The Aging Myth
SCIENCE AND GENETIC RESEARCH TODAY
One of the newest areas that anti-aging researchers are looking at is epigenetics; the study of changes in gene activity that do not involve alterations to the genetic code but still get passed down to at least one successive generation. These patterns of gene expression are governed by the epigenome -the cellular material that sits on top of the genome (hence the prefix epi-, which means above).
It is these epigenetic "marks" that tell your genes to switch on or off, to speak loudly or whisper, and it is through these marks that environmental factors like diet, stress and prenatal nutrition can make an imprint on genes that is passed from one generation to the next.
In one of the most exciting anti-aging discoveries in recent science! Scientists, doctors and researchers have identified the genes - or more specifically, the youth gene clusters associated with both external (skin) and internal aging.
THE HUMAN GENOME, YOUTH GENE CLUSTERS AND AGELOC SCIENCE BREAKTHROUGHS
The scientific community has access to the Human Genome, but recent breakthrough science gives us the ability to interpret it in a meaningful way for anti-aging. 30 years of genomic research has resulted in an ageLOC science that is becoming the clear leader in the anti-aging industry.
The path leading up to discovery of this ageLOC science is quite interesting. Since James Watson, Francis Crick and Rosalind Franklin discovered the structure of DNA in 1953, the field of genetics has been advancing at an amazing rate. By 2003, the entire human genome had been sequenced, or decoded. From this advancement, we now know that humans have somewhere between 20,000 and 30,000 genes. About one tenth of those genes are involved in the regulation of expression of the rest and gene expression patterns change as we age.
Genes that were expressed at low rates during youth might increase in their expression as we age, while others decrease their rate of expression. Hence, by understanding how gene expression changes with age and how to externally influence it through gene expression modulation, ageLOC science offers a whole new way of looking at aging.
GENE EXPRESSION MODULATION
Gene expression modulation means to reset gene expression toward youthful expression. If a gene is up-regulated during the aging response, modulation by ageLOC adjusts expression of that gene downward, towards more youthful expression levels. If a gene is down-regulated during the aging response, modulation by ageLOC increases the expression of that gene toward more youthful levels.
This research has led to the development of amazingly effective anti-aging skincare products utilizing "ageLOC Technology" that regulate, or influence those genes to express themselves in their optimal, youthful condition.
While our genes are inherited from our parents, the gene expression can be altered. ageLOC technology identify, target and reset Youth Genes Clusters. By this, we mean setting a balance between cell repair and cell damage.
This is Not gene modification. This IS gene resetting.
THE DATA BASE OF AGE-RELATED GENES AND AGELOC TECHNOLOGY
The very important asset of ageLOC technology is its data base of age-related genes. Where are they come from? There are two sources of how this database built up:
- First, the Scientific Advisory Broad of Nu Skin, consisting of over 125 world renowned scientists from all areas has been building up the database for the last 25 years. See more detail in Competitive Edge page.
- Secondly, Nu Skin has purchased LifeGen Technologies. The fouders of LifeGen Technologies, Dr. Richard Weindruch and Dr. Tomas A. Prolla, are professors at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and leaders in the fields of gerontology and genetics.
Dr. Weindruch and Dr. Prolla have been studying the relationship of genes and aging for over 30 years. They have published their findings in the most influential Science magazine:
- Gene Expression Profile of Aging and Its Retardation of Caloric Restriction, Science 285 (1999)
- Caloric Restriction Delays Disease Onset and Mortality in Rhesus Monkeys, Science 325, 201 (2009)
- More publications available on LifeGen Technologies website.
Through years of study, million of dollars in research they have collected enormous amounts of data relating to aging in genetic level. Nu skin is their exclusive partner in the business area. This means, no other company can have access to this precious database regarding age-related genes. And for anyone who wants to replicate the experiments, it would take them another 30 years because aging is a process that takes time and cannot be accelerated by other means.
Now, using this patented technology, NuSkin and LifeGen Technologies, is revolutionizing the anti-aging industry through ageLOC science and ageLOC products which are not only clinically proven, they are guaranteed.
Most anti-aging companies focus ONLY on the SYMPTOMS - the visible signs that occur after the aging process has already taken place. Wrinkles and lines on your face, discoloration and spotting of the skin, loss of vitality - Of course that means that their products are focused only on the symptoms as well - reducing lines and wrinkles, lightening discoloration, and energy drinks/pills that pump your body full of caffeine or sugar to give you temporary stimulus.
Now with the NuSkin ageLOC science products you have the ability to fight aging by targeting the source on a cellular level. By slowing or reversing the effects BEFORE they become visible symptoms, you can effectively win the war on aging!
