Product Fair and Opportunity Meeting Featuring John Teng in Canada

A special Sunrider® Product Fair and Opportunity Meeting featuring John Teng, North American Sales Manager, was held in Winnipeg (Sep. 28), Regina (Sep. 29) and Vancouver (Sep. 30). Over 200 people attended and witnessed the Sunrider difference. Attendees at the Vancouver meeting had a special surprise as they entered the newly renovated Sunrider Canada Office.

The Opportunity Meeting featuring John Teng unveiled the newly revamped IBO Opportunity Presentation, which focuses on Sunrider’s solution of balance for wellness and income potential. The participants were captivated by John’s unique, motivational yet simple way of conveying the presentation, and many said time flew by without their realizing it.

Several leaders shared Sunrider success stories and the impact it’s had on their life. The evening concluded with special recognition of several newly qualified Business Leaders. Sunriders left the meetings feeling inspired, energized, well informed, and ready to share the Sunrider Opportunity.

Here are some of the comments from Sunriders:

“It was a pleasure and honour to have John Teng come to Winnipeg. John presented the Sunrider IBO Opportunity Presentation with gusto. The response to last night's meeting has been very positive and we do want John Teng to come back to Manitoba.” Gail Holder, Winnipeg

“John was simply excellent in presenting the new Sunrider IBO Opportunity Presentation. People that I asked had very positive comments about the evening. He is very skilled in his delivery of information.” Diane Haryett, Regina

“The meeting sure stroked the fire in everyone. I've had many emails from my group and new people (Tim and I had 10 new people there) and they loved the presentation and really understood that Sunrider is set apart from other companies by many important factors and most of all because of our Philosophy of Regeneration®.” Sheryl Fitzharris,Vancouver

‘The Sixth Element’ in the Philosophy of Regeneration

Hi, I’m James Moore and I work in the International Department at Sunrider. I deal mostly with our franchise operations in Asia writing various sales, marketing, and operational training material for our store owners.
I often review Dr. Chen’s trainings and speeches to learn more from the master behind Sunrider’s business and products. I suggest you periodically review Dr. Chen’s conference calls, Business Updates, speeches, etc. as well. Upon one such review, I came across a gem of wisdom that I had forgotten about. I recommend it to you.

The Sixth Element
“The sixth element in the Philosophy of Regeneration® is the skin, the largest organ in the body. Your skin breathes, perspires, and absorbs nutrition—it’s amazing. But most skin care companies out there, no matter the brand, have a philosophy of treating your skin like a piece of cloth to paint on. Oil paintings created on canvas require the canvas to be stretched and treated with a mineral oil primer to stabilize it. This strategy is how many skin care companies treat your skin. They offer petroleum and mineral oil based skin care. These large molecules cover your skin so your skin cannot breathe properly.

“Most cosmetics, including mineral makeup, are so strong that they stay on your face through rain or a dip in the pool. You can’ even wash it off with simple soap, but instead have to use industrial-grade chemicals to dissolve the paint on your face. A lot of women can’t wait to go home to take off their makeup because they are tired and their skin is crying for relief. This causes the skin to age so quickly, but in Sunrider we are totally different because we know that your skin is the sixth element. It’s alive, so we do not use petroleum by-products or mineral oils and mineral waxes. Instead, we use fine vegetables oils, but not just any vegetable oil—we use those with small molecules that allow your skin to perspire and breathe. We enhance the beauty, but not by killing the skin.

“Our Kandesn® skin care products contain ingredients like hyaluronic acid (“HA”). You are born with about 15 grams of hyaluronic acid. Each molecule of HA has the ability to trap 3,000 water molecules. As you age, you lose HA. For years, people didn’t know how to stop the loss of HA and collagen because collagen will not replenish unless the skin hurts. That’s why facialists use ultrasonic lasers to damage the skin, hoping that the body will replace the collagen.
“But in Sunrider we are different. We spend millions of dollars in our research and development. Other companies sell products with HA, collagen, vitamin C, but their versions of the molecules are so large that your skin can’t use them. When you try our special treatments, or even our hand & body lotions, you’ll notice that your skin feels moisturized on the outside and inside. We use certain parts of peptides and amino acid chains that are most effective for moisturizing your skin. Instead of undergoing skin-destructive lasers to produce collagen, you can use Dr. Chen® Refining & Lifting Cream for plump, smooth looking skin.

“Sunrider has a complete system for preserving your youth and beauty. We have beverages, foods, and supplements that take care of you from the inside and skin care products that take care of you from the outside. It’s time to re-categorize Sunrider as a company for anyone who cares about looking and staying young.”

New IBO Presentation Excites Sunriders

North American Sales Manager John Teng recently visited Missoula, MT, and Salt Lake City, UT, to hold Sunrider meetings utilizing the revamped IBO Presentation. The presentation, which was debuted on September 9 and is now live on the Training Website, focuses on problems facing Americans today and explains Sunrider’s solution to a balanced body and balanced budget.

Those who came to the meetings had the opportunity to see John use the presentation and learn how to incorporate it into their own Sunrider events.

With overwhelmingly positive reviews from both cities, we thought we’d share some of the presentation praise.

