Report on the Dissolution of Multi-Vitamin Tablets
Abstract:
Absorption is an essential element in determining the efficacy of a multi-vitamin preparation. Historically, vitamin and mineral supplements have been administered as tablets which are swallowed whole. The tablet then travels down the alimentary canal, passing through the esophagus and into the stomach, where it comes into contact with highly acidic digestive juices. The stomach is generally emptied in about 1 hour. From there, it passes to the small intestine, which consists of the duodenum, jejunum and ileum. The jejunum and ileum are the primary sites for absorption of nutrients. As a general rule, if the nutrients have not been absorbed by the time they pass out of the ileum, they will be passed from the body as waste.
The purpose of this study was to examine the breakdown and dissolution of five of the leading brands of multi-vitamin tablets using a "dissolution test" as suggested by the American Medical Association1 and described in detail by Mason et al.2
Materials and Methods:
Five of the leading national brands of multi-vitamin tablet were selected for the study. These were: Brand 1 (for all ages groups), Brand 2 (from the same company, but designed for seniors), and Brands 3, 4, and 5 (each designed for all age groups).
In each test, one tablet of each brand was placed in either water (25 ml at 25C) or white distilled vinegar (25 ml at 25C). The flask was gently shaken at 5 minute intervals over a period of 1 hour. The appearance of the mass of the tablet and the solution were observed and noted throughout the course of the experiment. Tests were repeated 4 - 6 times.
Results:
Tablet appearance:
Brand 1: Pale orange oval; Brand 2: Silver oval; Brand 3: Bright red shiny oval; Brand 4: Pale green oval with dark flecks; Brand 5: Bright red shiny round.
Disintegration in Water:
All test tablets exhibited varying degrees of disintegration, with Brand 1 performing the best, with disintegration occurring within 2 minutes, by which time the solid mass accumulated at the bottom of the reaction vessel was no longer recognizable as an oval tablet. All other Brands, while partially disintegrated, still retained evidence of their original "tablet outline" after 30 minutes, with the order of recognition being, Brand 3 most recognizable to Brand 4 to Brand 2 to Brand 5 - which was almost unrecognizable as a tablet. The disintegration of ALL tablets in the water was accompanied by the liberation of varying amounts of a gas (effervescence) - most likely carbon dioxide. After 1 hour the bottom of each vessel contained a thick precipitate. The water above the precipitate was milky white for brands 1 and 2, clear for brand 3, pale yellow solution for brand 4, and thick red suspension for brand 5.
Disintegration in Vinegar:
Again, all tablets exhibited varying degrees of disintegration, and again Brand 1 performed the best, although slower than in water. Disintegration occurred within 3 minutes. All other Brands had disintegrated within 60 minutes. The effervescence liberated from Brand 4 was extreme, leading to foaming on the surface of the liquid. The effervescence from Brand 2 and 5 was also moderately vigorous. After 1 hour the bottom of each reaction vessel contained a thick precipitate. The vinegar above the precipitate was milky yellow for brands 2 and 4, almost clear, milky white for Brand 1, clear for Brand 3, and thick red for Brand 5. The precipitates at the bottom of the reaction vessels were primarily chalky white with, as for the water test, flecks of reds and browns.
Discussion:
The purpose of this study was to examine the breakdown of five leading brands of multi-vitamin tablet, using the well-known "vinegar test"1, 2, which mimics the acidic environment of the human stomach. Detailed practical procedures for testing the bioavailability of nutritional components of multi-vitamin formulations have been described by Srinivasan5.
Numerous reports have recently appeared describing the fact that some tablets can pass through the entire human digestive system without either dissolving or disintegrating. In fact, un-dissolved tablets are frequently observed on x-rays of the human body3, which can lead to complications in the diagnosis of certain ailments unless the physician is fully aware of the potential for this to occur.
In addition, serious concerns have been voiced over the fact that essential nutrients and medications may not be fully bioavailable to the user due to failures of dissolution. This failure to dissolve can have serious and far-reaching consequences6,7.
The primary function of the digestive system is to break down the complex molecules present in food into small nutrient molecules that are then absorbed and utilized by the body. This process is achieved through the action of digestive juices which can be acidic or enzymatic in nature. Once absorbed by this route, nutrients are rapidly transported to the liver, where they can undergo metabolism and destruction before ever reaching their site of action (so-call "first pass metabolism")4.
