Forbes Names Nature's Sunshine/Synergy WorldWide one of America’s Most Trustworthy Companies
Earlier this year, Forbes published its list of
America’s 100 Most Trustworthy Companies, naming Nature’s Sunshine /
Synergy WorldWide under its Micro-Cap category. Being named to this list
demonstrates Synergy's commitment to being “a model of openness and integrity,”
according to Forbes’ own description.Nature’s Sunshine (NATR), the parent company and valued partner of Synergy WorldWide, is one of just four companies in the entire pharmaceuticals category to make it on this prestigious list. Of the four, Nature's Sunshine/Synergy holds the highest AGR score (92 out of 100).* Furthermore, we are the only direct selling company listed.
This honor further demonstrates the continuing commitment of Synergy WorldWide and Nature's Sunshine to integrity in every facet of our business practices.
How is such a list created?
Forbes relies on GMI Ratings for help in ranking companies on the trustworthiness scale. GMI (GovernanceMetrics International) looks at 60 different governance and forensic accounting measures. Companies with the most accounting transparency, the lowest incidence of high-risk events and those that have appropriate Board supervision typically rank the highest. Other determining factors include penalties for excessive executive compensation, high turnover among management, high levels of short-term executive compensation, etc.
GMI examines over 8,000 publically traded companies and assigns a risk score quarterly. Companies on the top 100 list must have market caps of $250 million or more. And they may not have amended filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, no SEC enforcement actions and no material restatements.
*AGR score is the accounting and governance risk score. For more information, visit http://www.forbes.com/sites/jacquelynsmith/2013/03/18/americas-100-most-trustworthy-companies/

Dr. Böger on ProArgi-9+, ADMA and Synergy
Earlier today, Dr. Rainer Böger called
from Germany to be joined by a large number of listeners. As this month's Cardio
Call special guest, he explained ProArgi-9+ and the way it acts in the body. If
you were unable to join the call don't worry— the call has been recorded
and you can listen to it here at your convenience.

Dr. Böger on ADMA
Some of the major achievements of Dr. Böger's career involve his research on asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) as a risk marker of vascular disease. In today's Cardio Call, he took time to address the subject of ADMA and a misunderstanding that is becoming all too common in the industry.
Some have suggested that because ADMA blocks l-arginine that it thereby cancels out all potential benefits of ProArgi-9+ in the body. However, the truth as pointed out by Dr. Böger is that the presence of ADMA in a person's body is the very reason high quality l-arginine supplementation is so necessary.
"We see 2 out of 3 people have a deficite in l-arginine," says Dr. Böger. "This, in most people, is not true because they have such low levels of arginine in the blood, but because they have high levels of ADMA in the blood. When someone has high ADMA, that person is in need of additional arginine from a dietary supplement. People who have high ADMA have a high need of l-arginine from ProArgi-9+. We have data to show that for explicitly those with a high ADMA, l-arginine supplements will work well. For those with a low ADMA, the need to have a high dose of arginine supplements is not so great."
Be sure to listen to the rest of the recording as he explores this subject in greater detail.

Professor Rainer H. Böger, MD, is a leading expert in L-arginine research and member of Synergy’s Medical and Scientific Advisory Board.
After receiving his initial medical training at Hannover Medical School in Hannover, Germany, Dr. Böger then received his postgraduate training in Internal Medicine and Pharmacology both in Hannover and at Stanford University School of Medicine in Stanford, CA.

Dating back to the beginning of his medical career, Dr. Böger has been heavily involved in the research and treatment of cardiovascular related diseases. In 1991, while working closely with pharmaceutical drug companies to develop treatments that could combat and alleviate such diseases, he became highly interested in nitric oxide (NO) and its effects on the vascular system.
Over 23 years of academic research has been conducted by Dr. Böger in basic science and clinical studies related to L-arginine and its influence on the body’s ability to produce NO.
Dr. Böger collaborates with renowned institutions like the Mayo Clinic and Stanford University Medical Center. Dr. Böger’s extensive knowledge, expertise, and ongoing research clearly set him apart as one of the world’s leading L-arginine experts

Global Summit 2013
All of your successes this year are cause to celebrate, and with the highly anticipated 2013 Global Summit around the corner, we have the opportunity to unite in Seoul, Korea, and applaud you for your hard work. Growth in rank advancements is one of many exciting progressions Synergy has seen in recent months. We broke into the weight management market when we launched SLMsmart in the United States. This natural weight management system has helped many distributors and customers reach their weight loss goals, and we are proud to announce that this line of product will be available in Korea upon its international debut at the Global Summit. We are eager to see the positive impact these powerful products have on Korean Team Members’ businesses and their quality of life. Our executive team is looking forward to sharing more about Synergy WorldWide’s future at the Global Summit.
New Chief Scientific Officer
Our No. 1 priority at Synergy is creating high-potency, natural products that are of the highest quality. However, this is unattainable without the expertise of our distinguished team of scientists. In May we welcomed Dr. Matthew Tripp, Ph.D., as the new Chief Scientific Officer—an integral leader at our manufacturing facility. His extensive background in research and development, including many years’ in Fortune 500 companies, makes him a fundamental addition. We are honored to have Dr. Tripp aboard and commit to continue bringing only the most reputable professionals to our team.
Pro-Argi9+ in the Medical World
Medical specialists across the United States have manufacturers’ prescribing information at their fingertips through the annually published Physicians’ Desk Reference. ProArgi-9+ will make its first appearance in the PDR’s 68th edition coming 2014. Anyone with access to the PDR can read a full legal description about our best-selling product. This publication is not only available to physicians, but is available through various bookstores and electronic libraries, making information about our product available to the masses. The PDR is the most respected and recognized medical reference book available today, which means ProArgi-9+—and Synergy WorldWide—will receive more traffic and notoriety. We hope this publicity encourages more people to discover ProArgi-9+ and its value in maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

