When some people buy Amway when they live abroad, they find that imported products are cheaper than domestic products. So why can domestically produced Amway products be discounted, and why are imported products cheaper than domestically produced products? When it comes to products from various countries, their pricing is determined based on the national conditions of each country. In places with fierce market competition, prices will be lower, and in places with less market competition, prices will be higher. Domestic Amway products are recognized as the most expensive. You can also go to the official websites of relevant Amway companies to check their prices and compare them after converting them into RMB. Moreover, Amway Company explicitly prohibits discounts and price reductions. CCTV also reported that discounted Amway products are basically fake or expired. There are many domestic manufacturers that specialize in producing fake Amway products. In addition to the above, there is another reason for the high price of domestic Amway products, which is to support the production base in Guangzhou and the nearly 200 large stores in China that have invested billions. Many friends have been to Amway stores. If you are interested, you can Based on local prices, estimate the decoration and annual maintenance costs for a store of more than 1,000 square meters. As for Amway's products in more than 80 other countries and regions, most of them are produced in the United States and the finished products are shipped to the local market for sale. There is no local production base. The most stores in one area are just one image store, and the rest are warehouses. ! Amway's sales rely on direct sales, not stores. (Friends may ask, there is an additional transportation fee. You should know that a small part of the raw materials and most of the equipment produced by Amway in China are directly sent from the United States. Which one is more expensive, raw materials or finished products?) In addition, there are taxes from various countries. The reasons for the different proportions, maturity of the health care market and technological maturity will not be described one by one here. In fact, the prices of Amway products are not much different from similar traditional products on the market, and some are even lower, but the quality is indeed much higher. 4. How to identify Amway skin care products (1) The key to distinguishing is on the outer packaging carton. There is also a SKU number under the barcode on the carton. It is the domain code of the product and represents the place of distribution. There is no suffix for the United States, Hong Kong and Malaysia. Most of the skin care products have the suffix A. Take eye cream as an example: China's eye cream is 100277-CH, the United States' eye cream is 100227, and Hong Kong, Australia, Singapore, and Malaysia are all 100227-A. It is worth noting that there are many places in the text and inner packaging of American skin care products that are easily confused with other areas. For example, American facial masks have French on the carton, Korean on the tube, and 10-0227 on the tube. -, The word A makes people feel as if the product is not sold in the United States. This is also the reason why many friends who sell Jetstar in the United States are always reluctant to sell American products. The price of American products is high, but it always makes people misunderstand, so more and more people Many dealers have begun to transition to selling skin care products from Southeast Asian countries. (2) Compare the date to distinguish. Because of the above "suspicious points", some consumers suspect that merchants are subcontracting and putting cheap products from other countries inside. The outer carton is made from the United States. This should be noted. Are the production dates on the box and the tube consistent? Most American cosmetics use international 4-digit date marks, such as 5KGY, 56HB, etc. to represent the production date. However, the dates of a few products such as suits and foundations also use EXP. That is: EXP: 03/2008 (representing expiration in March 2008). (3) Explanation of "doubtful points": In the first article, I mentioned that the packaging of American products has the same words from other countries as those from other countries. Even facial masks and foundation bottles have an A after the product code. , K, etc. As a distributor of Amway in the United States, I once asked the company's customer service about this, and the answer I got was this: There are several production lines in the United States, and the ones that are produced and sold in the United States are the main factories in the United States. The address is in Asia. Dacheng, commonly known as Amway City in the United States, has other production lines in Michigan and Tennessee. The production of packaging materials is ordered by the company. In order to save costs and maintain environmental protection, products from various countries (including those in the United States) are produced in the United States. The packaging is universal, and the outer packaging paper products are distinguished. Take refreshing toner as an example: the inner packaging is E5012, A, K, S, which means: the packaging of this product is also used to produce products in Australia, South Korea, and Singapore. (4) American products do not match the pictures on the official website. Some skin care products still have sporadic designs on the American website, but the actual trademarks were changed to star line designs in 2005. The actual product is accurately marked with weight or mass, which is required by the US Quality Supervision Agency.
