutrition and joy of life.

Even if this technology is backed up by intensive research and the rationale behind it proves to be valid, I still would prefer the natural way of combating aging like following a healthy diet, exercising and practicing a clean healthy lifestyle.
