Our newest Russian Diamond, Vera Menshikova’s story is a living testiment to the fact that with Agel, belief, hard work, and dedication really are all it takes to be successful. Ms. Menshikova is a 45-year-old mother of two with some previous direct selling experience and a whole lot of heart.

“I was a network marketer at birth!” she exclaims. She goes on to explain, “I have a profound conviction that network marketing isn’t just a profession, it’s a way of life—the way of life for a free man! Agel is the kind of company you could only dream of.”

After years of trying her hand at network marketing, Vera was looking for something new, something big. She was looking and praying and open to finding it. She happened to sit down in a crowded café in a Moscow shopping mall right next to Agel Diamond Ata Mamedov and her prayers were answered.

She had heard of Mr. Mamedov by reputation in Russian network marketing circles, and when he began to tell her about his commitment to Agel, she knew she would be Agel, too. “It would take something really unique to attract an already successful leader like Ata,” she explains.

It was the beginning of summer, 2006. They began holding PBRs in the café. There was a terrible heat wave in Moscow at the time and people were crowding the cafés. Vera would invite total strangers to sit with her and explain her Agel business. “We made meetings…first at one table, then two, then three. By the end of June, we had over 80 people.” That’s when Triple Diamond Director Randy Gage made a trip to Moscow to investigate the sudden growth. Meeting with Randy had a dramatic impact on Vera and her team. “Randy Gage is the real sponsor for the growth of the business in Russia!” Vera exclaims!

But the work wasn’t done, it was just beginning. Vera took an apartment in Moscow so she could be with Ata and concentrate on her networking. Then she began traveling around Russia to share her vision of Agel.

In September of 2006, she made an excursion to five different cities in Siberia. She stayed with friends or contacts and subsisted on free cookies and other food she could get for free. Over the course of the next year she would make trips to five different regions in Russia to meet people at cafés, talk to people on the street, and tell everyone about Agel. “We simply worked a lot!” And that hard work paid off. “Today I have a bigger organization in Siberia and the Far East. I also have a super team here in [her hometown of] St. Petersburg.”

Vera’s WHY is her family. “I have two grown daughters. The youngest, Vlada, is a 19-year-old Agel Regional Director and is already making $5,000-6,000 a month! My older daughter, Yulia, is raising a small son, my grandson. And her husband, Sergey, is also a Director in Agel.” Vera’s husband is an artist and a composer who supports her in her work. “I dream of buying a big estate on the shores of the Gulf of Finland, surrounded by a forest of pine trees…. My family and I love to travel and enjoy life and this is simple to do with Agel.”

Vera’s advice to the rest of us is simply to speak up. She has shared her enthusiasm about Agel with total strangers over the past two years wherever she has gone. It is the secret to her success. “Agel is, in all actuality, a simple business! …share the joy and opportunity that is Agel. People are waiting for you! You have much to offer!”

Join us in congratulating the remarkable success of Ms. Vera Menshikova, from St. Petersburg, Russia. поздравления!!

Agel EXO

Antioxidants are substances that help prevent cellular damage in our bodies. Our body has its own process of repair, but with the stress of current lifestyles and the increasing amount of pollutants in the environment, we may need some extra help. Ideally, we can get most of the antioxidants we need by eating fruits and vegetables, essentials of a healthy diet. However, in today’s fast-paced world we sometimes replace fresh fruits and vegetables with less than ideal choices. Therefore, enhancing our less than optimal diet with an exceptional antioxidant supplement may be extremely beneficial. Agel EXO is the proprietary exotic antioxidant formula in our initial product offerings.

EXO is a powerful blend of 17 different unique whole fruit purees and plant extracts from around the world, each with its own unique properties. This distinctive formula contains 17 potent botanicals that each when tested individually was found to have a very high total antioxidant capacity. Now imagine, the extraordinary benefit of EXO, a highly concentrated gel, made up of not one but 17 of these antioxidant-rich fruits and plants. In independent testing, EXO’s antioxidant capacity as determined by an oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) rating was found to be a quite extraordinary.

Optimum health requires adequate nutrition. Adequate nutrition involves balance, moderation and variety. Scientific literature suggests that the intake of a varied selection of antioxidants is much better than taking high doses of just one or two antioxidants. Since EXO is a highly concentrated gel containing a variety of antioxidant–rich botanicals, the multifaceted benefits of this formulation are truly unique.

