Kyani reported to Swedish police for “chain letter game”
When they started is unclear, but the Swedish Gaming Board recently concluded an investigation into Kyani.
For those unfamiliar with the company, Kyani launched in 2005 and claim to combine ‘the world’s most powerful Superfoods to create the most compelling nutritional supplements in the industry‘.
The word “Kyäni” itself means “strong medicine” in Tlingit, spoken by the Tlingit people of Southeast Alaska and Western Canada.
As per a press-release issued on the 29th of October, 2015, the Swedish Gaming Board announced they have
reported Kyäni Europe AB to the police and their concept Kyäni for the operation of a chain letter game.
The Gaming Board’ assessment of Kyani very much sounds like they might be operating a product-based pyramid scheme:
It is the Gaming Board’s overall assessment that the main purpose of Kyäni business is recruiting to generate growing revenues to individuals placed at higher levels within the organization and that the profit potential is related to how many members gradually enters into the concept and not primarily on the sale of products or goods.
To what extent (if at all) Kyani participated in the Gaming Board’s investigation is unclear.
Here at BehindMLM I have not formally reviewed Kyani, so can’t comment further on their business model.
Pending the outcome of a Swedish police investigation, I guess we’ll see if the Gaming Board’s allegations hold any merit.
Stay tuned…

I enrolled in this company and got out just as quick.
They have COMPANY Youtube videos stating they were different because they trained to not sell the product just personally consume it.
I also saw this stated at the front of the room by one of the top reps many times. It is a matter of time till they get looked in to.
Fingers, where can I see this video?
B.F. you can find lots of videos at youtube or vimeo when you search “kyani”.
They have official videos in 26 languages and in every language they say the customer base is very important.
I am also a customer and i am very very happy with that products and recommend it to my friends without getting anything! Just because I love it.
I have been a consumer for 3 1/2 years and no longer am on Rx meds and rarely any OTC meds.
What Kyani does is provide your body with the best nutrition and antioxidants. No one ever told me I would be cured. In fact their typical response to questions about it helping people is IDK bc each person is different.
All I can say is that I’m so glad I take it. I have no plans to stop either.
Cool. Still a pyramid scheme but.
The correct answer is there are no peer-reviewed studies confirming Kyani’s products have any medical benefits whatsoever. Anecdotal stories don’t change this.
