Affiliates have known since the October Galaxy of the Stars event that this product was coming, but today made it official! TriVita has formally released their brand new multi-vitamin for the Sonoran Bloom product line called Wellavoh!
The name “Wellavoh” is derived from the Native American language and means “Wellness Harvest” which is suitable because that’s exactly what this vitamin brings to the table! It’s a mixture of all natural herbs, oils, fruits, plants and minerals.
So, what makes Wellavoh different from your standard multi-vitamin?
Well, for starters, your standard “pill” form of multi-vitamin is not going to contain the essential fatty acids and oils that the body needs to be healthy. It’s starting to think that if you take a multi-vitamin supplement that it is traditionally “incomplete” in the nutrients it provides, but it’s true! Oils like Omegas 3, 6 and 9 come in soluble liquid form- they can’t be added to a solid pill. Wellavoh, on the other hand, has been created as a liquid capsule supplement so it can, and does, contain the essential omega oils and, for those that don’t like the flavor of a multi-vitamin or have trouble swallowing them, a gel capsule will go down much easier.
Second, TriVita has gone so far as dividing nutrients into AM and PM dosages. The AM capsules provide your body with the vitamins you need to sustain your energy throughout the day while the PM capsules contain minerals needed by your body to repair itself after a long day. This isn’t necessarily a new idea, it’s something that they also incorporated into their VitaDaily AM/PM multi-vitamin, but I can attest to it being effective in working. I am an avid fan of the PM side of VitaDaily AM/PM vitamins since I can physically feel it work to settle me down after a busy day. I sleep much better when taking the supplement than I do without it…
Last, TriVita has formualted a mens and womens version of this supplement! It’s always been known that men and women require different amounts and types of nutrients, but multi-vitamins are rarely divided up to accomodate. Wellavoh for Men provides the proper nutrition for optimal prostate, cholesterol and blood sugar health, while Wellavoh for Women offers optimal bone, skin, hormone and breast health.
What’s included in the Wellavoh multi-vitamin?
FIrst off, I should comment that TriVita is actually referring to Wellavoh as a “multi-nutrient” as opposed to a multi-vitamin, because it offers so much more than just vitamin supplementation… Wellavoh actually includes 4 different blends of nutrients:
The Sonoran Bloom Blend: Includes the Nopalea cactus pad, which stabalizes blood sugar and cholesterol as well as sage seed, which is like an “energy superfood”. It’s said that because of the Sage Seed, you will actually feel the effects of Wellavoh within 20 minutes of taking it
Heart Healthy Oil Complex: Includes fish oil, flax seed oil, pumpkin seed oil (in the mens version) and sage seed oil- all of which contain the essential omega-3 fatty acids and lignans to help reduce cholesterol and inflammation
Digestive Blend: Includes Ginger extract to inprove appetite, reduce nausea and inflammation as well as long pepper extract to reduce indigestion and body cramping
Whole Food Blend: Includes 24 whole food concentrates- bilberry, nopal cactus fruit, pomegranate, green tea and grape seed as well as others.
Wellavoh comes in a box of 30 packets of both the AM and PM supplement for a full 30 day supply of nutrients. To learn more about Wellavoh for Men and Wellavoh for Women or place an order, please click on the respective product images below:
As of October 30th, 2009, TriVita removed the steadfast pack join option in favor of a more simplified, cost effective, sign up process. The new change makes it possible to join TriVita without an upfront sign up fee- one can simply put a $40 bottle of Nopalea on autoship and they are eligible to start earning from day 1!
Though the removal of the steadfast packs may seem drastic, I don’t think the change could have come at a better time… Today’s economy doesn’t favor business opportunities that have a $500, $1000 or $1500 start up cost- those looking for a primary or secondary income online are looking for something that isn’t going to have a severe impact on their wallet. Low cost business opportunities allow you to “trial” the opportunity and decide if it’s right for you before putting more money into the business.
