* S2G. ageLOC R2 Question:
"The main ingredient for R2 day is chinese herbs, ginseng and cordyceps whereby these herbs are already common in the market. How is it a breakthrough technology where it can reset our genes and make our youth genes more expressed out ? what is the specialty in R2 that make it a dfferent against what is already in the market ?"
Thank you for your email and enquiries. Kindly allow me to assist you.
The modulation of gene expression has been affecting the human race (and all organisms) since the beginning of time. With ageLOC technology, we are affecting gene expression the same way that diet and nutrition affects gene expression. Although our genetic makeup (DNA) remains unchanged throughout our life (with the exception of mutations), the rate at which individual genes are expressed changes as we age; yet other factors have also been affecting gene expression throughout the course of our life—including the nutrients we consume and other lifestyle factors such as exercise, stress, and smoking. The breakthrough of ageLOC is that, for the first time, we are able to directly assess the gene expression effects of compounds—selecting the ones that modulate gene expression of Youth Gene Clusters (YGC) to perform most comparably to youthful patterns of expression.
ageLOC is different than other anti-aging approaches because ageLOC focuses on addressing the sources of aging at a genetic level. ageLOC science is based on exclusive access to over 30 years of anti-aging genetic research. ageLOC science identifies, targets and resets YGC, the genes associated with aging. ageLOC science has been proven to work on the outside (our skin)—and now ageLOC science moves to the inside. With ageLOC you can look and feel younger longer. When it comes to feeling young, vibrant and energized, it all begins with our genes. Unfortunately, the aging process changes the way our genes express and this affects our cells, impairing our natural youthfulness. ageLOC R 2 helps to purify and revitalize our cells so they can function more like they did when we were younger. ageLOC R 2 works by targeting and resetting two important clusters of genes (detoxification and energy production) to a more youthful time. Recharge and reset with the dual action of ageLOC R 2 .
There are two products in ageLOC R 2 , which are ageLOC R 2 Day (Pharmanex Asian ginseng Rb1 Root extract, cordyceps Cs-4 mushroom mycelia & pomegranate fruit extract; 6 capsules in the morning) and ageLOC R 2 Night (grape seed extract, red orange fruit extract and broccoli seed extract; 2 capsules in the evening).
ageLOC R 2 Day contains a blend of Cordyceps sinensis Cs-4 Mushroom Mycelia, Pharmanex Asian Ginseng Rb1 (Panax ginseng), and unique patented pomegranate extract (Punica granatum) formulated to address the sources of age-related vitality loss. By supporting healthy, youthful expression of a mitochondria-related YGC, it promotes optimal mitochondrial performance to help your cells produce energy more efficiently. This exclusive ageLOC R 2 Day blend improves three key areas of vitality such as physical vigor, mental acuity, and sexual desire.
ageLOC R 2 Night is intended to support the cell’s natural purification mechanisms on a continual daily basis. Cellular purification through maintenance of a clean cell environment (instead of seasonal harsh purging) promotes greater benefits. If waste is allowed to accumulate even for a short period of time, it inflicts damage on cell structures causing greater toxin build-up. By resetting gene expression of cellular purification genes to youthful levels, each cell continuously maintains a clean cellular environment.
Even though the ingredients found in are common in market, however, there are really three aspects that make our product much more than “the sum of the individual parts”. Firstly, two of the three ingredients in ageLOC R 2 Day are unique to Nu Skin, no other company has access to our unique ginseng extraction process, and Pharmanex owns the rights the Cs-4 strain of cordyceps sinensis. The patented pomegranate we are using is also a proprietary extract which we selected for its unique gene modulating activity. When other pomegranate extracts have been considered for their gene modulation effects, they have all been rejected. Their antioxidant benefits may have been excellent, but inclusion of ageLOC ingredients is based on gene modulation.
Secondly, while each of these raw ingredients may be available through other companies, the difference is to be found in the processing of the ingredient. For example, it is true that people can find any number of products on the market that contain the raw ingredient ginseng (or cordyceps, or pomegranate), but raw ingredients are composed of 100s (even 1000’s) of compounds and an extraction process concentrates only a small set of those compounds; the difference between various extractions lies all in which specific compounds the extraction process selects for. It is true that ginseng products extracted with the same basic extraction process would yield the same end product, with basically the same benefits. But ageLOC R 2 Day’s Pharmanex Asian Ginseng Rb1 (Panax ginseng) Root Extract is anything but basic. However, several steps from 6S process are handled entirely differently from that of a standard ginseng extract. The end result is a ginseng extract with biological activity not found in other ginseng extracts. The same can be said of both our cordyceps and the pomegranate.
And finally, one of the miracles behind the ageLOC since is the idea of specific ingredients in specific ratios working on specific parts of the body to bring about youthful genetic expression. Our collaboration with LifeGen Technologies confirms that gene modulation from the same ingredient can differ from tissue type to tissue type. Furthermore, specific ingredient dosing can yield different gene expression responses; there are examples showing that two doses of the same ingredient do not bring about the same modulation effects, and more is not always better. Finding the right dosage of the right extracts optimizes genetic expression modification.
In summary, although the ingredient names may not be uncommon, however, the processing (including the extraction process), and the unique ratio and dose of each individual ingredient provide unique gene modulation effects that has not been observed in any other combination of the same ingredients.
