ISSUE 4 - 2011
“What is The GNLD Opportunity” is a
good question, and sometimes it does
appear to have many answers. Firstly, it is a
home-based business, made up of four
distinct parts:
1. The GNLD Company, a support
structure for the business that has
been developed over the past
50 years.
2. An extensive range of great, highquality,
everyday consumable
products.
3. A compensation plan that rewards
all who participate in sharing these
products.
4. People, regardless of background,
education, experience, or age, who
want to make a positive difference in
their lives and in the lives of others.
The synergistic effect of these four
parts is The GNLD Opportunity:
• An opportunity for everyday people to
participate in some of the major business
trends in the world today, such as
Wellness, Environmental Concerns, and
Home-based Business.
• An opportunity to enjoy better health
by using the GNLD products and
participating in the GNLD way of life.
• An opportunity to improve both lifestyle
and your financial wellbeing.
• An opportunity for security in the
knowledge that what you build in GNLD
is yours and will belong to your family for
generations to come.
• An opportunity to enjoy personal growth
in order to achieve your potential and
the success you seek.
To achieve these great benefits, make
the decision to participate fully, to be
totally focused and single-minded in
the pursuit of your goals and dreams,
knowing that they are all possible
through The GNLD Opportunity.

BRINGING OUT THE
BEST IN CHILDREN
STEP-UPS
CONGRATULATIONS
SAPPHIRE DIRECTORS!
“ My niece called me for advice because her 2-year-old
son Ethan, seemed to be sick all the time. She worried
about him taking antibiotics so often. I suggested she
start him on a daily supplement program that includes
Vita-Squares, Vita-Gard, and NouriShake. That was four
years ago and Ethan is now an active, healthy little boy
who rarely even catches a cold!
I’m proud of the nickname they gave me: Auntie-Oxidant.”
Christine Richardson

Ana and I hope to inspire others to
visualize themselves achieving their
dreams. With faith and hard work,
we can all reach our goals.”

GNLD Products
A
SECOND
CHANCE
AT LIFE
From getting her final affairs in order
to planning a ski trip, GNLD’s Pro
Vitality, Active 40, and Acidophilus
Plus dramatically changed the course
of Liz Moore’s life.
Can you imagine facing your three
daughters, ages 16, 13, and 10, to
tell them their mother did not have
much longer to live Liz Moore and
her husband Andy faced their worst
moments back in early January of
2008. Since 1992, Liz had battled Lyme
disease and by 2007, she had run out
of traditional treatment options.
As her condition progressed, her vitality
depleted rapidly. Towards the end of 2007,
she was bed-ridden for over nine months.
“I was losing more and more vitality with
each passing day. I felt my life slipping
away. It got to the point that just looking
at my girls caused me grief; I couldn’t stop
thinking about all the milestones in their
lives that I would miss.”
With a completely depleted immune
system, she was extremely susceptible
to infection. “At one point, I had a terrible
infection that my doctor could not
control with antibiotics, nor determine
the cause. Then we realized that a
paper-cut was the culprit. How about
that I was dying from a paper-cut.”
In late January of 2008, fortuitous circumstances
required Liz to attend an activity
with her eldest daughter. While standing in
line in a cafeteria, Liz overhead a woman
talking about products that boost the
immune system. She was captivated by
what (GNLD Sapphire Director) Susan
Adams was saying and after thorough
research, began taking Pro Vitality,
Active 40, and Acidophilus Plus. Only
two months later, she felt strong enough
to join her husband and daughters for a
day of skiing, catching a glimpse of what
an active life with them could be. “Little
by little, I regained my strength and by
September of 2008, I was back. After
years of illness, GNLD gave me a second
chance at life. And I’m loving it.” n

