US-Based Sterling Study Confirms the Profound Results of the Freiburg Study!

January 7, 2017 by Melaleuca 1 Comment

In January 2015, Melaleuca announced the results of a groundbreaking clinical study on the Peak Performance Pack. The effects of a nutritional supplementation pack were tested on healthy individuals over the course of 12 weeks. In healthy participants, free radical activity declined, activity induced inflammation was reduced, and a whole host of additional health benefits were observed—from lower cholesterol and blood pressure to increased energy utilization and healthier blood sugar. This is the first time in history that a nutritional supplement has produced this type of result. While the results were profound, Melaleuca made it clear that the Freiburg Study was just the first study and that more clinical studies would follow.

Exactly two years later, Melaleuca has completed a follow-up study—this time at the Sterling Research Group in Cincinnati, Ohio—and the results clearly confirm the initial results of the Freiburg Study.

What was different about the Sterling Study?

While both the Freiburg Study and Sterling Study followed similar protocols, the populations of the two studies were drastically different. While both were comprised of healthy individuals with no known diseases, their starting variables were different. While all the participants in the Freiburg Study were Caucasian, approximately half of Sterling Study participants were of African American or Asian descent.

Powerful, unparalleled results add more life to your years

Free radicals and activity induced inflammation have been shown to contribute to overall health concerns. The Sterling Study provided additional evidence that the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of the Peak Performance Pack substantially reduce free radical activity and activity induced inflammation in our bodies.

Reducing these two key factors—free radicals and activity induced inflammation—was critical to creating the substantial improvements that were seen in other major health markers.

What does the Sterling Study mean for you?

The Sterling Study only strengthens the value and validity of the Freiburg Study. It gives us a more complete picture of how the entire healthy population responds to the Peak Performance Pack. Both studies demonstrated that the Peak Performance Pack moved participants closer to the ideal health state in numerous key health markers. More importantly, both studies also showed that healthy participants who were farthest from the ideal state saw the biggest improvements.

Conclusion

Even with a change in population, the Sterling Study concluded that participants saw the same improvements to health as those who participated in the Freiburg Study. Whoever you are, wherever you live, the Peak Performance Pack can have a direct impact on your health, your physical performance, and quality of your life.*

A supplement with results you can measure in as little as 60 minutes? That’s the Peak Performance Difference.

December 8, 2016 by Melaleuca 8 Comments

That’s the Peak Performance Difference.

There is no question that Americans are seeking better health. Data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show that 53% of adults take a nutritional supplement daily. That adds up to over $5.7 billion every year. But are we getting our money’s worth? Numerous studies have begun to question the value of traditional multivitamin/multi-mineral supplements.

Don’t Leave Your Health to Chance

Melaleuca has been of the forefront of nutritional science for decades, so when they developed the Peak Performance Pack, it was only natural that they put the supplements to the test. Melaleuca commissioned the Freiburg study to determine the effects of the Peak Performance Pack on people. The first-of-its-kind study measured more than 25 key health markers in humans, including difficult to obtain data like resistance to induced inflammation and free radical levels, which help paint a more detailed picture of the effect of supplements on overall health. And the results were nothing short of profound.

Benefits in as Little as 60 minutes

For nearly a century, supplement manufacturers have been saying that the benefits of nutritional supplements are strictly long range—that the true benefits of the nutrition they offer will take years to truly manifest. Melaleuca’s Peak Performance Pack appears to break that mold. The Freiburg Study shows that many of the significant benefits of the Peak Performance Pack are measurable in the body in as little as one hour! Think about that—your health begins to improve within just 60 minutes, even if you consider yourself already healthy!