From Missoula:
“Everyone really enjoyed both the Product Fair and the all-new presentation with the focus on the Philosophy of Regeneration®…The new presentation clearly speaks to the potential Customer and how Sunrider can address every need in our life.” Nancy Donahue


“During the almost 20 years in Sunrider, we have realized several of our ‘hearts desires’ in some of the most delightful ways, including sharing [Sunrider] and helping people improve their health, and, if they chose, their financial situation.” Denny Guenzler

“Thanks, John, for visiting us once again in Missoula, MT! The Wednesday evening Opportunity Meeting and Product Fair were enjoyable for all. People enjoyed tasting NuPuffs®, SunBars, and VitaShake® smoothies, as well as seeing SunSmile® Fruit & Vegetable Rinse, Kandesn®, and SunBreeze® demonstrations. People always enjoy tasting and seeing Sunrider’s wonderful products. Randy and I certainly enjoyed seeing the new IBO presentation. It is a nice balance between product, business, and Sunrider’s Philosophy of Regeneration®. Thanks to the team that worked so hard to put this together. I hope many Sunriders use this new tool; it is easy and very self explanatory.” Marsha & Randy Turner

“John's sincere desire for our achievement and for our input and ideas was felt as he shared the new presentation with us…I and others from my group are refreshed to see a presentation that really points out what Sunrider offers in a well-rounded way. The new IBO Presentation simply shares what makes Sunrider's products so significantly superior and it presents how easy Sunrider's business is to achieve by simply and consistently sharing. I like how various topics (with nice hints of humor) in the presentation show common concerns that easily make great conversation pieces for sharing Sunrider with friends and acquaintances…I look forward to sharing this presentation and seeing how many others will enjoy being able to share with others too. It really opens the door to share the best.” Kezia Coon

From Salt Lake City:
“Congratulations must go to John Teng who joined us in Salt Lake City last evening and presented a lively and invigorating presentation to an enthusiastic and excellent crowd…The room was full to capacity with many people having traveled many miles to attend. We are still getting phone calls from Sunriders telling us they were so pleased with John's presentation, exclaiming that it was the best they had ever heard on Sunrider business…The good part of watching John present was now we have the live presentation in mind which is very empowering as we duplicate this ourselves, having seen a professional do it.” May Mortensen

“We traveled from Rigby, ID, which is about three and one half hours each way, to hear John give us the new IBO Presentation… I believe that Sunrider provides, without question, the SAFEST and BEST products available in the world today and provides an outstanding business opportunity in a down economy. We are excited about the reduced prices and the simplified marketing plan which should make it easy for anyone to share. We have developed a new motto: If you want to live the good life with a balanced body and a balanced budget, and want everyone else to enjoy it also, then share SUNRIDER with everyone.”
Rilla Spaulding




"I have always believed that people buy on emotion and then justify that purchase on the supporting facts.  This presentation helps people connect their needs, wants, or problems with Sunrider’s solutions…and then gives the facts as to why it is a good decision. Great presentation. Having a simple presentation that everyone can give or have access to just makes building business that much easier and duplicable." Paul Jensen




Get your hands on the new IBO Presentation and see for yourself what the rave reviews are all about! You can find it online at Sunrider’s one-stop resource shop—the Training Website.

Federal Trade Commission Puts the Squeeze on 'Super Juice' Company

There’s been a surging tide of “super juice” companies flooding the MLM marketplace the past few years. Many of these companies are purporting cures for different diseases and conditions, making misleading, often completely unsubstantiated claims about the supposed health-boosting benefits of their juice formulations. 

In the interest of consumer protection, certain watchdog groups and government agencies are addressing the situation by taking an increasingly hard-line approach to companies making dubious or controversial claims. Recently, for example, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) issued an administrative complaint charging the makers of a well-known pomegranate juice company and its sister corporation with violating federal law and making deceptive disease prevention and treatment claims, including “making false and unsubstantiated claims that their products will prevent or treat heart disease, prostate cancer, and erectile dysfunction.” (To read the full article, click here.)

This incident once again brings to light the importance of company credibility, solid research & development, and owner expertise—all proven attributes of Sunrider International that differentiate it from flash-in-the pan companies merely out to make a quick dollar through deceptive advertising and capitalizing on the latest fads.

Always ahead of the curve in innovation, Sunrider has been making true “super juice” products for over 25 years. The herbs we use provide our products with natural antioxidants and bioflavonoids, and are very high in phytochemicals, which are the essence or “energy” of the herbs. Our advanced manufacturing processes ensure that our products (for example Evergreen® and Sunrider VitaFruit®) are many more times concentrated than typical so-called “super juices” on the market.

As Dr. Chen has said, “Other ‘exotic’ juices on the market like wheatgrass, noni, mangosteen, and acai berry juice are just regular, inexpensive juices in their native lands like orange or apple juice. And most of the juices on the market are not specially concentrated and are basically composed of water, flavoring, and sugar; drinks that you could even make at home yourself.”

In contrast to this, Sunrider hand-cleans and processes the raw herbs. Then, we extract and concentrate the essences using a new, advanced counter-current technology developed by Dr. Chen. Finally, we remove the water or spray dry the concentrated essences or “juice” onto other finely ground herbs.

Sunrider® products are unique and superior because we have the experience, expertise, and trade-secret technology to extract and concentrate the essences of the herbs, of which only the finest are used. Sunrider "super juices" are potent, made from whole food sources, immediately digestible, and of the highest quality.