The ingredient listings for the test tablets included such non-nutrient ingredients (excipients) as calcium carbonate (the chemical name for chalk), cellulose (wood fiber), acacia gum, colorings (FD&C Blue No 2 Lake, FD&C Red No 40 Lake, FD&C Yellow No 6 Lake), lactose (which can cause severe problems for those that are lactose intolerant), and carnauba wax (which is the same material found in high quality car polishes), to name but a few. The purpose of these materials is to provide substance to the tablet and help it to stick together and look good. Materials such as the colorants will most likely pass through your body unchanged, which can lead to the false belief that the product is working. These materials serve no nutritional function and it has even been suggested that they can cause allergic reaction. We also noted that one sample of a leading brand was manufactured in China, while two others did not mention their country of origin.
When placed in vinegar, three of the samples exhibited extreme effervescence (liberation of carbon dioxide). This is probably due to the reaction of a material such as bicarbonate with the acidic vinegar, and is probably the means the tablet makers use in order to ensure that the tablet disintegrates. This effect would also occur in the human body, most likely resulting in severe discomfort as gas builds up in the stomach. The observation of effervescence may help to explain the stomach pain felt by many people after swallowing multi-vitamin tablets.
In all tests, the tablets failed to dissolve. The residues were generally gray/white with globules of other colored material interspersed. These globules were most likely oil soluble material such as beta-carotene. All samples, both in water and vinegar, exhibited a scum on the top of the liquid. The liquid above the solid mass varied in color and composition from almost clear (Brand 3, vinegar and water), through a pale yellow solution (Brand 4, water) to a thick red emulsion (Brand 5, vinegar and water).
Summary and Conclusions:
Nutrient molecules must be in solution, i.e. fully dissolved, in order for absorption to occur. All tests performed with leading brands of multi-vitamin supplement tablets demonstrated that the tablets disintegrated to varying degrees, but they did not dissolve. The disintegration resulted in the appearance of a thick, chalky precipitate. The AMA suggests that if a tablet does not dissolve after 30 minutes, then it is probably not dissolving in the stomach and is not being absorbed1.
Further Information
Additional Study performed by Brookson and Associates
Based on the above results, an independent laboratory analyzed the elapsed time from ingestion to breakdown and release of active and waste ingredients in the three leading multivitamin pills. After two hours the pH level was increased to simulate the pills' passage from the stomach into the digestive tract.
In this study the independent testing laboratory identified the number and type of waste materials in the top three competitive vitamin pills which must be flushed from the body.
Waste/filler-type ingredients ranged between 45.5% and 69% of each pill/gel in the top 3 brands. The waste/fillers that were found:
· Milk/sugar fillers
· Gum
· Coating
· Glue
· Lubricants
· Wax
· Plasticizer
· Sand
· Yellow and red dye
After 2 hours in the system, pills and gels become ineffective. The undissolved waste portions of the pills are then flushed from the system. Note that the elapsed time for breakdown of the top three brands was a minimum of two hours or more.
One product did stand out and it had none of the waste/fillers that have been listed. It also had none of the problems with dissolving and absorption because of its one-of-a-kind delivery system. The product is VitaMist spray vitamins.

Test it yourself Vitamin Test
This simple test allows you to test the rate at which various brands of vitamin pills dissolve and are absorbed by the body.
Vitamin Pill Absorption Test
1. Place a vitamin pill in a shallow, clear container.
2. Next, pour enough white table vinegar into the container so that the pill is completely covered. (A test standard as set by the American Medical Association.)
3. After you've poured the vinegar into the container, set a timer for one-half hour (30 mins).
4. After one-half hour has passed, check the container and look at the vitamin pill. How much of pill has dissolved? (By dissolved, we mean has the pill disappeared in the vinegar, the way sugar or salt "disappears" in water).
What does the pill look like?
Can you still see the outline of the pill's original shape?
Is the white vinegar still clear, or has it become cloudy from the pill's dyes and fillers?
5. If the vitamin pill hasn't broken down completely and become part of the vinegar solution in thirty minutes, the nutrients it contains are probably not getting absorbed in your digestive tract. The undissolved parts of the pill will be flushed from your system, and the nutrients in it will be wasted

Thanks for the extra energy from Vitamist Spray Vitamins
After spending the better part of 4 hours shoveling the 12 inches of snow from my driveway I have to thank the B-12 500 for the extra energy to continue to shovel. I am also not feeling any pain because of the Re-Leaf which helps with pain. Now I can't wait until spring so I don't have to shovel!!!

