Allysian Sciences: Review
Allysian Sciences was founded by 8 time Olympic Medalist Apolo Ohno, he holds his credibility here... in his promotional video, his company claims to make 180 billion dollars a year. There is not a lot of information on the company and they are operating in a niche. They are taking advantage of students' and employees' desire to enhance their minds and increase performance. Specifically mentioned in their target audience were programmers.
Is it a scam? If it doesn't work for you sure. Legally no it is not. Read on and decide for yourself!
I have looked into brain enhancers in the past and found out they help a little but are not worth the money. Go buy an energy drink, it does nearly the same thing, and contains similar ingredients.
I decided to write this review today because, like you who found this blog, I was intrigued by their product and promotional videos. I found a post on LinkedIN, and said wow that sounds too good to be true.
The first thing I thought this was going to turn out to be a pyramid scheme. Before we dismiss it come along with me while we research the company and their product.
They are operating in a niche market involving "brain enhancing supplements", and are not FDA approved, as seen in the footer on their website.
If we look at their Leadership Team, They do not have anyone listed who has the scientific expertise of creating this brain stimulating product.
They have 6 product lines and do not give any Nutrition Fact Labels. They do the name some ingredients that are widely recognized like Ginseng, which can be found in your Red Bull or Monster energy drink...
You can see their research here, but I will summarize it for you, they only used 20 subjects in their 30 day experiment. They are not required by law to do any research but I think this small amount of data is pretty useless and they do not go into depth about any of the research.
Affiliate
This is the job opportunity I saw on LinkedIN. It is essentially a marketing job opportunity.Here are some product prices:
Last up is the prices for the package bundles to become an Affiliate and it is not CHEAP...
It costs $960 to start up... you could go a little safer and buy a cheaper kit but you do not get everything. One package is targeting females, while the other is targeting males. If you do not buy the PRO KIT your options are limited based on gender.
In summary, I do not like these types of business models and do not recommend them to your average person. If you have a social media account with thousands of followers to market to, you will have to put a lot of effort in to possibly make little to no money at all...
Thanks for taking the time to post a review. It is tempting to think something like this might work, but my experience with nutraceuticals (which I like to call pills, powders and potions) that I have tried in the past is that I have never noticed any change or benefit. Seems like it will cost a couple hundred dollars to try a months worth of the various products, not sure I am up for that.
