TriVita addresses Chronic Inflammation

The primary concern of the people over at TriVita is creating wellness. Recently they have begun to address the problem of chronic inflammation. The more we learn about inflammation, the more we realize that it is at the root of many of our health concerns. Time magazine has called inflammation the Secret Killer.

Here's a quote from the International Wellness Directory about inflammation:


"Inflammation is a part of the body’s natural defense system against injury and disease.

Chronic inflammation, on the other hand, is a disease. The system has gotten hung up, and instead of protecting the organism (our bodies) it starts to kill the organism, slowly but surely.

Today modern medicine is starting to admit that chronic inflammation is the main contributing factor to all chronic degenerative diseases, and the root cause of the two greatest killers in America: Cancer and Heart Disease. In deed, chronic inflammation might just be the root cause of all degenerative disease."

TriVita is not just developing wellness products that will sell. They are developing products that actually address our most basic wellness issues.



Nopalea is made from the fruit of the Nopal Cactus and is a delicious wellness drink with remarkable anti-inflammatiory properties.

Here's to your wellness journey with Sonoran Bloom Nopalea.


Remember, all of TriVita's products carry a no questions asked, 60 day money back guarantee.

What about TriVita Products...Do they work?

Making money with TriVita is good, but for many people it's just as important that the source of the money is ethical and legitimate. These people are not looking to make money by scamming the vulnerable who are looking to improve their wealth and wellness.

There are a lot of companies out there who are selling vitamins and nutritional products and superfruit juices. And there is money to be made with many of them. How do you know which ones actually have health products which are beneficial?

To begin with, what is the major aim of the company and it's leaders? Are they out to make a profit at any cost or are they out to make the world a better place? Terry Newsome, tells the story of how he first came to TriVita looking to sell Michael Ellison a product that he was sure was a big money maker. But all Michael Ellison wanted to know was, would this product bring improved health.

Here's the story of the beginnings of TriVita as told by CEO and founder Michael Ellison:

Dear Friend:

As a successful, driven, business man, with a loving family and everything I thought I ever dreamed I could want, I never imagined what would happen when I went on my regular jog one day, just 10 years ago. I suddenly felt a pain in my chest like I never had before. Suddenly, instead of jetting around the country working non-stop, pushing myself to the limit, I was in my doctor's office, hearing what I never thought I would hear. I needed to slow down. Regaining the health I had taken for granted for so many years became my number one goal.

Overnight, my priorities changed. A healthy lifestyle became my focus. I began to eat better, exercise, and most of all, I changed my stress level. I no longer jetted around the country on a non-stop schedule, staying up all night and never taking a rest. Instead, I learned what a healthy lifestyle meant. Driven to share what I had learned with the world, I decided I wanted to help people everywhere feel the way they were created to feel.


And how did he decide to accomplish that goal? By creating a company to give people the opportunity to grow in wealth and wellness. He created a company with top quality nutritional products. Many nutriceutical companies don't even let you know what ingredients are contained in their "snake oil." TriVita makes the following statement about their products:

Our products are truly unique, and so far above in quality than anything you would find in retail stores. All TriVita products have physician approved formulas and are guaranteed to meet the highest manufacturing standards possible. We're proud of our products' high efficacy and their results, shared with us by countless satisfied customers .

You can go here to read some of the testimonials about their newest product, Nopalea, from some of those satisfied customers: http//:www.sonoranbloom.com (click on products and then wellness stories)

So, one of the signs that TriVita is legitimate and ethical is that they are truly aiming to make the world a healthier place to such a degree that they will not sell products just to make money. A second sign is that they sell high quality, doctor formulated products made with high grade ingredients. And thirdly, you can judge the quality of their products by the level of customer satisfaction. ways that you know that TriVita products are legitimate is the level of customer satisfaction. TriVita has a return rate of a fraction of 1% even with their 60 day no questions asked 100% money back guarantee. And they are highly rated by the Better Business Bureau.

Is TriVita a SCAM OR Can you actually MAKE MONEY with TriVita?

With the Introduction of TriVita's new Sonoran Bloom line, TriVita also introduced a weekly pay schedule. I have heard many testimonials which include the assurance that the person has received regular payments on schedule for many years with no late payments, no payments missed, no excuses ever offered. Personally, I have received weekly payments from TriVita since the inception of the new pay schedule.


You can listen to one of the top earners in TriVita HERE.


