Blugenics operates within the dietary complement MLM area of interest. The corporate supplies a company tackle in Nevada on its web site.
Heading up Blugenics we’ve CEO Paul Redmayne and COO Eric Swaim.
Paul Redmayne is thought to BehindMLM as:
- co-founder of RevStar World, a Ponzi successor to the infamous Banners Dealer Ponzi (2014)
Eric Swaim was Vice-President of Blue Fowl Bids. When the Ponzi collapsed, partly because of Swaim elevating issues of inner manipulation, Swaim took management and transformed what was left into PureNRG FX.
PureNRG FX launched in 2013 and was completed by 2014. Swaim re-joined Redmayne in RevStar World as Vice President of Gross sales in 2014.
RevStar World is lengthy gone and there’s a substantial hole in Redmayne’s and Swaim’s MLM historical past.
Quick ahead to mid 2023 and Redmayne and Swaim launched Bimble Saving Membership:
So far as I can inform, Bimble Financial savings Membership was a travel-themed MLM pyramid scheme.
Bimble Financial savings Membership’s web site is now not accessible, which leads into Blugenics launching its MLM alternative sooner or later.
I’d like to be a bit extra particular however, like Redmayne and Swaim, Blugenics doesn’t have a lot of a digital footprint.
What I did come throughout was this 2020 advertising and marketing video that includes Dave Hunter, during which he cites himself as founder and CEO of Blugenics Improvements.
Bluegenics Improvements was based in 2015, initially as a non-MLM firm.
As per Blugenics Innovation’s LinkedIn profile;
Blugenics Improvements is a number one Canadian firm that focuses on the event and distribution of high-quality marine phytoplankton merchandise.
Our flagship model, Karen for Good Well being, is the most important phytoplankton complement model in North America, providing a variety of well being advantages to our prospects.
Someday after Bimble Financial savings Membership collapsed, Hunter seems to have employed Redmayne and Swaim to entrance an MLM facet of the enterprise, Blugenics Naturals.
Notice that whereas Blugenics Improvements is a Canadian firm, Blugenics Naturals cites itself as “a U.S based mostly firm”. I’m undecided if there’s something extra to that than an LLC shell firm registered in Nevada.
To maintain issues easy this evaluate will merely confer with Blugenics Improvements and Blugenics Naturals as “Blugenics”.
Learn on for a full evaluate of Blugenics’ MLM alternative.

Blugenics Conclusion
Algae complement MLM firms are nothing new. Over time BehindMLM has reviewed FGXPress (2013) and ForeverGreen (2013).
We’ve additionally reviewed a bunch of blue-green algae MLM firms however apparently that is completely different to marine phytoplankton.
Anyway, an ocean algae drink is about as appetizing as you’re picturing it.
And Blugenics’ try to handle this head on doesn’t precisely hit the mark.
It could take some folks time for his or her physique to adapt to the style of pure diet.
Ultimately your physique will crave the nori-flavor of Gaditana. To assist get began, combine with pineapple juice or applesauce to masks the style!
I needed to lookup what “nori taste” was. That is from Effective Eating Lovers;
One of many major flavours of nori is salt. It has a comparatively robust, sea-like flavour with out tasting fishy.
Yeah fairly certain my physique isn’t going to be ever be craving sea water.
When was the final time you went swimming within the ocean, unintentionally took in a mouthful and… Y’know what, I believe over time I’d crave this. Extra of this disgusting tasting “pure diet” please!”
Searching for to distinguish itself from different MLM firms promoting marine phytoplankton dietary supplements, Blugenics claims;
David Hunter has been an advocate for the therapeutic advantages of Marine Phytoplankton since 2006, pushed by a private therapeutic journey and the constructive modifications he has witnessed in others.
His work with main growers and scientists has led to important improvements in phytoplankton diet and associated fields.
All Phytoplankton you see on-line is rooted in David Hunter’s efforts. Whether it is low cost….it’s a copycat they usually don’t care about your end-result.
They put their product there to “catch the finances pleasant client who doesn’t know the historical past of this valuable nutrient”. It’s grown in synthetic seawater (fish behave unnaturally in synthetic seawater).
The product seems to be in another way beneath a microscope (like a reduction ugly vegetable) doesn’t get the outcomes and may’t provide contract producers with the right security documentation.
If the product is a little more costly, it’s almost definitely an innovation David Hunter was part of earlier than this chance was conceived.
I don’t understand how true that’s however marine phytoplankton dietary supplements are definitely broadly obtainable for much lower than what Blugenics fees.
This advertising and marketing declare on Blugenics web site additionally caught my eye;
Floor-breaking analysis is being revealed on Gaditana Authentic & the advantages provided to canines in stopping or treating most cancers.
We’re excited to share these outcomes with you as quickly as they’re publish! [sic]
Yeah, probably not certain how making most cancers claims about purportedly pending (peer-reviewed?) analysis goes so far as the FTC Act and FDA are involved.
Personally I believe “leaping the gun” is a bit scummy. And I converse from first-hand expertise right here, particularly relating to pet homeowners and most cancers.
Dig deeper into Blugenics’ advertising and marketing and it’s fairly apparent they imagine their dietary supplements can deal with all method of illnesses;
A number of analysis is displaying that there’s measurable constructive exercise happening inside a human or pet when that is consumed.
Nothing has been reported unfavorable. If you happen to simply use logic, perceive this can be a pure type of diet. Everybody is aware of nutritious meals is sweet for you.
We imagine our meals and diet is compromised and over time it generates delicate to extreme well being points. The physique is ravenous for diet, micro vitamins, fatty acids, antioxidants, and so forth that it NEEDS to function the physique.
If the physique receives what it’s lacking, the physique can heal itself. It’s quite simple regulation of trigger and impact.
This mockingly has by no means been found earlier than, so for this reason these outcomes have been by no means seen earlier than.
What precisely are “these outcomes”? I don’t know and Blugenics doesn’t cite any particular examples.
I get the sensation that is type of “hush hush solely behind closed doorways” nonsense, as a result of y’know… pesky rules and all that.
Shifting onto Blugenics’ compensation plan, issues don’t get any higher.
Whereas retail commissions are doable, the core of Blugenics’ compensation plan may be very clearly autoship recruitment.
This begins by forcing all recruited associates to buy Blugenics merchandise. And continues by forcing associates to buy merchandise to qualify for MLM commissions.
Naturally, Blugenics autoship is introduced as a “fee qualifier” as a substitute of a a method to order required merchandise on a daily schedule.
To your comfort, the corporate provides you a technique, so that you by no means miss your qualification through a Blugenics Month-to-month Order (BMO).
An MLM firm forcing associates to buy merchandise and advertising and marketing autoship as a fee qualifier are each examples of “pay to play”.
Pay to play in MLM is a robust indicator of a pyramid scheme.
Once more, retail commissions are doable in Blugenics however the bulk of the compensation plan revolves round signing up, happening autoship and recruiting others who do the identical.
I additionally don’t know what’s up with Blugenics’ “as much as” residual commissions. As written Blugenics pays you nothing, or “as much as” the required quantity.
Why is that this? If I’ve generated quantity throughout my binary crew why is an “as much as” fee fee paid out? As beforehand said, Blugenics don’t clarify why this so it stays a thriller till addressed.
Put all of this collectively and you’ve got:
- a horrible tasting product
- a compensation plan that lends itself to autoship recruitment and
- executives contemporary off a earlier MLM pyramid scheme collapse
Straightforward keep away from in my thoughts however in any other case method with warning.
At a minimal buy some cheaper marine phytoplankton dietary supplements and determine whether or not drinkable sea water is even doable.
