Univera, Inc., a leading natural supplement and skin care company since 1999, announces the opening of its affiliated company in Malaysia, Univera Malaysia Sdn. Bhd.

“We are proud and excited to bring Univera to Malaysia,” said Mr. Chi Song Wong, Univera Malaysia’s General Manager. “As a relationship marketing company, Univera provides a lucrative financial opportunity that rewards people for sharing the gift of health with others, creating a successful business model of people helping people to enhance their vitality and prosperity.”

Univera, Inc. was originally founded by Mr. Yunho Lee, a successful Korean businessman whose health condition was dramatically changed when he experienced the life-enhancing power of Aloe Vera. As a result he set out to study and discover the health benefits of Aloe Vera and all medicinal plants, establishing his company’s powerful vision: to bring the best of nature to humankind.

Today, his son. Mr. Bill Lee, carries on that mission, continuing to invest in and grow a vast global network dedicated to discovering, developing and delivering plant-based bioactive compounds and products for optimal health.

“Univera brings a unique strength and leadership position to the marketplace,” said Mr. Tom Zimmer, President and CEO of Univera, Inc. “Our farm-to-family integration, scientific expertise with the ability to unleash the power of medicinal plants, and attention to quality control give us a definite competitive edge.”

As part of the ECONET family of companies, Univera is fully integrated from farm to family – growing, discovering, developing and manufacturing its products with an intense commitment to naturally derived compounds, advanced biological research and quality control.

Certified organic farming operations across the globe supply a significant portion of the world’s Aloe Vera, along with other specialized medicinal plants.

Over 50 full-time scientists, utilizing full-scale proteomics, biological, biochemical and proton NMR capabilities, have access to a medicinal plant treasury holding more than 17,000 plants and 300,000 plant fractions. This discovery work has resulted in 177 patents or patents pending in 27 areas of product research – the output of multiple clinical trials on the efficacy of plant-based compounds conducted in partnership with Universities around the globe.

Attention to quality continues in a 250,000sq ft. state-of-the-art product development and manufacturing facility, which boasts ISO 9001 and GMP certification along with strict management of Six Sigma and multiple international quality control processes..

“Univera Associates can be confident that they are delivering the very best quality and high performance health products to their customers,” said Mr. Zimmer. “in fact, we are so confident in the quality of our products that we offer a “90 Day 100% Satisfaction Guarantee or your money back.”

Univera Associates in Malaysia will provide a premium selection of natural supplement and skin care products – products which deliver the health enhancing benefits of bioactive plant compounds, rich phytonutrients and uniquely patented ingredients.

Most importantly, Univera products are powered by aloe vera, a potent plant . Aloe Vera contains more than 200 biologically active amino acids, vitamins, antioxidants, mineral, enzymes and sterols. It is a plant whose traditional health promoting benefits are supported by nearly 700 published scientific and clinical studies.

“Our roots in Aloe Vera go deep,” said ECONET and Univera Chairman Mr. Bill Lee. “We know Aloe better than anyone else – from seed right through to finished product. Nutritional products powered by Aloe provide a uniqueness and competitive edge for our customers.”

Univera’s Aloe-based products are second to none. The unique patented technology isolates the most effective bioactive health-enhancing compounds (polysaccharides)
within the plant – those that fall within the range we like to call the aloe “Sweet Spot.” Those optimal polysaccharides are then standardized in every batch. That means more of the right kind of polysaccharide in every product. That’s the Univera difference.

“I am honored to carry on the legacy of my Father and to have this special opportunity to bring the best of nature to people in Malaysia,” said Mr. Bill Lee. “We proudly share with you the gifts of vitality, prosperity and purpose.”
