hat moves our desires? What are the mechanisms which transform these desires into

intentions, and later into actions? Where do our inner motivations come from and how do they get along together? One of the best answers to these questions is Maslow’s pyramid which is so familiar to many network distributors and so frequently mentioned during business training seminars. It is an orderly “floor plan” of human needs: from the most basic to the top ones.

The “dwellers” of the first floor are the physiological human needs, for example, food, water, and air. The floor above is occupied by safety and comfort needs. Further up is the feeling of belongingness to a hu5

A number of economic crises have broken out during this period. The 2015 crisis is said to be one of the most complex, since Russia has been seriously challenged by the Western world - it is about the economic sanctions resulting in a great impact on the situation. But even now VISION shows stable and dynamic development. The Company still has 25 offices in 15 countries.

VISION bringing minds together! Hundreds of thousands of partners work with the Company today. Among the principal indicators of its success is the recognition by international organizations. The most powerful among them, the World Health Organiztion (WHO), in cooperation with VISION and the Nutrition Institute (represented by the Research Council for Medical Issues of Nutrition governed by the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences and the Russian Ministry of Health and Social Development) holds research on life quality. Its results show the global situation and the importance of the issues VISION works with. Millions of people need the products VISION brings to the international market. Over 140 thousand positive results of VISION product administration has been recorded. It means that people discovered our product, took it and got a specific result that improved their health. But the Company keeps going: it creates its own laboratory, DEM4, run by unique specialists from different countries. VISION brings minds together! One of such specialists came onto the stage. The audience warmly greeted Elmantas Posevicus, Director of DEM4 Research Department.

We are the first who use liposomes to deliver biologically active substances to our products. Liposome is a small sphere measured in nanometers. The structure of the liposome wall is very much alike with the human cell membrane structure. It means that the active substances in the liposome can be brought to our cell without extra transportation efforts. Liposomes improve the accessibility of the active ingredients, thus increasing their blood concentration and improving the effectiveness of Smart Food product line.” In conclusion, Doctor Elmantas Posevicus spoke about those who need the D4X,

Before developing a product, we find out which global level specialists work in the relevant sphere and who the best of them is. DEM4 Laboratory is special because it can involve the specialists it needs.” Then Elmantas Posevicus made a vivid and clear presentation of SmartFood product line: “What is Smart Food? Even Google doubts about it. How do DEM4 specialists see it? Smart Food is scientifically created, balanced, wholesome and, what is more, functional food that has a good effect on our organism.

No doubt, Daniil Dubrov, a premium-class professional, did it perfectly well. The he referred to figures to prove that the new VISION program will bring 100 thousand rubles as early as in one month.

I loved the presentation on the new product. I believe that many people will sign a contract today because it looks like they are interested in new business offers, especially the Auto Program. I have been dreaming about a car too, and I have clung to this idea.

This is the beginning of a jubilee year, which is going to be full of amazing events and incredible projects. We have already launched the Auto Program, some new bonus programs, and we are starting the Business Pack program which will result in fantastic earnings– and don’t be put off by the staggering size of your earnings. We are going to arrive at our 20th anniversary with very good figures.

What I really enjoyed was that everybody, regardless of their age, was glowing with happiness and beaming with energy; that was so appealing. I hope I can do business with VISION and that I have chosen the right way. I am particularly interested in the Auto Program. Buying a car is my ambition. I hope I can make use of this wonderful opportunity and get a car.

Over fifteen years in the Company, I came to realize that it is like an island where everyone can use their talents and find good friends. We have a lot of effective programs. The Auto Program attracts people, especially youths: many have already joined it. Then we developed a new offer, the Business Pack program, which is quite easy for young people too. I think in the future I will work with young people more and more, because they have certain demands while their possibilities are reducing. I believe that young people need to come to VISION and fulfill their dreams with us.

ALEVTINA BLAZHENKO (Krasnodar region), VIP I began business with VISION in the town of Nurengi in Yakutia. I have been in the Company since 2007. Later I had to move a lot around the country. Thanks to VISION products I saved my daughter. She was 7 years old then, and now she is 25, she is very healthy and fit, she lives in Canada and is married. Twenty years after I had my daughter, I had another child, and for him I am grateful to the Company products too because the father of the child had an infertility diagnosis for ten years. When he met me however, he started taking our capsules for men’s health and we both were given this gift of a child: our son is 5 years old now.

Vision’s new unique program the Business Pack offers optimal opportunities for successful sales. As unbelievable as it sounds, it is possible to earn 100,000 rubles in the first month working with this business tool. We present an authoritative opinion of one of VISION’s top leaders Daniil Dubrov, who clearly demonstrated that it is really possible during his speech at Welcome to Vision

hat do we understand under “setting a business”? To open a construction business for example, one will have to collect a huge pile of documents and have

start-up capital; for retailing business one will need to buy goods and equipment…the list can go on and on. In VISION however, all you need to start and do a successful business is just one box! It has all the tools you need to receive profit in a matter of a short time. How does the Business Pack work? The Business Pack contains VISION’s high quality Smart Food products aimed at a healthy lifestyle and functional diet. They are D4X nanotechnology complexes based on organic and ecological ingredients. This is super food enriched with exclusive blend of honey and fortified with additional components. The Business Pack has three packs of each kind of D4X, 120 sachets in total. Another tool is the software device complex VIP-ROFES. This innovative express test device describes the general state of the main body systems in just three minutes. It is unique in its ability to detect the problem before it develops into a hazard for a person’s health. Operating VIP-ROFES is not just easy, it’s very easy. Depending on the readings, a distributor recommends a person certain VISION’s products which will help improve his health. “VIP-ROFES is a unique device in all respects, said Daniil Dubrov. – Do tests, give recommendations and improve your health. Make good use of the tools that you have in your hands and ensure a safe future for your business”.