Thai Regional Summit Recap
Day 1
.jpg)
The magnificent Thailand played host to South East Asia’s greatest event of 2012: The 2012 Synergy Regional Summit. The land of smiles welcomes Team Members from Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam. In all, more than 1,000 energetic Team Members participated in the event, where they trained with top medical practitioners, shared interesting ideas, and experienced Synergy’s latest products in this exciting 2-day event!
And for such a great event, it’s only
fitting to hold our regional summit in the most impressive Centara Grand at
Central World. As one of the largest hotel in the Asia Pacific, Centara Grand
is a 5-star hotel that offers excellent service and delicious feasts. The
center’s dynamic design was inspired by the unique shape of a “Blooming Lotus”
that combines the symbolic theme of the four elements of life: water, fire,
earth and air.
Such symbolic design aptly describes our progress, particularly in South East Asia: We bloomed with harmony in the midst of different cultures, languages, and religions. It created the most prefect atmosphere for our staff and Team Members world-wide, and this is what Synergy WorldWide calls a real network marketing!

Welcome Party
The summit kicked off on Friday evening with
a lavish and warm welcome ceremony where we greeted Team Members from all 6
countries up stage. Accompanied by their respective flag bearers, Team Members
were invited to walk up the stage with pride and glory, each representing rising
leaders of Synergy WorldWide. Looking on at the sea of crowd in the Convention
Hall, one cannot help but feel mesmerized and awed by the grandeur and majesty of
such momentous evening, knowing surely that Synergy WorldWide is steadily
growing stronger and confidently making its mark in South East Asia.

Synergy Worldwide executive management gave heartening words of encouragement to all Team Members, thanking them for the growth in the South East Asia region. President Dan Norman, Regional Controller Lawrence Choo, and General Managers Erwin Dumalang and Suphaphong Jantaraweeragul welcomed and encouraged Team Members to continuously strive for growth in Synergy WorldWide.
What ensued subsequently is a series of interesting programs installed specially for our Team Members—a series of entertainment by their fellow Team Members. Each country prepared unique and special performances to showcase our diversity. From Thailand, Pearl Executive Pavita Intasiri took the stage and performed “RUM CHUI CHAI PRAM”, a classical traditional royal dance in Thailand. The hall quickly turned into a deafening silence, with Team Members watching attentively as Pavita Intasiri strode gracefully across the stage while traditional Thai music played in the background.
Other performances include live acoustic and
vocal performance by Indonesia, vocal performance in Bahasa Indonesia, Thai,
Vietnamese and Tagalog by Singapore, TOM TOM ethnic dance by Vietnam, and to
mark the end of our special performances, a Thai Blessing Dance from Thailand.
Day 2
On the next Saturday morning, we brought in
a pool of international experts to train our Team Members. The day was packed
with rigorous training programs by product experts, doctor’s interview, motivational
speeches by top leaders, and new product launches.
Training
with International Experts
Session
1. Product training by Marketing Director Jenny Chen from Singapore: In line with the theme of our Regional
Summit “H.E.A.R.T.”, Team Members were introduced to a series of “heart
healthy” products, ranging from ProArgi-9 Plus, Omega-3 a.k.a. Fish Oil,
CoQ-10, Garlic and many more. We also introduced one of our latest products
launched – The Chlorophyll Soap.
Session
2. Doctor’s Interview with Dr. J. Joseph Prendergast: What does one give to meet with the famous Dr Joe? Well, anything. Team Members get
an up-close and personal encounter with Dr Joe himself during the 2 hour
interview session. Team Members learned much about ProArgi-9 Plus from Dr Joe
and they returned as more knowledgeable distributors.
Session 3. Business sharing by international
leaders: We had some
special guests from Korea- Double Presidential Executives Hwang Yoon Tae and
Hwang Han Tae. Sharing their inspirational stories with our Team
Members, the Hwang brothers inspired and motivated Team Members to
continuously strive for success in Synergy.
Presidential Executives Dr. Hardjanto Anggahusada and M. Rasyid from Indonesia also took the stage to encourage and share with Team Members their keys to achieving success. Both Dr. Harjanto and Rasyid told Team Members to be bold and follow their dreams to succeed.
Session 4. Health Sharing by Thai Boxer Buakew
Bunchamek: Thailand
Muay-Thai Boxing sensation, Buakew Bunchamek attended the summit
to share with our Team Members his secret to a healthy and fit body.
Buakew Bunchamek is a former Omnoi Stadium champion and two time
K1 champion who has been in the ring for almost 22 years.
Rising Stars: The Recognition Evening
And perhaps the
highlight of the day was the Recognition Evening. Team Members who achieved new
rank advancement were invited up the stage to receive their pins and awards.
The highest rank was delivered to Thailand’s Ponpavit Wongprasert who just
achieved the Emerald Executive rank in October. During this star-studded
evening, other honourable mentions include Pearl Exectives Pavita Intasiri,
Nutthapol Maleewat and
Ua-arri Tornueng from Thailand as well as William Goh from Singapore.
The summit ended
with a beautiful performance by Khun-In, Narongrid Torsa-nga’s most famous Thai
music performer. He played the “Ranat”, a type of wooden xylophone indigenous
to Thailand.
In all, the 2012
Regional Summit was a great success. Team Members returned with greater passion
and enthusiasm, to continue their Synergy journey, and to ultimately leave a
legacy.