Health Tips for today
VitaMist Health Tip
How many times have you heard the term "B-Complex"? Probably thousands.
For this week's health tip we are giving you some information about what this term means and also some tips about the benefits of certain "B-complex" vitamins.
To some people, the name suggests that "B-Complex" is one very complicated vitamin, but this is not the case. There are actually eight B vitamins that are in the B complex, as well as a few other related substances. The eight vitamins that make up the B complex are thiamine or vitamin B1, riboflavin or vitamin B2, niacin or vitamin B3, pyridoxine or vitamin B6, cobalamine or vitamin B12, folic acid, pantothenic acid and biotin. The other related substances that are also in the B complex vitamin include choline, inositol and para-aminobenzoic acid.
Every part of the B complex vitamin performs its own individual function within the body. Because the B complex comprises vitamins which are water soluble it is essential that enough of these vitamins are consumed on a daily basis. The body cannot store water soluble vitamins such as the B complex and this leads to a regular intake being required.
The vitamins of the B complex are extremely beneficial for a number of conditions and may be needed in additional quantities at certain times in a person's life.
Many people suffer from anxiety and stress at one time or another and research has found that B complex vitamins can be beneficial in helping alleviate the symptoms of anxiety and stress (VitaMist D-Stress), and if a person has been unwell the B complex can be extremely valuable in aiding the recovery process.
Fatigue can be a symptom of a multitude of illnesses as well as simply overdoing things, but again, the B vitamins (VitaMist B12) can help alleviate general tiredness and lethargy.
Interestingly, some skin conditions, such as dermatitis, and also the condition of the hair, can benefit from B complex vitamin intake, and making sure you get a good intake of B-vitamins on a daily basis may help alleviate these conditions (VitaMist Multiple).

The VitaMist Business Opportunity
WE'RE NOT JUST A COMPANY...
WE'RE A WAY OF LIFE
Thank you for your interest in VitaMist. The following will give you a brief overview of one of the fastest growing companies of the decade. The overview will include information about timing and trends, the company, the product, the compensation and marketing plans, and also training and support. After reviewing the information, I think you will understand why many experts are calling VitaMist the FINANCIAL OPPORTUNITY OF THE DECADE.
(I am looking for five key people who want to make serious money. Some VitaMist people in the past have made in excess of $30,000 a month. I am expanding my business in this area, and need leaders to help manage, teach and train these groups. While I can't promise you anything until you have reviewed ALL the information and we can have an educated conversation, these leaders could make a substantial monthly income in the next 2-5 years. I am filling these positions NOW? Tomorrow could be too late).
Let me tell you what VitaMist has done for us and what VitaMist can offer you.
When most people are asked "What would you like to change in your life", or "What would you like more of", most everyone responds with one of three answers - Money, Time, or Control. That's exactly what VitaMist is about:
Money...
Maybe all you're looking for is an extra $200 to $300 a month to ease the pressure of household bills. Or, perhaps you're looking for a way to earn an extra $1,000 a month part-time and not affect what you're currently doing. How would an extra $2,000 a month enhance your lifestyle? Maybe a new car, boat, travel, send a child to college.. maybe a second home. There are also many people who are searching for a career change. Maybe the thought of their JOB (Just Above Broke) for 40 years to retire at 50%-75% income does not appeal to someone who, committing themselves for 2 to 5 years, can reach their goal of making $5,000, $10,000, $20,000 a month, or more. No matter what your financial needs, VitaMist can be that vehicle.
Time....
We read a lot about vacations, time with the kids, or maybe relaxing one day reading a good book, but never seem to find the time. For some reason, making ends meet always gets in the way. Today's households are usually two income families, where time is most precious. Maybe you just want to buy back some time. Time to spend with your family, watch your children grow up, time to spend on the golf course, at the beach, or travel Europe. What would you do if you never had to work again? Where would you spend your Time? Who would you spend it with?
Control...
