Since we posted the news earlier in the week about Melaleuca’s announcement of their new product line called “Vitality” which contains Oligofructose Complex - there has been a lot of buzz. So what exactly is Oligofructose?
Oligofructose is carbohydrate polymer derived from fructose polymers commonly found in plants and vegetables including onions, bananas, garlic and chicory). The key component of Oligofructose is that it is designed for anyone who wants to consume traditionally sweet foods and drinks, without consuming excess calories or triggering a large rise in blood sugar and insulin levels. It is therefore a healthy way of sweetening food and drinks. Oligofructose may be useful for people on calories controlled diets, low carbohydrate diets and for general weight control. Clinically, the substance may benefit obese patients and is widely used with diabetics.
As it relates to Melaleuca’s new Vitality line, one of the things we expect is that Oligofructose can help support a persons weight loss goals as part of a calorie controlled diet and exercise program. The substance allows you to consume sweet foods and beverages without the negative blood sugar and insulin responses normally associated with such food and drinks. There is also some suggestion that Oligofructose may independently improve insulin and blood sugar control, thereby improving metabolic profiles – a factor which may be of particular help in weight management. It will also help your digestive system resulting in less bloating, wind or stomach upsets.

Melaleuca’s use of Oligofructose in Vitality and the way the company has developed a method to formulate the complex for any age is significant.

Where in the world did you get this information about the Oligofructose and weight loss and why do you have this company listed as an MLM when it has been proved in Federal Court that it is NOT and MLM.
False or misleading information does not speak good about your reporting teams.

There are numerous scientific and health organizations that claim that Oligofructose can aid in weight loss. A simple Google search will help you further udnerstand the value of Oligofructose.
Melaleuca is in fact a Direct Selling model so not sure what you are referring to.
There is NOTHING false or misleading about this article and we stand by it 100%.
