Zija International (www.drinklifein.com) was founded by Ken Brailsford, one of the Grandfathers of direct sales. Zija is a completely vertically integrated company from the farm to the end consumer. The company was born as a result of a one hour documentary that aired on Discovery Channel about the botanical known as Moringa Oleifera, the most nutrient complete, nutrient dense botanical. This single tree provides more for human health than any other tree, plant, fruit, vegetable or herb. Zija was the first to market Moringa based products which are a category creator. The estimated revenue of the company was $125 million (2012).
