About Joseph Chang

Joseph Chang, Executive Vice President and Chief Scientific Officer at Nu Skin Enterprises, has been promoting the company's Prism device and its Life Pack reformulation in multiple presentations and interviews. Chang described the Prism as a "precision device" that uses light technology and artificial intelligence to measure "nutritional health" rather than simply detecting antioxidants, stating that "the higher your prism score... you are gaining four more years of biological you're younger." He characterized the device's data variability as "noise" that is actually "a language" related to "new molecules... that we are picking up on the body that's indicative of another aspect of healthy aging." Chang also discussed the reformulated Life Pack, saying the company waited for "the technology to continue to improve" before "transform[ing]" the product, and emphasized that the company is "not a me too company." Chang described Nu Skin as "an anti-aging company" and presented a "seesaw" theory of aging in which aging is a balance between "tissue repair" and tissue breakdown. He contrasted Nu Skin's Vitameal program with other aid programs, saying "the phrase nourish the children was deliberately chosen" and that other programs provide "no nourishment... it's all carbs." Chang also discussed gene expression, distinguishing it from gene mutation, and stated that "the body is a symphony" requiring multiple interventions rather than a single approach. He described the company's business model as driven by recruitment, retention, and volume, and told distributors that "nothing moves in your skin because you are the east wind."

Hi everybody, I'm here to talk about health and wellness in general and how our approach to Nu Skin makes sure that our body stays healthy and strong. Some of the products we have, perhaps today I'll need to focus on some of the top products we have in Nu Skin. There will be, for example, LifePak Nano, AgeLock Youth, which is the latest anti-aging supplement we have. ReishiMax would be a good relevant product to talk about today, and maybe I'll just end with a product such as TeGreen. And maybe something on the lines of how all these products fit together. Fundamentally, when we look at health and wellness in Nu Skin, we are really thinking about building a house of nutrition, if you will. And whereas obviously in any house that one builds, the most important thing to put together regardless of the shape of the house and the architecture and so on, the most important thing is the foundation. And this foundation in our case, building this house of nutrition, is all about a product such as LifePak Nano. As far as I'm concerned, I think frankly one would consider that to be a foundational multivitamin, multi-mineral supplement that we have. Obviously, LifePak Nano has been in Nu Skin for many years now. It continues to be a very, very beneficial product to have as a foundational supplement, as I mentioned to you. And now with the recent launch of a product such as AgeLock Youth, I would consider that to be a second cornerstone in our portfolio. Yes, I mentioned to you rather than focusing on the nutrition side of things, we have added on with AgeLock Youth the anti-aging benefits, where we have focused on things like what we have been calling the aging defense mechanisms that exist naturally in our body. And those are the mechanisms that AgeLock Youth can actually protect and continue to support. Let me go back to LifePak Nano for a bit. As you can imagine, we have over 50 plus active ingredients in LifePak Nano. In fact, we have included in LifePak Nano a fish oil ingredient. So that is the most comprehensive multivitamin, multi-mineral supplement that we have today. And clearly, as I mentioned to you, it is something that one should consider to be a foundational product. AgeLock Youth, the most advanced anti-aging supplement that we have produced, and for several years now it has continued to be a great product to consider as part of your nutritional support. And when we develop that product, we actually look at sources of aging at the genetic level. This would be the genes, how age-related genes are being expressed. And through those particular genetic insights, we have used those insights to develop the product AgeLock Youth. And one of these aging defense mechanisms, to talk about a rather technical term, but obviously one of them would be related to the immune system. And cardiovascular system would be a second aging defense mechanism that we can actually fortify and support with a product such as AgeLock Youth. So overall, that would be another foundational product that should be considered. Now specifically with a solution product such as ReishiMax, that is a product that we extracted from a traditional herb called the reishi mushroom. One of the things that we did through a proprietary extraction process is to make sure that we have captured all the active ingredients in this particular mushroom, so that ReishiMax is a consistent, safe, and effective product that we have developed over the years. So the extraction process is very important for us to be able to achieve that particular goal. ReishiMax, through many, many scientific studies now, has been shown to have very profound benefits in supporting the immune system. So those will be three products to consider. And last but not least, TeGreen. Again, you would think that this is a fairly simple product. After all, the name would imply it is a green tea product. But we don't just use ground-up leaves for our TeGreen product. Again, it is focused and entirely developed through the extraction process so that we have consistent levels or amounts of active ingredients in TeGreen. So it's an extract rather than just merely ground-up leaves. So there you go, four products that are good that you should consider. They are relevant, and I think overall when you look at these products, it definitely should help to provide the most optimal nutritional support that anyone first would wish.