How about your current lifestyle? Are you at work at eight, coffee at 10:15, lunch at 12, leave at 4:30, go home, eat, watch the boob tube, or go to your second job, and start all over again the next morning. Sound familiar? What would happen if you called your boss and said you decided to take a month off for a vacation? Where would you be if your boss said you had to work all weekend, and you said no you couldn't, it's your little girls birthday? Most people would love to have 100% control of their own life, with no one telling them when to be at work, what time to go to lunch, or when to go home. Vacation three or six months of the year and sleep to the crack of noon if you like. How about a 30 second stroll from your bedroom to your office, before you got dressed. That's called taking control of your life. And, the timing couldn't be better! It has always been said, if you are in the right place at the right time, your fortune will be made!
Why Now ... Timing....
Well, you couldn't be in a better place at a better time. VitaMist is being called the company of the millennium. Why? Timing! Three things make the timing right for VitaMist. The economy, the network marketing industry and the baby boomers.
Economy...
Despite all the current news, our economy is fundamentally strong and Corporate America is realizing some of their most profitable years. However, restructuring, downsizing, right sizing, or what I call it, capsizing, have become household words. Imagine when you're 40 and are told "Sorry". Not only that, but college graduates worry whether they will find a job in their chosen field, or whether they will be going to "McDonalds" college. But, there is one industry sector that is recession-proof, and that is vitamins and nutritional supplements. The New York Times even said that "while the economy is down, vitamin sales are up". There is also one business segment that is exploding, and that's the home-based business segment. Over 8,000 people per day start a home based business (Social Marketing). That's one every 11 seconds. John Nesbitt, in his book, Mega Trends, predicted it over a decade ago. He predicted that hundreds of thousands of people would leave corporate America, and while some would be forced out, others would leave by choice in search of financial freedom and security. The average home-based business today makes $50,250 a year, where the average income in New York, as quoted in NY Newsday, is about $28,000 per year. US Government statistics point out that 90% of those who start traditional businesses fail in the first five years, 90% of those who start a home-based business succeed. And, the timing couldn't be better, because the fastest growing home-based business today is Network Distribution/ Social Marketing.
The Industry...
The social marketing industry is now growing faster than ever before. It's the fastest and most economical way of taking a product from a manufacturer to the consumer. Small business bankruptcies have reached record numbers in the past 10 years, while the direct sales industry or network marketing industry has grown at the rate of 20 to 30% per year. You can purchase virtually any product you like through Network Marketing; clothing, jewelry, household goods, gasoline, electric goods, phone service, even automobiles. Most major corporations are using Network Marketing to distribute their products, including Sprint, Gillette, Coca Cola, and Colgate Palmolive, just to name a few. There are currently over 2,700 network marketing Companies. Over 45,000 people per week join network marketing - people just like you, looking for money, time and control.
Baby Boomers....Trends
Faith Popcorn, in her book "The Popcorn Report" in the 90s, and Paul Zane Pilzer in 2007, said that if you're going to make money in up-coming years and beyond, you've got to find out what the baby boomers want and cater to them. They are 140 million people between the ages of 40-64 and 65 and over, according to the world-renowned futurist and economist. They are also the largest buying segment in the world today. One thing the Baby Boomers want - they all want to look younger, feel younger live longer and age gracefully. An example of how the Baby Boomers affect trends - a small company in the Mid-West took a chance at the end of WW II and decided that all of the servicemen coming home would create a rise in births. They expanded their business nationwide and became one of the largest suppliers of baby food - Gerbers. The boomers grew older and the hula-hoop became an overnight success - why - the Baby Boomers. As these boomers became young teenagers, they did not want to drive around in their fathers station wagon. At the same time, recognizing the opportunity of timing and trends, a forward thinking leader in a major auto company designed an inexpensive sporty car which caught the boomers eye, the Ford Mustang. Lee Iacoca did it again with Chrysler, when he noticed that the boomers were getting older and had kids of their own, and needed something bigger than the sport cars. The birth of the mini-van! Today, those baby boomers are reaching the age where they wish to age gracefully and look & feel younger, live longer, and are driving the market place to new heights. At the same time, VitaMist has introduced product lines that not only meet the needs of the Baby Boomers, VitaMist is creating a paradigm shift in the same market.
Why VitaMist - The Company...