VISION PLANET 12 / 2O15

The Business Pack includes digital tools designed especially for the promotion of this business. The pack also has Android-based software. One must download and set a Business Pack application, and all tools will be available in any device. If a user doesn’t have a tablet, he can purchase the program with VISION’s tablet as part of the Business Pack program. The software includes efficient presentational and marketing material on business and products. The personal internet page, so called Landing Page for creating traffic on the Internet in order to attract new business partners from social networks, has a personal account and many other things to run a business. The software device complex provides comprehensive information on marketing, sales and products. A step-by-step instruction ensures a successful start-up. VISION’s training portal suits both beginners and experienced entrepreneurs. You will be equipped with practical knowledge: from basic advice to the most complicated sales techniques. The training system includes a series of step-bystep online videos, instructions, and classes by successful top leaders. It also includes master classes and online seminars held both in Russia and abroad. Those who will purchase the Business Pack will learn how to achieve goals with the program tools, how to find potential partners, and how to make these tools work for them! So what is the real income scheme? If the Business Pack participant engages one partner, his income will be around 16,700 rubles depending on the euro exchange rate. With three partners the income will reach 50,140 rubles. The best result will be with five partners, in which case the distributor will receive a VIP status and his income will increase up to 105,000 rubles! Impressive, isn’t it? The development and introduction of the Business Pack program is another proof of VISION’s exclusive offer on the networking market. Bringing together the ultimate medical achievements and latest technologies, the Company has offered a 21st century business solution for great and quick results. Indeed, this is the best trend of the third millennium!

No one argues about Business Pack â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Everyone is buying it A unique Business Pack program having started on 01 August 2015 is nowadays being successfully implemented. We were curious to find out from the distributors what mostly attracted them in this program and at which moment they made a decision to take part in the program. Today we share these opinions with the readers of our magazine

Natalya Kotova (Simferopol, the Crimea), VIP 1S As soon as I learned about a new unique project of the Company â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Business Pack program, I immediately took a decision to get involved into it! I looked forward for the start of the program in August. The program requires minimum investments, guarantees a quick return of funds and gives you an opportunity of earning serious money â&#x20AC;&#x201C; from 100 thousand rubles and more already in the first month. Another attractive feature is that the Business Pack program is planned for one year. We have received unique tools for a business meeting. My confident attitude has also passed to the distributors. Everyone has found the real possibility of reaching the desired goals. Business Pack means the open-ended opportunities!

Marina and Igor Tolshchin (Khabarovsk), VIP 1S Having heard about the Business Pack program first during the Forum which took place in April, we got extremely expired by it. It will be the first time when we will be paid such money for recruiting. This is fantastic!!! We looked forward for the beginning of the program and already in May started working with VIP-ROFES to promote the Business Pack. And on 05 August we were among the first in Novosibirsk to purchase the Business Pack. We are extremely happy with this program! It contains all necessary features that allow us to surprise a person who was invited to the meeting. However, the main component of the program is the money which can be earned already during the first week!

VISION PLANET 12 / 2O15

Elena Chernoval (Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk), VIP 1S Numerous members of our company attended the Forum, where this program was first presented. We could not help getting involved into it because we saw the tremendous prospects â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to earn quickly and much. Besides, this program allows us to build new perspective networks. By investing into it, you can return your invested funds already during the first month and earn from 100 thousand rubles and more. We have never had anything like that before and never dreamed about such opportunity. This is just amazing!

Inna Bessonova (Tallin, Estonia), VIP 1S I had no doubts about the participation in the Business Pack program. We always received the best offers from the Company. Big thanks to our leaders who are offering trainings to us, sharing their philosophy and stimulating us by demonstrating the scenarios of the course of events. Prior to buying the program we listened with great attention to the weekly conferences hosted by S. Shinkevich, whereas I. Delikatnaya gave us lessons on VIP-ROFES and Business Pack. By purchasing the Business Pack program we realize that a wide road of new opportunities and victories is ahead of us!

VISION PLANET 12 / 2O15

September 06 during VISION GALAXY I had to experience a lot of emotional

moments and thrilling feelings. How to describe an atmosphere, when thousands of people are greeting each other at an amazing VISION GALAXY event, which took place in Ho Chi Minh City in a glorious QUEEN HALL. The largest music events and entertainments are regularly performed here. This time the QUEEN HALL welcomed the participants of the most significant event in the lives of Vision Vietnam distributors. I was amazed at the huge size of the hall, magnificent decorations, luxurious chairs made in a European style on which conveniently accommodated the distributors and guests of the event. The hall exploded by loud applause when the top leaders appeared on the star track. They were greeted as it is expected to greet people having a high ranking in a successful company. The presentation given by a doctor with an extensive work experience produced a great impression on us. He used to suffer from serious health problems and once

Heirs

The Vision Company is renowned for its unconventional approach to business and relationships with its distributors. It gives Visioners an opportunity to bequeath their business to their heirs. In this case a well-built structure doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t disintegrate when the leader leaves out, but can be inherited by his heirs. We have talked to some of those who have inherited their business this way, and we asked them how it happened and how their business developed afterwards

Svetlana received the nuts and bolts and first skills in direct sales and building up a network from her mother, Renata Yefimova, who has unfortunately passed away, and who is remembered as a wonderful person and a good professional.

SY Mid-nineties were the years when people lost jobs and those who remained at work did not get paid enough to survive. Many Russians began trading then. My mom started working in a networking company. At first it was not VISION, it was another networking company where she learnt about direct sales. I wouldn’t say it was easy; on the contrary that was really hard. She felt uncomfortable first: she had an inner barrier which was hard to overcome. But my mother was a very determined person. If she set a goal, she did all she could best to achieve it. I believe that only by overcoming difficulties we achieve goals and get stronger. My mom learnt to sell and hold business meetings. Practice made her successful. Merely by reading books and attending endless courses you won’t accomplish anything. Practice is the best trainer.

VP That is to say, your mother left work as soon as she knew she’d made the right decision?

SY She left work nearly at once. First she took a sabbatical to try out the new opportunities and then wrote a formal resignation letter. After the first month in VISION she made four times as much money as she earned before working three jobs.

ful. When my team succeeds, I succeed and my Company succeeds. All is inter-related here.

VP Your speaking skills are wonderful. Have you learnt them in VISION too?

SY Here as well. I have acquired public speaking skills with experience. At school I was not confident and I lost my thought when answering in front of the class. Now I have lost count of my public speeches: I have experience in speaking before twenty thousand people and before ten people. Surely, I get nervous anyway. Of course my education also helped me - I am a linguist by profession â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and theatre classes that I took when I was very young. Without doubt, apart from getting a profession, we learn many interesting things in VISION. Where else could I go up the stage and have an opportunity to speak in front of the public? Or host an event? What other profession besides show business can afford being on the stage of Olympiysky or Crocus City Hall? I can do it with VISION! Believe me, it is overwhelming! I always tell beginners: first you feel frightened but you still do it. It is important to do things regardless of your fears. Then over time you get excited, you get to like it. Appetite comes with eating. This is what happened to me.

VP Svetlana, as far I know you built your own network but also inherited your motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. How does it happen in VISION?

