Hi, Mike. Welcome to Quatloos.
No, but they're not hard to figure out. It's yet another "wellness" MLM. Like all the others, since they can't make any specific health claims, they do
the following dance:
ARE YOU SICK? Do you have chronic symptoms related to abnormal cholesterol, insulin, respiratory, coronary, circulatory and/or immune function? Is stress, attention deficit, or depression symptoms affecting your family? Do fatigue, mood swings and lack of focus and concentration affect your life?
Note that they don't follow these questions with any claims that their particular oil of snake will do anything for these conditions, because there is no proof that it will. Actually making such a claim could get them shut down. They just want you to think so.
The compensation schedule posted on their web site is hard to figure out
Just like all of them. These guys want to make it really hard to figure out that only those at the top of the pyramid will make more than peanuts.
and the products seem way overpriced.
No kidding. $40 for 200 ml (6.5 oz) of fish oil? If you want omega-3 from "deep sea shark" oil, go to GNC and get
6 oz for $13 (or $10 if you have a "gold card", whatever that is). And, if you're willing to get the same thing from cod liver oil (as Stinky says), you can buy it by the gallon for this price.
They do have some big name celebrities like William Shatner hyping their products but this does not really prove anything.
Right. They paid bloated old Captain Kirk a few bucks to shill for them. There's proof for ya.
Again they do seem like good products
Omega-3 fatty acids do have health benefits. But a healthy diet supplies what you need, or the equivalent. And, if you want the stuff in a bottle, it's available at a small fraction of their prices.
but would people really be willing to pay those prices?
Only in one of two situations: (1) an IQ below room temperature, or (2) dollar signs in the eyes from the promises of untold riches from recruiting a downline. The two overlap.