Agel MIN

Vitamins and Minerals are essential tools in everyday human physiology. They function as coenzymes and cofactors that are involved in almost all biochemical processes in the body. It is even apparent that they can influence the behavior of genes. In essence, vitamins and minerals are crucial to healthy living.

Before the days of “fast food” and “empty” calories, these vitamins and minerals were found naturally in our food. However, in modern days, as the average diet consists mostly of processed, manufactured food, there is overwhelming scientific evidence to support the intake of dietary supplements that are rich in vitamins and minerals [1-5].

Agel MIN is a proprietary formulation of vitamins and minerals that provides 100% of the RDI (Recommended Daily Intake) of almost all the essential vitamins and as much as 50% of the RDI of most of the essential minerals. More importantly, the bioavailability of these vitamins and minerals is enhanced due to the revolutionary gel technology employed in the MIN formulation. The vitamins and minerals are either dissolved or suspended in the gel, resulting in immediate availability for absorption by the digestive tract. In addition, the minerals used in the formulation of MIN are Albion™ Chelates. Albion Laboratories, Inc. is the world’s major producer of patented amino acid chelated minerals. Albion’s patented chelation processes bind minerals to amino acids, markedly increasing their bioavailability.

There are some who advocate using mega doses of various vitamins, presuming that if some is good, more is better. However, there is growing scientific evidence that too much of a good thing can be harmful [6-7]. Therefore, Agel’s formulation for a moderate dose of readily available vitamins and minerals is ideal.

Active Ingredients: Apple Cider Vinegar, Magnesium Chelate, Monocalcium Phosphate, Inositol, Ascorbic Acid, Biotin, Mixed Tocopherols, Niacinamide, Calcium Pantothenate, Zinc Chelate, Iron Chelate, Manganese Chelate, Vitamin A Palmitate, Copper Chelate, Vitamin D, Selenium Chelate, Chromium Chelate, Pyridoxine HCl, Riboflavin, Thiamine HCl, Molybdenum Chelate, Cyanocobalamin, Folic Acid, Vanadium Chelate, Potassium lodide

What is long term viability? It is not just company longevity. If you used to make $100k and now only make $30k, this is not long term viability. Ten years later your check should still be the same fulfilling the promise of long-term residual income. The Agel compensation plan includes the principles that ensure that promise can be fulfilled for those who work at it.

Although your downline is organized in a two-leg or two-team structure, the Agel complensation plan is nothing like what the industry refers to as a “binary”.

• Different from most binary plans, you ALWAYS make money on your organization’s volume.
• There are no “cycles.” You don’t have to match sales on the right and left sides. There is no need to “balance” sales on the left and right sides.
• No need to worry about “binary creepage” (where the company pays out more money than it makes).
• No personal payout cap (in most binaries 30% of total volume or more is taken from the top, even before commissions are calculated).
• No penalization of bonuses and pools or fluctuations in cycle requirements to balance payout.
• There are no hard, “take away” qualifications or “cumulative” sales and sponsoring requiremens and all the other worries that exist in binary plans.
• The Agel plan has much easier qualifications than other plans.

Agel took the powerful concept of a two-team structure, where spillover and cooperative team building have proven so powerful, and created a dual down-line pay system that doesn’t have the unfortunate draw backs of conventional binary plans. It gives beginners a real chance at success and gives experienced marketers the ability to get paid what they are really worth.

Although it may seem complex, the Agel plan is one of the simplest PAYING plans there is. The plan focuses not on ways you have to QUALIFY for payment but ways to get you additional payments and bonuses.

• In the Agel plan, you simply sponsor people into your left and right team.
• You receive a US $35 to $200 Fast Start Bonus (depending on the activation order placed by your enrollee) on your team members initial purchases.
• As your left and right teams grow, you will make 10% of volume of your smaller team, up to a commission of US $25,000 a month.
• When you reach the Director level (10,000 volume in your smaller team), you will receive a Leveraged Matching Bonus of 25 to 50% of the team volume commission of anyone you have enrolled – no matter where they are in your downline! Plus, you can receive a matching bonus on the income of THEIR enrollees down through 7 generations. The only requirement for all these bonuses is a simple US $120 (2 boxes) personal monthly order.
• You can also qualify for shares in an Executive Bonus Pool (if you ordered the Executive Kit) made up of 3% of the global sales volume when your smaller leg volume grows by 1000 or more than the previous month.
• There are also 3 more bonuses for cars, expense accounts and international leadership trips.