Change Lives
BACK TO WORK—
BACK TO LIFE!
Thanks to GNLD’s Tre-en-en,
Lipotropic Adjunct, and Salmon
Oil Plus, Elodia Martinez returned
to working the hours her salon
business required—and to being
the wife and mom she wants to be.
“For more than 9 years, I suffered with
neck and shoulder pain. To some, this
may sound minor, but as the owner
of a beauty salon, it impacted not just
my wellbeing, but my finances. While
working with clients, I would experience
sharp pains in my neck which seemed
to shoot down my shoulder and arm.
Sometimes I would cry out in pain.
This discomfort often led me to close the
shop early to seek treatment. In addition
to that loss of income, the treatments—
such as physical therapy—were costly.
I was very unhappy and stressed,
which of course, caused my family to
suffer too.
And then I discovered GNLD. Once I
began taking Tre-en-en, Lipotropic
Adjunct, and Salmon Oil Plus, I
noticed a slight improvement within just
seven days. After several weeks, I could
not believe how much better I felt. I no
longer needed physical therapy, I could
work the longer hours I needed to, and
most importantly, I was happy and
energetic again. My husband and my
daughters saw me return to the happy
wife and mother I used to be. We all
take GNLD supplements now.” n

GNLD Welcomes
10,000 th Newest
North American
Distributor!
It’s A Good Time For
Direct Selling And a
Great Time To Be
With GNLD!
In The Faces of Network Marketing, an article recently published by
Direct Selling News, Tory Johnson, career recruitment specialist and
CEO and founder of Women For Hire, notes the boom in the Direct
Selling industry. She states “Network Marketing is not just an option
for someone who’s lost their job. It’s a business opportunity. It’s a
viable career path and an amazing supplement opportunity.” While
unemployment numbers soared throughout the world with news of
companies’ downsizing reported on a daily basis, the Direct Selling
industry grew. According to the Direct Selling Association (DSA), in
2010, direct selling companies generated more than $125 billion in
revenue in 150 countries, through more than 75 million people.
Understanding the power of this industry, at GNLD’s North American
2010 Opportunity Meetings, Executive Vice President, Americas
Anjana Srivastava issued a challenge. While acknowledging the
difficult economic times we face, Anjana reminded the audience of
GNLD Distributors that they have the power to create sustainable
livelihoods. Noting that GNLD Distributors control their own destinies
and that they are not susceptible to downsizing, Anjana challenged
each person to join her in GNLD’s goal of creating 10,000 new
economic opportunities from that date.
Distributors across North America accepted the challenge and
on August 18, 2011, they met that goal! Congratulations to all
Distributors who grew their GNLD businesses over the past
eighteen months, and especially to the 10,000 th newest Distributor,
Gloria Alvarez, and her upline, Edgardo and Ana Moreno. Edgardo
and Ana are new World Team members from Los Angeles, California.
We look forward to seeing their team continue to grow. n

GNLD’s new offices and Distributor Center
in Kingston.
This day-long celebration of food, friendship,
and GNLD team-building, was highlighted
by personal stories from GNLD Leaders, a
special welcome by Executive Vice President,
Americas Anjana Srivastava, and even the
appearance of local boxing celebrity,
Sakima Mullings.
Distributors enjoyed visiting with Sakima,
who recently became the Commonwealth
Zonal Middleweight Champion and hearing
about the role GNLD products play in his
intense training. A slideshow of memorable
GNLD moments of the past decades was
definitely a crowd-pleaser.
1 Ruby Director Delroy Grant, known as the
Grandfather of GNLD Jamaica, was the
very first GNLD Jamaican Distributor back
in 1995 and received a rousing welcome
from the crowd. Delroy commented, “At this
event, we feel a powerful energy. Let’s keep
that passion going!” n
With the purchase
of any GNLD products,
Distributors received a
special GNLD tote bag.

THE POWER & COMFORT OF

Heartburn and indigestion are more than just
unpleasant disturbances; they are signs that
you are not getting the complete benefits
from the nutrients in your food. Digestive
challenges may also limit food choices.
While many people react to digestive
challenges by using medications once
they experience discomfort, a growing
trend is to realize the benefits of a proactive
approach—using all natural GNLD
supplements to support digestive health.*
GNLD’s specially targeted formulas deliver
broad range digestive support so you can
enjoy a wide variety of foods with confidence
and comfort. Help your digestive system
function at its best.*

