First of all, I'd like to let you know that 4 years after Agel's begin, it's still going strong! Second of all, if you'd like to purchase vitamins and minerals elsewhere, go ahead. They probably are cheaper. The reason why they are expensive at Agel is because it's an MLM. Where else is the money they pay out each month supposed to come from? It's the same way in any other great network marketing business. Agel's compensation plan is the best out there on the market right now. I challenge you to show me a better one. The Leverage Matching Bonus that Agel has is unbeatable! Sure, you can live off of Enrollment Bonuses anywhere else but up to 50% on your first generations team volume and up to 7% on all other generations up to the 7th? That's what I call residual income! It seems to work for a lot of Agel Team Members, sorry it wouldn't work out for you. Oh, and p.s. the 20% you get off of your team's volume at Usana is also dependent on your downline being rockstars and not just you. Agel is interested in richly rewarding those who work hard. We have several distributors who are making over $75,000 a month! I also see, however, many new distributors earn quite a bit of money in their first months. As for the products, don't knock 'em til you've tried 'em. I take the Agel products every day and know that they help me. It's true that they're not pharmaceutical grade, because if they were, they would be considered medicine. Then they wouldn't be nutritional supplements anymore. As for the sweetener in the Agel products, they no longer contain Neotame. They now use the natural sweetener, fructose. And to say that the products are heavily preserved with sodium benzoate would be a little exaggeration. If you really want to know, each packet contains 3mg of Sodium Benzoate, which is .01411% of the content of that packet. Just enough to preserve it, but not enough to cause any problems. This is also the same preservative used in soda pop, but in much smaller quantities. As for the Vitamin C-Benzene scare, Agel has had MIN tested for this and no traces of Benzene have been found. No other products contain Vitamin C. If you're wondering why Randy Gage came out of retirement because of what he saw in the Agel opportunity, go to YouTube and check it out.

It obvious that you are trying to promote the MLM company that you are in. It's all very well to announce that you have gone through all the literatures to show you have done your research. However, all you have shown is that you have examined the information with the pure intention to rip it apart. Unfortunately, the only person who will loose out is you, because you did not examine the information rationally. (Otherwise you would have jumped ship just like many of the rest who did examine the information rationally, and dispite their success in their company) Please don't blame anyone else when your Agel friends realised their dreams while you are still trying to bash the rest of the MLM company other than your own... and soon you will end up bashing the whole industry when you also fail at your present company. I really hope not... give yourself another chance and look at the opportunity rationally and take the bold step to be a leader.

I have not had the get rich quick success with Agel that many have had thus far. However, I know exactly why! I am at fault, not the business. One thing that must be remembered about this business, and other network marketing businesses, is the only real contributing factor to your success with this type of business is you! Your efforts, determination, devotion, and input are what defines your bottom line. In my case, I was pre-occupied with starting a new career and moving and didnt allocate the proper time and attention to Agel. If you dont have a strong and supportive upline that doesnt mean you can be successful. Besides, if your organized enough to keep your receipts and know your tax benefits when it comes to a small business, then you can almost entirely absorb your losses, if any, through your taxes legitimately. Im not suggesting embelishment, but rather diligent organization and research. I also suggest making an appointment with a Chartered accountant, and dont worry if its expensive...its a business expense! Keep your receipt(s)! Justin

I've been a travel nurse for the past 5 years and so the concept of gel-suspension technology was easy to understand! It's an incredible way to instantly assimilate all the nutrients my body needs, and they taste GREAT! My three-year-old son used to get constant ear infections related to his meteor-like tonsils, and the doctor told us that we needed to consider putting tubes in his ears. Instead of putting him under a possibly dangerous medical procedure, we started him on the UMI everyday along with his EXO and MIN. He hasn't had an ear infection in almost a year, and hasn't even been sick! The kicker: he's around sick children all the time because he's in preschool! Regarding the lab results that the original post stated, none of the ingredients are a brand new invention, but the delivery system is! It seems as though the person that posted this complaint is a distributor for another company, and is taking part in a smear campaign. I am a supporter for the entire Network Marketing Industry, and I would never bash a company out of fear or jealousy, but I have to say that I have experienced great success with my income and so have many of the distributors that I sponsored. The great thing about the Agel compensation plan is that you can sponsor as many people as you want, but you only have two legs to put them in. So, I put my parents at the top of my legs along with many of my family members, and then everybody else went underneath. I am truly in business for myself, not by myself. Finally, it's a shame when people who are uneducated about what they are talking about, make false claims. Also, it's immoral for them to spread falsehoods as a form of mudslinging to get people to look at their company. The results speak for themselves. There's a reason why the Attorney General spoke at the Agel World Conference in support of and congratulating Agel Enterprises!

Hello, I had been with Agel and well......made no money. Went to all of the HooRAHRAH meetings. Been on all of the conference calls. There was one question I asked my upline and corporate that they couldn't or wouldn't answer. I did get a canned response from one of my upline members. I asked them what is the ORAC value of one of their products. I then asked them if it was tested in a lab. No repsonse. If anyone knows about nutrition, they should know about ORAC and S-ORAC. Basically I received a cold shoulder from corporate and my upline. ***In fact my one upline leader dropped out as well. His reasoning for dropping out? Other people stealing other people from other downlines. Much success to all! Steve