SY Working as a VISION distributor I started developing my own network. After my mother Renata Yefimova died, I inherited her contract: the bequeathing was held in 2006.

VP In what aspects would you like to be like your mother?

SY The main quality that my mom managed to keep in spite of all hardships was her 54

allows me to do everything I like doing. Traveling first of all: every year I try to visit a new country, and sometimes more than one. For example, in 2014 we visited fifteen countries with my husband, and they were mostly for holiday. We also like yachting. I love kite-surfing. I used to practice lawn tennis. All these sports are quite expensive but we can afford them. When on holiday, I am always in touch with my team. Luckily, the 21st century gives this opportunity: my laptop is always with me.

VP What does your husband think about your work? It is no secret that many people see it quite negatively.

SY My husband works in a completely different sphere but he understands perfectly well that networking business is a way of promoting products, ideas, and opportunities. In this case another economic scheme applies, that’s all. As for prejudices – they are probably frequent with those who have never studied the essence of network marketing. There are products which are sold through trading networks, and there are products which are sold through networks created by people. That is to say, we build consumer networks. People earn money by recommending. Ten years ago I chose this profession to be free and earn so much that I didn’t have to think about money. I realized then that it was a way to fulfill my dreams. And it all happened just like I wanted! Your dreams come true with VISION! Interviewed by Elena Polyakova

VISION PLANET O9 / 2O15

3 tips for beginners by VISION top leader Svetlana Efimova Do not take a refusal as a failure. No matter what you do, at first, you face some difficulties. In network business, coping with fear of refusal is one of such challenging moments. When you are refused after a meeting or contact, you need to take it easy. Today they say “no”. Tomorrow everything may change. So keep in touch with them. Contact them again later. You often have to meet or call a person 4 or 5 times or even more, until they say “yes”. And it is normal. What you need is persistence. It must be clear: they do not say “no” to you; they say “no” to the opportunity for a better life. Remember: every “no” moves you closer to the goal. That is a fact. A hundred no’s correspond with a certain number of yes’. Imagine a mushroom hunter. Could they collect a full basket if they stopped and cried over every tree without a mushroom under it? No! So the more refusals you get, the closer your goal is. I mean an evolving network and financial well-being. Remember, there can be no wasted efforts.

Plan your actions step by step and analyze them. You have certain goals and this is the reason why you started your business with VISION. To see how to reach your goal, plan your actions. Learn to analyze your past actions too. When you have a specific number of contacts, conducted meetings, presentations, agreements and refusals, you can see your business plainly and realize where to move next. Strict planning and proper analysis open your eyes, and you become a true businessman. You should account your investment and profit too. Count your profits to write your own history of success that will always encourage you, and you will make even more money.

Work closely together with your sponsor Your sponsor is the person to help you in mastering all the things I mentioned and many others. This is your partner and tutor. You need to work in close cooperation with your sponsor, listen to them and trust them completely. Joint planning, meetings, presentations and analysis are the foundation of your future achievements. And together with your sponsor, you will come to them much faster. Remember: the sponsor offers the best assistance when you involve them in your work really actively. 56

VISION came into our lives, rapidly and stormily! That was in 1996.

It’s great when there are family dynasties and parents share their experience, professional qualities, and skills with their children. Of course, the continuation of family traditions is a good starting point for heirs in strengthening their own positions in profession and a great opportunity to reach even greater successes in something they devote their lives to. But without personal perseverance and the desire to improve the baggage that a person receives from parents it is difficult to succeed. Daria Panina, the successor of Mitrokhin-Smirnova’s family business, knows that from her own experience. Daria told us about the history of her family in VISION, how their business started, and about her own way in the business in this interview

Another important point, which I must notice: loads of wonderful, energetic, strong, open, people united by VISION’s idea came into our life. Many of them still are my friends and mentors. They are Pavel and Svetlana Dubrov, Oleg and Alla Andriychuk, the Safronovs and the Goldins. And a lot of other good people. I often think of Renata Efimova, a wonderful couple of Boris and Yulia Rychkov, truly strong leaders, as well as Valery Fedotov, Yuri Yakovlev. Speaking about VISION of that time, I have to say about these wonderful people who loved the Company with all their heart and dedicated their lives to it. It is a great happiness that today their business continues on in their heirs, children and grandchildren. It is no exaggeration to say that for all of us VISION is not just business, it is a philosophy of life. We grew up in the Company, our world view, both humanistic and professional, was formed here. Each of us is a real proof that this business works 100%. Moreover, you can say for sure that success can be inherited: today we continue our parents’, our mentors’ business and we are proud that once they chose VISION!

VP What interested you personally the most in this business?

DP When I came to training courses with my parents I was very interested in classes about leadership qualities, development and planning, as well as opportunities to achieve goals. At those courses my parents learned the basics of the activity that was unusual for them. As they gained new knowledge, they became stronger, wiser, and more confident. Frankly speaking, I had never looked at my mom and dad as leaders, who could lead others to success and combine them into a team, before. And one more thing - and this is very 59

a consulting psychologist. But only working with people in VISION I got more feedback and a better vision of what I can do for them. That is to teach them not only the ability to set goals and achieve them, make deals, but also the ability to improve the quality of health and therefore the quality of life. In short, I bring the choice of excellent health philosophy into their lives. As is known, health is one of the main criteria of a successful life. If people don’t eat good food, don’t support their body properly, they can miss the opportunities of a high-quality life. In order to have a successful business in VISION, to make good deals, constructively communicate with people, you need a personal example of a healthy and self-confident person. The Company’s President Dmitry Buriak says: “Healthy people make healthy money here.” It is very important for all distributors to follow this concept.

VP Life does not consist of only success and positive results. It is striped, and good luck coexists with setbacks. You must have experienced dissatisfaction and, probably, disappointment too. What helped you to handle them?

DP Of course, I had doubts and setbacks too but I would never let them control me and I would never give up. Many times during 19 years I have seen people, who have reached considerable heights in VISION having built large structures, leaving the Company a minute before the hour of triumph and losing everything. The worst thing that can happen to people in this business is when they voluntarily give up on success. When I felt that I was starting to doubt, I would recall my mom’s words: “No matter how many people are in front of you at a meeting or a presentation, it is important to remember that you’re not alone.” 61

documented?

DP There is a provision in the Company which regulates transfers of contracts to successors/heirs. In my case I was a distributor first. Mom made her Will and an application to the Company, that after her death the right of tenure goes to me. Since it was a family contract (Smirnova and Mitrokhin) I became my dad’s partner, and my old contract was annulled. My branch went to the higher sponsor, that is, me and dad, Yuri Mitrokhin.

