Omega 3 of Pharmanex, is Best in the World


omega 3 of pharmanex, is best in the world

Pharmanex® Products Containing Fish Oil Listed as
"Best Choice" Products
September 29, 2006 — Three Pharmanex products
containing fish oil—Marine Omega, lifepak nano, and
Optimum Omega—were given the highest rating available
for purity and quality by the Environmental Defense
Agency, a non-profit organization aimed at protecting
the environmental rights of all people including clean
air, clean water, healthy food and flourishing
ecosystems. The review takes into consideration the
efforts Pharmanex makes in purifying the products to
reduce or remove contaminants such as mercury and
dioxins sometimes found naturally in fish oils.

Pharmanex is committed to providing the highest
quality nutritional products to its customers. Our 6S
Quality Process ensures we place only the best
ingredients in each product. We are proud to be listed
as one of the "Best Choice" products within this
category.

Marine Omega™, lifepak® nano and Optimum Omega
Benefits of omega 3 fatty acids include support of the
body's immune response, supporting cardiovascular
health, promoting brain function and wellness,
improving joint function and mobility, and promoting
healthy skin conditions. All Pharmanex products
containing omega 3 fatty acids are made of the purest
fish oils which are tested for toxins and contaminants
through our strict Pharmanex® 6S Quality Process.*

MarineOmega from Pharmanex is a unique and potent
source of EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids from
ultra-pure fish oil and Antarctic krill, a small
crustacean found in abundance in the ocean. Krill oil
has a high concentration of EPA and DHA in a unique
phospholipid form that makes them highly bioavailable
for use in the brain and cell membranes throughout the
body. Krill oil also contains the antioxidant
astaxanthin, and a newly discovered flavonoid, yet
unnamed—the first ever found in a non-plant or algae
source.*

Lifepak nano also provides the same potent levels of
omega-3 fatty acids in the two CR-6 LipoNutrients™
softgels that come with every lifepak nano sachet to
create the most comprehensive anti-aging supplement
program available, providing the nutrients necessary
for longevity and wellness typically lacking in most
diets.*

Optimum Omega is a dietary supplement providing
ultra-pure fish omega-3 fatty acids. Used daily as
part of an essential nutritional supplement program,
Optimum Omega provides important omega-3
macronutrients for optimal health and wellness.*

Pharmanex® Enjoys Extensive Positive Press Coverage
Pharmanex products and the Pharmanex® BioPhotonic
Scanner have recently been highlighted in many press
publications in South East Asia. Specifically, on
September 19th, Radio Singapore International ran a
five minute Interview with Wan Peng Yue, Senior
Trainer for Pharmanex® Product Education entitled,
"Measuring Your Antioxidant Level As A Benchmark To
Lead A Healthier Lifestyle." Another radio show,
98.5FM Singapore featured an interview with Maggie
Chang, Manager of Product Training & Technical
Communications, Pharmanex Taiwan entitled, "Good
Eating Habits, A Balanced Diet and Healthy Lifestyle."

In addition, the Pharmanex® BioPhotonic Scanner and
the S2, were featured in the publications Simply Her
(Singapore), 8 Weekly (Hong Kong), and Conferences
Exhibitions Incentive (Asia Pacific). Included in
these articles were interviews with Mark R. Bartlett,
Ph.D., vice president, Pharmanex Global Research and
Development, who emphasized the fact that for most
people with hectic schedules, health supplementation
is a good way to "fill the gap" to a healthy diet.
Scientists in these articles also noted that health
supplements can be a form of "nutritional insurance"
for people with a poor diet, stressful lifestyle, and
smokers.

The article in Simply Her highlighted the Pharmanex®
BioPhotonic Scanner. The Scanner was used to scan five
women, each with a different lifestyle, to demonstrate
how the "nutrition lie detector test" could spur them
on to a healthier lifestyle. Readers were encouraged
to get their Skin Carotonoid Score so they could track
their own personal antioxidant health.

The Pharmanex® BioPhotonic Scanner
With more than 3 million scans performed worldwide
since 2003, the phenomenal Pharmanex® BioPhotonic
Scanner has revolutionized the way we look at our
health, and has created a business opportunity like no
other in the world. By measuring the stable level of
carotenoid antioxidants in your skin and generating
your Skin Carotenoid Score, the Scanner provides an
accurate and reliable biomarker of your overall
antioxidant health status and is easier than other
methods of measuring antioxidants.

Getting your Skin Carotenoid Score makes you aware of
the antioxidant levels in your body—and gives you the
push you need to improve your overall antioxidant
health.

(D) Nu Skin Professional Advisory Board Member Dr. Michael J. Balick
Received 2004 International Science Award from American Association for the Advancement of Science

Dr. Michael J. Balick, Nu Skin Professional Advisory Board Member and Director of the Institute of Economic Botany at The New York Botanical Garden, has been named the recipient of the 2004 International Science Award from the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) . He has in many ways defined the field of ethnobotany over the last quarter-century and was especially cited for his research emphasis "on preserving traditional knowledge and respect for the values of local peoples, and his support for the development of scientific institutions".

"Over the past 30 years," AAAS Chief International Officer Sherburne Abbott said, "Dr. Balick has developed a shared vision of research with his collaborators in many different parts of the world, working with them to gather essential financial and intellectual resources. He has been a leader in revitalizing the little-known field of ethnobotany."

Balick comments humbly, "I am honored to accept this award on behalf of my colleagues - the dedicated scientists, students, and indigenous people with whom I have worked in many places around the world. I have been privileged to collaborate with, educate, and, most importantly, learn so much from them. Our model in this scientific research is one of full partnership, ensuring local interest and benefits that will last far beyond the lifetime of the immediate project."

