Natural Health Trends Corp Review

Natural Health Trends happens to be a textbook example of how online network marketing companies should be run. They've got everything it takes – well let's stay “all the right ingredients” – for a successful networking marketing company to run its product to the mainstream market and make it big.

I say “all the right ingredients” because sometimes you can have all the essential factors in place for success, but there's something not quite quantifiable that's also required for true success…as if the whole is actually greater than the sum of its parts.

Does Natural Health Trends have that ‘magical property” which will make it not only a successful company but also a winning proposition for interested parties who want to become part of the game by joining as distributors? Let's find out…

The NHTC Company

Remember just a bit ago when I said “all the right ingredients”? Well here they are:

1. History. NHT Corp, as they're sometimes also called, have been around since January of 2001. The parent company, Natural Health Trends Corp has been around even longer- 23 years.
2. Global Reach. They started in the US, with subsequent entries into the Canadian, Asian, and Russia + East geographical areas. They are now present in more than 40 countries.
3. Stellar Management Team. Chris Sharng, President, has impeccable credentials, including VP of International Finance at Mattel, Inc. Scott Davidson, Senior VP and CFO, was Manager of Financial Reporting for IP Communications Inc, Corporate Controller for Celion Networks, Inc, and Audit Manager for Arthur Anderson, LLP. Master's degree in professional accounting from U Texas/Austin.
4. Stellar Board of Directors. Real business people who protect the interests of the shareholders…yes National Health Trends Inc has gone public and trades on the stock exchange. The stock (NHTC) was even upgraded recently from “sell” to “buy”. This is an indicator that the company is doing well, by the way.
5. DSA Member. It's good when mlm companies are part of the Direct Selling Association because it means they're legitimate companies who won't try and rip you off.

See what I mean? All the right ingredients so far. But how good are the products? Let's take a look.

The NHT Global Products

Natural Health Trends Corporation has three main areas of products:

1. NHT Global Beauty Line. These products are facial beauty regimens for women, like Soothe Repair Therapy, and non-surgical facelift creams.
2. NHT Global Lifestyle Line. Here we have things like Alura for vasodilation (migraine relief, female sexual enhancer, ulcers and more), LaVie for cardiovascular health and circulation, and Twin Slim for weight management.
3. NHT Global Wellness Line. Here we have things like Noni fruit drinks for the immune system, Glucosamine 2200 for joint pain and stiffness, and Trifusion Max™ for optimal body functioning.

On the NHT Global website, each product is carefully described and info is supplemented by a separate, impressive full color info brochure and a blown-up image of the ingredients and supplement facts label. We like this sort of transparency, and any time you're selling food products and beauty products, I consider it to be a requirement.

The NHTC Compensation Plan

They state right on their website that more than $15 million in commissions and bonuses was paid out to distributors in 2012. That's above and beyond what distributors make when they sell retail products at a markup.

How it Works:

1. Enroll by paying $100 for the Business Builder Pack
2. Activate with your first order- yours or your customers'.
3. Sponsor two distributors who go through steps one and two, above.

Now you can earn:

• Buy wholesale and sell retail, keep the difference.
• Commissions on direct sales.
• Generational bonuses: earn bonus off sales volume of personally sponsored distributors down the 3 levels.
• Based on sales, earn more bonuses.
• Matching bonuses down to 3 levels.

The National Health Trends Corp Verdict

Trust is a funny thing: if you have it, the world is your oyster. The more I find out about Natural Health Trends, the more I trust the company and believe in their mission, their methods, and their products…and eventually myself and my ability to make money with the Natural Health Trends compensation plan. It's definitely worth a second glance if you've got a market for beauty and wellness products.
