Pharmanex’s scientists are always exploring new methods of research and scientific approaches to provide innovative and effective products.  One important understanding occurred when they began asking questions like: What are the sources of aging? Can they be influenced by nutrition?  Our scientists examined the answers to these questions and began to focus on gene expression. 

Our bodies naturally have mechanisms to keep our metabolism properly balanced. Unfortunately, as we age, the function of these mechanisms and their efficacy decline. In addition, aging aggressors also increase with age. These undesirable changes combine and can expedite the aging process. Aging is associated with a metabolic shift in lipid and glucose metabolism—indicating a change in

Nu Skin scientists designed a study comprised of 6 men and 6 women to monitor the absorption, metabolism and clearance of ageLOC Youth’s polyphenols. After each participant took ageLOC Youth, scientists collected blood, urine, and saliva samples to track the absorption and clearance of polyphenols and their metabolites at different times over the course of

When nutritionists consider the dosing of vitamins and minerals, one of their key areas of focus is the rate at which nutrients are used up (i.e. metabolized) and need to be replenished. In a similar way, Nu Skin scientists wanted an understanding of the kinetics (i.e. the absorption, metabolism, and clearance) of ageLOC Youth’s ingredients.

We’ve all heard of DNA— the genetic material that provides a blueprint for the physical makeup of living organisms, including organisms like you. Although we cannot change the genes we inherit from our parents, certain factors influence how our genes communicate with our cells. This influence is known as “gene expression”. Geneticists are beginning to

The Nu Skin BioPhotonic Scanner allows users to non-invasively measure carotenoids in the skin. Not surprisingly, the carotenoids detected in the skin by the BioPhotonic Scanner are the same carotenoids found in the bloodstream. This measurement technique is fast, painless, quantitative, and reliable, and it turns out that skin carotenoid levels better reflect long-term carotenoid