VP In our conversation you speak well about your colleagues and partners: you respect these people so much. Is this for a reason?

DP Of course! I’m not the only one who thinks of VISION as a family and for us it is a great happiness. I do not hesitate to say that many of them are my teachers. These are people with whom we have been going hand in hand for 19 years now. They are Alla and Vladimir Orlov, Svetlana and Vladimir Glushkov, Viktor Melnikov, Elena Smirnova, Ekaterina Mishina, Valentina Shkurko, Olga Milanova, Elena Kiseleva, Madlena Ignatova, Natalia Khlopova, Elena Demidova, Natalia Dzyaduh. All of them have created their own structures and have a long experience. The great responsibility they bear deserves immense respect. VP: Daria, tell us, does your business with VISION bring you such a satisfaction, that you can say without a doubt that you will devote all your life to it? 63

Daniil Dubrov:

“THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN HUMAN LIFE IS SELF-FULFILMENT”

person

VISION PLANET 12 / 2O15

“The most important thing in human life is self-fulfilment”. So says the psychologist A. Maslow, and Daniil Dubrov, third-generation distributor in VISION, agrees with him. You must admit that not every young person in our time thinks in those terms. Daniil is lucky: at 23 years old he has succeeded in Vision both as a person and as a professional. President’s Guardsman, VIP 5S are career achievements that deserve admiration. It all began five years ago, when our interviewee at the age of 18 decided to continue the family business. How was that in practice? What did the young man have to face in the beginning? This and many other things we learned from our conversation

children. My grandparents built their lives a little differently, and their example can inspire people of the same age. After 60, thanks to VISION, they became dollar millionaires! And this is real for those who are at such a venerable age. In our first line there is a person, a friend of our family, Zinaida Ivanovna Kiseleva, who has managed to become a dollar millionaire at the age of 83! In my opinion, it was their great faith in the Сompany which helped all of them! If we talk about what exactly amazed me the most, it was VISION’s philosophy, the moral foundation of the business: if your team doesn’t do well, you will not succeed either. If you don’t help your people start making money, then you will not have any chance to earn. This is one of the main motives that distinguish our business from a traditional one. It is no secret that in order to succeed in traditional business you have to “elbow your way”, but in VISION, it is different! It was hard to believe that there was such a philosophy in business which is close to me in spirit: “By helping others you help yourself.”

and never lose heart and go all the way, even when everyone around you has given up.

VP What is your personal motivation of work in VISION? What is your main achievement?

DD For me, of course, the material aspect is important - it is the check that we get from the Company every month. However, as Maslow said: “The most important thing in human life is self-fulfillment. This process is as boundless as the Universe.” But if you look at the problem in a more mundane perspective, my main result, my goal and even my dream, which is quite achievable, is to have a number of VIP-masters in the first two lines enough to let my uncle Pavel and his wife Svetlana Dubrov receive the coveted suitcase with a million dollars from Dmitry Arkadievich Buriak. Achieving this goal is not only in my family’s and my personal interests, but it also coincides with the Company’s philosophy: common success is a success of each one. Indeed, the main result of work in a network is to see people in your organization make great achievements.

VP Are you familiar with the feeling of despair that people have when they fail? How did you handle these moments?

DD You can always benefit from failure, analyze your mistakes and move on. But I, personally, have been quite lucky. Despair, in my opinion, comes to single people who have no goals and no means to achieve them. I, on the contrary, have always had goals. They have changed over time and, fortunately, there was always somebody by me who could support me by a word or deed in difficult moments. And if we talk specifically about VISION, here “failure” refers to failure in a meeting or a failed sale. In 68

Eating in road restaurants, where the food is surprisingly delicious, gave us energy. At last we entered Minusinsk. This city is famous for “ox heart” tomatoes to get which other Krasnoyarsk region and Khakassia cities inhabitants come to Minusinsk. Here we delivered our presentation on the square at the city fountain with color illumination. It’s the place where local people dance to the wind band.

The first stop was made after 160 km in the city of Achinsk ahere the distributor Raisa Metlyaeva organized the meeting in one of the prestigious places in the neighborhood - in the recreational center fro children “Koshkin Dom.” The tea party for the guests and distributors took place in the amazing comfortable hall and came together with presentation and giving presents by the Company. A short get-together and hit the road again! We had to be 450 km away from Achinsk to the south by the evening. Our way was along a perfect highway with picturesque views on the sides. But 73

When we arrived to the square the wind band was playing and the dancing pairs were spinning. The sounds of the wind band and the magnificent scene laid before us charmed. We stopped on the square. Our car stickers, balloons and flags with the VISION logo aroused vivid interest in the environment and the questions rolled in. After the wind band left the stage we set the screen and started the Company, its products and opportunities video demonstration. The place for testing was arranged near the stage. Many of the dancing people stood in the line and after passing the test carefully listened to their health state record. The event was lasting until the dark, but the audience didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to leave. A lot of people took distributors business cards and left their phone numbers. We answered the questions, told about the VISION business. On the second day of the race we arrived to the sunny Khakassia which is also called the land of shamans. There are a lot of places where people go to touch the stones and make a wish. For example, to enter a village or a town one should ask the stopping the way mountain spirits for their permission and make a sacrifice: a slice of bread. Maintaining the customary observances, we headed to the village called Askiz where we were waited by our partners and new people. Askiz is an administrative center of Askiz Region, the Republic of Khakassia. It is one of the oldest settlements in the region. The regional culture center hall where our meeting took place turned out to be spacious and elegant: VISION logos all around it, balloons, a lot of presents for the new-comers and, what is the most important, happy eyes of distributors meeting the guests. The whole event from the begging 74

wish and set our balloons adrift. It was one more happy day of our car race. And the next day we had a new road and cities waiting for us. The events in Chernogorsk and Abakan were held according to the same schedule. Chernogorsk is a city where coal is mined and there are many mines around it. So for people who live here our products are a crying need. Lena Vyrva remembers: “The place where we were going to lead the meeting was elegantly decorated under the supervision of Agrafena Chepasheva. We prepared the presents and were waiting for the quests. «Welcome!» - we said to them. They were all ears to listen about the Company offers.

The life of VISION distributors is very eventful. Millennium is the most impressive, massive and overwhelming event. It gives its participants unforgettable memories. We have asked the Company distributors to share with our readers their impressions of their first Millennium. What left the most exciting memories?