VitaMist Ltd is the consumer marketing division of Mayor Pharmaceutical Laboratories, Inc. Mayor has demonstrated success, profitability and technological leadership for the past 26 years. The corporate headquarters, in Phoenix, Arizona, are adjacent to the Company's ultra modern manufacturing plant and state of the art R & D facilities allowing constant quality control, plus everything is made here in the USA. In addition to its strong financial foundation, Mayor Pharmaceutical has an excellent reputation built upon many years of marketing high quality products to the medical field. Today, you have the benefits of a ground floor opportunity in a totally new marketing program and the comfort of knowing the parent Company is strong, secure and reliable. VitaMist is a debt free, financially secure, cash rich, privately held company.
The Products....
VitaMist's phenomenal growth is attributed to its unique products. The products are part of a $33 billion a year industry that the experts predict (because of the ageing baby boomers) will hit $100 billion in the next 10 years. VitaMist is creating what we call a paradigm shift in the OTC pharmaceutical industry. Some of you may be old enough to remember those 78 rpm bakelite platters that people used to listen to music on. They were before the vinyl records. When the eight track tape players came out, no one would believe you could get good music from a tape, much less a small plastic disk! Imagine someone back then seeing a DVD with a whole movie on it! That is a paradigm shift. How many Microwave ovens do you have? My grandmother did not believe they would get anywhere.
VitaMist is doing that to the over-the-counter market today. Never has a product been introduced that has the impact that our product line is having on the "PILL" market. How many people do you know that have trouble taking pills? The explosion in the nutritional, health, sports, weight management and skin care business can be seen every day. The fastest growing franchise in the world is GNC. You see people coming out of those stores with bag's full of products, and by GNC's own flyer, they spend an average of $120/month there. All created by the baby-boomers in their search for products that will let them live longer, look and feel better. VitaMist has introduced a line of OTC products that are in the Oral Spray form, which is revolutionizing the way people take their vitamins and nutrients.
Oral absorption of a product, developed by VitaMist, allows the pleasant tasting vitamins and nutrients to go directly into the blood stream in approximately 30 seconds, bypassing the GI tract. No more swallowing pills. This method of delivery gives us over 90% absorption rate, directly into the blood stream through the cheek, as opposed to only 5-10% with pills, which must go through the digestive system. Pills and gel caps are filled with waxes, talc, binders and fillers to hold them together. Our products are the purest form of natural, herbal and vegetable based vitamins and nutrition available using only USP/NF vitamins. We have been listed in the prestigious Physicians Desk Reference (PDR) for 15 out of 26 years most recently in the 2008 PDR, a book that is considered almost a "bible" by doctors. One of the greatest things about all of this is that we own the PATENT for all spray nutrients, not only in the USA, but in 50 other countries. If all of this is not good enough, we also have a PET line for your best friends. There are about 50 products in all at this time, and we are introducing new products regularly. In fact, our R&D department has about another 15 products being prepared for market. And would you believe our products retail at only $24.97.
Pay Plan...
Now that you have seen a great company, an incredible product line with perfect timing, let's talk about how you make money in VitaMist. When you have the purest form of nutrition in the world and 75% ofall people take vitamins daily (170 million in the USA alone) the product sells like candy. That is the first of many ways to make money in VitaMist . You buy products at wholesale, and sell at retail for a profit margin from 60% up to 131%, when taking advantage of periodic specials.
You don't have to go out and deliver vitamins every month. VitaMist has a direct shipment program where we ship the product every month directly to your customers' door step. And if they buy three or more, we don't charge shipping and handling. IT'S FREE!! Your customers get their product every month with free shipping and handling. PLUS, your customer may be eligable to receive a FREE product of the month. You earn your profit every month, everyone is happy. Another very profitable way to make money in VitaMist is to let others help you sell this product. And, whether you have two people or two thousand people selling for you, you don't pay them anything. They're paid by the company, like you are, whether they sell one product or one thousand products, and you're going to make $3.00 on every tube they sell. You also have an opportunity to make $.50 to $1.50 off anyone that sells for them, and those that sell for them. That's three levels! As your organization begins to grow, the profits become huge. Our True Infinity Plan allows you to make 3-15% on everyone else in your organization.
With a compensation plan like this, you have to make money. What is interesting is the free press VitaMist has received; Dr. Joyce Brothers, Charlton Heston, Miss Arizona choosing VitaMist spray vitamins as her state product, Fox News, and more! VitaMist also keeps you up to date with regular e-mails, our monthly VitaMist View Newsletter, toll-free numbers for order entry and for FAXing applications and orders. VitaMist holds regular conference calls, including one hosted by Dr. Spray and a Saturday training call, that are powerful tools for recruiting. We also have an organization for the Ladies of VitaMist and you can even get your own internet site! Do you see a business opportunity here!
