Company CSO Announces Plans for Labs, Clinics and Trials
Last night, Dr. Matthew Tripp, Chief Scientific Officer of Synergy/NSP, spoke to a large number of listeners on this month’s Cardio Call. Dr. Tripp had some important and fascinating things to say about our company’s research and development plans and our mission to reverse chronic disease. Here are a few of the highlights:
“After meeting with the top management of the [Synergy/NSP], what I recognized was that their vision and my passion are very well aligned. My passion is to make a difference in the world. You might call it a personal mission, if you will. It’s not religion based, it’s just seeing a great level of chronic illness in the world and asking ‘how can I make a difference’ and ‘how can we work together.’ That’s what impressed me about the folks at Synergy and Nature’s Sunshine. They cared very much. They wanted to leverage what they had to do bigger, better things.”
“We are building a molecular and cellular biology lab for discovery, a chemistry lab and a clinic. We’ll be running human clinical trials on our discoveries and also on many of our fine products to demonstrate their clinical efficacy. We’ll have state-of-the-art instrumentation. We’ll be developing our own intellectual property. It’s a full blown discovery and development project.”

ABOUT THE EXPERT Dr. Matthew Tripp received a Ph.D. from Washington State University in Physiology/Microbial Genetics/Microbiology; an M.A. in Microbial Physiology/Bacterial Genetics and a B.S. in Biology both from Western Michigan University. He completed extensive post-doctoral research at the University of California – San Diego where he discovered novel protein phosphorylation cascades involved in nutrient signaling (nutrigenomics) – processes that when disrupted by poor diet, lead to metabolic disease and chronic illness.
His career includes leadership roles and R&D responsibilities at the Kellogg Company, the Miller Brewing Company and Metagenics. He served as the Vice President of Research and Development at Metagenics, a leading developer, manufacturer and distributor of high quality dietary supplements and medical foods sold through health care practitioners in the U.S. and pharmacies abroad. He also concurrently served as Senior Vice President, Research and Development, at KinDex Therapeutics, a biotechnology company.
At Metagenics, Dr. Tripp had direct responsibility for managing the discovery, development, safety, and clinical validation of medical foods and nutraceuticals. Significantly, he led the creation of a substantial body of proprietary intellectual property, resulting in over 100 patents and patent applications.
Now, at Nature’s Sunshine Products, the parent company of Synergy WorldWide, Dr. Tripp serves as the Chief Scientific Officer. His responsibilities include working to oversee the company’s product research and development operations. Furthermore, he plays a critical role in clearly defining, developing and communicating the Company’s science strategy and vision to achieve higher organic growth and profitability through innovation.

TIPS
The Health Shake is a Meal Replacement. That means you should not have a shake along with other foods at any given mealtime, you should have it instead of breakfast and/or lunch.
For best results, avoid snacking on anything besides raw vegetables.
Enjoy a healthy dinner every night!
For best results, stay far away from non-essential foods like these throughout the day:
Salty snacks (chips, french fries, crackers, etc.)
Many say that Health Shake is tastiest when mixed with milk. The extra calories from milk may also increase satiety. But feel free to mix it with water, almond milk, or whatever is most convenient! You decide what’s best!
Want to try a new flavor? Mix in a small handful of your favorite raw fruits. Berries are a great choice!
It never hurts to exercise. Big results can be achieved simply from 30 minutes a day, five days a week.

Many people do not get adequate protein on a regular basis. Additionally, many people simply don’t realize the importance of increasing their protein intake while trying to lose weight— but they should!
PROTEIN: PACKED WITH POWER
Protein helps fuel the body all day long and provides muscles with amino acids—building blocks that are needed for important muscle growth and repair. Check out these other essential protein functions:
• Proteins are key components of antibodies, digestive enzymes, hormones, blood (hemoglobin), fingernails and hair—most things you can’t live without!
• Proteins control muscle movement, from simple, restful breathing to slam-dunking a basketball. • Proteins help cells communicate with each other.
• Increasing protein intake can help build muscle mass, which leads to a faster metabolism—the rate at which your body burns fuel for energy.
DID YOU KNOW?
Our delicious SLMsmart Health Shake provides three different types of protein for a balanced, more satisfying meal replacement!
•Whey protein breaks down quickly and speeds amino acids to the muscles, aiding faster recovery after exercise or stretching. Whey also contains higher amounts of the amino acid leucine, which helps stimulate protein synthesis.
•Soy is considered a medium-release protein. It takes a little bit longer to break down soy into those building blocks.
•Casein, a dairy protein, is the most complex of the three. It is digested more slowly and provides a slower but steady supply of amino acids to the body via the bloodstream. Since it stays in the digestive system the longest, casein adds to a welcome feeling of fullness and satisfaction.
Each serving of our delicious SLMsmart Health Shake provides 26 grams of our pure protein blend to nourish your body and stave off hunger. Enjoy complete meal replacement and feel full for up to four hours!