Our first Millennium happened in 2007. We experienced the most massive and the most tremendous event in our life! Thirty thousand Visioners gathered in one room! There were banners with the VISION logo everywhere, national flags of different countries, cheers, smiles, music.

I will never forget my first Millennium for sure; that was in 1998 in Moscow. Never before had I been present at an event of such a grand scale. The Olympiysky was overcrowded! Thousands of people from different countries, speaking in different languages, talking like they were good old friends.

attended many Millenniums; each of them was interesting for me because of its theme and an opportunity to learn new information and meet many good friends. The President’s speech was what impressed me most at the first Millennium. Dmitry Buryak’s address inspired confidence and proved that what we did was the right thing.

The thing I remember most of all is the President’s speech. Everybody in the audience listened to Dmitry Buryak with great attention: the eyes of thousands of people were fastened on one person! At that Millennium we saw that the Company is managed by amazing people. We also realized its massive scale. We heard a lot of real life stories. We consolidated our belief in the Company philosophy. Since then we have been loyal to VISION!

I also remember the speech of the VISION Company President, Dmitry Buryak. This was the first time when I heard anyone talk about his life in such a frank and sincere manner. When he talked, a feeling of absolute trust was forming inside me: trust in this man – although I had never met him before – and in the Company which I chose. I feel proud of working with VISION!

Millenium Millenium Millennium of VISION is a festival! This day changes all for the best! This is the most unforgettable event in the life of anyone who has visited it at least once!

I came to the Company on 15 September 1997, and the following year I took part in my first Millennium which was held in Olympiysky. I arrived at the occasion with my team of eight people. The first feeling I had was the power and strength of the Company! Incredible enthusiasm, a general positive attitude and amazing energy signals from the audience were beyond my imagination.

My first Millennium was in 2007, when I signed my contract. When I found myself at this event, I thought I was in paradise. I was amazed by the general atmosphere of the festival, and even more by the way the distributors treated each other and me: they talked to me so sincerely, in such a friendly manner, as if we had known each other since childhood. That was completely unique.

I have attended all Millenniums of VISION except for the first one, because I came to the Company one year after it was founded.

It was then that I heard the Company President Dmitry Buryak. He delivered to all of us his absolute confidence and complete assurance that VISION is the best Company whose people opted for perfect health and made this choice their life philosophy.

Another great impression was the Presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s speech. Thirty thousand people were moved by his speech. The projects that Dmitry Buryak talks about first look a fantasy, but then they get realized: we have seen many examples of this. I understood there and then that VISION is my business! I have never regretted having devoted my life to the Company.

Millenium

Millenium The biggest impression at Millennium for me was the speech of our President Dmitry Buryak, which I still remember. It was obvious that he is a very strong leader. He captivated the audience easily, he spoke from the heart, and we all could feel it.

This was the decisive moment when I knew I wanted to work with VISION, even though at that moment I was headmaster of a private school. It was clear to me that I can follow a man like our President, and that VISION is a reliable Company and it has a great future!

Every Millennium gives me a strong incentive to working harder and a remarkable air of a beautiful festival!

I remember my first Millennium as if it happened just recently, although it was in 2001. It was devoted to the fifth anniversary of the Company. We went to this event in a large company by train, and we had taken with us the VISION brand flags. The journey itself was unforgettable but we couldn’t wait for the big event; and it did not fail our expectations. We were astounded by everything – the scale of the event, the number of people present, the decoration of the room, and thousands of people in beautiful clothes!

Kapka: My first Millennium happened in 2001; then I went without my family. That was a massive event: never before had I seen such an incredible event. But there was one thing that encouraged me to never go to Millennium alone – at the end of the program Dmitry and Margarita Buryak invited all distributors’ children on stage. That was a convincing evidence of how important family values are in the Company.

The Company President Dmitry Buryak’s speech and his sincere appeal to each one of us made us look at this business in a new way. I saw the President’s passion for his business. I saw him talk to us as if we were equal partners. Fourteen years later, I still remember vividly everything that happened in Olympiysky then!

The following year, 2002, I went to Millennium with my husband. Ilia is a priest in a Bulgarian Orthodox church. We have learnt for ourselves that VISION is the right choice and a perfect opportunity to improve your health and financial situation, and also help other people. In 2003 I brought twenty people from my structure including my daughter Nikolet to Millennium.

Nikolet: I travelled to my first Millennium in 2003 when I was 12 years old. I have to say that when I saw a room full of thousands of people, I got goosebumps. Everybody congratulated each other, rejoiced, and it was clear that they were genuinely happy! For a child these are very powerful impressions, I still keep them in my memory. Since then I have been looking forward to each new Millennium!

Daâ&#x20AC;&#x201E;Nang the city of bridges, pagodas, and friendly people Today, Da Nang is one of the fastest growing and developing cities in Vietnam. It combines the features of both a metropolis and a seaside town in a very remarkable manner. At the same time, when you are in in Da Nang, it is pretty clear that you are in a land with ancient history and culture

vision voyage

VISION PLANET O9 / 2O15

a Nang is located in south-central Vietnam, which is famous for its diverse

landscape:

mountains,

plains, and the sea. Perhaps the main difference between Da Nang and other cities in Vietnam is that it has great potential for development. Its affable and communicative residents meet the most unexpected ideas with considerate attention and show great interest to the ultramodern attributes of the present day. However, they also cherish the heritage of antiquity – the cultural values and peculiarities of the development of Vietnamese people. So, what is Da Nang known for? First of all, for “China Beach”, which is one the six most attractive beaches in the world according to Forbes. This beach, among others – My Khe, My An, Pham Van Dong - is washed by the gentle South China Sea. In the daytime its transparent waves sparkle under rays of tropical sun, and at night they lap in the bright light of the stars. Da Nang is also called “the city of bridges”. There are nine of them here. The Han River reflecting them in its slow flowing water makes an unforgettable impression. The Han River Bridge is the first swing bridge to be built in Vietnam. It became the source of pride not only for the Danangians, but also for the whole country. The tourists who visit this city come to the embankment at 1 a.m. to watch the bridge rotate 90 degrees and allow shipping traffic to pass along the river. The Danangians call it “the Miraculous Motion.” The Thuan Phuoc Bridge is the longest suspension bridge in Vietnam. The Tran Thị Ly Bridge resembles a tight sublime sail. The iron Dragon Bridge, which has received numerous international awards and has been

