Pyur Global Review: Nutrition & aortic pulse wave velocity tracking
Pyur Global launched in late 2016 and operate in the nutritional supplement MLM niche. The company lists two corporate offices on the Pyur Global website, one in the US state of Virginia and the other in Manila, Philippines.
Heading up Pyur Global is CEO and founder Bob Bremner.
Bob Bremner (right) first popped up on BehindMLM’s radar as CEO and founder The Legends Network in 2014.
The Legends Network operated as a matrix-based pyramid scheme with no retail activity.
In 2015 Bremner resurfaced with vStream TV, selling $349 piracy stream boxes. Once again the compensation plan was heavily favored toward affiliate recruitment.
The vStream TV website is still up today, however Alexa rankings reveal a sharp crash in traffic from November, 2016.

The Pyur Global Compensation Plan
The Pyur Global compensation plan pays affilaites to retail Pyur Global’s products to retail customers. Residual commissions are paid out via a binary compensation structure, with a matching bonus also available.
MLM Commission Qualification
Pyur Global affiliates qualify for MLM commissions by maintaining “active status”.
Active status qualification requires all affiliates to generate at least 50 PV every 35 days.
Retail Commissions
Pyur Global pay a retail commission on product sales to retail customers (non-affiliates).
Retail commissions are calculated as the difference between the retail and wholesale pricing of products ordered.
A bonus 25% is paid out each week on sales volume generated by retail customer orders for that week.
Weekly Bonuses
Pyur Global pay a 25% bonus on sales volume generated by retail customer and newly recruited affiliate orders.
- 25% of sales volume generated by all retail customers orders
- 25% of sales volume generated by product orders newly recruited affiliates place within 30 days of signing up.
Residual Commissions
Pyur Global pay residual commissions via a binary compensation structure.
A binary compensation structure places an affiliate at the top of a binary team, split into two sides (left and right):
The first level of the binary team houses two positions. The second level of the binary team is generated by splitting these first two positions into another two positions each (4 positions).
Subsequent levels of the binary team are generated as required, with each new level housing twice as many positions as the previous level.
Positions in the binary team are filled via direct and indirect recruitment of affiliates. Note that there is no limit to how deep a binary team can grow.
Pyur Global track GV generated on both sides of the binary. Each time 200 GV and 400 GV is generated on both sides (which side is which doesn’t matter), a commission is paid out.
- affiliates who generate 50 GV a month earn $15
- affiliates who generate 100 GV a month earn $20
Matching Bonus
Pyur Global affiliates earn a matching bonus on residual commissions earned by downline affiliates, paid out down multiple levels of recruitment (unilevel).
How much of a percentage and how many levels the Matching Bonus is earned on, is determined by a Pyur Global affiliate’s rank.
- Bronze Executive – 10% match on level 1 (personally recruited affiliates)
- Silver Executive – 15% match on level 1
- Gold Executive – 20% match on level 1
- Platinum Executive – 20% match on level 1 and 15% on level 2
- Pearl Director – 20% match on level 1, 15% on level 2 and 10% on level 3
The Pyur Global compensation plan states ‘there are even deeper matching bonuses as you progress through the ranks’, but doesn’t go into further details.
Note that Pyur Global do not disclose rank qualification requirements.
Leadership Bonus Pool
The Leadership Bonus Pool is made up of “a portion” of Pyur Global’s company-wide sales volume.
Qualified affiliates receive a share in the Leadership Bonus Pool quarterly.
Other than stating affiliates must “grow your team through the ranks to work your way toward a share in the pool”, Pyur Global do not disclose Leadership Bonus Pool qualification criteria.

Conclusion
Pyur Global’s product line didn’t strike me as anything out of the ordinary. I thought maybe there was something to the Muscadine grapes angle but discovered supplements are readily available for as little at $9.95 a bottle.
Definitely run a comparison with what’s available locally price-wise before committing to purchasing Pyur Global’s supplements.
The iHeart Device meanwhile is manufactured by a third-party and available directly for $195 (or $159 on Amazon).
Of note is a disclaimer provided on the Go iHeart website:
The iHeart System is NOT a medical device. It is to be used for personal health & wellness education only.
It is not intended to be used for any medical diagnosis or management of medical conditions.
Sort of guts the device reliably doing anything other than measuring your pulse, which you can do with two fingers for free.
The wearable device market might have cut into the iHeart Device’s target demographic over the past few years too. There’s all manner of wearable technology that can track all sorts of things available.
Pyur Global’s compensation plan is a bit more encouraging, with a great 25% bonus serving to drive retail sales.
I think it’s great to offer a bonus on top of the standard retail commission, although perhaps a stepped qualifier upon hitting certain retail volume targets might be an even better way to channel retail focus.
Eg. hit xx PV in retail volume and receive a 10% bonus. Hit xy PV in retail volume and receive a 15% bonus etc.
Nonetheless a 25% bonus on retail volume is still a great retail incentive. Unfortunately though there doesn’t seem to be any retail qualifiers within the Pyur Global compensation plan.
MLM commission qualification is a flat PV requirement, which hopefully not so coincidentally aligns with available (and optional) affiliate autoship options.
This means chain-recruitment via affiliate autoship is possible, despite the retail incentives on offer.
The good news is verifying whether your potential upline is only focused on autoship recruitment is easy. If a Pyur Global affiliate is self-qualifying for commissions via autoship and isn’t putting through equivalent retail volume each month, there’s a good chance that’s what their downline are doing too.
This means that, company-wide, Pyur Global would be operating as a product-based pyramid scheme.
I also don’t mind cutting Pyur Global a bit of slack as an emerging company, but six or seven months in without a detailed compensation plan is pretty lax.
A summary is fine to browse through but full nuts and bolts documentation has to be made available for the more serious network marketer.
Retail pricing could also be more readily available (I had to go through a Pyur Global shop link with an affiliate code to get it).
Long and the short of it though, if your potential upline’s Pyur Global business is a healthy mix of retail and downline volume then you’ve got nothing to worry about. But do keep in mind concerns about the Pyur Global product range expressed earlier.
Good luck!
Update 29th April 2019 – Pyur Global has merged with Noble 8 Revolution and rebooted as Pyur Life.
Oh, for Pete’s sake. My Samsung Galaxy S6 can do the oximeter and pulse thingie by putting my finger on the sensor. No extra cost.

