More South Africans than ever before are looking for ways to generate income for their families. International company NeoLife, previously known as Golden Products and GNLD, offers people from all walks of life an opportunity to build a sustainable and profitable business, with low risk and no start-up capital, through promoting leading edge nutritional supplements, earth friendly homecare and organic skincare products.

Unemployment in South Africa, particularly among the youth, worsened during the Covid pandemic and more people than ever are seeking ways to generate income by working from home or starting small businesses. However, the success rate among local business start-ups is low.

Drew McDermid, Vice President of NeoLife in Southern Africa, explains, “The NeoLife direct-selling business model, with a 50-year history of successful operations in South Africa, enables people to increase their income in a practical way with no capital requirements (outside of a small sign on fee of under R1000). 

Distributors who join the NeoLife family promote a range of high-quality nutritional supplements, aimed at impacting the rising trend of chronic disease and promoting long-term health and vitality, to friends, neighbours and community members.”

NeoLife offers extensive training, business tools, personal development and ongoing mentorship to ensure that distributors are successful in their businesses. The company gives distributors a personalised website and mobile app and provides warehousing, marketing, logistics and training backup. 

“This allows the distributor to focus on the key income-generating aspects of their business,” adds McDermid.

More and more medical evidence points to the importance and value of supplements in a person’s diet. 

“Modern diets and lifestyles have generally resulted in a global trend towards poor health and research has shown that a bad diet is three times more dangerous than smoking in terms of negative impact.”

The result is that in the United States an estimated 80% of adults take a vitamin supplement daily. The corresponding number in South Africa is 48%,” says McDermid, “and that’s a huge business opportunity.”

Globally, NeoLife is at the cutting edge of supplement development and its products are backed by the investment of millions of dollars in independent scientific research and development, ensuring that they are of the highest quality and promote individual health.

In the current South African environment of high unemployment and rising cost of living, the NeoLife model therefore offers numerous South Africans an opportunity to re-engineer their financial future.