VISION PLANET O9 / 2O15

listed in the Guinness Book of Records, is particularly impressive: it looks like a yellow Dragon flies through the entire bridge, so that one gets the impression that it is soaring. What a fascinating view! Both tourists and the Danangians come to the embankment on the weekends to watch the Dragon breath fire. Each bridge in Da Nang is a local landmark and is associated with a certain period in the history of this dynamic city. The roads along the Han River banks have entertainment and recreational areas. There are many places suitable for night walks, during which you can fully enjoy the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fun atmosphere at night and visit all kinds of restaurants, bars, and cafes. Both tourists and the locals like walking around the Son Tra peninsula. These walks are especially wonderful in the early morning. The entire city with its long sea coast spreads before your eyes. An inexpressible aura of serenity and tranquility reigns in this place. The area around Linh Ung pagoda, which is located on the hill, has even more of a light and peaceful atmosphere. They say that this place gives a visitor the feeling of overwhelming lightness and joy, while its beautiful landscapes contribute to a tranquility that suffuses a traveler. A statue of Buddha, whose eyes are directed towards the sea, stands here; a huge thousand-year-

old ficus grows nearby. An ancient legend says that this place was chosen by some angels for teleportation to the Earth. Actually, this region presents a very rich palette of vivid impressions: landscapes of uninhabited forests, majestic mountains, impressive scenes of fishing, and much more. In another part of the city there are the “Five elements mountains” - Ngu Hanh Son - consisting, as the name implies, of five mountains. Each mountain has its own name - Kim (Metal), Mock (Wood), Thuy (Water), Hoa (Fire), and Tho (Earth). Stepping up the mountain you will be absolutely amazed by the landscapes. The grottos and caves transform the surrounding area into a fairy tale. Ngu Hanh Son abounds with pagodas and temples, where everyone can ask for health, welfare, and happiness. Besides of that, Non Nuoc Stone Carving Village is located here. Its craftsmen make fine works from marble. It is interesting to watch the stone carvers at work, and after that buy a souvenir for the memory of this unique land. Another mountain, which rises to the height of 1,489 meters above sea level, is called “the Emperor’s mountain”. The unique village of Ba Na (Ba Na Hills) is situated on the top of the mountain. You can

VISION PLANET O9 / 2O15

only reach it by the funicular that is the longest single-rail cable in the world with almost 5 km in length. Moving on it, you can admire the stunning views overlooking from the Wong Nguet (“observation of the Moon”) mountain up to the Ba Na Hills. At the top of Ba Na you will see buildings made in the architectural style of old France. You will be surprised to see images that are incredibly similar to those in the paintings by Paul Cezanne and Van Gogh. What’s the connection between them? one would think. As it turns out, the village of Ba Na was designed by the French, who copied the architecture of the 19th century. What a surprise! Another symbol of this unique place is the Duc Bon Si Buddha statue which is 27 meters high. It was installed on the very top of the mountain in 2004. Anyone who wants to approach the statue has to go on a winding mountain pass which is about 15 km long. Domestic and foreign photographers like Ba Na for its diversity and unusual beauty of its scenery. Loads of them come here to take wonderful photos. To the south of Da Nang there is the ancient town of Hoi An with its narrow streets, which produce a peculiar impression on visitors. Unusual is also the fact that every 89

vision voyage

VISION PLANET O9 / 2O15

time you come here, you have the feeling of novelty, like it’s your first time here. It is not clear why you have such a feeling, but many people say so. In the streets of Hoi An you can hear the sounds of old music. On the 14th day of every month during the full moon the locals organize the Lantern Festival. On this day, all electric lights are turned off. Only lanterns, which decorate the streets, give light. Many bright lanterns made of paper and silk are hung on houses and above the streets. Some of them have traditional shape and color, while others are quite unusual and painted in bright colors. Beautiful lanterns in the form of flowers float down the Hoai river with the wishes of welfare for families and relatives. It is an amazing view, when a huge number of colored lanterns float down the river accompanied by the loud mirth on the shore. At the end of the festival lanterns of all shapes - from classic ones to dragons, fish, and phoenixes - take off into the sky. Hoi An is a very old settlement. Ancestral dynasties have lived here for centuries; family crafts have been passed on from generation to generation. That is why its streets abound with workshops sewing clothes, shoes, and handbags. The craftsmen can make them in a short time, during the day, and for any taste. This painstaking hand work is an exact picture of the local inhabitants. Hoi An also has a wonderful fish market, where you need to come early in the morning when the fishermen moor at the dock with their fresh catch. In 1999, Hoi An was recognized as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Even this short description is enough to make sure that Da Nang is worth visiting. Come here and you will never forget it!

Our magazine often tells stories of life, career growth, and ambitions of Visionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s distributors. We would also like to tell you about those whose work is to implement large-scale strategic events of Vision, manage the daily life of the Company, and whose talents and skills maintain the Companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s high professional reputation. We start a new column TEAM VISION which will tell about the personnel of VISION

VISION: THE COMPANY OF PROFESSIONALS

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatever you do, you do it for youâ&#x20AC;? goes an eastern proverb. This is also true about professional life of a man, for we devote a large part of life to work. A choice for an exciting job is a choice for a satisfying activity, a certain working drive. The international company VISION gives this chance to each of its member, both distributors and the Company personnel. We were interested to know how a career in VISION develops. We talked to Pyotr Kipa, the marketing director in Vietnam

team vision

VISION PLANET 12 / 2O15

Vision Planet Finding a good job is everybody’s ambition. It is widely believed that the only way to get a good place is by pulling strings. How did you get in VISION?

Pyotr Kipa Definitely not by pulling strings! In 2009 I was discharged from the army, and like all army leavers I started looking for a job. Today this task is a lot easier thanks to modern information resources: I used them and got into VISION. My first position was a stock clerk in a trade company in Moscow. Shortly afterwards, the management decided to transfer me to the online shop (GOS) to a position of a senior technical support specialist. If you want to realize yourself in a profession, good results will follow promptly. I have to say, I had my ambitions. Some people associate this word with a desire to satisfy one’s vanity. For me, ambition is synonymous to the pursuit of success, determination, and status seeking. These features helped me to demonstrate my abilities, and I was invited to the Marketing Department as a project manager.

VP What qualities did this position require?

PK I won’t say anything new if I say that any position requires both professional and personal qualities; ideally they should not contradict each other. And that is the most difficult thing!

that period. At our meeting they also prevail. But we should remember that we are the children of winners. Victory is in our nature. We do not want to starve, grow old or live in poverty. This is why the rejuvenation and life-prolongation program is so popular. But what will happen next? If we live until 120 or 140 years old, what will happen to the national budgets? The pension funds will run out of money. The governments of many developed countries already cope with this problem. Some increase the pension age; some offer new ways of pension accumulation. However, do not rely on governmental payments too much. The government will not be able to. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s discuss what we can do to make our gray hair fairly rich. To become independent from pensions, donations, and payments.

