When we think of coffee, images such as fresh roast, rich aroma and mocha may come to mind. What might not come to mind immediately are mushrooms; yet this fungus lies at the core of Organo Gold‘s success.

Organo Gold was established in 2008 with a mission of “bringing earth’s nutritional treasures directly to people around the globe.” Their products include an innovative coffee blend infused with Ganoderma lucidum.

What is Organo Gold?

ORGANO Gold is a premium coffee brand offering products infused with Ganoderma. Established in 2008 and based out of California, ORGANO Gold’s founder is Bernardo Chua who previously worked with Gano Excel’s multi-level marketing. ORGANO Gold’s products contain Ganoderma extract obtained by harvesting cracked shell spores from Ganoderma Lucidum mushrooms; one kilogram of mushrooms can produce one gram of Ganoderma Extract.

How does it work?

Organo Gold is a multilevel marketing company offering coffee, tea, nutritional supplements, grape seed oil and body care products. Their premium line features Ganoderma Lucidum (reishi) mushrooms which have proven health benefits. Organo Gold also offers generous compensation plans to reward distributors for their sales and recruiting efforts; for some distributors this company has become their main source of income.

As an independent distributor, it’s important to tailor your marketing efforts towards understanding the needs and wants of your niche market. Doing this can help avoid appearing pushy network marketers who could turn prospects away from listening or purchasing your product. In addition, be sure to highlight products’ benefits rather than simply the opportunity for commission earnings.

This website may not be duplicated, copied, sold, resold, visited or otherwise exploited commercially without Organo Gold’s prior written approval. You are prohibited from framing or employing other framing techniques to encase trademarks, logos or proprietary information (such as images, text page layout or forms) of Organo Gold without its express written consent and cannot use metatags or “hidden text” containing its name or trademarks without consent – any unauthorized use immediately terminates our permission and license granted by Organo Gold.

Organo Gold will reimburse Distributors up to 90% of the net cost of original purchase price(s), less shipping costs. If purchased directly from Organo Gold, an RMA number must be clearly printed on the outside package for it to be accepted by Organo Gold.

Any unauthorsied use of this website, such as collection and use of account information for another merchant, use of robots or similar data gathering and extraction tools, or similar activities will result in legal action taken against them by the Company.

Is it a pyramid scheme?

Organo Gold does not profess to be a pyramid scheme, yet many of its characteristics resemble one. For instance, more emphasis is given to recruiting new members than selling products to outsiders; startup costs are high; high-pressure motivational events are held regularly to promote its business; furthermore, products do not sell through retail stores or coffeehouses but instead through independent distributors.

Organo Gold’s primary product is coffee infused with the mushroom Ganoderma Lucidum, which is said to provide health benefits. They also produce personal care and supplement products; however, these have not been scientifically evaluated and results may differ depending on who uses them.

No matter the company’s claims, it is essential to remember that any multi-level marketing company could potentially qualify as a pyramid scheme if its primary business relies on recruitment over selling products. Furthermore, companies should avoid charging excessive start-up fees and should disclose clearly about their financial models.

Organo Gold has not registered its company in Guyana and has thus avoided taxes, which may prompt legal action by the government against it. Until that occurs, it would be wise to avoid dealing with any business not registered there and to not include references or insinuations of affiliation with Organo Gold in electronic messages sent out as this can constitute spam and lead to substantial penalties against senders.

Is it legal?

If you’re thinking about becoming an Organo Gold distributor, it is crucial that you familiarize yourself with their legal policies. According to their website, you are prohibited from sharing your OG ID without prior permission with third parties and cannot use automated programs or scripts to collect information from their site. Furthermore, complete and accurate personal details must be submitted in order to process an application – failure to do so could result in rejection or delay.

Organo Gold further stipulates that its trademarks or logos cannot be used without written approval from them, in advertising or promotional materials, nor framed around any of their website content or proprietary information, such as images, texts, page layout or forms; nor any meta tags or hidden text using their name or trademarks; additionally this website is provided under “limited license”, so any unauthorized use terminates your permission granted by Organo Gold.

If a dispute between you and another Distributor or the Company arises, both parties have agreed to utilize nonbinding mediation in accordance with the Policies and Procedures to settle it. Furthermore, they each indemnify and hold each other harmless for any claims, losses, damages or costs (including attorneys’ fees) related to such dispute.

Additionally, this policy stipulates that the Company may disclose your personal information to third parties if necessary to protect its rights or property or if you violated these Terms and Conditions of Use. However, any sharing will only occur as per its privacy policies.

Poudre School District has requested that a judge dismiss Chuck DeWayne’s lawsuit alleging unfair dismissal as former human resources director, alleging his firing without cause in February was an at-will termination agreement violation. DeWayne claims his firing occurred without due cause but according to Poudre School District was more of an Organo Gold consultant attending meetings to encourage teachers selling products of that company, rather than being fired with no cause from February 2018.
