Agravitae operates within the dietary complement MLM area of interest.
The corporate was based in 2022 and is predicated out of California.
Heading up Agravitae now we have founder Ken Owen (aka Kenneth Owen).
As per Owen’s Agravitae company bio;
Ken Owen, founding father of Agravitae, grew up on a small farm in Oregon. After a prolific profession in advertising and marketing and actual property, Ken knew he at all times wished to return to his roots.
Quickly sufficient he found what’s now TKO farms – a hardwood and tropical fruit farm in Tea Kettle, Belize.

Becoming a member of Agravitae
Agravitae don’t brazenly disclose becoming a member of prices to shoppers.
Agravitae Conclusion
Agravitae do some issues proper with disclosures but additionally withhold essential info from shoppers.
From what I collect, Agravitae is Ken Owen placing his TKO farms produce to make use of. Owen owns each TKO farms from which uncooked components for Agravitae’s merchandise are sourced, in addition to Agravitae itself.
That is full disclosed on Agravitae’s web site so I don’t have an issue with the ethics of it.
Firm possession particulars are readily disclosed, in addition to full retail pricing for shoppers.
Then now we have essential facets of Agravitae’s MLM alternative hidden from shoppers, specifically becoming a member of prices and compensation particulars.
I don’t know what the story is there but it surely leaves shoppers unable to make an knowledgeable determination about Agravitae.
I’ve to place a query mark on becoming a member of prices. From what I used to be in a position to collect newly recruited Agravitae associates should put in a product order, or not less than the choice to order is offered through the enroll course of.
Whether or not there are any extra and/or ongoing prices is unknown.
As to Agravitae’s merchandise, soursop MLM alternatives are nothing new:
It must be famous that none of those MLM corporations are nonetheless in enterprise. Soursop/Graviola dietary supplements are additionally available on retailer web sites and thru well being complement retail shops.
Agravitae’s energy right here is in controlling the farming of their fruit and manufacturing. How vital that is to you I can’t reply however would probably point out a better grade of high quality.
That stated we’re largely speaking about dried dietary supplements so any measurable variations with respect to dietary values could also be negligible.
One product I assumed would most likely be a tough promote are Agravitae’s cacao bars. $12 for one bar appears a bit wealthy (no pun supposed).
Chocolate is a promoting level for these bars and as somebody with a candy tooth, I couldn’t see myself selecting a $12 85 g bar over a couple of blocks of first rate high quality chocolate.
Shifting onto Agravitae’s compensation plan, issues are fairly simple with neither an unbalanced give attention to retail gross sales or recruitment.
One apparent level of enchancment over tiered retail commissions is the inclusion of necessary retail gross sales quantity tied to affiliate ranks.
A minimum of half of required PV at every rank must be required retail gross sales quantity, ideally extra.
With none ratios hardcoded into the compensation plan, shoppers are pressured to establish for themselves how their upline is operating their Agravitae enterprise.
As a potential Agravitae affiliate, you wish to learn how a lot your potential upline is ordering every month. You then wish to evaluate this to their common generated retail order quantity over the previous few months.
There’s must be nothing secretive about this info so take any hesitation to give you knowledge as a crimson flag.
Why that is vital pertains to Agravitae probably working as a pyramid scheme. With no required retail quantity, it’s potential for Agravitae associates to disregard retail and simply give attention to recruitment.
Sometimes this might contain autoship recruitment, whereby Agravitae associates are solely autoship and getting paid to recruit associates additionally on autoship.
To be clear, there’s nothing flawed with affiliate recruitment and autoship in and of itself – supplied equal retail gross sales order quantity can be being generated.
Personally I’d put down the brakes on signing up with Agravitae except you’re in a position to verify:
- becoming a member of prices
- compensation particulars and
- your potential upline’s retail/order ratio
Pending Agravitae addressing its disclosure failings, that are potential FTC Act violations, method with warning.