FARM FIELDS
» Where something grows, how it grows,
even the seed stock from which it’s grown
can be important determinants of quality.
Our standards demand that only sources
meeting our strict qualifications, such as
fields in the least disturbed and most natural
environments available, be selected.
Quality is GNLD’s highest
priority! Everything that goes into every
GNLD product must first meet our stringent
quality requirements. Every supplier and
every raw material must qualify before it
can be used by meeting our strict demands
for purity, potency, consistency, origin, and
many other quality-critical factors. Through
our integrated global supply structure
all of this is monitored and managed by
teams of highly skilled people in a state-ofthe-art
quality assurance program that is
unsurpassed in our industry. The batch code
that appears on every single GNLD product
acts as a window into that system that allows
us to track every ingredient from its point of
origin to its ultimate consumption.
Nowhere is the rigor and benefits of this
system more apparent than in the vast array
of plant derived phytonutrients that make
up the core of our nutritional supplement
product line. From Tre-en-en Grain
Concentrates to whole food Carotenoids
to the berry-derived polyphenols in Tré,
through this system we can literally track
plant-sourced ingredients “From the Farm to
the Table.” This assures you of the product
purity, potency, consistency, value, and
effectiveness for which GNLD is legendary.
From the
FARM
To the
TABLE

RAW CROP ANALYSIS
» Because of these same demanding
standards, crops are continually analyzed
for nutrient content and quality.
PROCESSING
» Process is another key determinant
of quality. That’s why only state-of-theart
equipment guarantees the purest
extractions and concentrates with an
absolute minimum of processed alteration.
QUARANTINE, LAB ANALYSIS AND
CONFIRMATION, RELEASE
» Purity is crucial to maintaining quality. All
raw materials are held under strict quarantine
and cannot be released until laboratory tests
for purity and potency are verified. Only then
is the product delivered to the raw materials
warehouse.
MANUFACTURE
» On site equipment combines various
raw materials into different forms with
maximum efficiency, guaranteeing
consistency from batch
to batch.
PRODUCT DELIVERED
» Even after GNLD products are delivered
right to your door, batch numbers on every
label allow us to answer your questions on
ingredients or quality.
MORE Q.C. AND
LABORATORY ANALYSIS
» Leading-edge science continues to
define GNLD’s quality control. All final
products are tested and certified by the
most reliable scientific methods to ensure
safety, quality, and effectiveness.
PRODUCT ON THE TABLE
» It’s time for you, your family, and your
friends to enjoy the high quality and many
benefits of GNLD products.
Q.C./Q.A. INSPECTIONS AND
RETAIN STORAGE
» Ongoing inspection and retention
guarantee a future of quality. Meticulous
inspection continues on the packaging
line. Samples are retained and collected to
facilitate further tracking.
Each GNLD product is the end
result of top-quality work by
leading scientists, researchers, and
nutrition professionals, work that is
based in state of the art technology
and manufacturing and the very
latest science. This guarantees you
the very best products in the world,
every step of the way—from the
Farm to the Table.

SCORING POINTS
with GNLD!
World-class rugby player Patrick Lambie powers past opponents
Photo courtesy of Gerhard Duraan
At the age of 21, the remarkable skill
and composure of Patrick Lambie has
brought him international attention in
the world of professional rugby.
Patrick was a key player for the Natal
Sharks in 2010, playing fullback, centre,
and then half-fly. In the Currie Cup final,
Patrick scored 25 of the 30 Sharks’
points to defeat Western Province 30-
10 and was named Man of the Match.
He was selected to join the elite national
team, the Springboks, where he scored
his first international points moments
after entering his first game.
Perhaps one of the most physically
demanding sports, rugby requires
agility, strength, and endurance. As
with most competitive-level sports,
staying healthy is an important part of
an athlete’s success. Patrick attributes
GNLD supplements with his good
health and peak performance. “When I
stopped using the products for a short
while, I got sick,” says Patrick. “I love
Pro Vitality because it is packed with
all the nutrients I need and comes
in convenient packets, so I can take
them anywhere I go.” In addition to Pro
Vitality, Patrick uses PhytoDefense
and GR 2 Meal Replacement Protein
Shakes to keep him ready for the field.
“When I moved to the Sharks, several
players were already using GNLD
Products, so I knew GNLD was right
for me.”
Patrick is a final year student in environmental
management and is glad
to promote GNLD Products which
complement his passion for the environment.
GNLD looks forward to being at
the side of this up-and-coming athlete
as his career continues to soar. n
