Isagenix (Chandler, AZ) has been testing out its new site and we have been playing around with it for a few weeks now.  The new design is much easier to navigate, brighter and contains a lot more information than the previous one - or so it seems.

The company, which continues to improve both its branding and product line, has been taking more and more agressive steps towards growing the business. 

The real push into weight loss and weithg management has been met with a lot of success by many people.  Their IsaBody Challenge attracted over 2,200 people last year and this year it is expected to be over 4,000! 

The biggest draw by far to the Isagenix program has been the chocolate supplements, IsaDelight.  We are still waiting to get our hands on some of these to try them out since a few of our staff are chocoholics so when we do, we will give you the lowdown.

 Kara Vita will be launching two new products in their ever expanding product line.  The two new products are part of a new line called “Up Tight”. 

The new line is designed to give the look of Botox or other like surgical treatments without the surgery.  A pretty bold statement but the company does promise that you will see surgical-like results from their Firming Peptide Complex ($89.00 for 1 oz.) and also Firming Peptide Cream ($89.00 for 1 oz.). This new product is powered with Lyphazome which is a typically used with helping to hydrate skin.  The company actually guarantees “firmer, younger, brighter looking skin in just days”.  Seems worth a shot to me.

Both products will be available starting May 1, 2008.

Just a little note on the Kara Vita Guarantee….we have looked into this because there are so many companies that make guarantees and dont actually stand by them.  Kara Vita states (and actually stands by) their guarantee which states “If you purchase and consistently use any Kara Vita product and find that you do not see an improvement to your skin within the first 30 days, we’ll replace the product with one that better meets your needs or refund your payment. “

CoreVital (American Fork, Utah) announced that after a year filled with a company re-organization, new hires, and an attempt at restructuring the company, including adding new products, they have closed its doors. The nutraceutical and health supplement company was not able to maintain growth and adapt to the growing market of nutraceutical products and multi-million dollar companies that have sprung up lately.  All CoreVital websites have been replaced with a final message from Eugene Skinner, founder of the company:

CoreVitál Distributors and Customers:

As you have seen in recent days we have regretfully posted the announcement of closure for CoreVitál. We as an executive team strived for open communications with you and felt ethically and morally more explanation was needed regarding the closure of CoreVitál.

As for the CoreVitál story it ends with a mission intact, “Building communities of healthy people, through life enhancing education, effective products, and inspiring motivational support.” We as an executive team were walking down the path of effective products. We found one that resonated with you and your customers, with a patented process, formula, and unique story. Its primary ingredient was Alka-Plex®, as we as a company continued in talks with the manufacturer we could not come to a final agreement of providing the product to our network of distributors and customers.”

It goes on to mention that they couldnt get the traction they needed  but it did go on to say that:

“1. Commissions for February – calculations were recently completed and payments I perceive will go out shortly

2. Refunds for product – we have refunded product orders that have come in after Friday, March 14th. No product has been sent out since the 13th. Refunds on other products will be given to customers only; no order prior to December 13th, 2007 can be refunded. For refunds please contact Anthony Bott .

3. For product inquiries to the Alka-Plex® ingredient products, feel free to contact your upline leaders or the person who introduced you to the product.”

For those people who got burned or want to contact the company, the email we have is eskinner@corevital.com

ForverGreen (Orem, UT) (OTCBB: FVRG),  announced that it has lined up Marie Osmond and Actress Jessica Biel as two of its keynote speakers for next weeks convetion.

The choice of Osmond and Biel are both seen as strategic given the Osmond family name and the increasing love with Biel (”I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry”, “7th Heaven”) as an actress.

Both cater to a very diverse audience so the synergy appears to be good.  We have never seen Biel speak before at any conference and she isnt known to be big at conferences whereas Osmond is a veteran speaker and delivers with great energy. 

The convention takes place from April 3rd - 5th at the Salt Palace in Salt Lake City, UT.