Does that mean TriVita’s cooperative marketing program no longer exists? Absolutely NOT. TriVita still has the Media Acquisition Program (or MAP) in place for those that wish to purchase customers from the company (these customers are people that have already placed their first product order with the company- actual BUYING customers, not just leads). The MAP customers just no longer come in a standard sign up package…
What info is required for sign up?
In addition to the cost to sign up, TriVIta also removed some of the “hurdles” you have to go through in order to become an affiliate. You no longer need to provide your Social Security or Employer Identification Number up front. In fact, you can earn up to $500 in paid commissions before that info will be requested.
You also no longer have to supply the company with an email address. If you don’t have email or don’t wish to be contacted by email, you just leave that info out!
This means when you only need to provide TriVita with the standard information that they require of any customer- your name, telephone number, shipping and billing addresses and a password for your new account.
How are affiliates paid their commissions?
Right now, there are 2 payout options- direct deposit and payment by check. As of December 1st, 2009, however, TriVita will be replacing the payment by check options with payout by TriVita branded Visa debit card. This will mean that ALL affiliates will be paid each week. (Direct deposit participants already get paid each week but check payouts currently only go out once a month)
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR EXISTING CUSTOMERS: If you have ever entered your name and email address into a TriVita lead capture page online, have order a TriVita product before or have received a Gift of Health product from an existing TriVita Affiliate, you may already have a customer account with TriVita… This would mean you’d already have a tie to an affiliate as one of their customers somewhere in the business, but that does not mean you have to sign up with them… If you find a sponsor you’d prefer to work with, you simply call TriVita at 1-800-TRIVITA and wait on the line to talk to an Affiliate Member Services customer service rep. Once you have them on the line, let them know you are an existing customer interested in signing up as an affiliate and that you’d like to be moved under a new sponsor before doing so. Give them your new sponsor’s affiliate member ID number and they’ll move you immediately.
It’s EXTREMELY important that if you desire to be moved you do so BEFORE registering as an affiliate- it’s a lot harder to be moved to a new lineage as an affiliate than it is to be moved when you are a customer.
If you have any questions or would like help with any part of the registration process to become part of my team, please feel free to contact me anytime.
Excitement is certainly brewing among TriVita affiliates as TriVita prepares for the scheduled launch of the new Sonoran Bloom Nopalea infomercial on September 10th, 2009!
So far, 3 variations of a “trailer” have been revealed to us and one point has been made abundantly clear in each of them:
THIS INFOMERCIAL WILL NOT ONLY PROMOTE NOPALEA, BUT ALSO THE TRIVITA COOPERATIVE MARKETING BUSINESS MODEL!
(See video trailers below)
This marks the dawn of a new era for the TriVita company and the affiliates currently in the business. NEVER in the 10 years that TriVita has existed have they marketed the business opportunity… Their vision was to create happy customers through promotion of their products exclusively- marketing of the business opportunity has always been left in the hands of those of us that were fortunate enough to find out about it from another affiliate.
What I Expect We Will See Come Out of the Co-Branding Message
With the launch of new infomercial, I expect there to be an enormous amount of interest generated in both the Nopalea product and the TriVita business opportunity. Already, there are rave reviews coming in about Nopalea and it’s ability to stave off the inflammatory response and DAILY I receive Nopalea Gift of Health requests from folks that have heard about the product from a friend or family member that has been using it themselves… Just imagine what will happen when those customers taking Nopalea and already sharing it word of mouth with others simply because it’s helping them learn that they can MAKE MONEY doing what they are already doing!
I, for one, consider this the TRUE launch of the TriVita business opportunity and look forward to the remarkable growth of my team and my own personal business as TriVita begins to take a more aggressive approach to building the company. With all of the upcoming events set to close our 2009 and usher in 2010, the future with TriVita is looking very bright.