What is residual revenue at VISION Rely on yourselves. I have been a fan of VISION for 19 years. And do you know what I like most. Residual revenue. What is it? It is my personal opinion and I do not insist on it. For me residual revenue is when the people brought by me bring other people. This is the people who love our product, who want to be young for many years. They understand what the smart food is and know how profitable and simple it is. They come to our trade complex and buy - our accounts get more money. All our money and earnings are in the VISION-branded containers. Our profits come from the turnover of the structure we created. But a good residual revenue must be stable. So you need to grow up a leader who will not give up the business when left 101

VISION PLANET 12 / 2O15

Great knowledge – great success Master classes are an excellent way in which distributors can perfect their skills and performance. Even more so when these classes are given by professionals of a high level, like Tatiana Surova, who is holder of the Order of Brilliant Perfection, the President’s Guardsman, member of the Millionaires’ Club. We went to her master class called “Let’s talk about the key things” and we asked distributors two questions: 1. How would you evaluate Tatiana Surova’s master class for distributors and invited people? 2. The master class took place in the new Trading center in Krasnopresnenskaya Embankment. What are your impressions of the TC?

Elena Buyanova, Moscow, VIP 1. I think the master class was excellent. All reference points were clearly marked. To me, they precisely defined the Company development which as ever is proactive. 2. The office is perfect. The interior creates an impression of lightness and provides wonderful opportunities for doing business. It is a nice place to be in and work.

Lidia Rozhankova, Moscow, VIP 1. I have no doubt that Tatiana Surova’s master class will give a major impulse to effective development of the business. I was so inspired by her class that I purchased the Business Pack. As always, the Company is looking ahead and is developing strategic tools. The period of sales is over, now it’s time to do the real business. 2. We looked forward to this office! The TC in Krasnopresnenskaya has wonderful facilities. It has everything for running business: inviting people, arranging meetings, ordering and receiving products. In short, it is at a very high level.

Nadezhda Nikiforova, Moscow, VIP 1. I’d put an excellent mark to the event! Tatiana Surova is a professional with a lot of experience. Everything she said was more than convincing. Like her, I purchased the Business Pack because it is very inspiring! 2. We have our Company to thank for this office – I absolutely love it. My legs carry me happily there on their own. I like everything about it: from its location to the rooms. All is well organized- this is why we love coming here and arranging meetings here. You feel like working here: it is comfortable and very nice. High modern standards.

Pavel Kononenko, Odintzovo, Moscow region, distributor 1. The impressions are very good. An immense motivational impulse. Tatiana Surova went to great lengths to explain how to do it, and where to move on. The leaders’ experience and vision are certainly transmitted to us, young distributors. Such master classes are really necessary. 2. The new TC is remarkable, the situation is excellent: it demonstrates the Company’s high status. It is one of the prestigious business areas of the capital. It is a pleasure to invite people for a meeting here.

Irina Kononenko, Odintzovo, Moscow region, VIP 1S 1. I am greatly impressed by the event and Tatiana Surova’s speech. It was obvious that she gave 100 percent, and look how convincing she is. Her words were so powerful. She is a real Master! 2. In the new TC in Krasnopresnenskaya everything is intended for successful business running and its new format. Modern lighting, high ceilings: even this tells about high achievements of the Company and the efficient development of the business. Interior design and fine furnishing without doubt add to productive performance. 104

TS Yes. At VISION, anyone can put their initiative forward and hold such an event. The master class named “Let’s speak to the point!” was my idea. I lodged an application saying I wanted to conduct it. The trade center employees launched a bulk sending to inform distributors about the forthcoming meeting, its date and time. The new trade center on Krasnopresnenskaya Embankment is a great venue for such events. It offers ideal conditions for people to share experience.

VP Why sharing experience is so important for distributors?

TS If not, how would they develop? How would they go ahead? For instance, there are several ways to work with Business Pack. Someone uses the electronic resources to attract partners. Personally, I use them only to establish an initial contact. I need direct personal communication. This is why such experience-sharing master classes are essential; they show what and how to speak, what reasons to produce... This is our business.

smart food:

PRESIDENTâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S SPEECH

the food of the future We all dream of a long and healthy life. Not everyone however achieves it. There are many reasons for this and they are wellknown: bad habits, low physical activity, bad ecological factors, fatigue, and stress. This list can go on and on. Is there a way out? VISION has a solution. It has developed Smart Food, a gift from nature itself. The Company has created a line of D4X products based on nanotechnology using natural ecological ingredients. Why does our body needs this nutrition and what are the benefits of smart food; these questions are going to be answered by Elmantas Potzevichus, head of R&D at the DEM4 Laboratory

114

health

VISION PLANET 12 / 2O15

hat is smart food? How do we define it in the DEM4 Laboratory? Smart Food is balanced, beneficial, and most importantly,

a functional food which was developed with the use of special technologies and which has a positive effect on our body, nurtures it and gives it energy. People can eat it every day. I can guarantee that the products we develop and manufacture are unique. I am going to emphasize here that our products are different from those available on the market. The DEM4 Laboratory has developed a product which has an immediate effect on the body at the cellular level and in particular on the targeted organs. So, we have developed four new products: D4X Get Detox – has a detoxifying function; D4X Get Young – encourages body rejuvenating; D4X Get Smart – facilitates brain activity; D4X Get Active – increases stamina. VISION’s Smart Food product line is a new word in the industry of “smart food”. In the production of all D4X complexes we use a unique blend of honey. Additionally, they contain plant extracts and are produced from a novel type of nanoparticles called liposomes. The DEM4 Laboratory researchers use as natural ingredients the best and rarest of what nature has, ingredients that have no equivalents! For example, acai berries. They are no ordinary berries, they are wild berries that grow in Brazilian forests in high humidity. The berries grown in this particular area are famous for their high and varied nutrient content. Thanks to the sublimation method of processing they retain all their qualities without adding any additives. Acai berries build a “defense fort” in the body thanks to a complex of all known vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidants. Acai berries are a world sensation recognized by all experts in nutrition. D4X GET YOUNG, whose main ingredient is acai berries, is the most effective and delicious method of preventing aging. 115

