When Zija International launched one of their newest product divisions, Améo Essential Oils, they made a commitment to provide the highest-quality essential oils on the market today.
They have been able to do this through applied scientific advancement. Zija’s Vice President of Research and Development, Dr. Joshua Plant, says, “While the examination of essential oils are improving, studying their interrelationships and synergies has not been an applied science. Améo Essential Oils have committed itself to delivering the best that nature has to offer through applied scientific advancement.”
Dr. Plant and his team of researchers recently conducted an in-depth analysis of 31 different Améo Essential Oils in what is called a CaCo-2 Assay. CaCo-2 is a vetted mechanism that determines the bioavailability (the amount of the substance entering the body’s cells) of specific constituents across the intestinal track; it can also be used to measure the absorbability of nutrients in different environments.
“In the process of conducting this assay on Améo Essential Oils we made several important and exciting discoveries. For example, we found that there is a subset of constituents in Améo Essential Oils that we now refer to as SuperCarriers,” says Dr. Plant. “They share a unique characteristic that intestinal cells actively

Avon’s Downtrend Continues And Hits 52 Week Low
by Tina Williams • • 0 Comments
Share price of Avon Products Inc. has been witnessing a downtrend for about over a year as the company has lost its luster due to continuous loss of active representatives, declining volume, unfavorable foreign currency translations and reduced margins in mature markets like North America. Consequently, shares of this New York-based global beauty company hit a new 52-week low of $8.54 yesterday, before closing trade at $8.61. Moreover, the stock has tumbled about 49.6% year over year.
The aforementioned factors have led Avon to produce distressed operating results over the past few quarters. Further, weakness in the emerging markets as well as regulatory and cash flow issues risking dividend are the other negatives.
Additionally, over the last four years, Avon has witnessed a declining revenue trend in North America, especially in the U.S., mainly due to a decrease in active representatives, partly offset by large average order. Total revenue from this region has declined considerably from about $2,293.4 million in 2009 to nearly $1,458.2 million in 2013. Further, revenues from this region have also declined so far in fiscal 2014, reporting an 8% fall in the third quarter. The company’s management is concerned about the decline in revenues and has been constantly striving to

Kannaway has started the New Year with a bang. Multimillionaire mentor, author of “The Dean Effect” and world-renowned network marketing sales leader, Robert L. Dean, Jr., has joined Kannaway, the network marketing industry’s rapidly growing hemp lifestyle company.
“I am looking forward to the run of my life with Kannaway!” Dean states.

Around the world, hemp is known as a “super food,” “low THC cannabis” and “industrial hemp.” The ancient plant is well documented for its unique capability of producing more than 25,000 products from building materials, clean energy, auto parts, functional foods, personal care products and so much more. The industrial hemp plant is cultivated for its hemp seeds (a.k.a. “hemp hearts”), hemp seed oil, and all-natural cannabidiol or “CBD” oil that cannot get anyone “high” or “stoned.”
