Statistically an ite...Here is my business analysis,<br />Statistically an item's production cost is approximately 20% of its retail value.<br />An item that sells for $6.00, base on the business model cost $1.20 to manufacture ($6.00 x .20 = $1.20).<br />The other 80% goes to the distribution chain and the majority of the 80% goes to the retailer, for the retailer has the biggest operating cost and investors to satisfy, specially if a public company.<br />From the $1.20, the manufacturer has to purchase raw material, pay factory employees, and cover overhead expenses. This lends to the question, "What kind of quality can the manufacturer achieve with a fraction of $1.20?", because not all the $1.20 went to production. <br />I guess that may be the source of the saying, "you get what you pay for".Raulnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-613883171468748015.post-18011732113971298252017-04-16T13:38:49.132-07:002017-04-16T13:38:49.132-07:00Facts based on research not search, because anyone...<br />Facts based on research not search, because anyone can search in google, but it takes a little time to do adequate research.<br />For those not familiar with NSF,<br />NSF International - A leading third-party independent test lab that validates the claims made by a manufacturer regarding a product.

Therefore, the quality of the product and what is on the label is based on the honor system. Of course, unless you have an independent lab test your product and validate its content.<br />As far as determining true efficacy of a product, it can only be ascertain by doing blood test pre-vitamin intake and post-vitamin after an appropriate period of time. The blood test will provide you with a macro view of taking the vitamin by offering levels of specific elements. The true effect would have to be studied at the micro-cellular level, and it would require to look at the red blood cells (RBC) thru an electron microscope working in their natural environment in the production of enzymes from the amino acids, building blocks of life. Therefore, a less invasive approach of the effect of the vitamin is by testimony. How energy levels changed, appearance of skin, frequency or lack off of acquiring illnesses, etc. We know that overall health is directly related to the health of the cells in the body. <br /><br />I leave you with an article from the New Your Times in an investigation conducted by the NY States Attorney office in 2015. Keep in mind the investigation only took a sample of the total vitamins supplied by these companies.<br /><br />New York Attorney General Targets Supplements at Major Retailers<br />By ANAHAD O'CONNOR FEBRUARY 3, 2015 12:00 AM<br /><br />Below is excerpt from article. Recommend reading the full article for it will be an eye opening.<br />---------------------------------------------- <br />Among the attorney general’s findings was a popular store brand of ginseng pills at Walgreens, promoted for “physical endurance and vitality,” that contained only powdered garlic and rice. At Walmart, the authorities found that its ginkgo biloba, a Chinese plant promoted as a memory enhancer, contained little more than powdered radish, houseplants and wheat — despite a claim on the label that the product was wheat- and gluten-free.<br />Three out of six herbal products at Target — ginkgo biloba, St. John’s wort and valerian root, a sleep aid — tested negative for the herbs on their labels. But they did contain powdered rice, beans, peas and wild carrots. And at GNC, the agency said, it found pills with unlisted ingredients used as fillers, like powdered legumes, the class of plants that includes peanuts and soybeans, a hazard for people with allergies.~Raulnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-613883171468748015.post-80315642827299655482017-03-10T13:34:21.095-08:002017-03-10T13:34:21.095-08:00There are diamonds out there with no degree and no...There are diamonds out there with no degree and no education. People who don't build aren't successful. College doesn't work for everyone either. Some people make it, some people don't. Success doesn't come without hard work, in any arena, any business. Over 1000 teams play for Amway, just like there are 32 for the NFL. It sounds like this team was like playing for the browns. It doesn't mean the NFL sucks. And if Amway was such a scam, then why would the federal trade commission deem it legal, yet shut down Veema? Why was a co-founder elected to the US chamber of commerce? Why was his SON then elected into that same position twice? If it's so legal, why is there a board room dedicated to Amway at the chamber of commerce? Why has the federal trade commission compared every business model similar to Amway's TO amways model? It's only the legal standard. And your uncles cousins best friends sisters dog didn't succeed, so it must be a scam? Please... do your research. Don't take it from one person without the right work ethic to change your mind. Fact check, thanks. The company has been around for almost 60 years, it's legal and not a scam.

You have got to be kidding!!! If these brands and others are so very good and there seem to be so many of them that you think rival or better Double X then why in hell do the takers of these vitamins look ancient and resemble varying forms of walking death. Want to see if certain vitamins work? Hang out with the buyers...find out what they buy and take and how long they have been doing so. Then take a look at their current health and for that matter check out the current look of health on the folks who work at so called vitamin/supplement/health food stores. The proof is in the pudding and I will put myself and my wife up against anyone's product. We are living proof of the possibilities of Amway Double X!!! Double X is a Ferrari.

The fact is double x is still one of the only majority plant based supplements on the market. The other point is since the food chain is now being depleted and devitalised with pesticides, herbicides and GM additives, a person cannot easily gain proper nutrition from plants. In USA an estimate of 50% of vegetable matter has some form of contamination or GM tampering. If you want studies they are not hard to find many labs want to try debunk some of nutrilite claims with little or no success. The FDA no longer protects the food chain. The EU tries to and so overseas formulations are different to match the legal ity in the country of sale.

Before that I had been undisciplined about it so wanted to see what happened if I did it as it was meant to be done. I managed to do this for a year. After several months I started noticing my moods were more level than in the past, my hair was thicker, my energy level was consistent. I was impressed. I quite taking them just because at the time it became more difficult to come up with the cost each month. I'm considering starting again because I feel it would make a big difference for my health now that I'm older. I'm not a member, in case you are wondering.