The Sonoran Bloom Line and the initial Sonoran Bloom product, Nopalea include a plan which allows us to start a business for as little as $35.00 and besides the weekly pay plan also includes an initial payout of 70% commissions for the first 90 day purchases of a new account and then 21% lifetime commissions thereafter on subsequent purchases.

You can listen to the Vice President of TriVita HERE.


This is no Scam!

I am making money every week from TriVita........and getting healthier too!

TriVita Nopalea a SCAM??

TriVita has over 50 products, but the latest, Sonoran Bloom Nopalea is being reported to have some incredible qualities. Nopalea is said to combat inflammation in the body.

Scientists report that inflammation is the root cause of many illnesses suffered by people today including atherosclerosis, diabetes, arthritis, fibromyalgia, and possibly even cancer. And while there are drug treatments prescribed to treat these conditions and to decrease inflammation in the body, they are drugs and their use can come with unpleasant and sometimes dangerous side-effects. Even the simple and widely used aspirin and ibuprofen can eventually cause bleeding ulcers and perforation of the stomach or intestines with prolonged use.

Nopalea in contrast is a blend of fruits including the super-fruit of the Nopal Cactus and is not chemical based. There have been literally hundreds of scientific studies proving the health benefits of the Nopal Cactus and it has been consumed for hundreds of years by the Native peoples of the Sonora Desert for it's beneficial qualities. Additionally, Nopalea was subjectedto over 100 scientific studies prior to the initial marketing of the product to the public.

Since the launch of this superfruit drink, the testimonials to its benefits have poured in.

A few of those can be read here.

One of the great things about this company is they are not satisfied to release a product just because it can make money or because it might be beneficial. They insist on solid evidence that the product will be of benefit to the wellness of their customers. They use the highest grade ingredients and quality controlled production. They are committed to contributing to the health and wellness of humanity.

TriVita Scam and New Product Sonoran Bloom Nopalea


If you are still wondering if the TriVita business opportunity is a Scam you need to listen to some of the testimonials coming in on the new anti-inflammatory health drink launched just a couple of weeks ago by TriVita.

Users of Sonoran Bloom Nopalea are reportedly having amazing health benefits in days or weeks after beginning to take this product. You can read and listen to some of those testimonials on the Sonoran Bloom Website Here

Inflammation is one of the main links to many major diseases and infirmities suffered by people around the world. Ailments such as asthma and diabetes, chronic pain, arthritis, fibromyalgia, heart disease, Alzheimer's, etc. are linked to inflammation.

Here is a recording which introduces Nopalea and includes several powerful testimonials.

Nopalea also contains possibly the most powerful anti-oxidant, Betalains. More about that here.

Any product which can produce results like this and which comes from a 10 year old company with virtually no negative press, is not a scam.

TriVita and Scam.com

Scam.com is a great resource for anyone investigating a home-based business opportunity, a network marketing company or mlm. It's just a message board for everyday Joe's like you and me who are interested in making money online or at home and interested in warning others of the scams they've encountered.

Some of the regulars over there have made a mission out of exposing bogus opportunities and ripoffs and it's great to have someone else do some of the legwork for you.

When I started looking at TriVita, one of the first things I did was start a thread at Scam.com asking for input into the question, Is TriVita a Scam? Here's a link to my thread: Trivita -no news/good news? I had already searched the site and found that nobody was posting any warnings about this health and wellness company, but I wanted to dig further and invited these scam-busters to offer their opinions.

Check it out for yourself! In short, nobody told me I needed to be afraid of a scam with TriVita. Nobody told me Michael Ellison was a shady character. Nobody told be the products are bogus.

They did suggest some additional questions I should ask myself about TriVita and some additional resources for checking out any business. All in all, very helpful.

TriVita and The Better Business Bureau.

The BBB (Better Business Bureau) is one of my very first stops when investigating a business or a new business opportunity I'm interested in. If a business is a scam, it's very likely that someone and probably many someones have filed complaints with the BBB. They are a neutral party who will notify the public of complaints and will at times assist with the resolution of those complaints. They are a consumer advocate and they rate companies based on the number of customer complaints and whether the complaints are resolved satisfactorily.

TriVita is an Accredited Member of the Better Business Bureau.
This speaks to their standards as far as customer satisfaction and product reliability and legitimacy.

I have seen many home-based businesses listed by the BBB with very low rankings.

For example, the last home-based business I was involved in prior to looking at TriVita has a rating of F with the BBB. In the last 36 months they've had 1763 complaints.....I should have paid better attention!

