3 SIGNS Developing products that address the sources of aging, not just the signs and symptoms. What is ageLOC?

4 D. James Morré, PhD Department of Medicinal Chemistry and Molecular Pharmacology and Dorothy M. Morré, PhD Department of Foods and Nutrition Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana ARNOX, AN AGING ENZYME: 1 ST AGELOC SOURCE OF AGING

5 Identified a NOX which increases with age Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide OXidase, a hydroquinone oxidase

6 NOX Quinone Reductase Q 10 Q 10 H 2 1/2 O 2 H2OH2O NAD(P)H + H + NAD(P) + Protein S S Outside Inside Plasma Membrane 2 O 2 SH 2 O 2 - arNOX Generates Superoxide O 2 - A powerful free-radical generator

7 GENESIS OF AGELOC Why Some People Look Years Younger Than They Really Are. The arNOX discovery helped explain…

8 HUMAN GENOME Our genome encodes for: – our looks – our size – how our bodies work – our health – our behaviors – Our longevity

9 Genes impact structure and function of the body Health or Beauty Index YEARS

10 2003 discovery after 20 years of research: 25,000 – 30,000 genes form the human genome Twenty Labs with hundreds of scientists (United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Japan and China), $3 billion After 20 yrs Human Genome Sequenced

12 Nu Skin Enterprises Center for Anti- Aging Research (NSE:CAAR)

13 NSE:CAAR Anti-Aging Genetic Experts Published over 300 scientific papers, and their insights have changed the way aging is viewed.

14 NSE: Center for Anti-Aging Research Experts in the study of the ultimate source of aging; our genes. 30 Years of pioneering anti-aging research. Their work both details the genetic basis of aging, and demonstrates that biological aging is no longer considered an inexorable or inevitable process.

17 ULTIMATE SOURCE OF AGING = GENE EXPRESSION As you age, your genes don’t change Which genes are turned on and off does change (e.g. gene expression). Expression levels are influenced by your environment (stress, nutrition, etc…)

18 IDENTICAL TWINS ARE DIFFERENT How is this possible, as their genes are the same? It turns out that while the genes are identical, the level at which gene is turned on and off changes based on environmental factors (e.g. gene expression). This causes the differences you can see.

19 Yellow shows where the twins have similar gene regulation. Red and Green indicate differences (up and down regulation).

20 To better understand aging, we need to know the expression level for every gene. arNOX Elastin …in a single experiment.

24 NuSkin ageLOC Approach Identify Youth Gene Clusters (YGC’s), and understand their youthful expression patterns Target - Investigate the effect different ingredients have on YGC’s. Reset - Develop formulae that reset these YGC’s back to their youthful state, thus restoring the youthful biochemistry of a cell.

25 What is a Youth Gene Cluster (YCG) These are groups of genes (e.g. clusters) that work together to exert a specific function in a tissue associated with youthfulness. Tissue specific Act as master regulators of aging.

27 Younger Than Chronological Age

28 In additional to understanding the genetic basis of aging in Humans, mice, fruit flies, yeast and roundworms are also fruitful models for the genetic/aging scientist

45 “THE PROOF IS IN THE PUDDING” Meaning: The true value or quality of something can only be judged when it's put to use. “Nu Skin has never developed a product that delivers these kind of results before (both in clinical results and user perception” Dr. Helen Knaggs, PhD VP of NuSkin R&D
