What is Pharmanex?
A leading pharmaceutical scientist, Dr. Michael Chang first conceived Pharmanex in 1994. His vision was to create safe and efficient dietary supplements by applying the disciplines of Western science to natural products.
During his 15 years in the pharmaceutical industry, Dr. Chang examined 50,000 different extracts, searching for ways to protect, preserve and improve people's health. As Deputy Director of Medicinal Chemistry at pharmaceutical giant Merck, Sharp and Dohme, he traveled the world looking for "magic bullets," those single chemicals that could be taken from a natural source and transformed into a drug.
According to Dr. Chang, relying on chemical drugs may result in products that relieve symptoms, are less effective in resolving the root of the problem, while causing complications and side effects. Pharmaceuticals can also be expensive, as pharmaceutical companies require that sales of new products cover as much of the cost of development as possible in the first year to justify the resources that have been put into them. Dr. Chang felt that these factors were not viable reasons to discard potentially useful products from their line. He realized the tremendous benefit natural products created, refined, and substantiated through a scientific pharmaceutical approach.
Dr. Chang eventually left the pharmaceutical industry to pursue his vision of delivering natural nutraceutical products that could be scientifically proven to change people's lives. His vision attracted the business expertise needed to build a successful company. On October 18, 1998, Pharmanex was acquired by Nu Skin Enterprises, Inc. (NYSE: NUS), a leading direct sales company.
With one of the premier distribution channels in the world, Pharmanex is enjoying a major global expansion—creating an exciting opportunity to further impact the masses in the global preventative healthcare markets.
