today, my GF bought, from a woman who works with Amway , a bottle of 90 capsules of Fish oil ( brand Nutrilite ); normal price ( written under the bottle)  is 1000 bahts, and she paid 800 bahts ( don't know why )

what do you think of Neutrilite and Amway?  ; is it good for the health , expensive ?

there are many sorts of fish oil , so I don't know what to choose 

thanks 

 

ps: I notice that on the other bottles I have seen, it's written " omega 3 ", but on the nutrilite bottle, nothing like " omega 3 "; what does it mean ? 

here it is : https://shopee.co.th/Nutrilite-Fish-Oil-i.19684321.282476714

It is Salmon Oil and it does have Omega 3 in it. I think pretty good stuff 

 

As far as health there have been many claims and counterclaims of benefits but hard to prove or disprove. I took for many years and I think it improved my cardiovascular health (cholesterol and triglycerides) numbers when I was taking it.

In reply to the question what do I think of Amway

 

The ultimate pyramid selling organisation in the world, family owned exceedingly successful, they also own a large private Island in the Bahamas ( they claim it is not pyramid selling but multilevel marketing)

 

Generally I believe the majority of their products are high quality, with equally high price, if money is not important then shop there

 

A lot of product is sold by leaning on friends, and almost embarrassing them if they do not buy, which I do not like

 

Most of their products can be bought elsewhere at much lower cost, the only product I have been unable to find elsewhere is their stain remover Loc, which is excellent

 

They motivate a very large sales force exceptionally well, it is almost a cult, if you ever get a chance go to a sales meeting, maybe 300/500 people all singing and chanting their own praises, it is very amazing, almost a religion 

 

Some people have made very large money by having a large sales force below them

 

As an organisation I admire them greatly,  achieving what they have,  Do I buy from them ? NO they are too expensive

Note that you can't go into Tesco Lotus or Boots and buy Nutrilite products.  This is likely because their products are overpriced and wouldn't be competitive. 

 

Here's a good article:

It should have been labeled 'Snake Oil'

 

Multi Level Marketing... each level a bit smaller than the last.. like a... wait for it.. pyramid?

Thanks for the answers, I have heard of this pyramid selling organisation  and I don't intend to enter this system

what I see from above is that their products are good, and , comparing with other fish oil, 90 capsules for 800 bahts don't seem more expensive than the others

I have read from other posts than iherb ( online, no post duty with Thailand ) is pretty good and cheap

and really, is fish oil so good ? ( I have a moderate high blood pressure and moderate diabet and get a treatment already  ) 

very expensive!!!

 

Be aware this, like aspirin, can be an issue and should be used under a doctors supervision rather than as a daily vitamin.  I was taken off both fish oil and aspirin as on plavix now (and I did not have bleeding issues that were apparent).  

 

FYI:  the prescription form of Omega 3 sold here is called Omacor and is really expensive.

I use Fish Oil 500 from Giffarine, I imagine it's similar to Amway's stuff.

 

I don't know what is in it as the description on the label is in Thai

I think it's about the same system, pretty expensive

I have ordered some from I herb, it will come to my home next week, I guess ; not expensive , from USA ( payed with Paypal ) ; 

3-4 times cheaper than Amway ( but Amway 1 pill/day, iHerb 2 pills / day  )
