Blugenics operates within the dietary complement MLM area of interest. The corporate gives a company handle in Nevada on its web site.
Heading up Blugenics we now have CEO Paul Redmayne and COO Eric Swaim.
Paul Redmayne is thought to BehindMLM as:
- co-founder of RevStar International, a Ponzi successor to the infamous Banners Dealer Ponzi (2014)
Eric Swaim was Vice-President of Blue Fowl Bids. When the Ponzi collapsed, partly resulting from Swaim elevating issues of inner manipulation, Swaim took management and transformed what was left into PureNRG FX.
PureNRG FX launched in 2013 and was executed by 2014. Swaim re-joined Redmayne in RevStar International as Vice President of Gross sales in 2014.
RevStar International 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 not accessible, which leads into Blugenics launching its MLM alternative in some unspecified time in the future.
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, by 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 makes a speciality of the event and distribution of high-quality marine phytoplankton merchandise.
Our flagship model, Karen for Good Well being, is the biggest 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 aspect of the enterprise, Blugenics Naturals.
Observe that whereas Blugenics Improvements is a Canadian firm, Blugenics Naturals cites itself as “a U.S primarily based firm”. I’m undecided if there’s something extra to that than an LLC shell firm registered in Nevada.
To maintain issues easy this overview will merely discuss with Blugenics Improvements and Blugenics Naturals as “Blugenics”.
Learn on for a full overview of Blugenics’ MLM alternative.

Blugenics Conclusion
Algae complement MLM corporations are nothing new. Through the years BehindMLM has reviewed FGXPress (2013) and ForeverGreen (2013).
We’ve additionally reviewed a bunch of blue-green algae MLM corporations 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 deal with this head on doesn’t precisely hit the mark.
It could take some individuals time for his or her physique to adapt to the style of pure diet.
Finally 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 search for what “nori taste” was. That is from Superb Eating Lovers;
One of many main flavours of nori is salt. It has a comparatively sturdy, sea-like flavour with out tasting fishy.
Yeah fairly positive my physique isn’t going to be ever be craving sea water.
When was the final time you went swimming within the ocean, by accident took in a mouthful and… Y’know what, I feel over time I’d crave this. Extra of this disgusting tasting “pure diet” please!”
Searching for to distinguish itself from different MLM corporations 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 adjustments he has witnessed in others.
His work with main growers and scientists has led to vital 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 and so they 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 appears in a different way beneath a microscope (like a reduction ugly vegetable) doesn’t get the outcomes and might’t provide contract producers with the correct security documentation.
If the product is a little more costly, it’s almost certainly an innovation David Hunter was part of earlier than this chance was conceived.
I don’t know the way true that’s however marine phytoplankton dietary supplements are actually broadly out there for much lower than what Blugenics costs.
This advertising and marketing declare on Blugenics web site additionally caught my eye;
Floor-breaking analysis is being revealed on Gaditana Unique & 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 positive how making most cancers claims about purportedly pending (peer-reviewed?) analysis goes so far as the FTC Act and FDA are involved.
Personally I feel “leaping the gun” is a bit scummy. And I converse from first-hand expertise right here, particularly with regards to pet house owners and most cancers.
Dig deeper into Blugenics’ advertising and marketing and it’s fairly apparent they consider their dietary supplements can deal with all method of illnesses;
A number of analysis is exhibiting that there’s measurable constructive exercise occurring inside a human or pet when that is consumed.
Nothing has been reported damaging. If you happen to simply use logic, perceive it is a pure type of diet. Everybody is aware of nutritious meals is sweet for you.
We consider 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 on that it NEEDS to function the physique.
If the physique receives what it’s lacking, the physique can heal itself. It’s quite simple legislation of trigger and impact.
This sarcastically has by no means been found earlier than, so because of this 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 sort of “hush hush solely behind closed doorways” nonsense, as a result of y’know… pesky laws and all that.
Shifting onto Blugenics’ compensation plan, issues don’t get any higher.
Whereas retail commissions are potential, 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 offered as a “fee qualifier” as a substitute of a a approach to order required merchandise on an everyday schedule.
In your comfort, the corporate provides you a way, 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 powerful indicator of a pyramid scheme.
Once more, retail commissions are potential in Blugenics however the bulk of the compensation plan revolves round signing up, occurring 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 will pay you nothing, or “as much as” the desired quantity.
Why is that this? If I’ve generated quantity throughout my binary staff why is an “as much as” fee price paid out? As beforehand acknowledged, 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
Simple 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 resolve whether or not drinkable sea water is even doable.