Another business I see promoted on the internet alot is GDI(Global Domains, Inc.). They are not a member of the BBB and have a rating of F. Doesn't inspire confidence.

In contrast, WalMart has had 197 complaints in the last 36 months and based on resolution of the complaints has a rating of A+. To me, it looks like they pay attention to customer satisfaction.

Sears has had 15,681 compaints in the last 36 months and has been given a rating of Satisfactory.

What can we find out about TriVita from the BBB? In the last 36 months, TriVita has had 5 complaints with the BBB and all 5 have been resolved. They have a rating of A- and have been an accredited member of the BBB since February, 2004.

Ellison Media (the parent company of TriVita) has been an accredited member of the Better Business Bureau since October of 1997 and has a rating of A+.

Is TriVita a scam?
Not according to the BBB.

I recommend you check it out for yourself at http://www.bbb.org.

TriVita, Legitimate Business or SCAM?

I am astonished at how much spam I get day after day after day from strangers promising to show me how to make my fortune..............like yesterday!

I absolutely HATE scams and scammers!!!
.....as careful as I try to be, I've still been scammed once or twice......they make it sound soooooooo good!

My question is.....how does the Trivita business opportunity compare to all the bogus promises of great wealth and prosperity with little effort or investment?

  • Don't waste you time looking at TriVita if you are looking for a way to get rich quick...you won't get rich quick. To me that's a good thing....I don't want someone making me promises that seem too good to be true. If you want to get rich quick, go buy a lottery ticket. You probably won't win but it won't cost that much and maybe you'll get lucky.
  • Don't look at Trivita if you want to build a business with no effort.....you are going to have to invest some of your time and some of your energy and some of your money. Well at least, you will earn more if you put more into your business. Some people are satisfied to just invest money and let Trivita do the rest...it works, it's just slower and less profitable. It's your business, you decide.
  • Don't bother with TriVita if you are looking for a traditional MLM (multi-level marketing) or Network Marketing business.....TriVita does share some characteristics with MLM such as a multi-level compensation, however, you are not required to sell any product with TriVita. And TriVita is a customer based business not an affiliate based business. In the typical MLM there are many business affiliates for each true customer who just wants to buy product. Compare that to TriVita which has over 2 million true customers to only about 1500 business affiliates.




With Trivita you can join today and have customers tomorrow and you never have to tell another soul about this opportunity to make a good income. If you choose to introduce others into your business and build your business that way....you are still not dependent on them sticking with it for you to make money because if they leave, their customers stay and you still make money on the customers' purchases. That's the beauty of a customer based business.

Furthermore, you don't have to sell products to make money! TriVita sells the products. TriVita markets the products by radio and by television infomercial also by print and by internet. TriVita does the customer follow-up. TriVita does the shipping and packaging and handles the money. They do virtually all of the customer contact.

Finally, unlike all those SCAMS and CASH MACHINES and GUARANTEED MILLIONAIRES and LAZY MAN'S ROAD TO RICHES, TriVita is stable and debt-free.

Trivita is a 10 year old company with a 35 year old parent company founded by and run by people of integrity.


Do your own research...I challenge you to find negatives about Trivita. I tried and I failed. TriVita is no scam!!

Can Anyone make money with TriVita??

Well there are definitely people making money with TriVita. There are independent Business Affiliates making multiple six figure incomes with TriVita. So making money is possible for some, but is it possible for me or for you or for any average schmo?

I'm certain nobody is going to get rich quick with Trivita. In fact, pretty much all Trivita publications and communications regarding the business opportunity including websites and phone conferences and recorded calls are very clear and adament on the point that this is not a method to get rich quick.

My conclusion after extensive research and listening to many hours of training and reading every thing I can find from and about the home-based business opportunity with this company is that anyone can make money with Trivita if they are willing to invest in their future. You've heard that it takes money to make money. With Trivita you will have to invest a certain amount of money and time and effort....how much money, time and effort you invest in your Trivita business will directly impact how much money you make in return. But, doesn't that make sense? Isn't that the way it is with any real business? It takes committment and diligence to succeed in business. TriVita is no different.

With Trivita, you have a choice. There are different ways to make money. Maybe all you want to put into your business is money....that will work. But your business may not grow as fast or as large as if you also chose to build in other ways. Maybe you want to invest minimal capital and instead want to build your business through introducing others to the business or to the products......It's your business; you decide.