Within 60 minutes, Freiburg Study participants saw the following improvements:

10% reduction in free radical activity*
27% reduction in blood sugar*
35.8% improvement in resistance to inflammation*

Even Greater Improvements Over Time

While the results after 60 minutes were impressive, the Freiburg study also measured participants after 6 and 12 weeks of continuous Peak Performance Pack use. Even greater improvements were seen after 6 weeks of taking the pack, and the greatest level of improvement was observed after taking the pack for 12 weeks.* For complete study results, visit FreiburgStudy.com
Some of the key indicators of health measured include the following:

Free radical activity
Cholesterol
Blood fat
Blood pressure
C-reactive protein (heart health)
Heart rate
Glucose levels
Inflammation

Powered by Oligo^®

Melaleuca’s nutritional philosophy has always been to address basic nutrition first. That’s why the Peak Performance Pack is powered by Oligo.

Oligo is the only mineral delivery system that delivers minerals to the body in the same form they’re found in plants, by binding them with proteins and fibers. This provides superior mineral absorption and maximum antioxidant protection. The minerals processed with Oligo technology undoubtedly played an important role in the results of the Freiburg Study.*

Nothing Beats Melaleuca Products…or Melaleuca Customers

March 24, 2016 by Melaleuca 6 Comments

Melaleuca continues to experience massive growth. 2016 is shaping up to be another record-breaking year. We’re absolutely thrilled that customers around the world are discovering Melaleuca at a meteoric rate.

Melaleuca is no stranger to explosive growth. We opened our doors in 1985 with just eight wellness products (and only seven employees!), but our status as a tiny startup in rural Idaho was short-lived.

Beginning in 1990, Melaleuca made Inc. 500’s list of the fastest growing privately held companies in the U.S.—for five consecutive years. Today, we do business in 18 countries around the world, and we’re now experiencing the fastest growth in our 30-year history.

So why is The Wellness Company doing so well?

There could be a thousand reasons, but two major factors clearly stand out: Simply put, Melaleuca has the best products in the world and the best customers.

Superior Products

Want a good reason why Melaleuca is growing so rapidly? We’ll give you at least 480 of them.

Two of Melaleuca’s founding axioms are “to provide exceptional products at reasonable prices” and “to enhance the lives of those we touch, by helping people reach their goals.” As we developed each of our 480+ products, we did so with the mission of enhancing lives in mind. Our products are effective and affordable. If a product doesn’t enhance lives, we don’t make it, and we don’t sell it.

Product innovation is a hallmark of Melaleuca. We place a huge premium on research and development. If we didn’t, we wouldn’t be able to deliver the very best products—products that bring together the best of science and nature.

Our numerous patents, the development of Oligofructose Complex®, and the profound results of the Freiburg Study are just a few examples of our unwavering commitment to scientific research. We invest in research because we want our customers to have an incomparable experience with our products.

When you take the Peak Performance Pack, brew a fresh cup of Mountain Cabin™ Premium Coffee, clean your toilet with non-toxic Safe & Mighty™ Toilet Bowl Cleaner, fill your home with the aroma of PURE™ Essential Oils, or experience any one of our 480+ products, we want—and fully expect—those products to enhance your life.

Smart, Loyal Customers
We truly believe Melaleuca customers are smarter and better educated than the average grocery store customer. Our customers pay attention to labels and ingredients. They’re concerned about the health and well being of their families, and they’re careful about what they bring into their homes. They shop with us because they know Melaleuca products will enhance their lives.

If there’s one refrain we hear time and again when customers talk about Melaleuca, it’s this: “I love the products!” Our customer loyalty is second to none.

In fact, we have an average 96% month-to-month reorder rate. We hang our hats on that number because it shows our customers not only love Melaleuca products, but they want to keep using the products month after month and year after year.

As a word-of-mouth business, we rely completely on our customers recommending Melaleuca products to people they know. It’s because of the incredible product experiences our customers have shared with their friends and family that Melaleuca has grown into a worldwide powerhouse.

Whether you’ve been a Melaleuca customer for 30 years or 30 days, thank you for shopping with us. And if you’ve ever shared Melaleuca with someone you know, thank you for referring them. Our success as a company is because of you!