As always, if you are interested in learning more about the TriVita Business Opportunity, I HIGHLY recommend downloading my TriVita Advantage Guide:

On March 26, 2009, in Phoenix, Arizona TriVita made corporate history with the launch of Sonoran Bloom™ Nopalea™. Over 600 people in attendance witnessed first-hand the wellness benefits of Nopalea and the financial opportunity of the Share and Earn Program. “This event was the showcase of months of planning and execution to deliver an exciting product with a comprehensive wealth building program. These programs are supported by simplified training, marketing tools, web-sites, new enrollment kit and a national tour”, stated Marcus Ellison, Sr. VP of Sales and Marketing for TriVita.
This historical event began with a moving and inspiring message from TriVita’s CEO, Michael Ellison. Michael explained how the formulation of Nopalea began with a trip to Mexico and learning from the locals who know of the benefits of the nutrient-rich plants of the Sonoran Desert.
Michael brought to life the Sonoran Bloom Nopalea story audio CD which he previously sent to Affiliate Members, along with his wellness challenge, wellness journey and the creation of TriVita and the 10 Essentials. Listen to the CD to hear the story Acres of Diamonds. The story of Nopalea is a program that you will want to learn and share with others.
The event continued with Marcus Ellison, Sr. VP of Sales and Marketing explaining the production and manufacturing of Nopalea. A behind-the-scenes video of Nopalea being bottled and packaged allowed those in attendance to experience Nopalea with a deeper understanding. For the first time in TriVita’s history, Affiliate Members were allowed a rare view of the manufacturing process. Marcus also reviewed the aseptic processing of Nopalea and the quality manufacturing process TriVita uses with each of their premium products.
Chief Science Officer, Brazos Minshew reviewed the 4 benefits of Nopalea. Brazos provided information on the science and research behind the plants that Michael mentioned on his trip through the Sonoran Desert. He highlighted the science behind the product and its positive impact on inflammation and cellular health. As the chief formulator for the product along with support from TriVita’s Product Team, Brazos proudly reviewed why you will want to share this new product from TriVita.
Just before the break, Marcus gave each person in the audience a bottle of Nopalea. The Nopalea bottle is beautifully packaged and promises to have the visual ‘pop’ when you share it. Nopalea tastes as great as it looks. During the break, guests were allowed to have a taste of the product. Those in attendance were already talking about having tasting parties with product samples and showing the Nopalea DVD. The first half of the session focused on The Nopalea experience. This included the Nopalea story, production, science, taste and a free bottle.
After the taste test, the Healing Plants of the Sonoran Desert DVD, produced by Marcus Ellison, was played in its entirety. This program showed how easy it is to share Nopalea – just hand out the DVD and let it tell the story for you. One hundred complementary DVDs were given as a gift to each person who attended the kick-off event. This DVD allows you to be the messenger and not the message. The second half of the event showed how you can take the Nopalea experience and share and earn with it.
The afternoon continued with Ted Hernandez reviewing the 3 step success system found in the Share and Earn program. Each attendee received the program guide so they could see how easy this system is to share with others. The 3 steps Ted reviewed included; 1)Share the Nopalea Story, 2)Pay it Forward, 3)Create Duplication. This introduction will be reviewed on the Tuesday training calls.
Cinda Malouin, TriVita’s Director of Marketing, reviewed the marketing initiatives that support Nopalea.
Cinda was directed to create a cohesive look and story that allows Affiliate Members to easily share Nopalea. Cinda reviewed several new sales aids designed to help you easily share Nopalea and TriVita. These new tools included; new brochures, audio CD, video DVD, website, business cards and a new starter kit, just to name a few.
The Share and Earn Program discussion continued with Terry Newsome, National Sales Director. Terry outlined the income accelerator weekly bonus and how easy it is to qualify for this new bonus program designed specifically for Nopalea sales. Terry offered insightful sales techniques with a story of the number of seeds in an apple, vs. the number of apples in a single seed.
Terry also offered kudos to Michael, Marcus and the field leaders for their direction and inspiration.
