Hi. I'm a former employee of that company. (Was not a salesperson - I worked in a corporate analyst gig.) Only approximately 8,000 out of their 2M current distributors take home $100/mo in commissions or more. Million dollar lifetime earners are rather rare, I think the company had approximately 700 when I last checked. When you're talking about a company that's been around 30 years, it's not exactly churning out tons of millionaires. If a rep sells a $30 bottle of pills, they'll see around $10 in commission, if they can manage to sell it without offering any discounts (which come out of their pay.)

As for the products, Pharmanex products are basically the same kinds of products that you can buy in any herbal/natural health supplement store, but priced much higher.

For example:

A 30 capsule count of their Teagreen product is $30 retail (shipping not incl.). Each capsule has 250 mg Green tea leaf Extract.

I can buy two 100 count packs of 315 mg Green Tea Leaf Extract capsules on Amazon for $13 with free shipping.

I can probably do a similar comparison on most of their other products. It's not that the products are terrible or anything - but they're terribly overpriced.