The pictures on the website are the basic pictures of the product and are for reference only to prevent counterfeiting. If what you get is consistent with the picture on the website, and there is no precise marking, weight, etc., you can determine the authenticity of the product. Nowadays, many domestic counterfeit products do not have these quality and weight labels. Please pay attention! Amway health products (1) Each health product has a SKU number under the barcode, which is the code name of the product. Take calcium tablets as an example. The calcium tablets in the United States are A-5880 without any prefix or suffix, and those in China are A- 5880-CH, Canada's is A-5880-C, and Malaysia's is A-4251-M. However, some products are special, such as Hong Kong protein powder. The code on the barrel is AA-0145-MK instead of hk. (2) The products are consistent with the official Amway sales websites in various countries. However, it should be noted that American products for pregnant women and children (such as Sugar Deli, Iron Tablets, and Children's Duobao) all have safe lids. Lecithin ve has ordinary rotating lids, but the pictures on the website show that the lids are easy to remove. , I once asked the company about this, and the explanation was: the pictures are of the actual product, and are only for reference. It is also stated on the website that the pictures are for reference only. This brings a lot of trouble to domestic sales staff, but fortunately there are not many such products. The outer packaging of Hong Kong products is very user-friendly. Many products have self-adhesive labels on them. If customers repackage the products into other bottles, they can use a hair dryer to peel off the sticky notes to facilitate repacking. (3) The outer packaging of products in various countries has the language of each country. Needless to say, China’s Amway is in French, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Malaysia’s Amway are in Traditional Chinese, etc., and the United States is only in English. Many American products have on the bottle mouth film. The seal began to be changed to the "n" mark, which is still "NUTRILITE" in other countries. Hong Kong products are the best to distinguish. Not only do they have hk behind the barcode, many product companies also add a layer of self-adhesive instructions. (4) Some products will be marked "Made in U.S.A.", and a few products will not be marked. One point in particular is that the high-end products of the Deep Sea series are produced in Canada and are exclusively for the United States. They are branches of American companies in Canada, taking advantage of Canada's rich With deep-sea resources and cutting-edge technology (Canada’s deep-sea fish oil refining technology is the world’s best), these products are essentially different from Canadian Amway products. The main difference depends on the analysis method pointed out in the first article. The same product also has There are lactic acid bacteria bags, and everyone knows that South Korea is the birthplace of lactic acid bacteria development. This shows that the United States is really smart. In a word: As long as there is no suffix, it is a domestic product in the United States. (5) Some products in the United States will have a magnetic strip inside that says: do not eat. 5. Frequently asked questions about Amway Nutrilite health products 1. Are there any differences in nutritional needs between Chinese and Westerners? Answer: Yes. In fact, not only are Chinese and Westerners different in terms of nutritional needs, but even if they are both Chinese, people in different regions and cities have different nutritional needs. This is because of the eating habits and diets of people in different places. The structure is different, plus everyone's body shape, amount of exercise, labor intensity, etc. are different, so in fact everyone's nutritional needs are different. 2. If we experience dizziness, loss of appetite, vomiting, etc. after taking nutritional supplements, what may be the cause? Answer: This situation may occur because you are taking nutritional supplements on an empty stomach, so it is best to stick to taking them with meals to avoid dizziness, loss of appetite, vomiting, etc. 3. Beta-carotene is a fat-soluble nutrient that accumulates in the body, so is there any concern about overdose? Answer: If you take in a large amount of vitamin A and accumulate too much in the body, it may cause poisoning. However, beta-carotene is only converted into vitamin A when the body needs it, so it will not cause excess vitamin A. Therefore, beta-carotene is a very safe source of vitamin A. 4. Vitamin C, vitamin E and beta-carotene are all antioxidants. Is it enough to only eat one? Answer: Vitamin C, vitamin E and β-carotene all inhibit free radical activity and protect human cells, but their effects are different: Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin that can dissolve in the blood and liquid inside the cells. It circulates in the body; vitamin E is fat-soluble and can protect unsaturated fatty acids in the human body from free radical damage, and unsaturated fatty acids have the function of protecting internal organs; β-carotene regulates hypoxic parts, such as microorganisms in muscles. Blood vessels, so it has the most protective effect on parts with many micro blood vessels such as the eyeballs and lungs.
Each type of antioxidant works best in different parts of the body. Only by supplementing the three types together can the body be fully protected. 5. How do you know which nutrients you are lacking? Answer: The average person does not conduct a nutritional analysis of the food they eat every day to calculate how much nutrients they are getting and then how much they are lacking. In fact, the vast majority of people suffer from malnutrition problems. For example, according to the third national nutrition survey conducted in 1992, the intake of vitamin A and vitamin B2 is insufficient, which is a long-standing problem in the nutritional status of our people; calcium, The intake of zinc, selenium and other minerals and trace elements is below the recommended amount. Therefore, in order to ensure good health, it is necessary to supplement various nutrients and purchase a "nutritional insurance". 6. Are multi-nutrient tablets suitable for children? Answer: Nutritional surveys show that most children and adolescents are not deficient in VE and copper, but it does not mean that children and adolescents cannot supplement. Because whether it is copper, vitamin E, or other nutrients, they are all needed by the human body, including adults and children. But who should supplement and who should not supplement, and how much should be supplemented, are completely determined by his own specific situation: such as eating habits, whether he is already deficient, etc. The amounts of VE and copper contained in Nutrilite Children's Multi-Nutritional Tablets are within the range of the "Recommended Dietary Nutrient Intakes for Chinese Residents" published by the Chinese Nutrition Society, so they are safe and suitable for children to consume. Multi-nutrient tablets are designed for children and teenagers who are growing and developing, mainly to provide them with comprehensive vitamin and mineral supplements; on this basis, if there is a lack of other nutrients such as calcium, other related products can be added Such as calcium and magnesium tablets for children to supplement. 7. Will eating nutritious food often cause a kind of dependence? Answer: No. Please remember that nutritional supplementation is not a once-and-for-all, just a few supplements are enough, but it needs to be done regularly and consistently. Case...
