Regardless of which, MLM's are PYRAMID SCHEMES. Yes, some people do get wealthy with MLM, but these are the selected few who capitalize on selling motivational tapes, run seminars, etc. What you have to understand, is that in the concept of MLM, to be successful, thousands of people below your "downline" are not going to be. It is a perpetual system, for one to win, many will lose. Entiendes?

I don't like the whole MLM Idea of Usana. However, I do use the product and I swear by it. Their shit is pretty damn amazing.

Do some basic research on vitamins in general; with proper diet, little to no supplementation is needed. Yes USANA's "essentials" vitamins have been rated very high in terms of density, but your body only actually benefits from a very small percentage of its deprived vitamins. 4000% B9 vitamin looks fantastic, however, is futile. I had some good friends get caught up in the USANA "family", which is why I have some light to shed on the subject. Trust me, USANA, or any MLM for that matter should be avoided. You don't have to take my word for it, go right ahead and waste the next 3 years of your life finding out for yourself.

I would say little to no supps are ok for the average sedentary individual, but for those who are very active, like myself, need supps to fill in the nutritional gaps. Unless you have all day to cook and eat all your fruits and veggies.

Why do you say it's a scheme? Have you personally been involved with USANA? If not, how can you claim it to be a scheme?

I have been a competitive power lifter and this product is good but very expensive for its class MLM is great business for those that understand recruiting for those that doent have fun most people dont stick arround long enough to learn recruiting MLM set up a little iffy even for me. I preffer direct marketing because its just a hybrid of the agency system like remax uses. I cant stand people with a closed mind i have a standard business that imports rough diamonds and Gold, I also have a division that leases large sums of money in forms of stand by letters of credit. I also have direct marketing business mind you its in the financial industry which is set up in the agency system anyways. But the tools i have learned there have made me extremely succesfull in both business. Ignorance is not Bliss in business its costly MLM and Direct Marketing are exploding right now. Wasnt it back in the 60-and 70s when francise where concidered scams and people talked about them the same way, how do most those people feel now when they could have baught a Mc donalds Francise for only $400 back then.

I always find most bashers struggle in the normal businesses to most succesful people have good things to say about MLM and Direct Marketing

I have nothing but good things to say about USANA Health Sciences. I have been taking their products for over a year now and haven't found any of them to disappoint. I use their body wash, shampoo and conditioner, face wash, mask, protein powders, nutrition bars, energy drink and their vitamins. I was introduced first as a customer, but was so impressed that I started building a side business with USANA. In fact, it's the only company that my main business, "Rich Grads" was able to score a 10 out of 10 for our ranking criteria for what makes up a great network marketing company.

I have a f*ree guided video tour available that explains the whole opportunity and company if anyone is interested. It is also a great demonstration of the marketing system that I provide to members of our Rich Grads Team.

The site tour is located here: Health & Freedom : Two Steps to Financial Freedom!

Cheers!

i think what annoys me most about people who look at MLMs and call it a pyramid scheme because only the people at the top make most of the money is their ignorance. in any company/business you will EVER work for, the company is build in a pyramid style fashion. everyone at the top of every business makes most of the money and everyone at the bottom of every and any business makes much less. people who say otherwise have no business in business

I totally agree DrinkAcai. I don't know if you have seen Network Marketing expert, Tim Sales deal with this issue directly, but here is a link to his video on it that I have on my website. He deals with this issue straight on. It's really an excellent rebuttal.