Now is the time we give you the big numbers. Here it comes, its going to empty my bank account you say! Yep,...... it's going to cost you a whopping $24.97! Or, when you agree to a monthly order, for an astronomical $47.88 per month you get three tubes every month, and VitaMist pays the shipping (and you are eligable for a free tube of the Product of the Month). Now for the hard part, do you really wish to do the business seriously? Are you sitting down for this? For those serious about building a home business with VitaMist we have our Buisness Marketing Package. For $225.00 (plus shipping) you get a generous supply of B-12 samples, marketing materials, CD's, DVD's etc. that will get you started. You also get a free self-replicating website and 5 free "Gold Tubes" so that you can participate in our FREE sample program. Do this, and you become part of the biggest opportunity I have ever seen. You are now entitled to go out and build your business, get your product sent to you every month with no shipping and handling with our auto-ship program, and purchase your product at a discount. Now, you're looking at me kind of funny, asking WHAT is so special about 5 "Gold Tubes"? Well, have you ever had a company offer to send out samples to your business prospects for FREE? If you start with our Buisness Marketing Package, the company will send a Gold Tube with a sample of B-12 and literature including a PERSONALIZED letter from you to your prospect, absolutely FREE. They will do this for 5 prospects for you. If you follow through and one becomes a member, the company will do it again for another 5 prospects, and continue this as long as you get one member to join. Do YOU see an opportunity here?

The VitaMist Business Opportunity
WE'RE NOT JUST A COMPANY...
WE'RE A WAY OF LIFE
Thank you for your interest in VitaMist. The following will give you a brief overview of one of the fastest growing companies of the decade. The overview will include information about timing and trends, the company, the product, the compensation and marketing plans, and also training and support. After reviewing the information, I think you will understand why many experts are calling VitaMist the FINANCIAL OPPORTUNITY OF THE DECADE.
(I am looking for five key people who want to make serious money. Some VitaMist people in the past have made in excess of $30,000 a month. I am expanding my business in this area, and need leaders to help manage, teach and train these groups. While I can't promise you anything until you have reviewed ALL the information and we can have an educated conversation, these leaders could make a substantial monthly income in the next 2-5 years. I am filling these positions NOW? Tomorrow could be too late).
Let me tell you what VitaMist has done for us and what VitaMist can offer you.
When most people are asked "What would you like to change in your life", or "What would you like more of", most everyone responds with one of three answers - Money, Time, or Control. That's exactly what VitaMist is about:
Money...
Maybe all you're looking for is an extra $200 to $300 a month to ease the pressure of household bills. Or, perhaps you're looking for a way to earn an extra $1,000 a month part-time and not affect what you're currently doing. How would an extra $2,000 a month enhance your lifestyle? Maybe a new car, boat, travel, send a child to college.. maybe a second home. There are also many people who are searching for a career change. Maybe the thought of their JOB (Just Above Broke) for 40 years to retire at 50%-75% income does not appeal to someone who, committing themselves for 2 to 5 years, can reach their goal of making $5,000, $10,000, $20,000 a month, or more. No matter what your financial needs, VitaMist can be that vehicle.
Time....
We read a lot about vacations, time with the kids, or maybe relaxing one day reading a good book, but never seem to find the time. For some reason, making ends meet always gets in the way. Today's households are usually two income families, where time is most precious. Maybe you just want to buy back some time. Time to spend with your family, watch your children grow up, time to spend on the golf course, at the beach, or travel Europe. What would you do if you never had to work again? Where would you spend your Time? Who would you spend it with?
Control...
How about your current lifestyle? Are you at work at eight, coffee at 10:15, lunch at 12, leave at 4:30, go home, eat, watch the boob tube, or go to your second job, and start all over again the next morning. Sound familiar? What would happen if you called your boss and said you decided to take a month off for a vacation? Where would you be if your boss said you had to work all weekend, and you said no you couldn't, it's your little girls birthday? Most people would love to have 100% control of their own life, with no one telling them when to be at work, what time to go to lunch, or when to go home. Vacation three or six months of the year and sleep to the crack of noon if you like. How about a 30 second stroll from your bedroom to your office, before you got dressed. That's called taking control of your life. And, the timing couldn't be better! It has always been said, if you are in the right place at the right time, your fortune will be made!