The difference here is the business model of Trivita is much stronger than what you find in any other home-based business model. Trivita is a customer based business. This is not like any other home-based business or like any multi-level marketing or network marketing format I've found. And it is this difference which makes it possible for anyone to make money with Trivita.

The illustration used by TriVita to show this difference is as follows, In the typical network marketing format, the majority of customers are actually the business affiliates. They are the people trying to make money and are buying product because they are required to do so to be a representative. With TriVita, the business affiliates are required to make a small monthly purchase of product ($20-$100 depending on your level of achievement within the company) but the overwhelming majority of customers are just customers. TriVita has approximately 2.5 million customers and only about 1500 business affiliates.


YOU get to decide how many customers you want to profit-share with Trivita.

YOU decide how much money you want to make.

Is TriVita a Scam?

I'm skeptical. We've got to be if we are looking to find a legitimate home-based business opportunity. Scams are EVERYWHERE!! I get multiple solicitations in my in-box daily for the latest get-rich-quick scheme/scam. "Earn $20,000 in 2 days, guaranteed! No Risk!" Why do you suppose I'm skeptical?

So, whenever I begin to assess an opportunity I've just heard about, I assume it's a scam or a pyramid scheme or that the products are worthless or that they'll be out of business in a month or two before I can make a dime. I've seen these things (and more) happen too many times. I've been ripped off and lied to and worse. Probably anyone who is looking at home-based businesses has had the same experiences. My first move is to look for proof of the scam. I ask myself, what's the catch and I begin with internet searches. And that's what I did with TriVita. I encourage you to do the same. Look for yourself and see what you can find! This blog is about my search for the truth about TriVita and about doing my "due diligence" in researching this potential opportunity.

I did google searches linking the word trivita with words like scam, beware, rip-off. "Is TriVita a Scam?" "TriVita Scams" "Beware TriVita" "Trivita Ripoff" Then I did searches using variations on scam with Sublingual B-12 and Super Sublingual B-12, Adaptogen 10 Plus, Nutrafruits and Leanology which I believe are their top selling products. "Sublingual B-12 Ripoff" "leanology facts" "Beware Adaptogen" I wanted to find out if people who bought their products loved them or hated them. Did they think they worked? Did they send them back for a refund? I wanted to know if people complained about getting ripped off or about some other aspect of customer service. I found no complaints about Trivita. People seem to love the products and many have apparently been using Sublingual B-12 for years and talk in glowing terms about the health and wellness benefits they've experienced. Additionally, the products are doctor developed and many of them are backed up by third-party research. I learned that they have a lower than 1% return on their products.

Then I researched their standing with the Better Business Bureau (BBB). How many complaints have there been against this company? Against the parent company (Ellison Media). Were they settled satisfactorily? What type of issues? Are they members of the BBB? TriVita is a member of the Better Business Bureau and has very few complaints.

I also did searches on the CEO and founder, Michael Ellison and on Ellison Media. I wanted to know how long Trivita and Ellison Media have been in business and I wanted to know as much as I could find out about Michael Ellison and his son, Marcus Ellison who is company vice-president. Are these people ethical? I found no suggestions that these men are anything but ethical, legitimate business men. In fact Michael Ellison apparently founded this company in response to his own health crisis and a desire to help others to live healthier and gain wealth. The "tri" in trivita is for three aspects of health and wellness (physical, mental and spiritual) and he has written a book called "10 Keys to Creating Health and Wellness" which promotes the foundational values of this company. Ellison Media has been in business for over 35 years and Trivita has been in business for 9 years. I was very pleased to find that these are not Start Up companies! I found no hints of scandal.

I went to scam watchdog websites to see if there were discussion threads about TriVita. Then I actually started a thread on Scam.com asking for anyone to tell me if they had been ripped off by Trivita. These guys love to trash illegitimate business opportunities, network marketing and mlm type home-based businesses. I wanted them to tell me whatever they had found or could find negative about this company, products, opportunity, etc. The responses were helpful in their skepticism and in guidance toward other business analysis tools, they were skeptical of the claims of Trivita as I expected, but nobody told me that Trivita is a scam or that they have been ripped off by Michael Ellison or that the products are just more snake oil. In fact, I believe that I was able to find a satisfactory answer to every objection and question they raised. Read it for yourself!

Finally, I wanted to analyze THE MAJOR QUESTION and the point to all my research: Can I make money with Trivita? I'll discuss this in my next post.....
