The Pharmanex Difference... Science is the Difference

Traditional Chinese Medicine Scientifically Adapted Scientists of Pharmanex are bridging the gap between the 2000 year history of traditional Chinese pharmacopoeia and modern Western science. By applying the pharmaceutical science of discovery to ancient remedies, Pharmanex scientists have been successful in identifying the key active ingredients of herbal substances known to be effective and extracting/refining them by using the latest techniques. By doing so, Pharmanex has made it possible to provide the desired benefits of these ingredients in a convenient capsule or tablet delivery system.

Pharmaceutical Like Methods Applied to Nutritional Supplements
Pharmanex is unlike most nutritional supplement companies with questionable research and manufacturing standards. Pharmanex boasts a network of 125 scientists and Ph.D.s, many of whom began their careers with major pharmaceutical companies and chose to apply what they had learned in the pharmaceutical industry to the preventive health care arena to better serve the public's immediate health care needs. The result is the highest grade, clinically substantiated dietary supplement products available on the market today.

For many of its products, Pharmanex owns the production process from start to finish ensures quality at all stages of production and will allow Pharmanex Distributors to provide products to retail customers at lower prices, while still providing the most generous business plan in the direct selling industry.

Exclusive 6S Quality Process
To ensure the products are of the highest quality, Pharmanex adopted the 6S Quality Process to develop dietary supplements. The 6S Quality Process includes six different steps:

• Selection - this refers to the selection of projects Pharmanex chooses to pursue.
• Sourcing - this covers everything involved in choosing the raw materials needed for the most crucial stages ensuring constant quality.
• Structure - Pharmanex does chemical analysis on each natural product to find out what is the active component and what is the structure. By isolating the structures, Pharmanex maintains efficiency in the manufacturing process and sees to it that the necessary elements are in there is the right quantity.
• Standardization - this is the manufacturing process to ensure batch consistency and quality.
• Safety - include all tests performed for product safety in human clinical trials, as well as in bio-chemical and several biology methods to ensure no toxic substance or heavy metal will be contained in the product.
• Substantiation - this covers all of the clinical studies performed to substantiate the claims of each product.

The 6S Quality Process ensures maximum health benefits and quality. Every package, every capsule, every time.

The prominent Research Engine
Over the past 10 years, Pharmanex has successfully organized a group of world-renowned scientists from the pharmaceutical world and qualified doctors from U.S. and Chinese universities and research organizations, who are dedicated to mining the vast resources of Chinese and other traditional pharmacopoeia. Pharmanex has made great strides in discovering and standardizing constituents in herbs and botanicals. This technology is setting new standards in the natural botanical industry, primarily in the areas of extraction, species identification, toxicology, and quality control.

Global Collaboration
Today, the Pharmanex research engine consists of at least 125 staff scientists with additional 150-plus scientists around the world. The competent collaborative partnerships, including the Council for Responsinle Nutrition, UCLA, Stanford, Columbia, Kansa and Purdue University in the United States, and Peking University, Fudan University Shanghai Medical College, Peking University Health Science Center and Beijing Institute of Materia Medica in China. Pharmanex also has access to the work of hundreds of researchers on specific projects through its collaborative partnerships with outstanding universities including UCLA, and Purdue.

Network marketing
Pharmanex learned the difficulty of differentiating their top-quality products on the shelf. Incomplete, inaccurate or misunderstood competitive labels made their products seem equivalent when they were not. Educating customers through TV or other advertising would cost hundreds of millions of dollars. What they needed was a sales force of thousands of educated professionals to tell their story and share the truth of the science.

Bringing Pharmanex and IDN together combines the best of state-of-the-art research and development, products, the resources of Nu Skin Enterprises, world-class information, and a rapidly growing multi-billion dollar market for preventive health care products. This places Pharmanex even further ahead of the competition and provides a ground-floor opportunity for Pharmanex Distributors. With this acquisition, Pharmanex is poised to become the undisputed leader in preventive health care maintenance.
