Gene Expression

Everything we do impacts our genes and how they express themselves. Our eating habits, the stress of life, and our physical exercise are all contributing factors to gene expression.  Expression of the mitochondrial youth gene cluster (YCG) is responsible for the loss of vitality or energy that people feel as they age. LifeGen Technologies is the first agency that has discovered how to influence the expression of the mitochondrial YCG.  (Note that this is not gene alteration!) With this ageLOC science, Pharmanex has developed the product Vitality that can reset the YCG to a more youthful pattern of activity.  Nu Skin is the only company that can distribute this first ever genetic product.

ageLOC Science - What is it?

AgeLOC is a new scientific program  based on genetics used by LifeGen Technologies, LLC 
Scientists and pharmaceutical companies have been looking for many years for a “mother” gene 
AgeLOC science has discovered that no  single gene controls aging.
There are 25,000 genes in human genome . Science has identified & isolated from that the cluster of genes that specifically  addresses aging. Using patented algorithms, science is able to locate the aging genes.
They have also discovered how groups of genes  interrelate and act together to regulate aging effects. The groups related to aging are  labeled, “youth gene clusters”  (YCG).

I am continually learning about how great the human body really is and the wonderful "science leaps" that make our lives better!

Fountain of Youth Discoveries

Generations of people have been looking for the "fountain of youth". 
It is a legendary spring that is supposed to restore the youth of anyone who drinks from its fountain.
Tales of the "fountain of youth" have been recounted across world for 1,000’s of years. This legend became

prominent in the 16th century when it became attached to the famous Ponce De Leon. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fountain_of_Youth)
Science has been also involved in looking for what causes the aging process in the human body. I found several articles dating back to as early as 2001 that refer to these scientific discoveries. http://www.scienceagogo.com/news/20010824233923data_trunc_sys.shtml

I have come to the conclusion that the scientific research done to produce ageLOC Vitality has been years in the making and more is yet to come!
