Canadian Business Call Summary

From Univera Canada,

We hope you were able to join us yesterday, November 2, on an exciting Canadian Business Call, hosted by North America President Rich Razgaitis, who shared some tremendous information with everyone about the state of the business, products, and what to look forward to in the coming months.

But we understand many of you are busy, so here is a quick wrap-up of the conference call, which also featured Chief Scientific Officer Stephen Cherniske, Univera Canada General Manager Bijan Movafegh, and Univera Canada Sales & Marketing Director Rob Park.

Rich shared some preliminary numbers for both Canada and North America:

  • Convenience Plan numbers remain stable in October, compared to September
  • Daily sales in Canada increased by 10% in October, over September
  • Customer Enrollment comparable to September
  • Associate Enrollments up 110% in October, compared to September

Putting that into context, Rich pointed out that the industry in general is still down about 18% in enrollments, but for Univera North America in October, our enrollments actually doubled.

While month-end numbers are still being crunched, Rich lauded all the Associates for a great month of hard work and affirmed Univera's commitment to seeing that the Canadian market has all the resources needed to grow and expand. "We completely and firmly believe that Canada has the potential and will double or triple in size in the next year or two."

Next, Rob Park gave listeners more information about Univera Canada (formerly Matol), its long history of successes, and current resources available to supporting Univera's plans for growth in the country, including:

  • Staff of 20-25 people - a majority of whom have more than 15 years experience in the industry to provide impeccable customer service
  • International experience in more than 10 countries
  • Executive staff skilled in Canadian market and regulatory agencies
  • East/West distribution centers to optimize shipping and avoid past issues such as frozen products

Additionally, Univera Canada's Montreal offices also provide a great training facility with a 130-person capacity that Associates in the area are encouraged to use. The Montreal offices, like those in Lacey, Wash., also provide home office tours, so please take advantage of them.

"Overall, we're here to listen, we want to work with you and assist you to help you build your Canadian business," he said.

Bijan echoed Rob's comments and added that between the individuals currently working at the Montreal offices, they boast more than 300 years of experience in the industry. "We know the rules and regulations, especially in Canada. We know how to provide statistics and detailed information for Health Canada. We are getting ready for our transition, and you can be assured that we will make it as smooth as possible so that you don't feel any pain when this thing happens. We are here to serve you."

Stephen next came on the call to give the Canadian Associates all the details they need to start promoting two new products just launched in Canada today: Florasterol and the L'initie Complete Hydrating System. Supplementing with Florasterol is a safe way to maintain healthy cholesterol, and L'initie - working both internally via a capsule and externally via a moisturizing cream - is optimal hydration support for your skin. L'initie also makes an excellent Christmas gift!

Rich also reminded everyone that in addition to these new products, PRIME-C, and MetaGreens are available in Canada, which are great ways to maintain optimal immune competence, according to Stephen. The last two products yet to make it across the border are Rhythmatix and Super Immune, but Rich assured everyone that it is making its way over there soon, so stay tuned.

Rich ended the call with a reminder about the ongoing Fall 2009 Road Tour that is making numerous stops in cities across North America. The Executive Team, including Rich, Stephen, Rob, CEO Regan Miles, and Director of Sales, U.S.A. Meredith Berkich will be making appearances at many of your regular meetings in November and December to support your efforts in taking advantage of the 2nd Half Matching Bonus. Check your Corporate office calendar for details.

Stay tuned for launch dates of U.S. products.

Florasterol
Manage your cholesterol naturally.

On a typical day, a person of about 150 pounds is able to synthesize about 35 mg of cholesterol. However, the typical daily dietary intake, in the United States and societies with similar dietary patterns, is 200-300 mg. Therefore, managing cholesterol levels already within the normal range is critical for overall heart health. Florasterol is a unique formulation of several studied and proven cholesterol-benefiting nutrients including Guggulipid®, derived from the mukul myrr tree and used in ancient Ayurvedic medicine. Guggulipid has been shown in numerous clinical studies to support healthy cholesterol levels.