Before I get into the technical aspects of the products, I would like to discuss some of the attributes that a product must have if it is to survive in the marketplace. First of all, the product must be unique. Those companies that are category creators are the ones that go on to lead the industry. Second, the products must be effective. In short, they have to work. Third, the products need to be consumable. And fourth, they must have a broad market appeal. I am very happy to say that Agel has products that are an exceptional fit to all four of these criteria. Agel’s products are fantastic and I consider myself very fortunate to be a part of this great company. I believe that Agel is setting itself up to be the next giant in the nutritional industry.

So, let’s ask some important questions. What is so unique about Agel? What is so unique about a gel delivery system? Why is this delivery system better than others? Well, there are a number of good answers to these questions and I would like to briefly touch on them in order to give you a better understanding of what a remarkable thing we have here in the Agel products.

First of all, what is so unique about Agel? Well Agel has put nutritional supplements in a gel suspension. They have introduced gelceuticals and nobody has ever done that before. What is so important about a gel delivery system for nutritional supplements and why is this delivery system better than others? There are three very important factors that influence the benefit of nutritional supplements. The first is the proper timing of ingestion. Second is compliance with a nutritional program. In other words, nutritional supplements don’t do much if they’re just sitting on the shelf without being consumed. Third is the bio-availability of the nutrients. If your body doesn’t take up the nutrients, they will have no affect. Because of these three factors, timing, compliance and bio-availability, gel technology represents a significant advance in the method of delivery for vitamins, minerals and other important food supplements.

Dr. Todd Nilson

Just think how much easier it will be for most people to take their supplements now that they come in a gel suspension. Many people before gelceuticals, incuding myself, did not include in the health benefits of supplements either because of a physical inability or simply from a dislike of swallowing pills. Gel suspension drastically facilitates the ingestion of nutritional supplements and thus enhances compliance with nutritional programs that would otherwise go unheeded. It provides extreme convenience and allows for optimal timing of ingestion, which maximizes nutritional efficacy. Vitamins and minerals have a maximum uptake if consumed with food. With a portable gel pack on hand, just think how easy it will be to carry it with you to meals no matter where you are. Other nutrients require a certain time period prior to meals in order to reach maximum affect. With a gel pack the optimal timing can be achieved no matter what the circumstances.

Then there is the bio-availability of the nutrients. Bio-availability simply means how much of the good stuff actually makes it into the system to do its thing. In gel suspension, the nutrients are just sitting there waiting to be absorbed in the body. They are not compressed under extreme pressures into a tablet or capsule, but they are suspended in gel in their natural state. This is not to say that gel suspension makes these nutrients more available than in all pills and tablets, but we can say that in a gel suspension, the nutrients are immediately available for absorption and may be more available than many pills and capsules.

Why do we need to be taking supplements after all? Well most of us are not getting enough essential nutrients. We don’t consume optimal amounts of the vitamins and minerals necessary for good health and chronic disease prevention through diet alone. In our modern day of fast paced living, we are under a great deal of stress and have become sedentary. Our eating habits have deteriorated so that a large part of our daily food intake consists of empty calories. For many of us, frozen microwave dinners and take out food have replaced our consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables; therefore, we are not getting the essential nutrients needed to keep our bodies healthy and strong. These optimal nutrients support our bodies in performing essential biochemical processes and serve to help us grow, fight disease and repair damaged tissue and cells. Without them we become prone to disease and ill health. As we do more to take care of ourselves, we will improve our quality of life. After all, we all want to feel good and have the energy to work hard and play hard.

Agel has come out with four initial products. The first of the products is Agel MIN, spelled M-I-N, as in vitamin and minerals. This is our daily vitamins and minerals gel. It is simply a supply of 100 percent of the recommended daily intake of essential vitamins and up to 50 percent of the recommended daily intake of essential minerals. We’re not trying to hype up a mega-vitamin pack or say that by taking large doses of one vitamin or the other that we can cure this disease or that. So what does the scientific literature support? Well, in 2002 the Journal of the American Medical Association included an article that reached the conclusion that pregnant women and the elderly should take supplements and, in addition, implied that it might be prudent for all adults to take vitamin supplements.

