NOW WITH MORE CoQ10!

The Anti-Aging & Energy Formula from ViSalus Sciences has been proven in clinical tests to be revolutionary in its ability to enhance mitochondrial function and improve the efficiency of energy production in the body. This cutting-edge supplement was awarded a Government Patent on its merits  and on the results of these tests.

There is extensive scientific support that mitochondrial function declines with age, starting as early as our 20’s. A leading theory on aging, the mitochondrial clock theory, is based upon a gradual decline in mitochondrial function because of DNA damage from free radicals.

This patented product combines two mitochondrial metabolites and two mitochondrial respiratory chain precursors that enhance mitochondrial function. In animal and human studies, these metabolites increase mitochondrial functions, enhance energy production and counteract some of the biochemical reactions associated with aging.

Special Features:

Alpha lipoic acid, a key ingredient of this formula, serves to enhance mitochondrial function, support better hearing, and has been used as a therapeutic agent in liver and brain disorders.

Acetyl L-carnitine is a biological compound also found in the formula which stimulates antioxidant defenses.

Coenzyme Q10 and Glutathione are the other key ingredients that make this formula unique, helping to effectively battle free radicals on a cellular level. The ability to slow the process of aging on a cellular level is what sets this product apart from the rest and is the reason it has produced so many remarkable success stories.

Scientifically developed and patented formula slows cell aging

Supports increased memory and energy

Vi-pak® Anti-Aging and Energy Supplements are helping lead the way to healthier living.

ViSalus Vi-Shape® FAQ

1. What is unique about the Vi-Shape® Nutritional Shake mix?
There are so many unique benefits, and ingredients, so here are a few:
a. It tastes amazing. We call it the a. “Shake mix that tastes like a cake mix”. If you do a blind taste test vs. other shakes, you’ll see that many have either a gritty texture, can have a bitter or metallic after taste that lingers.
Other shakes can smell bitter, or like chemicals. Ours is different because of the unique, high quality ingredients that we use.
b. Our shake is lower in sodium, fat, and carbohydrates than other shakes. Many companies will use sodium to make the bland ingredients taste better, fat to make flavor carry, or add sugar to mask bitter notes. You can see from our comparison chart that we surpass the competition, due to our high quality.
c. Our shake is diabetic friendly. Many shakes use sugar, fructose, or other sweeteners that can spike blood sugar. This may result in low energy, hunger, and more. Ours has no added sugar, and is diabetic friendly.
d. We use 3 specially processed proteins. This provides fast, and long lasting hunger control, and can also help maintain lean muscle while targeting fat. Our shake has been specially processed to remove lactose, remove fat, remove carbohydrates, and remove isoflavones from the soy that can impact estrogen. Therefore, body builders, those sensitive to hormones can use our shake.
e. We include ingredients that other shakes don’t. We include digestive enzymes to help maximize protein absorption, prebiotics to support the bodies detox process and digestive health, vitamins, minerals, calcium, and more.
f. Affordability. There is simply no other shake that matches what we offer, for the price! By having a shake a day you can not only help fuel your body with powerful nutrients, but you can save money too.

2. What are the primary benefits of the Vi-Shape shake mix?
›› The shake mix provides complete nutrition – fast
›› Helps control appetite
›› Provides bone-healthy calcium
›› Provides heart healthy, low fat protein
›› Helps promote & maintain lean muscle mass
›› Supports protein digestion and nutrient absorption
›› Helps support healthy energy levels while cutting calories
›› Provides non-gassy fiber benefits for digestive health
›› Includes two unique fibers for health, and for hunger control
›› Supports a low glycemic lifestyle
›› Supports healthy metabolism
›› Gluten free. Lactose free. Low sodium, diabetic friendly. Low sugar. Tastes amazing!

