What the Hoodia?

Change is Tough

Yesterday, Plexus Ambassadors were greeted with a change to our beloved product. Due to Hoodia being derived from a plant that is now considered to be an endangered species under CITES Appendix II, Plexus Corporate has decided to remove Hoodia from the Plexus Slim product.

Some might naturally express a little bit of apprehension about this, after all, we love Plexus Slim and what it has done for us, and as Ambassadors we are invested in sharing that experience with as many people as possible. But let's just take a look at this situation for what it is. Plexus is obviously a rapidly growing business, that has been built by a reputation of having outstanding products that actually work. That being said, Plexus Corporate offices would never intentionally do anything to harm that reputation or the growth possibilities of the company.

Let's face the facts. We have a big 'ol target on our backs when it comes to our competition, and they would like nothing more than to see us fail. Fortunately for us, Plexus was built by people who understand the chemistry. It is easy to overreact to news of this sort. When grape seed extract was removed from the Slim over concerns of some people having negative reactions to it, there were people saying that the Slim didn't work the same, and that people weren't losing weight. I am here to tell you that my wife and I built the majority of our Plexus business after that point on the testimonies that have continued to flow in!

Sure, we don't like to hear that things change, but the changes that Plexus has made have always been for the betterment of the company as a whole. Removing the Hoodia is a responsible decision, and it should give all of us Ambassadors confidence in our company as the decision reflects the visionary planning of our leadership. Plexus intends to be around for a long time. The same goes for the change from Accelerator to Accelerator+. Plexus informed us that it might take some time for those who were on the old Accelerator to get used to the new formula. And though the Accelerator+ does have different effects than the original Accelerator, the positive reports have continued to pour in from new customers who are having tremendous results with the Plexus Slim and Accelerator+ combo.

As for how removal of the Hoodia contained in Plexus Slim might affect the results of the use of the product, tests have shown no difference in Slim's efficacy. Hoodia is used as an appetite suppressant, but the fact is Plexus Slim contains other ingredients that are known to have a greater impact on hunger than Hoodia.

The bottom line is "change is change". We typically don't like it, but understanding the bigger picture can help one to appreciate change, and recognize that in order to continue to thrive, we must show that we can adapt to it.

  1. Thank you Tim, for a wonderful article on the upcoming change. I was thinking the same things in my head, but could never put them on paper as eloquently as you did. Thank you!