In addition, other peer review statements in the scientific literature have come out advising all American adults to take a daily multi-vitamin and mineral supplement. Are they recommending mega-doses of vitamins? No. They’re simply recommending a supplement containing moderate amounts of the essential vitamins and minerals. In short, too much of a good thing can be harmful; therefore, Agel’s formulation for a moderate dose of readily available vitamins and minerals in a convenient gel pack is ideal.

The second of Agel’s products is called Agel FIT, F-I-T, and this is the weight management gel. We all know that being overweight is a common, frustrating problem and it would be wonderful if there were a magic pill that would melt away the extra pounds without any physical effort. Unfortunately, there is no such thing. Let’s face it. Losing weight involves a simple equation. We have to burn more calories than we consume. Now this equation sounds easy, but the execution of a reasonable diet combined with a regular exercise program that is maintained over the long-term is not always easy.

Therefore, many people trying to lose weight will benefit from supplemental support as they face the inevitable obstacles along the way. So that’s where Agel FIT comes in. This great tasting gel can help play a role in this frustrating struggle without the harmful affects of stimulants. The active ingredient in Agel FIT is a well-studied, patent pending form of HCA, hydroxyl citric acid, also called super citramax. It comes from the fruit called garcinia cambogia and has been shown in clinical trials to decrease body weight by reducing appetite and inhibiting fat synthesis without artificial stimulation of the central nervous system.

There are other products on the market that use HCA for weight management, but not all of them contain super citrimax. What makes this form of HCA so effective is that it is bound to calcium and potassium, which maximizes its solubility, thereby increasing its bio-availability. Add that to the fact that in FIT it is suspended in a gel formulation and we have the makings of an awesome weight management aid. Research has shown that HCA potency, bio-availability, timing of ingestion and dosage are the essential requirements for optimal results. According to the studies, the super citrimax works best if it is ingested 30 to 60 minutes prior to eating meals, three times each day. This will allow time for the absorption of the HCA and suppression of the appetite. With the convenience of a gel pack, timing the ingestion of this product in the 30 to 60 minute window will be a breeze. The revolutionary gel technology used to deliver this formulation not only improves the bio-availability of super citrimax, but also offers a convenience factor that can maximize the timing of its ingestion.

The third of Agel’s initial product is called OHM, O-H-M, and this is an energy gel. It is a blend of vitamins, minerals and herbs that complements a proper diet and regular exercise to help the body provide the extra energy required to meet every day demands. It was not designed to give an immediate boost of artificial energy like many of the other products on the market that contain mainly sugar and caffeine. Instead, Agel OHM looks to a B-complex vitamin based formula that acts as a coenzyme to facilitate the body’s own metabolic processes required to convert carbohydrates into energy. Panex Ginseng is also included. It is a strong antioxidant helping the body to resist stressful influences. Panex Ginseng has been associated with beneficial effects on motor performance, cognitive behavior and overall quality of life.

Likewise, OHM contains Rodiola Rozaya to help improve physical endurance and mental performance and to reduce stress induced fatigue in humans. Shezandra is another premium herb used in OHM and this herb has been used historically and today to help improve concentration, strength, stamina, endurance and alertness without causing nervousness like caffeine related stimulants. Derivos is an essential component of energy production and Taurine has been found to have positive effect on heart muscle function.

The fourth of Agel’s initial four products is Agel EXO, E-X-O, as in exotic fruits. It is a proprietary exotic fruit antioxidant gel. Antioxidants are substances that help prevent cellular damage in our bodies. Our body has its own process of repair, but with the stress of current lifestyles and increasing amounts of pollutants in the environment, we may need some extra help. Ideally we can get most of the antioxidants we need by eating fruits and vegetables, which are essentials of a healthy diet. However, in today’s fast-paced world, we sometimes replace fresh fruits and vegetables with less than ideal choices. Therefore, enhancing our less than optimal diet with an exceptional antioxidant supplement may be extremely beneficial. EXO is a powerful blend of 14 different unique whole fruit puree’s and plant extracts from around the world, each with its own unique properties.

