Thanksgiving Day is November 22

We recently posted an article looking back at the groundbreaking ProArgi-9+ discoveries made by the Hughes Center in 2015, which revolve around the amazing power of nitric oxide in the body. Nitric oxide (NO) is one of the smallest molecules in the human body, and like oxygen (O2), it plays an extraordinarily important role for maintaining a healthy life. Nitric oxide keeps arteries wide so that oxygen can be easily delivered to all the organs where it is needed.

NO is produced, in many different cell types throughout the body, from the amino acid precursor l-arginine. The conversion of l-arginine to NO makes it a very unique amino acid that is of essential nutritional importance.

Read about the remarkable discoveries on Synergy’s ProArgi-9+ formula, here!

The site of NO production determines its biological effects:

• In the arteries, NO keeps blood flow high and keeps arteries smooth and flexible.
• In the gut, NO enhances intestinal function.
• In the airway system, NO helps keep air flowing freely to the lungs.
• In the brain and nervous system, NO contributes to normal memory formation.

By enhancing NO production, l-arginine is able to promote all of these effects. Thus, it is no wonder that such a huge diversity of organ functions are positively affected by l-arginine supplementation. Some people may call it a wonder, but we call it science.

Indeed, people with all different kinds of health concerns have reported improvements in their health status while on consistent, top-quality l-arginine supplementation.

One true fact needs to be considered though, when one contemplates this broad variety of health benefits: None of them can be achieved if l-arginine levels in blood are not successfully elevated above “normal” all the time. The powerful combination of l-arginine with l-citrulline has the biological potential to achieve this goal, and ProArgi-9+ has been scientifically studied to do this.

The success of the ProArgi-9+ forumula success is also explained by some of its additional ingredients that support stimulating the production of NO:

Resveratrol, the powerful antioxidant contained in red wine, supports the biological actions of NO on cells by reducing toxic oxygen radicals that may not only destroy the NO molecule, but also cause severe harm to the cell itself.

Vitamin D3 has been known as a vitamin that is good for bone health. However, medical research in the last few years has revealed that it is also an important regulator of blood vessel function! Vitamin D3 has also shown to benefit cell growth, along with glucose and fat metabolism.

The synergistic combination of other ingredients within ProArgi-9+, including C, K, and B vitamin blends, enhance the overall effect as well upon human health. This combination was carefully composed and is regularly put to the test every day.

Thus, the power of ProArgi9+ is in the quality of its ingredients, and in the science and research that developed this phenomenal product.

We look forward to having you join us!

This past summer in North America proved to be one of our most exciting in recent memory! With new leaders taking the reins, and seasoned leaders building more than ever before, Synergy’s growth in North America has been phenomenal.

As of the end of September, North America has a new Pearl Executive, a new Team Manager, seven new Team Leaders, and many others successfully working their businesses. As if this weren’t exciting enough, many of the Team Leaders who advanced this summer are brand new to Synergy WorldWide!

We reached out to some of these new leaders and they were happy to let us in on some of their secrets to success and what drives them.

David Davidson is Synergy's newest Pearl Executive! What drives him is a sincere desire to help others in need. He has demonstrated true leadership and dedication throughout his career with Synergy, and everyone here at Synergy is proud of him.

“I’d like to help others to help them achieve better health and better wealth. There are a lot of people around the world who are hurting, and I can honestly say that being able to help others is the hope I have. When I found Synergy, I found a perfect vehicle that will allow us the opportunity to help those who are in need.”

Olegario Munoz is brand new to Synergy and has worked his way to Team Leader quickly.

“What impressed me most about Synergy is the stability of the company. My success comes from helping people with their health and their dreams. Focusing on helping others achieve their goals will bring you success.”

Lucia Hullinger hit Team Leader two weeks after joining Synergy! She has been working and sharing the products and the business with everyone, and it’s paying off.

“I know I can be successful at anything I put my mind to. Something else that sets me apart is the love that I have for people. I love people and that resonates with them. I am trustworthy and honest and people know they can depend on that. My advice to other Team Members is to listen to that little voice inside of them telling them to tell that one friend about it. Your mind is going to try and make sense of it. You’ll come up with all kinds of reasons of why they can’t do it. Let them decide for themselves! It is a wonderful opportunity and they deserve to hear about it. They will be grateful and they will thank you for it later.”