The afternoon session was concluded with a special appearance by Rudy Ruettiger, the person who inspired the movie “RUDY”. Rudy delivered a powerful message of how you can accomplish great things in your life. Rudy encouraged TriVita Affiliate Members to aspire to great things as he too is a TriVita Affiliate Member and has caught the vision of Michael Ellison and TriVita. Rudy’s commitment to TriVita was followed by him graciously taking the time to take photos with many of the Affiliate Members at the event.
Evening Event Launches to Capacity Crowd
Following the afternoon training event, Affiliate Members and their prospects and guests joined Michael Ellison and Brazos Minshew in the Sonoran Bloom Evening Event. This event showcased the type of program Affiliate Members can expect when the Sonoran Bloom Tour comes to a city near them in both the United States and Canada.

Frequently Asked Questions for Affiliate Member Services
Q:Can I participate in Share and Earn for more than 90 days?
A:
Yes. The Share and Earn program allows you to earn up to 70% if you keep introducing new customers who purchase Sonoran Bloom Nopalea and/or signing up new Affiliate Members in the Share and Earn program. The 90 days begin when the first purchase of Nopalea is made…i.e…as you enroll new AM’s, or gain new customers, the clock starts ticking at their first purchase of Nopalea.
Q:If I have an Autoship order already established at 100 points, do I have to add Nopalea on top of that order which would make it 140 points to qualify for Share and Earn bonus?
A: If you wish to keep your Autoship order at 100 points, then simply decrease your current order by 40 points of products of your choice, and then add on the Nopalea to keep the value at 100 points. You must have at least a 40 point Autoship order of Nopalea to qualify.
Q:Do I have to purchase the Enrollment Kit to qualify for Share and Earn program?
A: No. However, with all the tools, and services represented in the kit, you will want to ensure your success to immediately start your business. Every AM in the month of April will automatically qualify for the Share and Earn program. This is TriVita’s gift to you to get started. However, you will want to qualify for May as well. To do this, you must place and receive a 40 point Autoship order in the month of April…and either buy a case of Nopalea (to waive the $35 U.S. Enrollment Kit) or purchase the Enrollment Kit.
Q:It seems like Sonoran Bloom is a separate company. Is it?
A: No. To successfully launch this outstanding, new Sonoran Bloom product line, it is necessary for TriVita to brand it’s new product and TriVita gives an added bonus to this new Sonoran Bloom product for all those who wish to participate in the Share and Earn program. It is still under the TriVita umbrella.
Q:Who is required to pay sales taxes?
A: Everyone is required to pay sales tax where applicable, no exemptions will be accepted.

The World Health Organization (WHO) states, “Health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. It is the ability to lead a socially and economically productive life.”
Does that describe you? Or, like many people in North America, are you just too tired to think about being “socially and economically productive”?
If you feel too tired to do much more than read this article, don’t feel alone. Up to 85% of the people that visit a doctor for any reason also complain of being chronically tired. It seems that we are in the middle of an energy crisis that has nothing to do with petroleum production!
When we talk about energy we need to distinguish the difference between the ability to survive and the feeling of being energetic. We must admit that even the sickest person is converting nutrients to energy in order to survive. Yet, we want to do more than survive – we want to feel energetic. We want to have the energy to dream and then have the energy to live those dreams. We want to feel our best every day. Is that possible?
Eating for energy: fats, protein and carbohydrates
As I mentioned, energy comes from the way our body burns nutrients such as fats, protein and carbohydrates. These nutrients must be metabolized. The word metabolism is from a Greek word that describes the process of creating energy from food. This description gives us the first hint as to how we can create and sustain an energetic feeling – by balancing our diet every day.
Sugars from the foods we eat provide us with ready energy, but it doesn’t last very long. Proteins are converted to energy at a much slower pace and provide us with a more stable supply of energy – five times as much energy per gram as sugar.
