Sunrider Skeptic Turned Success Story

When 33-year old Josh Jarrell’s wife, IBO Kendra Jarrell, first introduced their family to Sunrider, Josh easily replaced a diet soda habit with Calli® and Fortune Delight®, but was stubborn when it came to food. “I was resistant to NuPlus® and Quinary®. I didn’t want to change any part of my diet. My weaknesses were carne asada burritos, sweets, and just food in general—not a good thing for someone 75 lbs. overweight. As a person who can’t stand change, it was very hard to believe what others were telling me about SR. I didn’t want to change,” Josh said.

A year and a half later, Josh got back into motocross (after an accident left him with a broken back), and decided to get serious about his weight and health in order to “ride for fun and not get hurt” in the physically demanding sport. Having already lost 30 lbs. since starting Sunrider, Josh made a new weight loss goal and vowed to cut out more fast food. Josh said, “In February 2009, I began a program consistent with the basics, and I added Tei-Fu™ MetaShaper™ and more Fortune Delight®. I cut out most of the fast food and I haven’t had a carne asada burrito since!”

By the 2009 holiday season, Josh continued losing weight, prompting his wife to buy him new, smaller clothing, and people to comment on his weight loss! Josh also experienced health benefits. Last December, after having blood work done, Josh said, “my cholesterol was low and my liver proteins looked like that of someone much younger than me. The doctor told me for years that I needed to lose weight, but he didn’t make that comment at my last physical. He even removed the obese description from my chart.”

Since coming home from the Mediterranean cruise in May, Josh has experienced a new level of health with his Sunrider regimen, which includes NuPlus®, Quinary®, Calli®, Fortune Delight®, MetaShaper™, Dr. Chen® MetaBooster®, SportCaps®, and VitaTaste®. “I only want to eat good food—fast food and lunch with the guys is not even tempting and I have more energy at the end of the day,” he said.

And Josh is doing better than ever on the motocross track. After a recent ride, Josh said, “I couldn’t believe how I ‘killed it’ at the track. I felt even better than earlier in the year when I thought I was riding at the top of my game! This was after working nine hours as a heavy equipment operator, which is very physically and mentally demanding.” Josh, who used to rely on energy drinks to get him through his long days, has begun making his own Sunrider “energy” drink of Electrosport®, Evergreen®, Fortune Delight® Lemon, and Calli®.

Josh is now down to 199 lbs.—a total loss of 75 lbs!* He said, “I feel like a kid again, and others see the tremendous change in me as well…I have a new weight loss goal of 185 lbs., and I see that as a possibility only with Sunrider. I am now a believer.”

Marketers of Acai Berry Weight-Loss Pills and ‘Colon Cleansers’ Ordered to Stop Deceptive Advertising

A recent article appearing on the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) website reports how a U.S. district court “has ordered the marketers of acai berry supplements, ‘colon cleansers,’ and other products to temporarily halt an Internet sales scheme that allegedly scammed consumers out of $30 million or more in 2009 alone through deceptive advertising and unfair billing practices.”

The Better Business Bureau named phony “free” trial offers—including those for acai supplements—as one of the “Top 10 Scams and Rip Offs of 2009.” David Vladeck, director of the FTC’s Bureau of Consumer Protection, estimates that “about a million people have fallen victim to this scam,” and adds that “there were fake endorsements from celebrities like Oprah Winfrey and Rachael Ray for a product that didn’t work in the first place.”

The FTC charged various companies and two individuals with multiple violations, including “deceptively advertising AcaiPure, an acai berry supplement, as a weight-loss product, and Colopure, a colon cleansing supplement, as an aid for preventing cancer.”

Sunrider knows that in the health food and supplement industry, owner expertise is vital when it comes to evaluating the safety, quality, and effectiveness of the products.

Simple, Duplicable Plan Creates Fast Growth

Karen Spencer Dees, a Golden Group Business Leader from Framingham, Massachusetts, recently put a new approach into place and is experiencing undeniably positive results in her business growth and income. 


Here’s Karen’s story:


As a nutritionist, mother, wife, and Sunrider business owner, I only accept the finest ingredients for the best results. This is why I choose Sunrider. I have loved these products for over 20 years. My family, friends, and clients have all received the wonderful wellness benefits from the foods, the age-defying and youthful benefits of Kandesn® skin care and make up, and the overall health and environmental benefits from our personal care and home care products. This is what Sunrider offers. 


I am equally excited with the opportunity. The concept of “2x2” is so simple and duplicable. The idea of spending $100 per month or $25 per week is such a simple concept. We all spend money on shampoo, toothpaste, supplements, etc., but we are not given a discount or rebate. When I looked at the numbers, the reality sunk in. If a person shared with two people per month the concept of “2x2,” and they duplicated this same concept, then in one year everyone would be making a substantial income. The numbers told the truth. This was very clear and I could teach this quickly and easily to everyone. The products and the duplication would change their lives forever. This offered new hope!  


It’s so simple: If you are currently purchasing products from stores with no discount or reimbursement, and you switch to using our superior brand, Sunrider, you will be compensated for your usage. As you refer other people to Sunrider, you will be financially rewarded.

The new Business Plan and lower prices makes it easy to duplicate Karen’s plan and energize your organization. Remember, our Philosophy of Regeneration® makes our products one-of-a-kind in the market—so get out, start sharing, and see growth. The new Business Plan and lower prices makes it easier than ever.

Simple Steps for Summer Hydration

The summer season is in full swing, which means hot weather, outdoor activities, and the irresistible urge to play in the sun!

As much fun as warm weather activities are, it’s important to remember that certain health risks come along, too—namely, dehydration. Staying hydrated during the summer is essential, especially when temperatures reach the high 90s or triple digits, and if you’re engaged in vigorous activity.

Quick tips for staying hydrated:

Drink plenty of hydrating liquids, such as water or Fortune Delight®, and don’t wait until you are thirsty!

Keep cool with loose-fitting clothing made from light, cotton materials—tight fitting and dark colors hold heat.

When exercising or playing outdoors in the heat, take regular breaks and drink a beverage like Electrosport®—it contains 10 important minerals, including selenium that quickly helps rehydrate the body, and is exclusively formulated for ideal use after a strenuous workout or other vigorous activity.

Many fruits and vegetables are packed with plenty of hydrating liquids and are great as meals and snack options. Evergreen® is a great option, too, as it combines the nourishing aspects of green, leafy vegetables, with the hydrating power of water! Perfect for keeping your body replenished and hydrated during hot summer weather!

Most importantly, don’t over exert yourself in extreme heat. Eat right, drink plenty of fluids, and listen to your body.