Carlos Marcano has some great leaders to look up to, and he’s becoming a great leader himself.

“This is not a get rich overnight business. You have to work harder than everyone on your team. You have to give yourself to others. You have to become a leader builder, which means you have to build other people’s businesses and then your business will be great.”

Durlyne Holder reached Team Leader shortly after joining the Synergy team, and she sustained that rank three months in a row during the summer!

“Without a doubt, my success must be attributed to my team. We have successfully programmed and empowered each member of the team for success by providing a safe environment, which shouts, ‘you are in this business for yourself, but not by yourself.’ Our success is always collaborative in nature and it is predicated upon a shared vision and personal interaction at all levels of our organization.”

Jose Munoz is another leader who has climbed the ranks quickly in a very short time with Synergy. He is on the road to huge success, but knows that it takes a lot of hard work to get there.

“I have never seen a compensation plan like the one we have. Once I realized how amazing the products were, I knew that we could actually have all the team winning! It takes a lot of determination and working hard every day to be successful.”

We want to thank each of the new leaders taking North America by storm. Even though some of these leaders are just getting started, they’re really making names for themselves and proving that hard work and dedication lead to success. We can’t wait to see what else you can do!

One of the most important things you can do for your overall health is to make sure you are getting adequate amounts of the nutrients vital to your body’s proper function. Often overlooked, magnesium plays a crucial role in your body and is needed for more than 300 biochemical reactions in the body.

In the past, people got the majority of their magnesium from organ meats, seafood, mineral water, and mineral-rich soil from their fresh fruits and vegetables. But with today’s processed foods, many lack an efficient amount of magnesium in their diets. If you are deficient in magnesium, you may experience muscle twitches and cramps, fatigue, and muscle weakness. If left unaddressed, magnesium deficiency/depletion can lead to much larger health issues.

Unfortunately, many health conditions can cause magnesium to be used up quickly in the body. For example, stress can lead to many issues if it is prolonged and/or frequent. In today’s world, most people’s stress levels are abnormally high. This causes your body to release large amounts of stress hormones to your brain. Magnesium prevents the entrance of stress hormones into the brain, which is why many people take magnesium before bed, to help them relax and be able to sleep soundly. It also helps to regulate muscle contractions and has anti-inflammatory properties.

How can you know if you are getting an adequate amount of magnesium? Review the recommended daily allowance (RDA) or adequate intake (IA) for men and women in the table below:

Age	Women	Men
19 - 30	310 mg	400 mg
31 - 50	320 mg	420 mg
51 +	320 mg	420 mg

Leading the industry with our advanced research and studies to pinpoint exactly what the body needs in order to achieve Elite Health, Synergy’s Body Prime contains 400 mg of magnesium in one serving size (two capsules). While you can get your daily allowance from Body Prime alone, it’s not a bad idea to eat foods high in magnesium, such as almonds (270 mg in 3.5 ounces), pumpkin seeds (262 mg in 3.5 ounces), dark chocolate (176 mg in 3.5 ounces), and peanuts (168 mg in 3.5 ounces).

If you have a health condition, it is especially important to make sure you are getting an adequate amount of magnesium and eating magnesium-rich foods, as your body will more quickly exhaust its magnesium levels. As always, be sure to consult with your physician before supplementing with magnesium, or any other vitamins or supplements.

Three years ago today, scientists at the Hughes Center for Research and Innovation made several remarkable discoveries on Synergy’s ProArgi-9+ formula, showing that ProArgi-9+ can do what l-arginine cannot do on its own. Following these discoveries, Nature’s Sunshine filed a United States provisional patent application to ensure that Synergy maintained exclusive rights to this iconic formula.

Dr. Matthew Tripp, Nature’s Sunshine’s former Chief Scientific Officer, shared some insights into these discoveries.

“Numerous studies have shown the cardiovascular benefits of l-arginine. However, our preliminary in vitro and human studies showed that the unique combination of ingredients in our ProArgi-9+ formula enhances the effects of l-arginine within the body in several ways.”