Balick's research, which has helped to transform ethnobotany into an internationally recognized academic discipline, has taken him to some of the most remote and biologically diverse sites on the planet, Abbott noted. Beginning in Costa Rica, for example, Balick played a key role in building a major botanical garden, then worked on the domestication of native plants in the Amazon Valley and Northeastern Brazil. His investigations also have taken him to China, Thailand and India, as well as the Caribbean, where he developed a new program to fund research projects in ethnobotany and economic botany.

The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) is the world's largest general scientific society, and publisher of the journal, Science. AAAS was founded in 1848, and serves some 262 affiliated societies and academies of science. Science has the largest paid circulation of any peer-reviewed general science journal in the world, with an estimated total readership of one million.


Dr. Michael Jeffrey Balick (PH.D.) is the Professional Advisory Board Member of Nu Skin Enterprise. He contributes much in the development of high-quality personal care lines by sharing his professional knowledge and experience in ethnobotany. Currently, he is an adjunct professor at the City University of New York and the School of Forestry and Environmental Studies at Yale University and also an adjunct senior research scientist at the Centre for Environment Research and Conversation at Columbia and an honorary research associate and trainer at the National Tropical Botanical Garden.


All our best,

Nu Skin Enterprises Philippines, Inc.

Pharmanex Study Correlates Skin Carotenoids to Overall Antioxidant Health

Pharmanex Study Correlates Skin Carotenoids to Overall Antioxidant Health
Tuesday August 5, 7:30 am ET


Research Presented at 15th International Symposium on Carotenoids


PROVO, Utah, Aug. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Scientists from Nu Skin Enterprises, Inc. (NYSE: NUS - News), presented results and consistency of findings from two large studies at the 15th International Symposium on Carotenoids in Okinawa, Japan. The research concludes that skin carotenoid levels measured with the Pharmanex® BioPhotonic Scanner correlate with, and are a good indication of, the body's overall antioxidant defense system. Carotenoids are pigments that are primarily found in fruits and vegetables and have been the focus of intense research to determine their importance in human health.

"The Pharmanex studies demonstrate that we are accurately measuring something meaningful with the Skin Carotenoid Score from the Pharmanex BioPhotonic Scanner," said Joe Chang, Ph.D., chief scientific officer and executive vice president of product development at Nu Skin Enterprises. "The conclusions reached from this study are another validation of the ability of the Pharmanex BioPhotonic Scanner to accurately depict an individual's overall antioxidant defense system."


Skin Carotenoids Correlate with Overall Antioxidant Status

An important finding from the Pharmanex study was a positive correlation between a person's carotenoid antioxidants, such as beta-carotene, lutein and lycopene, and levels of other important non-carotenoid antioxidants, such as vitamins C and E. The research concludes that skin carotenoid levels are a good marker for an individual's overall antioxidant status. Antioxidants are known to counter free radical damage resulting from a variety of sources, including exposure to pollution, cigarette smoke and sunlight, and being overweight.


Higher Antioxidant Levels Show Reduced Oxidative Damage

By measuring a biomarker of oxidative stress (urinary F2-Isoprostranes), study authors were able to demonstrate that higher skin carotenoid levels are associated with lower levels of oxidative damage. This suggests that a healthy antioxidant system offers greater protection from oxidative stress and can therefore promote better nutritional health.

BioPhotonic Scanner Measurements Correlate with Industry "Gold Standard"

Finally, skin carotenoids measured quickly and painlessly with the non-invasive Pharmanex BioPhotonic Scanner using Raman Spectroscopy were shown to be positively correlated with serum carotenoid levels measured by the conventional method of high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), which typically requires a blood draw and specialized analytical equipment.

"HPLC is the gold standard of carotenoid measurement, yet we've effectively shown that a non-invasive two-minute measurement with the Pharmanex BioPhotonic Scanner is just as accurate," said Mark Bartlett, Ph.D., vice president of Pharmanex global research and development at Nu Skin Enterprises. "The BioPhotonic Scanner is an innovative business tool our distributors can use to definitively demonstrate that Pharmanex nutritional products make a difference for their customer's carotenoid status and potentially their overall antioxidant health."

Steve Wood, Ph.D., R.D., Pharmanex senior scientist at Nu Skin Enterprises, presented the research that was conducted in collaboration with scientists at several universities.


About the Pharmanex BioPhotonic Scanner

More than 8 million people worldwide have been scanned during the past six years with the Pharmanex BioPhotonic Scanner and are empowered to develop a personalized antioxidant defense strategy with an individual Skin Carotenoid Score (SCS). SCS-certified products Lifepak® nano and g3 are sold by Nu Skin distributors with a money-back guarantee. Utilizing non-invasive Raman Spectroscopy, the Pharmanex BioPhotonic Scanner is a unique tool that can very effectively demonstrate the bioavailability of carotenoid-containing supplements. Nu Skin Enterprises is the exclusive owner of the patented Pharmanex BioPhotonic Scanner technology and received the 2005 American Business Award for the Most Innovative Company in recognition of the scanner.


About the International Symposium on Carotenoids

The 15th International Symposium on Carotenoids was held June 22-27 in Okinawa, Japan. The International Symposium was founded in 1966 and every three years scientists gather for critical presentations and discussions in the fields of carotenoid research, such as organic and biological chemistry, physics, medical science, biology and industrial application. Recent interest in carotenoids as essential nutrients has diversified carotenoid research into new areas, especially nutrition and medicine. The International Carotenoid Society exists to provide support and encourage all areas of carotenoid science.
