Zija

Company Background

Zija International is a manufacturer and distributor of Moringa and Moringa Oleifera drinks.

The growth of nutrient-rich tropical fruit drinks has punctuated the network marketing industry over the last decade. Zija International's flagship product is Zija, one such drink, consisting primarily of Moringa Oleifera extracts, and sold mainly as a network marketing component.

Zija International launched their product Zija in November of 2006. Consumers may only obtain Zija through distributors. The majority of Zija distributors reside in the Unites States. However, Zija International had recently opened-up international markets such as Mexico, The Bahamas, Canada, and the European Union. Following the rapid growth that the company has been experiencing, Zija International will soon open markets in Japan and other neighbouring Asian countries.

Zija International is a Utah based multi-level marketing company who is first to market Moringa Oleifera. Zija's corporate management team have shown to be one of a kind in the networking industry. Zija's revolutionary product is also first to market which makes it an exceptionally proftible company.

Zija was developed by world-renowned nutritional food formulator Russell Bianchi, the proprietary Zija beverage is 100% natural, Halal and Kosher certified, and contains over 90 verifiable nutrients in each serving. Russell Bianchi has been contracted with major fortune 500 companies such as Nestle, Odwalla, Balance Bar, Luna Bar, Cliff Bar, & Gerber baby products prior to his involvement with Zija International.