Florasterol also contains artichoke extract which helps maintain cholesterol levels already within the normal range, and maitake, a medicinal mushroom shown to promote proper lipid metabolism in the liver. Florasterol delivers some of nature’s best ingredients targeted toward effective cholesterol management.

  • Supports healthy cholesterol levels already within the normal range*
Rhythmatix
Help your heart beat strong.

The average heart beats 70 times per minute. Each of the 1,000 or so times in a day that your heart is able to pump blood around your body, it is also helping to deliver vital nutrients and oxygen and repair damage.

Rhythmatix, Univera’s cardio complex contains UniBEX™, a proprietary and patented extract derived from bamboo leaf that supports cardiovascular health and healthy blood circulation. UniBEX was discovered by Univera’s sister company Unigen, which has invested more than three years and hundreds of thousands of dollars researching this new landmark ingredient.

Rhythmatix combines essential heart-healthy resveratrol, a key active ingredient that is found in red wine, EPA and DHA from omega-3 essential fatty acids derived from fish oil, along with coenzyme Q10. Rhythmatix is truly an unique and all-natural solution to help you keep your heart beating strong.

  • Supports cardiovascular health*
  • Promotes good circulation*
  • Helps to maintain healthy vein structure*
Super Immune
New and improved formulation!

Super Immune is now stronger than ever with the addition of two new ingredients, Cat’s Claw (Uncaria tomentosa) and Eleuthero (Siberian Ginseng) that provide optimal, multi-layer support for your body's defenses to better protect you.*

This formulation also contains Reishi mushroom extract (Ganoderma lucidum) and increased potency levels of Astragalus and Schisandra chinensis – traditional immune-enhancing herbs with historical and scientific data validating their effectiveness – to boost and support your body’s natural immune system.*

  • Supports and strengthens the immune system*
  • Helps cope with physical and emotional stresses*
  • Aids in protecting cells*

The Fall is Upon Us ......think immune!

Health Technology Resources, Inc. Immune News

We are pleased to announce that the fully peer-reviewed Chinese Journal of Disease Control and Prevention has chosen to publish our study of Ai/E10 titled "A Study of the Effects of Oral Dietary Supplemenation of Ai/E10 Upon Natural Killer Cell Activity in a Healthy Human Population" in its December, 2009 edition. The article will also appear in English on the Journal's English language web site.

.......think immune!

The Fall is Upon Us
Scottsdale, AZ September, 2009

This year there is more interest in maintaining immunity worldwide than at any time in the past. Our "Immune News" mailing list largely contains people who understand the importance of maintaining immunity and have an interest in dietary supplementation to support that understanding. We are so pleased to report that new people, in large numbers, are coming to this understanding everyday. The distribution of products containing Ai/E10 continues to expand worldwide as awareness of the benefits of supplementation grow and the desire and need for maintaining immunity expands.

Please remember it is very important to take Ai/E10 everyday, all year long. Supporting your immune system is a full-time activity, but it is especially important when you are experiencing additional stress and other health challenges such as those we face today and those that present themselves going into the Fall and Winter....especially this year.

......think immune!

How is Ai/E10 Performance Measured?

The performance of Ai/E10 is most effectively measured by looking at several factors that have been studied in clinical trials and laboratory studies. All Ai/E10 studies have been performed with serving sizes like the ones that are in the products. Surprisingly, many other supplements are studied in serving sizes significantly larger than those which are suggested for use.Ai/E10 consistently elevates monocytes, granulocytes and lymphocytes more effectively than any other product. Its further ability to help balance or "modulate" immune activity makes it right for everyone and demonstrates its benefits are not simply "stimulatory" as with nearly all other immune products.

Lastly, remember that NK cell production occurs towards the end of an immune cascade. Nothing works better than Ai/E10 to produce increases in "relevant" NK cell activity measured by the true standard in this regard...."Lytic Units." That's a real good performance measure in itself.

Taking a supplement containing Ai/E10 everyday will help give your immune system the support it needs. Please partake of the wealth of information available at www.aie10.com.
