In 1975, a Japanese man by the name of Isamu Masuda founded a MLM company called Nikken. It took several countries including America by storm in the early 90’s. Offering a therapeutic magnet designed to ease sore muscles and take the edge off of body pain which has helped them rake in over $1.5 billion dollars in sales. They have steady sales in over 30 countries and have turned a profit the last 25 years.

While this magnet is being questioned by scientific researchers, Nikken still maintains their claim that their product is a break through in natural pain relief. According to their scientists who studied it; the magnet stores a form of energy that when placed in contact with an achy muscle is supposed to release itself which will “recharge” the muscle. A little far-fetched maybe, but according to Nikken’s supporters it works. Whether this statement is accurate or not doesn’t seem to impact their business since they are still growing. Now they have developed a number of other health related products that are intended to “address major concerns of modern living: stress, discomfort, well-being and health”.

As far as Nikken being the right business to join, it is not for the penniless entrepreneurs. It is said to be one of the more expensive of the MLM businesses but that is not always a bad thing. Here in America there is a little saying that goes, “You get what you pay for” which usually proves itself to be true. To get the full package you will have to spend close to $50 for the starter kit and in order to have any success with it buy their Demo Pak and Career Pak. While this is quite an investment, many people are claiming it to be beneficial. The cost hasn’t seemed to discourage new members, to date they have reported to have more than 30,000 American distributors.

Overall, Nikken has never done anything that rings a bell of suspicion and has at least proven to be a credible company. Based on all the facts, it would be one of the better MLM companies to at least look into. As with most of these markets it will take a motivated person to get anyone to pay $25 for a magnet, but apparently it does have potential.