This distinctive formula contains 14 potent botanicals that each, when tested individually, was found to have a very high total antioxidant capacity. Now imagine the extraordinary benefit of EXO, a highly concentrated gel made up of not one, but 14 of these antioxidant rich fruits and herbs. What’s more, because EXO is made up of whole fruit purees’ and plant extracts, we get the added benefit of the vital chemicals which are non-nutrient plant components, flavenoids, phenols, alium compounds, that aren’t found in antioxidant pills. In fact, there is still some question in the literature whether or not antioxidant supplements are beneficial when taken as a pill or capsule. Why is that? Well because they’re lacking the other phyto-nutrients contained in the whole fruits and vegetables.

What are the facts? The facts are the consumption of fruits and vegetables has been associated with lower incidents and lower mortality rates of cancer. The official recommendations are for each of us to take five to nine servings of fruits and vegetables daily. Well how much do we actually get? The average intake ranges from one to four servings daily. So by taking Agel EXO we can fill that gap in a very healthful and meaningful way.

To summarize, Agel has an initial line up of four fantastic products, each with a very unique formulation for health and wellness. But that is just the beginning. As I look into the future of Agel and see the incredible potential for future products that will maximize the effectiveness of a gel delivery system, I am further convinced that in short order, Agel will be at the forefront of the nutritional industry.

Thank you for taking the time to learn about the Agel products. I look forward to meeting you in person as you take this great journey with us.

What about an entirely new approach to wellness? What about a brand new market of nutrient delivery? What about Gelceuticals? Triathletes and marathon runners often down small packets of gel, providing a timely blast of energy. Why couldn’t this exact system work for daily consumption of vitamins and minerals?

It can. Through suspension gel technology, our daily nutrients can be taken anywhere, quickly and easily. Think about it: no glasses, no super-sized pills, no waterlogged juices, no ineffective sprays and creams—just pure, concentrated nutrients in an easy to take, readily absorbed, taste bud-busting gel. Entirely original, the Gelceutical market represents an untapped arena of wellness. And the landmark realization of the industry is Agel™. Agel stands at the head of a supplement revolution—incredible convenience, incredible flavor.

So you summon your courage and browse the frightening row of pills, lotions, juices, creams and elixirs that clogs every health store in the world. And you try your share—a few pills and a glass of juice, some powerful creams and a shot of powder. But before long, pills stick in your throat, creams provide little more than prohibitive odors and glass bottles aren’t exactly portable.

And then you think about it…if hard-core athletes can pound small packets of energy-blasting gel, why are you choking on your daily vitamins and minerals? Are you not worthy of the same instantaneous rush? Sure you are. It’s called Agel and we’re talking about instant nutrient delivery, an entirely new approach to wellness: Gelceuticals™. Just pure, concentrated nutrients packed in a tastebud-busting gel.

And while that’s certainly enough to satisfy Aunt Maggie, there’s more. Agel fuses this true category-creating product with a marketing strategy and culture that breeds and fosters real independence. It’s the opening chapter in a new volume of entrepreneurial spirit, a chapter that sets the stage for an era of power, energy and performance like no one’s ever seen before.

Very suitable for supplements

More Portable
The science is clear. To get the most out of nutrients, you need to take them around the time you eat. That means carrying them around with you! You can’t take a supplement you leave at home. And Agel’s soft gel packs couldn’t be more grab-able, pocket-stuff-able, rip-and-sip-able, even fun to hold. Never forget your nutrition again.

Easier to Ingest
Let’s face it. Pills are hard to swallow—and not just for kids and seniors. Liquids often taste terrible. There has to be an easier way. There is. Agel gel packs taste great and couldn’t be easier to sip. No spilling. No choking. No pill after taste. No water needed. Just nutrition where you need it.

More Accurate in Their Dosage
Each Agel gel pack contains an exact dosage of the nutrients your body needs, and the patent-pending gel technology means you get every last drop when you “rip and sip.” No shaking. No ingredient sediments at the bottom that you miss. Each gel is a uniform blend of goodness with the same dosage of nutrients, every time.

Easily Absorbed by your Body
It’s called “bioavailability.” That’s a big word for how readily your body can absorb the nutrients you swallow. Athletes pound carbs in gel packs mid-race so they get the benefit immediately. Now you can get immediate results. Pills and their coatings may or may not get broken down. Liquids must be shaken and taken immediately. But the nutrients in Agel gel packs are always dissolved, suspended, and ready to go to work.

Suspension Gel Technology – it’s all about the gel.