3. How does the Shake help me lose or maintain weight?
The shake can help you lose, or maintain weight depending on how you use it. To lose weight, we recommend using it in place of 2 meals per day, along with sensible snacks (like the ViSalus Nutra-Cookie™), and meal. You can use it for any 2 meals. To maintain weight, we recommend that you have 1 shake per day, and ideally for breakfast.
Why is this?
Well, if we compare the shake blended with non-fat milk (or soy milk, rice milk , or almond milk) and fruit, the shake will provide 20-25 grams of protein, a full serving of fiber, calcium, prebiotics, digestive enzymes, vitamins, minerals, and more, all for around 240 calories. If we compare that to an ‘average’ breakfast of a bagel with cream cheese, small orange juice and coffee with non-fat milk, you can see we provide more nutrition for less calories. The ‘average’ breakfast can add up to around 720 calories, and a whopping 880mg of sodium. So by having a shake, you’ll fuel your body, help keep your blood sugar level, and save calories to help you keep the weight off. We also recommend it for those people that don’t eat breakfast (almost 40% of adults don’t eat breakfast). By not eating breakfast, the metabolism can slow and you may end up eating more calories per day while slowing the bodies’ fat burning system. Your body is like a car, it cannot run without fuel and it cannot be ‘trained’ to do without. So the shake once a day helps keep the metabolism going, keeps you energized, and helps cut calories. Twice a day and you’ll see greater results.

And we also recommend Vi-Slim® to help burn calories without jittery feelings or stimulants, and Vi-Trim® added to the shake to help keep hunger at bay. These two products add powerful added support and can be bought separately, or as part of the Body by Vi™ Transformation kit.

4. Can the shake help me gain weight?
Absolutely! For those who want to gain weight, or even add muscle, the Vi-Shape™ Nutritional Shake mix can help Simply add a shake as a beverage with any meal, or use between meals. For those who exercise, having a shake mixed in water within 30 minutes of finishing a workout will find that it may help the muscles recover easier.

5. Is it nutritionally sound? Is it safe?
The shake is nutritionally very sound, and based on incredible science. It is based on healthy nutrition, and getting the daily requirements your body needs to feel healthy. However, those who are pregnant or lactating, gastric bypass patients, ulcer patients, and anyone known to have a medical condition should consult a physician prior to taking this product or any nutritional supplement.

6. Can I use only water for the shake?
The shake was designed to mix in water as a healthy snack, for after a work out, or to be mixed in milk/soy milk as a healthy meal (milk and soy milk provide more protein, and more calories). The goal is to not cut too many calories, or the body can feel that it is in starvation mode and slow the metabolism further. The U.S. government recommends that we consume a minimum of 1,200 calories per day. So if you do use the shake mixed in water, you may want to use 3 scoops instead of 2, or make sure you have a Nutra-Cookie along with the shake mixed in water to provide adequate calories.

7. I’ve tried other shakes, and they don’t taste as good. Why is that?
Our formula uses the highest quality proteins available today, and we worked very hard to ensure it would taste great. This is because we believe in proper nutrition. It’s our company philosophy to make the best products we can.

8. Why soy protein? Does it impact estrogen?
Soy is an excellent source of protein that delivers healthy heart benefits. Regular consumption of soy has been linked to helping reduce c-reactive proteins in the body, which benefit a healthy heart. Our soy protein is non-GMO (non Genetically Modified). It has been specially processed to remove the isoflavones, which are the active compound in soy that can affect estrogen.

9. Who should take this product?
Anyone interested in losing or maintaining weight, or who want to balance their daily nutrition with a perfect meal. We encourage those on serious medications, women who are pregnant or lactating, or those who are not in good health to consult a physician before starting our program, or any weight management program or nutritional supplement. The shake (with your doctor’s permission) is safe to use 1 scoop for children 4-12 for additional protein.

10. Why are the proteins unique?
Our proteins are high quality, concentrated forms of nutritional protein. They have been specially processed to remove fat, remove lactose, and remove carbohydrates. We also removed the isoflavones from the soy, to alleviate estrogenic activity concerns. This special processing leaves a purely great–tasting shake mix. This is why we call it “the shake mix that tastes like cake mix.™”

11. How many can I drink or use per day?
We recommend 1–2 servings per day of each product. However, you can take up to 3 packets of the Vi-Trim®, and you can use the shake for all meals if you desire. We recommend no more than 4 tablets of the Vi-Slim® per day.