Discovery #1

The body converts the amino acid l-arginine into nitric oxide to support healthy circulatory and cardiovascular function. Although l-arginine alone can increase the surrogate marker of saliva nitric oxide, this is a gradual process. In testing ProArgi-9+, Nature’s Sunshine found that its formula significantly and rapidly increases the level of nitric oxide in the body.

The findings of this study are significant because other studies show that aging and poor diet can affect the metabolic systems responsible for producing nitric oxide, causing them to work less effectively. Healthy nitric oxide levels are important for proper vasodilation, along with blood pressure, muscle, heart, and central nervous system function*.

Discovery #2

Previous studies have shown that l-arginine has no significant effect on myeloperoxidase, an enzyme that inhibits nitric oxide production. Additionally, l-arginine has no significant influence on inhibiting the oxidation of LDL cholesterol. The Hughes Center’s preliminary study discovered that the unique combination of ingredients found in Synergy’s ProArgi-9+ potently inhibited myeloperoxidase and helps to reduce the oxidation of LDL cholesterol.

“These groundbreaking studies are exactly what we hoped for when the Hughes Center opened its doors in February 2015,” said Dan Norman, President of Synergy WorldWide. “Thanks to Dr. Matthew Tripp and his team of skilled scientists, we can publicize the proven impact ProArgi-9+ can have on countless lives all over the world. This is exciting news, and we are eager to share it with individuals around the world with the hope of helping more people achieve Elite Health.”

Together, the results of these studies indicate that the unique properties found in ProArgi-9+ positively impact cardiovascular health by supporting the production of nitric oxide and inhibiting myeloperoxidase. These findings support the use of ProArgi-9+ for optimal heart health.

The Hughes Center continually reveals the power that lies in Synergy products. Synergy WorldWide is incredibly fortunate to have a brilliant and seasoned staff of scientists standing behind its products, providing telling research that reinforces Synergy’s mission to leave a lasting legacy of health around the world.

Synergy WorldWide is proud to announce its new Chief Executive Officer, Terrence Moorehead. As of October 1, 2018, Mr. Moorehead will lead Synergy WorldWide and Nature’s Sunshine Products into a bright and prosperous future with his global experience, brand building, and operational strategy.

With more than 20 years of experience developing consumer strategies, strengthening processes, and driving profitability across multiple channels, Mr. Moorehead brings leadership, passion, and focus to NSP/Synergy. His in-depth experience leading complex transformations, revitalizing brands, and building high-performance teams is fully in line with the company's future plans.

“Terrence is the type of leader that will help us reach new heights and continue our growth throughout the world,” said Dan Norman, Synergy WorldWide President. “His extensive knowledge of the direct selling business, brand, strategy, and his focus on every person’s potential to be a great leader, make him the perfect person for this job.”

Not only does Mr. Moorehead possess an extensive and impressive resume, but his energy and enthusiasm for people make him a strong and valuable advocate for Synergy Team Members around the world.

He joins NSP/Synergy from Carlisle-Etcetera LLC, a luxury women's apparel house that creates exclusive designer collections. At Carlisle, he enhanced branding, contemporized styling, and improved service by building omni-channel capabilities. He also served as CEO at Dana Beauty, a leader in fragrances and personal care products, where he revitalized the company’s focus on sales, new product development, and marketing excellence, with a strong emphasis on driving profitability. Prior to that, Terrence spent more than 20 years with Avon Products where he helped lead the transformation from a $2 billion company to $12 billion in annual revenue. While at Avon, he served as Vice President of Global Strategic Planning, Vice President of Strategy and Digital for North America, General Manager of Avon Italy, President of Avon Canada, and President and Chairman of Avon Japan. Prior to joining Avon, Mr. Moorehead was a management consultant at Booz Allen Hamilton. He received his MBA from the Columbia University Graduate School of Business and his BA from Boston College in Economics and Marketing.

"I am very excited to be joining the incredible team at [Synergy],” said Mr. Moorehead. “The company has a long history of excellence, quality, and innovation, but there's still tremendous opportunity for growth. The company's global footprint and leadership in product development are an excellent platform to drive growth. I am eager to join the team and partner with our distributors and employees to take the business to the next level."