PC Mag calls the iHeart disappointingly expensive and gimmicky:
pcmag.com/review/350598/iheart-internal-age
You do not understand the iheart device. It just does not measure pulse and oxygen levels. The main benefit is that it measures Pulse Wave Velocity.
There is no app or oximeter on the market that measures Pulse Wave. The iheart company was just on the TV show Dragons Den in Canada which is the Canadian Version of Shark Tank.
They were offered $500,000 for 20% interest in the iheart. Here is a good video explaining pulse wave which is a 3rd party video not affiliated with PYUR Global: youtube.com/watch?v=0JRkoEcf5bo
Pulse Wave has nothing to do with measuring pulse. PYUR Global has the mlm rights to the iheart device. Also google pulse wave velocity.
Great.
Now perhaps you can help me understand why I would want to pay over $30 more for it to buy from an MLM rep.
PYUR Global sells them for the same price as the iheart company. If you can buy one for less on ebay you should do that. PYUR only sells it as an option to get.
Many people get tested by upline leaders and do not need a device. The PYUR products have been shown to lower the internal age number after a couple weeks on the product.
“SHOWN” ????
Shown by whom ???
Duplicable clinically supervised double blind test results, please, or it didn’t happen.
What the is an “internal age number?”
LOL.
Personally, I’m leaning towards the opinion of the PC Mag article mentioned in the first comment:
Seems more like marketing schtick than anything real.
While the other stats it provides seem legit, the whole internal age number is a bit hokey.
I think Vital Sines was silly to let an MLM market their product, especially a guy like Bremner who already has one FDA action against him from his Nutronix days.
Add in the TLN pyramid scheme and the questionable vStream deal and if they really felt the need to go the MLM route, there were probably better choices.
That is not exactly true. You do not need double blind studies.
My husband is 58 years old and was testing at 65 years internally on the iheart device. He got on the PYUR products and his number came down to 34 in about 4 weeks.
He was still very skeptical so he stopped the products for 2 weeks and his number went back up to 56. He got back on the products and it went back down and is now 31.
There are studies on reducing stress and good diet to lower the number. You can also lower the number by meditation.
The internal age number is a number created by the result of the reflective speed of the pulse wave. The faster the pulse wave the stiffer the arteries the slower the pulse wave the more flexible the arteries.
The Pyur products just make the arteries more flexible. The age number is created from the data and research of the pulse wave speed.
The iheart was created by a real medical doctor Dr. Jess Goodman. It really is a very accurate device that has been compared to very expensive medical equipment and gets the same results.
Oh please.
You’re simply regurgitating absolute nonsense fed to you by your upline and making ridiculous unverifiable claims.
I am actually not a PYUR distributor. I am just a customer. The products seem to work for my husband and me.
I first heard about iheart a year ago before PYUR was even a company. If you want to see more info (Ozedit: attempt to take discussion offsite removed)
PYUR actually started selling the device for a lower price than the iheart website. Iheart used to sell the device for $299.
You need to not be so bitter. There are actually good products made in the world that do work.
“Upline leaders” is interesting language. What’s that?
lmao!
You may notice some skepticism expressed at that statement Dianne.
It’s quite odd that someone who claims to be “just a customer” would be on an MLM review site defending the MLM and/or the products.
As Char noted, your wording is a bit uncustomer like also. 😉
But whatever, if you and your hubby are just satisfied customers not involved in the opportunity side of things, good for you.
So if your husband has an internal age of 34, what’s that mean? Is he going to live well into his 100s?
That’s why I feel it’s more of a marketing gimmick than anything else. Not necessarily a big deal, companies hype their products to get customers.
Oz’s review on PYUR is actually pretty benign.
The problem with the vast majority of MLMs is that most people aren’t “just a customer” and their product loyalty is tied to their hopes and dreams of earning income as a distributor.
When their income doesn’t surpass the expense of the products, they move on from both the opportunity and the products.
The products may be good, but if the price point is too high to get a significant amount of retail customers, it’s just your run of the mill MLM pyramid scheme operating in the grey areas of the law.
Frankly, you’re just razzle-dazzled by techno-jargon.
You can’t measure pulse wave velocity from a single measuring point. To measure velocity you need TWO separate measuring points and calculate the time difference between the two. Simple logic should tell you that iHeart claim to measure pulse wave velocity is just bunkem. You’re just parroting the bunkem without understanding them.
iHeart’s blog actually explained it that they don’t actually measure pulse wave velocity. They ESTIMATE it based on the height you put into the app, which gives them a guesstimate of the distance from your heart to your finger tip, which let them take a guess based on your pulse rate.
It’s a guess on top of a guesstimate. It’s NOT a measurement. Phooey.
I am not sure why they would say that in the blog. I have sent an email question to iheart myself and asked them because I have tested it with any height and weight and get the same answer.
They told me the height and weight are only there to give an estimate of a persons BMI. They told me the height and weight do not matter when measuring Pulse Wave.
They have also tested the iheart against very expensive pulse wave equipment and get the same results. So the iheart does work.
I can see how you can question the other pyur products lowering the iheart number but they seem to work also.
