ageLOC Meta® (NZ)

ageLOC® Meta — Daily Metabolic Support Formulated for Modern Living

Only 1 in 8 adults is considered metabolically healthy — and it's not hard to see why. The pace of modern New Zealand life, long working hours, irregular meal times, and insufficient sleep are placing constant pressure on the body's biochemical balance. ageLOC® Meta was created to address this directly — not as a weight management product or detox, but as a daily metabolic support formula built on seven years of Nu Skin's own proprietary research into anthocyanins.

Anthocyanins are natural compounds found in deeply pigmented plant foods — the compounds responsible for the rich purples of berries, black rice, and certain vegetables. After years of rigorous research, Nu Skin's scientists identified two specific anthocyanins — Cyanidin and Delphinidin — as the most effective for metabolic health support. These are delivered through an exclusive blend of black currants, bilberries, and black rice, chosen for their exceptional anthocyanin profiles.*

Understanding Metabolic Health

Metabolic health encompasses far more than weight or energy levels. It describes the full set of biochemical processes that determine how your body functions: blood sugar regulation, insulin sensitivity, blood pressure, cholesterol, triglyceride levels, inflammatory response, immune activity, gut microbiome health, and the ongoing function of vital organs including the liver and heart.

These systems are deeply interconnected — when one falls out of balance, others tend to follow. Metabolic health also exists on a spectrum rather than as a fixed state, shifting constantly in response to our daily choices. ageLOC® Meta is designed to support movement toward the healthier end of that spectrum, working alongside — not instead of — sensible eating, regular activity, and good sleep habits.*

Key Benefits

• ✔ Helps support metabolic health*

• ✔ Helps support vital organ health, including the liver and heart*

• ✔ Helps support a healthy inflammatory balance and immune activity for healthy cellular function*

• ✔ Helps promote a healthy microbiome for better gut health*

• ✔ Features ageLOC® technology targeting core metabolism at the source

The Science: Three Superfoods, Two Key Anthocyanins

The ageLOC Meta Anthocyanin Blend draws on three carefully selected plant sources, each chosen for the specific anthocyanins they deliver:

• Black Currant — exceptionally rich in Delphinidin, one of the most bioavailable anthocyanins for metabolic support

• Bilberries — European wild berries with among the highest anthocyanin density of any fruit, with decades of nutritional research behind them

• Black Rice — an ancient grain with anthocyanin concentrations comparable to many berries, long recognised across Asian food traditions for its nutritional depth

This blend — exclusive to Nu Skin — also incorporates the proprietary ageLOC® technology platform, which targets metabolic health at the source rather than treating surface-level symptoms.*

Published Clinical Evidence

ageLOC Meta's formula is supported by published, peer-reviewed science. A randomised placebo-controlled crossover study found that participants who took the ageLOC Meta anthocyanin blend before a high-fat meal showed measurably improved metabolic and inflammatory responses compared to the placebo group. Published in Redox Biology (2022), the researchers highlighted the speed of the anthocyanins' impact as particularly significant — producing measurable metabolic benefits in a remarkably short timeframe.*

How ageLOC® Meta Compares to Other Metabolic Health Supplements in New Zealand

New Zealand's health supplement market offers a wide range of products targeting metabolic and general wellness. Here's how ageLOC Meta compares to some of the most recognised options available to New Zealand consumers:

Most metabolic supplements available in New Zealand pharmacies and health stores focus on a single system — liver herbs, blood sugar support, or general antioxidants. ageLOC® Meta takes a fundamentally broader approach, targeting the wider biochemical ecosystem through its exclusive anthocyanin mechanism — supporting metabolic function, inflammatory balance, vital organ health, and gut health concurrently.*

How to Use

Take as directed daily, ideally with food. For best results, use consistently alongside a balanced diet, regular physical activity, and adequate sleep. ageLOC® Meta supports a healthy lifestyle — it is not a substitute for one.

If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking prescription medication, consult your healthcare practitioner before use.

Sustainability

The ageLOC® Meta bottle is manufactured from 100% recycled material — reflecting Nu Skin's commitment to responsible packaging and environmental stewardship.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will ageLOC Meta help me lose weight?
No. ageLOC Meta is not a weight loss product and does not cause weight loss, nor does it replace exercise. Instead, it supports the metabolic benefits of a healthier lifestyle when combined with good nutrition, enough sleep, and regular exercise. Metabolic health affects so much more than weight — it encompasses the full range of biochemical processes responsible for energy conversion, tissue maintenance, and cellular waste elimination. Think of metabolic health as a spectrum — ageLOC Meta can help support more time on the healthier side of that range.*

What exactly is metabolic health?
Metabolic health refers to a range of biochemical processes that affect every part of our bodies — blood pressure, blood sugar, insulin sensitivity, abdominal fat, cholesterol, and triglycerides. These in turn affect inflammatory response, immune response, vital organs like the heart and liver, and microbiome and gut health. Lifestyle factors — sleep quality, dietary habits, stress levels, and physical activity — have a direct and significant impact on where we sit on the metabolic health spectrum.*

How does ageLOC Meta actually work?
Seven years of Nu Skin's proprietary research led to the discovery that this exclusive anthocyanin blend can help shift the body's biochemistry toward a healthier mode. Combined with healthy eating, regular exercise, and better sleep, ageLOC Meta helps counteract the demands of modern life by targeting the sources of metabolic health — not just the visible effects.*

Who should take ageLOC Meta?
Nu Skin's research suggests ageLOC Meta is beneficial for most adults. People who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking prescription medication should consult their healthcare practitioner before use.

How was ageLOC Meta developed?
Seven years of proprietary research went into identifying which anthocyanins are most effective for metabolic health support, followed by preclinical and clinical studies under Nu Skin's rigorous quality process covering safety, efficacy, and consistency throughout every stage of development.

Is the packaging sustainable?
Yes — the ageLOC Meta bottle is designed with 100% recycled material, part of Nu Skin's broader commitment to reducing packaging waste.

How is ageLOC Meta different from a standard antioxidant supplement?
Standard antioxidant supplements typically take a broad approach to oxidative stress. ageLOC Meta is specifically targeted — isolating Cyanidin and Delphinidin as the two anthocyanins most effective for metabolic health, then sourcing them from the three plant foods that deliver the highest concentrations. This level of specificity, driven by seven years of proprietary research, is what distinguishes Meta from general antioxidant products.*

Can I take ageLOC Meta alongside other supplements?
For most healthy adults, yes. The formula has a focused, clean ingredient list and is generally compatible with standard supplement routines. If you are taking prescription medications or managing a specific health condition, check with your GP or healthcare practitioner before introducing any new supplement.

How long before I notice a difference?
Metabolic health changes occur at a biochemical level and aren't always immediately visible. Most people find that consistent daily use over 4–8 weeks, combined with supportive lifestyle habits, is where the cumulative benefit becomes most noticeable. The published clinical study demonstrated measurable improvements even in a single high-fat meal context — but sustained benefit comes from consistent, ongoing use.*

Is ageLOC Meta suitable for vegetarians or vegans?
The softgel capsule contains gelatin (animal-derived), so the current formulation is not suitable for vegans or vegetarians who avoid animal by-products. The active anthocyanin blend is entirely plant-sourced.

What makes the ageLOC Meta anthocyanin blend exclusive?
The specific three-source combination of black currant, bilberry, and black rice — standardised to deliver the precise Cyanidin and Delphinidin ratio identified through Nu Skin's research as optimal for metabolic health — is proprietary. No other supplement uses this exact formulation.*
