Amway nutritionals compared to Shakeology without the science

I was checking out amways line of nutritionals at the request of a friend and discovered all of them have artificial ingredients while  amway touts "best of nature best of science" in their campaign ads. Science maybe but certainly not nature. Put your mind and body on an all nature nutritional plan and see, watch, experience, FEEL how your mind and body turns on in amazing ways for you. It really is something incredible.


Amways nutritionals is under the name brand Nutrilite. I visited their like page on facebook and asked, "Why are there sulfates and other artificial ingredients in the line of nutrilite products? What's the thinking behind that? Thanks"


Four days later their customer service department got back to me with the following:

"Whenever possible we use natural and naturally-sourced ingredients to deliver "the Best of Nature". This includes adding no artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives to our products. However, we also formulate to deliver the "Best of Science" which includes delivering nutrients at levels demonstrated by science to offer health benefits. In some instances, it is not possible to deliver scientifically substantiated levels of nutrients using only natural sources in dosage forms that would be acceptable to consumers. NUTRILITE products are based on the best that nature offers while also delivering the best of science that may include the use of synthetically-derived nutrients."


My favorite part is the part I put in bold and underlined. It's my favorite for two reasons:


1. It shows their lack of integrity. If it were acceptable to consumers would they put pig fat in their nutritionals? When beachbody formulated Shakeology they made the hard unpopular decisions to keep it all natural. In fact they have been working for years to come up with an all natural vanilla flavor. The founder of beachbody, Carl Daikelar, literally said this to us, "Either we will find a way to make an all natural vanilla or their just won't be vanilla, period" THAT's INTEGRITY!!!!  It was met with a roaring cheer because that kind of honesty and heart is such a refreshing breath of fresh air.  People with a dream who are willing to pay the price for that dream don't want to hear a suit catering to popular opinion with a lame cookie cutter line. Amway would have bent over backwards for the wrong consumers and chalked it full of junk.


2. It's simply not true! Amway did not do their homework they took short cuts and put junk in their entire line of nutritionals. Amway is a business opportunity first which means the product fits around the business. With beachbody it's a fitness first deal. The Beachbody businss opportunity didnt even exist til NINE YEARS LATER! The Beachbody business is centered around the life changing products. With shakeology Beachbody did their homework. Beachbody spent TWO YEARS just formulating the flavor to keep it all natural and tasting wonderful. THAT'S DEDICATION!!! And guess what?  That kind of dedication is being felt around the country and soon around the world in the tear jerker success stories of Shakeology users.


I appreciate the response from Amway to my question. It's just not a philosophy supportive of optimum health and wellness. It makes me all the more proud to be involved with Team Beachbody.  If you are willing to pay the price to achieve your dreams you are going to be a happier, healthier, more fulfilled human being than the person always looking for the shortcuts.  The beautiful thing about Shakeology, among other things, is that shakeology doesn't require any discipline.  A seven year old boy explained it perfectly to me the other day.  He said, "Shakeology tastes like chocolate only it's better than chocolate".... Hello?!?!  No discipline required whatsoever to get up every morning and drink a tall glass of chocolate awesomeness.  And then the rest of my day is amazing because I just put the best nutrients possible into my body free of any garbage so my body really comes to life for an amazing day every day. 

If this turns you on, getting your desert on every day for optimum health with a glass of shakeology every day, turn to your Team Beachbody coach and say to him or her, "I want my glass of chocolate awesomeness every day show me how to get started!"  and I'm sure your coach will be more that happy to give you the hook up :-)  If you don't have a coach I'll be your coach just let me know.

Be awesome!

p.s.  Ohhhhhhh yeah shakeology is also available in Greenberry for you weird non chocolate lovers :-)