12. Why artificial sweeteners?
To control calories, and the impact of sugar on glucose levels, we chose to use sweeteners. Many overweight people are diabetic, or borderline diabetic, and we did not want to have a product that they could not use. There is a lot of misinformation out on the internet about sweeteners, and there is no ‘perfect’ sweetener that can meet everyone’s needs. For example, xylitol and other sugar alcohols can cause diarrhea in up to 20% of the population, so it is not an ideal sweetener to us. Stevia has only recently been approved in the U.S., but is still pending global approvals. It can impart a bitter or licorice after taste that some people do not like. Agave has fructose, which can impact hunger. Sugar can impact blood sugar and impact tooth health. Aspartame is a sweetener that causes concerns for some people, as when it is heated it can degrade. We do not use those sweeteners. We use sucralose, which has been approved globally in over 60 countries, and has passed rigid approval processes for safety. It can be used hot or cold.

13. Why one flavor?
Our Sweet Cream flavor was designed to be mixed with fruit, yogurt, juice, or even into oatmeal if you want to add more protein to your diet! We also have our Shape-Up™ Health Flavors Mix-Ins, to help add flavor and nutritional benefits to the shake. Other companies may make you buy multiple canisters of product, which just sits there on your counter. We wanted to help control costs, and add fun to your day with our Health Flavors. Be sure to look in our program guide for many recipes to create nutritious and flavorful shakes! Or, add in our Health Flavors, use one, or create your own mixture of 2 or more for on the go variety.

14. Why a shake powder mix, and not ready to drink in a can?
The powder provides the best opportunity for you to mix it as you like, into non-fat milk, flavored or plain soy milk, low fat/low sugar yogurts, cottage cheese, or water.

February 17th, 2010

Purdy will work primarily from the company’s Beverly Hills office, where his focus will be enhancing the Customer and Distributor experience and improving operational efficiency in all aspects of the company.

“The ViSalus mission is to impact millions of people around the world through our Body By Vi 90 Day Challenge,” said ViSalus CEO Ryan Blair. “Adding John Purdy to the executive team is a monumental step in our global ambitions.”

The ViSalus Community will have its first opportunity to meet its new President and COO when Purdy is introduced at ViSalus Academy, the company’s national training event taking place March 12th-14th in Denver, Colorado.

“I am very excited about the ViSalus opportunity, and having met some of our leaders in the field already, I know that their passion for this company and our products is true of their teams as well,” said Purdy. “I can’t wait to experience the fun and excitement of a ViSalus national event first hand.

NEW! ViSalus Sciences Faith-Based Initiative

Originally Posted on Monday August 31, 2009 on Vi-Net

David Colister here, Vice President of Field Operations and Overseer of the ViSalus Sciences Faith-Based Initiative. Recently, the company commissioned me to help distributors reach and work with the faith-based community, particularly leaders of churches, missions, authors, etc. I want to make some resources immediately available to you that will dramatically increase your impact on the health of Americans, as well as impact your personal income by working closely with, and funding, ministries.

If you know ministers (pastors, teachers, authors, missionaries, etc.) we want to  help you create a healthy and profitable ViSalus relationship with that minister. In the U.S., the faith-based community is the proven leader in terms of market penetration for networkers.

Relating our products and opportunity to those in the ministry requires a marketing different approach than those used for other types of prospective customers and/or distributors. Optimizing a ministry’s customer and distributor acquisition also requires (for IRS and other considerations) a different administrative process for the distributor and ministry.

We are rapidly creating resources for your use in marketing to and servicing ministries. Below are some resources already available:

FAITH-BASED INITIATIVE RESOURCES:
………

$49 BASIC DISTRIBUTOR ENROLLMENT FEE WAIVED
Any ordained or licensed (usually support personnel are licensed, not ordained) minister may take advantage of this free Basic Enrollment. There is currently no online process for this. Simply have the minister complete the distributor application in full (minus payment information) and fax it to the number at the top of the application (877-547-1570). In order for this to be properly processed, please include at the top of the application “Attn: Zorica, Faith-Based Initiative”. The minister will also need to include a copy of his or her ordination or ministry license with the fax.
………

FAITH-BASED INITIATIVE 24/7 RECORDED SIZZLE LINE:

This is a 24-hour-a-day recorded message designed to introduce the heart and mission of the ViSalus Faith-Based Initiative to someone in the ministry (pastor, ministry staff, etc.). Simply 3-way or have the minister (or interested party) call the number and give the Access Code (below) and pount sign “#” when prompted:

FAITH-BASED INITIATIVE TRAINING CALL
This training call is for ViSalus distributors (ONLY) who want to master the art and science of engaging ministers and ministries for ViSalus. Talk about highly-influential people! The median size of a congregation is approximately 100 members. So the warm market of pastors is almost 10 times the size of the average person.

