I would like to thank CJ for this heads up. How else can we make informed decisions without information??? This doesn't mean I'll stay away from this company, nor that I will deal with them. That is up to me but it never hurts to be informed.
thanks CJ
Aimee

I hate to be a spoiler here, but this is incomplete information at best, and an outright lie at worst. There are some things people should know before purchasing anything from this company. (My experience goes back quite a few years, before I had EHS, and the company was still BioPro.)
First, this company is an MLM (multi-level marketing) and Maggi Garloff is a distributor. They call themselves "consultants," but their "consultation" is a thinly disguised way to introduce you to their products and "opportunity." Her failure to disclose this fact is to me, in itself, deceptive. Her website is a standard copy of the website all their "consultants" get.
The company used to be BioPro. They have been in myriad legal trouble almost since the beginning. Just google "BioPro scam" or "ray grimm scam artist" and take a look. A class action lawsuit was filed against them in Indiana in 2010 for violation of federal RICO statutes. That one may still be pending, I'm not sure. In an ultimate slippery move to disassociate from the reputation, they changed their name to Gia Wellness which is an umbrella for a bunch of MLMs. There is no way Maggi Garloff doesn't have "any knowledge of the turmoil surrounding the business."
I was burned by this company and its highly deceptive advertising years ago and did not find any benefit to their over-priced products. Make your own judgment, but do your due diligence first. --CJ