Welcome to the Synergy family, Terrence! We are thrilled to see you cultivate growth and support our teams across the world.

At this very moment, scientists are suited up in lab coats and goggles, working hard to improve Synergy WorldWide’s product offering and product efficacy in The Hughes Center for Research and Innovation.

Efficacy is a word that is often used when discussing product formulations, and its meaning describes exactly what Synergy WorldWide’s focus is: creating products that are scientifically proven to work. An efficacious product is one that does precisely what it was intended to do, and Synergy products are intended to help you live life fully with a complete and trusted health system.

“It is one thing to say that a product works, but it’s another to say there is proof that a product works,” said Dr. Joseph Lamb, the Hughes Center’s medical director. “Because of this lab, you will be able to sit down with a business partner and tell them about our unique ingredient combinations, about how these products weren’t just created by three guys in a meeting room with a few medical books and limited funds. Our goal is to deliver valuable products and product information to as many groups as possible.”

Without testing products on human subjects, it’s impossible to know how effective the products are, which is why the Hughes Center’s clinical labs are imperative to the future development of Synergy WorldWide and its product line. The process leading up to performing a clinical trial is extensive and requires months of preparation. Take a walk through the clinical process that scientists execute as they work to prove that Synergy products are among the best in the nutritional supplement industry.

The Idea

All clinical trials begin with a light bulb moment. When the clinical teams develop a substantial idea based on the most important nutritional and health needs of the modern world, they begin combining safe ingredients and performing self-studies. When the research team discovers a formulation that they feel confident about presenting, they meet with the independent review board composed of company executives and personnel from various company departments about whether this product makes sense from a business perspective.

The Protocol

Every clinical trial needs a clear set of directions. Questions including “Who do we recruit and test? How many subjects do we need? How old are the subjects? Are they generally healthy enough to participate? How do we instruct subjects to take the product? What information do we want to collect?” The protocol goes through several drafts and is questioned in detail by several company departments. Dozens of additional questions—“Is the study unique? Is it ethical? Is this the best subject demographic?”—are asked as these departments consider how influential the trial will be to Team Members who are looking to market the product with clinical proof. After these questions are finalized and organized into a protocol, the protocol is sent to an outside review board (IRB) for input and approval.

The Subjects

Based on the protocol’s final instructions, the clinical team begins searching for the correct group of subjects. Often, subjects are recruited within the walls of the Synergy WorldWide and Nature’s Sunshine office buildings. When a more specific group of subjects is required, the clinical team will seek the help of the marketing team to publicize the study and recruit the target demographic. When the group is selected, each participant comes into the lab for an initial meeting where the trial objective and product usage is explained and screening lab work is conducted to ensure the subject is healthy enough to participate. The subject may come back multiple times throughout the trial period to report results or once at the end of the trial period, depending on the study.

The Data

Thousands of data points are compiled over the period of a clinical trial including physical samples. A study of 20 subjects can produce more than 560 individual samples. These samples are then kept in two freezers that are large enough to store more than 45,000 samples per freezer. The samples are kept at -80° Celsius to maintain each sample’s integrity. The clinical team will use additional testing groups within Synergy and NSP’s scientific teams to evaluate the collected specimens using a number of tests.

For example, a bioavailability study shows the degree and rate at which a potential product ingredient is absorbed into the human body. Measuring nitric oxide levels in the blood indicates whether or not a subject is getting proper nutrition. An Endopat is a non-invasive test to assess cardiovascular health and risk factors. These are examples of literally hundreds of test that may be performed to assess the safety and efficacy of a given product.

The Conclusion

When every specimen is analyzed, study results are compiled and evaluated for statistical significance. The clinical team must measure the new product’s impact and determine whether or not it is ready for the market. Every detail carried out in a clinical trial is in anticipation of these results.

The findings that emerge from The Hughes Center’s clinical labs have the potential to cause rapid growth in Synergy’s markets, and thanks to the knowledge of brilliant scientists, the information they can uncover is limitless. Only through the innovative research conducted at the Hughes Center can the true potential resting in Synergy’s proprietary formulations be unlocked.