Is Network Marketing Really That Difficult?

November 17th, 2009

I was sent this email earlier today that I had to share with you…

The following article is an excerpt from a speech given by a direct seller at a local meeting.  We are told she was asked to speak on how direct sales/network marketing compares to working a “regular” job.  It was submitted to us, and although the original author is unknown, we wish to thank her for her thoughts and insights.  We have forwarded it to share with you as you embark on a brand new opportunity to count the many blessings we have in this business.

Is Network Marketing Difficult?

Lately, I have heard so many people say how difficult direct sales/network marketing is.  “It’s hard.”  “I can’t get bookings.”  “This just isn’t for me.”  “I didn’t know how difficult it would be.”

Well, I am a single mom of three who, before joining the direct sales/network marketing family, held down two jobs.  I would get up at 4:00 in the morning and not get to bed until midnight most nights, after returning from my part-time retail job, packing lunches, checking homework and relieving my mother, who helped out with the kids.

That, my friends, is difficult.

It is difficult always having to lower your dreams to meet your means.  It is difficult to miss your son’s football game because you have to work.  It is difficult knowing the rust bucket you call a car is eating you alive in maintenance, but you can’t afford a new one.  It is difficult to realize that someone else is going to watch your daughter take her first step or have your son say mama to the preschool teacher.

It is difficult knowing that you have spent 40 years of your life working for someone else, only to realize that you will be retiring on one-third of what you can live on today.  Or, worse yet, it is difficult knowing that you have diligently worked all your life, only to be given an early retirement and be replaced by someone younger, more capable.

I will tell you what is difficult.  It is difficult waking up one morning and realizing that your children, the most precious things imaginable, no longer need bottles, diapers, have tea parties, or are shorter than the baseball bat they are trying to swing.  It is difficult realizing it is too late and that the time frittered away can never be retrieved.  It slips through our fingers one second at a time.

It is also difficult watching the spark in your partner’s eyes fade because both of you realize the house you have been wanting is just a dream because someone else is controlling your finances.

We have nasty habits about rationalizing, procrastination and skirting important things, rather than facing the issues.  Too often we allow others who do not pay our bills, who do not share our dreams, to direct our futures.

As children we have absolutely no freedom; we rebel in our teens and scream for freedom.  We reach adulthood and are finally free, only to relinquish that freedom because we think it is too difficult.  We do not want to take responsibility.  We do not want to make a wrong decision, so we obligingly give that awesome power to someone else.  We wake up too late.  We hear ourselves uttering phrases like: “I wish I had only…”  And “If I could do it over again…”

You have no one but yourself to blame.  You had the chance.  Perhaps the Opportunity was presented many times and each time you elevated the trivial to a higher priority than yourself.

Let me ask you:  Is direct sales/network marketing really difficult?

Is it so traumatic to show someone an exciting product or idea?  Is it so difficult to understand that if you work this marketing idea for three to five years, you just might finally be able to send your children to a college chosen by excellence, rather than one chosen by price?  That you could finally put your family in the home of their dreams?

Would you work really hard for eight to ten years, so you could mold a lifestyle of your choosing, so your family could live a lifestyle of their dreams, rather than trying to live how someone else thinks you should live?

How difficult is it to pick up the phone and call your business partner?  How difficult is it to pack up your kit and meet some new friends?  How difficult is it, really, to share what you love with others?  Think about it.

Realize the awesome power you have in your hands with direct sales/network marketing.  There are people out there working three jobs.  There are people drowning in debt; or agonizing through bankruptcy, realizing they only needed a couple hundred more dollars per month.  That is difficult!!

This business you have chosen has the ability to change lives.  Direct sales/network marketing cannot do anything.  But YOU can change lives with it.  You are the one with the life-changing ability.  What are you waiting for?

There is difficulty and pain in success, and there is difficulty and pain in failure.  Difficulty and pain in success will last a short period of time but pain in failure lasts a lifetime.  Which one is really more difficult?

You will pay a price for your actions and your choices.

Which choice will you make?
