Jenny's Barmy Booster Bravado

Today, Jenny posted this:

I've included her member count to demonstrate that her claim, as if you didn't know, runs completely against reality. The fact is that her Facebook page number is still going down; at the start of the year it was at 537. This means that Jenny's losing on average a person a day so far this year. But sure, don't let that change your sales pitch.

You've no doubt read in my past posts a number of times where I have mentioned the booster, JP's wonder product that Jenny treats like manna from heaven. But what, exactly, is the booster?

Allow me to finally explain. JP's booster is nothing more than glucomannan and caffeine as you can see in their own product description. Glucomannan is used as a dietary supplement to help reduce hunger cravings, thus companies like JP use them in their weight loss products. The cost of this product is anyone's guess - Jenny has never mentioned how much she charges for them - but I have no doubt that it will be excessive for what the product is really worth.

The saddest thing here is that if Jenny ever bothered researching nutrition then she would realise that she can get this booster product for much cheaper. It is called - guess what - fruit. You know, the very stuff that JP markets its products as containing.

The difference between fruit and JP products is that fruit contains fibre which glucomannan acts as a substitute for. That is why it isn't rocket science to pick an apple over a chocolate bar when you're hungry; the fibre adds to the snack and makes you less hungry during the day. That's why I, personally, always have grapes in the fridge if I ever have an urge to snack. JP inexplicably doesn't think fibre is helpful so extract it from their capsules to keep a handful of vitamins. I have just checked their shakes, however, that do contain fibre.

So in summary, once again, JP are marketing products that are simply unnecessary if someone is committed to weight loss. I am not denying that the booster could help someone with weight loss if it was marketed at a more appropriate price. Unfortunately, as is typical of JP, the wellbeing of people comes secondary to profit and distributors like Jenny are encouraged to sell these boosters for as high a price as they can get away with. Meanwhile, fruit is conveniently never mentioned which does the exact same job for cheaper (and more tastier to boot).

So will Jenny get orders? I doubt it. I believe she sold a few last time the boosters were stocked but otherwise as shown earlier in this post people are continuing to leave the page and her posts remain unanswered.

On a final note, remember her £100 raffle prize for December orders? A winner was never declared. I don't think it's because this was a scam, I think it was because she did not receive a single order in the whole month. But no worries, Jenny will get super marketing tips when she makes that Birmingham "business trip" in April.