health

VISION PLANET 12 / 2O15

Another unique ingredient is spirulina algae. It is known as a great source of beta-carotene and calcium. Spirulina has ten times more beta-carotene than carrots, and twenty-six times more calcium than milk. The spirulina used in D4X GET ACTIVE is different because it is collected in ecologically clean alkaline lakes in Central Africa. Wild spirulina grown in that area is fed entirely on natural food. Places like this are disappearing from Earth. The next marvelous component is matcha tea. This is green tea. There are a lot of kinds and sorts of this tea but only the Japanese have developed a technology which retains most beneficial components. Matcha tea has 136 (!) times more antioxidants than usual green tea. The DEM4 Laboratory specialists use this tea in D4X GET SMART which aims at promoting brain activity. The fourth fantastic ingredient is manuka honey. It is produced only from the nectar of the manuka tree which in nature grows solely in New Zealand. Its properties are two hundred times “more powerful” than any other kind of honey, and it contains four times more minerals than regular usual flower honey. Manuka honey in D4X GET DETOX regenerates the body, reinvigorates inner strength and is extremely good for the immune system. Nanotechnologies are another modern trend. In what way are they used in our products? We were the first to use liposomes in Smart Food which consist of small nanometer scale spheres. The structural wall of liposomes is very similar to the human cell membrane. Therefore, the active agents in liposomes can get inside our cells without additional “transport” services. Liposomes promote the absorption of active ingredients and at the same time increase their concentration in the blood and make the Smart Food product line more effective. For optimal result take D4X in the morning on an empty stomach. Dissolve one packet in a glass of warm water. The only thing that our product cannot tolerate is high temperatures. The temperature should not exceed 40C. Is it OK to take several D4X products? Yes, it is. We have analyzed it and can recommend D4X GET DETOX combined with any other D4X product to magnify their effect. 116

However, if water surrounds it, phospholipid molecules will create a two-layer membrane protecting their hydrophobic parts within the membrane to avoid contact with water. By the laws of physics a stable sphere is formed. Inside it water-soluble (hydrophilic) active ingredients can be found, while fat-soluble (lipophilic) active ingredients are located inside the sphere’s membrane layer. This structure is called a liposome. It is very similar to a cell membrane. Therefore, liposomes can easily merge with a cell membrane, transferring contents in120

studied in Copenhagen, Denmark and some in Novosibirsk. Those laboratories were doing research on the microorganisms which we needed. The microorganisms were later tested in Copenhagen after they were put together. The microorganisms were then grown and made into raw material in American production facilities. We selected the bacteria we needed from the first three laboratories and then did clinical testing in the University of Copenhagen. Then they were grown in Michigan, America, packed in Italy, and logistics was undertaken in Austria. So if you want to know about concrete countries, look how many they are for just one product.

So the program will surely be renewed. Then life will challenge us again and we will accept these challenges, we will continue detecting people’s most acute demands and carry out research on the issues of interest.

MYTH: All probiotic supplements are basically the same. FACT: This is fundamentally wrong. Theoretically, every single probiotic supplement available on the market is unique in itself. Some probiotics contain a single strain of good bacteria, while others contain multiple strains. Certain strains of the same species of intestinal bacteria have different roles. “A more profound study of probiotic bacteria of different strains and species has found that their biological characteristics, functional state and relationship with the microorganism differ significantly, therefore a certain microorganism is able to occupy its niche at a specific level … Thanks to the data collected in the study we have been able to develop, design and apply in practice probiotics to differentiate pathogenic therapy of various diseases”.1

MYTH: Supplement labels provide accurate bacteria counts. FACT: Usually not. Labels don’t typically contain detailed information on live bacteria and concentration levels, but instead simply state that the supplement has “live bacteria” or “live cultures”. High-quality supplements from reputable manufacturers will indicate a reliable microbe count, while also listing the organisms’ genus, species and strain.

MYTH: Yoghurts are a good source of probiotics. FACT: Firstly, not all yoghurts have probiotics in them. Secondly, yoghurts, like many functional foods that claim to contain probiotics, are ineffective in delivering those probiotics in the intestine and cannot ensure that the probiotic cultures survive stomach acid. In addition, very few yoghurts come close to providing even the minimum effective dose of 10 billion culture forming units (CFUs) recommended by microbiologists. And to make matters worse, most yoghurt servings contain sugar which suppresses bacteria. Application of probiotics in clinical practice

MYTH: Diet does not have any influence on probiotic effectiveness. FACT: This illusion can destroy probiotic effectiveness. Diet is crucial in this issue. A balanced diet helps the probiotic cultures to establish themselves in the intestine. To do this, it must be rich in prebiotics which in their turn are food for probiotics. The presence of prebiotic components digested by probiotics enhances the probability that probiotics colonize and inhabit the gut. Ordinary foods contain good amounts of prebiotics. Asparagus, onions, tomatoes, wheat and chicory are rich in fructooligosaccharides (FOS). Inulin is found in topinambur and chicory root; raffinose in beans, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, broccoli and wholemeal grain; pectin in apples, plums, black currants, beetroot, carrots and parsley.

MYTH: Low strength probiotic supplements taken over time are as effective as new generation probiotics.

FACT: This is not true. Probiotic effectiveness depends primarily on the state in which they reach the gut where they are supposed to form colonies. Stomach acid pH kills most probiotics. This means that “low strength” strains are ineffective even when taken over a long period of time because they simply don’t reach their destination. This is the reason old generation probiotics don’t work well. They don’t have any effect, even over weeks and months. Only new generation probiotics have high potency. New technology makes probiotics stomach acid-resistant. New methods applied during their manufacture protect each culture from stomach acid. The probiotics reach the gut and establish themselves effectively and people can feel them working in just days. 127

MYTH: Single strain probiotics are as effective as multistrain products.

FACT: No, and the reason is simple. The gastrointestinal tract is a complex organ. Single strain probiotics cannot colonise all the various niches in the gastrointestinal tract, while multi-strain products can effectively restore the body’s microbial balance. For example, Enterobacteriaceae strains are effective in the small intestine while Bifidobacterium strains work best in the colon. Lactobacillus strains are effective in both small and large intestines. Each species of these bacteria struggles for nutrition and therefore suppresses pathogenic and facultative pathogenic bacteria strains and also produces a complex of biologically active compounds (lysozyme, lactic acid, etc.) which have a facultative effect on pathogenic microbes. They create a barrier all along the gastrointestinal tract and therefore prevent the pathogenic microflora from inhabiting the gut. “If a probiotic product contains one single bacteria strain, it is very unlikely that it will be as effective as a number of normal bacteria”1.
