For me this is kinda old news cause I had heard of it the
investigation months ago. It may not be for others.

You may have heard the stat that Nu Skin rejects 70% of the materials
proffered to them. I don't think (but don't know) that this is
"reject at the receiving dock" number. I suspect it is that samples
are sent in and Nu Skin goes "No thanks" to a great many of the
samples and the materials they were sampled from. That material goes
"somewhere" to someone who "uses it.".

With no governmental inspection (Remember there is no free lunch and
those inspectors expect to get paid. One of the reasons that drugs
cost what they do.) it comes down to the consumer to check
(Bwhaahaahaaa How many consumers even know where to start. I am not
sure that I would KNOW. I might have clues but would not feel
confident.) that they are getting what they expect, or have faith and
belief in the company making them.

This is where the Nu Skin 6S process comes into play. There is a LOT
of checking going on at many levels. (See the "No thanks" comment.)
They make and check the products we get from them, to pharmaceutical
standards. Remember that Joe Chang came out of that world, and he did
not drop the "purity" and "it has what it says it has in it." ball
when he joined Nu Skin. (It having what it says it has in it also
allows us to say that "this study by others" confirms what we are
claiming. We KNOW that we have the types and quantities that were
used those studies in our products.)

All those Gas Chromatograph Mass Spectrometers (GCMS)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_chromatography%E2%80%93mass_spectrometry
that Nu Skin has in the new Research Center come into play checking
that what is supposed to be in there is in there and what should NOT
be in there is not in there.

If you use that news article, have the Nu Skin 6S process description
with you too. Or include a link to it.

That should give you enough links to work with...

Go forth with confidence that the Nu Skin products contain what they
say they have them, and the Nu Skin claims are SUBSTANTIATED. Now
other folks... Investigations by others are not reassuring.