However, when it comes to providing energy, fat is the undisputed champion. Fat provides us with stamina. It burns slowly and steadily up to eight times longer than sugar. So for stamina that lasts all day and into the evening hours, select foods high in “good” fats.
Many experts say that we should get as much as 30% of our total calories per day from fat. This may mean more than 70 grams of fat for a 2,200 calorie per day diet. That’s a lot of fat! But don’t reach for the French fries just yet. You see, all foods contain fat. Fat is as important for plants as it is for humans. So, select fats from foods that are known for high energy, such as:
Nuts
Seeds
Olives
Avocados (guacamole)
Fatty fish
All foods (including vegetables and legumes) contain some fat.
Feeling your best every day
Fuel the fires of your metabolism by eating high-energy foods. Stoke those fires by exercising at least 30 minutes most days of the week. Eat a healthy breakfast and, above all, be crystal-clear about your reasons for wanting more energy.
Being energetic and feeling a zest for life is more than merely being alive. It is a sense that you have the resources you need to accomplish whatever you want: to thoroughly seize the day while you work for your dreams. Feeling energetic inspires optimism and healthy self-esteem. Feeling energetic makes you happy and gives you hope. Follow these simple steps to feel your best every day!
Take Control of Your Health
Include good fats in your diet:
Mono- and poly-unsaturated oils (e.g. olive and sesame)
Nuts – be sure they are not rancid (spoiled)
Fish – salmon, halibut, tuna and other cold-water fish
Olives – a whole-food source of olive oil and Vitamin E
Avocado – nutritious and filled with antioxidants
Avoid bad fats:

Nopalea Kick-Off Special Edition
This historical event began with a moving and inspiring message from TriVita’s CEO, Michael Ellison. Michael explained how the formulation of Nopalea began with a trip to Mexico and learning from the locals who know of the benefits of the nutrient-rich plants of the Sonoran Desert.
The event continued with Marcus Ellison, Sr. VP of Sales and Marketing explaining the production and manufacturing of Nopalea. A behind-the-scenes video of Nopalea being bottled and packaged allowed those in attendance to experience Nopalea with a deeper understanding. For the first time in TriVita’s history, Affiliate Members were allowed a rare view of the manufacturing process. Marcus also reviewed the aseptic processing of Nopalea and the quality manufacturing process TriVita uses with each of their premium products.
Chief Science Officer, Brazos Minshew reviewed the 4 benefits of Nopalea. Brazos provided information on the science and research behind the plants that Michael mentioned on his trip through the Sonoran Desert. He highlighted the science behind the product and its positive impact on inflammation and cellular health. As the chief formulator for the product along with support from TriVita’s Product Team, Brazos proudly reviewed why you will want to share this new product from TriVita.
Just before the break, Marcus gave each person in the audience a bottle of Nopalea. The Nopalea bottle is beautifully packaged and promises to have the visual ‘pop’ when you share it. Nopalea tastes as great as it looks. During the break, guests were allowed to have a taste of the product. Those in attendance were already talking about having tasting parties with product samples and showing the Nopalea DVD. The first half of the session focused on The Nopalea experience. This included the Nopalea story, production, science, taste and a free bottle.
After the taste test, the Healing Plants of the Sonoran Desert DVD, produced by Marcus Ellison, was played in its entirety. This program showed how easy it is to share Nopalea – just hand out the DVD and let it tell the story for you. One hundred complementary DVDs were given as a gift to each person who attended the kick-off event. This DVD allows you to be the messenger and not the message. The second half of the event showed how you can take the Nopalea experience and share and earn with it.
The afternoon continued with Ted Hernandez reviewing the 3 step success system found in the Share and Earn program.
Each attendee received the program guide so they could see how easy this system is to share with others. The 3 steps Ted reviewed included; 1)Share the Nopalea Story, 2)Pay it Forward, 3)Create Duplication. This introduction will be reviewed on the Tuesday training calls.
Cinda Malouin, TriVita’s Director of Marketing, reviewed the marketing initiatives that support Nopalea.