Why Now ... Timing....
Well, you couldn't be in a better place at a better time. VitaMist is being called the company of the millennium. Why? Timing! Three things make the timing right for VitaMist. The economy, the network marketing industry and the baby boomers.
Economy...
Despite all the current news, our economy is fundamentally strong and Corporate America is realizing some of their most profitable years. However, restructuring, downsizing, right sizing, or what I call it, capsizing, have become household words. Imagine when you're 40 and are told "Sorry". Not only that, but college graduates worry whether they will find a job in their chosen field, or whether they will be going to "McDonalds" college. But, there is one industry sector that is recession-proof, and that is vitamins and nutritional supplements. The New York Times even said that "while the economy is down, vitamin sales are up". There is also one business segment that is exploding, and that's the home-based business segment. Over 8,000 people per day start a home based business (Social Marketing). That's one every 11 seconds. John Nesbitt, in his book, Mega Trends, predicted it over a decade ago. He predicted that hundreds of thousands of people would leave corporate America, and while some would be forced out, others would leave by choice in search of financial freedom and security. The average home-based business today makes $50,250 a year, where the average income in New York, as quoted in NY Newsday, is about $28,000 per year. US Government statistics point out that 90% of those who start traditional businesses fail in the first five years, 90% of those who start a home-based business succeed. And, the timing couldn't be better, because the fastest growing home-based business today is Network Distribution/ Social Marketing.
The Industry...
The social marketing industry is now growing faster than ever before. It's the fastest and most economical way of taking a product from a manufacturer to the consumer. Small business bankruptcies have reached record numbers in the past 10 years, while the direct sales industry or network marketing industry has grown at the rate of 20 to 30% per year. You can purchase virtually any product you like through Network Marketing; clothing, jewelry, household goods, gasoline, electric goods, phone service, even automobiles. Most major corporations are using Network Marketing to distribute their products, including Sprint, Gillette, Coca Cola, and Colgate Palmolive, just to name a few. There are currently over 2,700 network marketing Companies. Over 45,000 people per week join network marketing - people just like you, looking for money, time and control.
Baby Boomers....Trends
Faith Popcorn, in her book "The Popcorn Report" in the 90s, and Paul Zane Pilzer in 2007, said that if you're going to make money in up-coming years and beyond, you've got to find out what the baby boomers want and cater to them. They are 140 million people between the ages of 40-64 and 65 and over, according to the world-renowned futurist and economist. They are also the largest buying segment in the world today. One thing the Baby Boomers want - they all want to look younger, feel younger live longer and age gracefully. An example of how the Baby Boomers affect trends - a small company in the Mid-West took a chance at the end of WW II and decided that all of the servicemen coming home would create a rise in births. They expanded their business nationwide and became one of the largest suppliers of baby food - Gerbers. The boomers grew older and the hula-hoop became an overnight success - why - the Baby Boomers. As these boomers became young teenagers, they did not want to drive around in their fathers station wagon. At the same time, recognizing the opportunity of timing and trends, a forward thinking leader in a major auto company designed an inexpensive sporty car which caught the boomers eye, the Ford Mustang. Lee Iacoca did it again with Chrysler, when he noticed that the boomers were getting older and had kids of their own, and needed something bigger than the sport cars. The birth of the mini-van! Today, those baby boomers are reaching the age where they wish to age gracefully and look & feel younger, live longer, and are driving the market place to new heights. At the same time, VitaMist has introduced product lines that not only meet the needs of the Baby Boomers, VitaMist is creating a paradigm shift in the same market.
Why VitaMist - The Company...
VitaMist Ltd is the consumer marketing division of Mayor Pharmaceutical Laboratories, Inc. Mayor has demonstrated success, profitability and technological leadership for the past 26 years. The corporate headquarters, in Phoenix, Arizona, are adjacent to the Company's ultra modern manufacturing plant and state of the art R & D facilities allowing constant quality control, plus everything is made here in the USA. In addition to its strong financial foundation, Mayor Pharmaceutical has an excellent reputation built upon many years of marketing high quality products to the medical field. Today, you have the benefits of a ground floor opportunity in a totally new marketing program and the comfort of knowing the parent Company is strong, secure and reliable. VitaMist is a debt free, financially secure, cash rich, privately held company.
