Products & Health
10 Questions
🌿
Are Norland products safe? Are they approved?
Yes. Norland products are manufactured in GMP-certified facilities in Beijing, China and comply with international pharmaceutical production standards. The Wu-Qing Detox Pack, GI Vital and Micro-Molecule Peptide are FDA-referenced products. All products are manufactured under strict quality control. They are health supplements — not medicines — and are designed to complement, not replace, professional medical treatment.
⏱️
How long before I see results from Norland products?
It depends on the product and condition being addressed. The Wu-Qing Detox Pack typically produces noticeable results within 16 hours. GI Vital for ulcer healing generally shows improvement within 4–6 weeks of consistent use, with full healing reported in 3 months. Diabetes protocols typically show measurable blood sugar improvement within 90 days. Results vary per individual based on severity, consistency of use and overall health. WhatsApp Pastor Ernest for realistic guidance specific to your condition.
💊
Can I take Norland products alongside my existing prescription medication?
In most cases, yes — Norland products are natural health supplements and can be taken alongside conventional medication. However, you should always consult your doctor before combining supplements with prescription medication, especially for conditions like diabetes or hypertension where medication dosages may need to be adjusted as your health improves. GI Vital is particularly well known for being safe to take alongside most medications.
🧬
What is GI Vital and why is it in almost every protocol?
GI Vital Softgel is Norland's flagship product — often called a "National Treasure." It contains Sesame Oil, Cera Flava and Scutellariae Radix and works by activating K-19 keratin stem cells, which repair and regenerate the gastrointestinal mucosa. Because a healthy gut is the foundation of every body system — immune function, nutrient absorption, hormonal balance and more — GI Vital is included in virtually every Norland protocol. It heals ulcers without scarring, protects the GI lining and creates the healthy cellular environment needed for all other products to work effectively.
🔬
What is the Micro-Molecule Peptide and who is it suitable for?
The Micro-Molecule Peptide is a powdered supplement combining Soy Peptide, Ocean Fish Oligopeptide and Wheat Oligopeptide in a single sachet. Its molecular weight is below 1,000 Daltons — small enough to bypass digestion and absorb directly into cells within 30 seconds, converting to usable energy in 3 minutes. It is suitable for all ages — children, adults and the elderly. It is particularly effective for people recovering from illness or surgery, those with chronic fatigue, and anyone needing rapid immune or energy support.
🩸
Which products are best for diabetes and blood sugar?
The recommended protocol is the Diabetes Management Combo (C4) which includes: 3×GI Vital, 2×Hypoglycemic Capsules, 1×Hypoglycemic Herbal, 1×Propolis-Lecithin and 3×Kuding Tea — with the Alkaline Cup as an optional add-on. GI Vital heals the gut and improves insulin sensitivity, Hypoglycemic Capsules regulate blood glucose, Kuding Tea lowers blood viscosity and Propolis protects the kidneys and liver from diabetic damage. WhatsApp Pastor Ernest for a personalised protocol recommendation.
🫁
What is the Detox Pack and is it safe?
The Wu-Qing Detox Pack is a comprehensive 120-day herbal cleanse targeting all 5 vital organs — liver, kidneys, heart, lungs and spleen — simultaneously. It uses traditional Chinese herbal formulations to dislodge and eliminate accumulated toxins from organ tissue. It is safe when used as directed. Results are typically felt within 16 hours of first use and include improved energy, reduced bloating and improved complexion. It is particularly recommended for people with chronic illness, high toxin loads or those who want to do a complete biological reset. Always use under the guidance of Pastor Ernest.
🎯
What are the combo protocols and how do I choose the right one?
There are 9 official combo protocols, each pre-packaged for a specific health condition:
  • C1 — Cancer Support (R9,450)
  • C2 — Ulcer Healing (R6,900)
  • C3 — Eye Health (R8,050)
  • C4 — Diabetes Management (R6,700)
  • C5 — Kidney Restoration (R9,050)
  • C6 — Full Body Detox (R19,650)
  • C7 — Prostate Health (R9,450)
  • C8 — Arthritis Protocol (R8,950)
  • C9 — Stroke Recovery (R15,250)
If your condition doesn't match any of the 9 combos, WhatsApp Pastor Ernest — he will build a custom protocol from the individual products.
⚗️
Are there any side effects from Norland products?
Norland products are natural health supplements with no reported severe side effects when used as directed. Some people experience mild detox reactions during the first 1–2 weeks of the Detox Pack — such as loose stools, increased urination or mild fatigue — as the body eliminates accumulated toxins. These are normal healing responses, not adverse reactions, and subside within days. If you experience any unusual symptoms, stop use and WhatsApp Pastor Ernest immediately for guidance.
🤰
Are Norland products safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
Always consult your doctor or gynaecologist before using any health supplement during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. The Micro-Molecule Peptide is generally considered safe as a nutritional supplement, but specific products — particularly the Detox Pack — are not recommended during pregnancy. WhatsApp Pastor Ernest for product-specific guidance relevant to your situation.

🛡️

Only order through the official channels: norlandshopzone.co.za (online shop) or directly via WhatsApp through Pastor Ernest (+27 73 619 6670).

📦

Yes — but bulk orders for resale require you to be a registered Norland member. Once registered, you purchase at member price and sell at your own retail price (the recommended benchmark is a 20% markup). WhatsApp Pastor Ernest to discuss your reselling plans and he will advise on the best entry level and product mix for your market. See our Buy to Sell page for full details.

🗺️

First, check your tracking number on the courier's website. If your parcel is delayed beyond the expected delivery window, WhatsApp Pastor Ernest at +27 73 619 6670 with your order details and tracking number. He will follow up with the courier on your behalf. Do not panic — delays are rare but do occasionally happen, especially over public holidays.

Membership & Registration
8 Questions
📋
Do I need to be a member to buy Norland products?
No. Anyone can purchase Norland products at retail price through norlandshopzone.co.za or via WhatsApp without being a member. Membership is only required if you want to buy at the lower member price and/or earn retail/resale income from selling products to others.
💎
What are the membership entry levels and what do I get?
There are 5 paid entry levels:
  • Senior Member — R4,000 · 128PV · includes R150 starter pack
  • Bronze — R7,800 · 256PV · includes R150 starter pack
  • Silver ⭐ (Recommended) — R15,400 · 560PV · includes R150 starter pack
  • Gold — R30,800 · 1,120PV · includes R150 starter pack
  • Diamond — R58,800 · 2,240PV · includes R150 starter pack
Your joining amount is fully converted into Norland products — this is your opening stock. You receive health products to the value of your chosen level.
🔢
What is PV and how does it work?
PV stands for Product Value — Norland's points system. As at 2026, 1PV = R18 (Norland's internal rate, pegged for consistency). PV is earned on product purchases and team sales. It accumulates over time and determines your rank advancement and bonus eligibility. Your entry level determines your starting PV. The more your team buys and sells, the faster your PV grows.
⬆️
Can I upgrade my membership level after joining?
Yes. You can upgrade from Senior Member up to Gold level, or from Bronze up to Diamond level, within 60 days of your registration date. After 60 days, upgrades are only available during special upgrade promotions announced by Norland SA. These promotions come fairly regularly but are at the company's discretion. WhatsApp Pastor Ernest to check current upgrade availability.
🆔
What is a QC code and when do I receive it?
Your QC code is your unique Norland member ID — it starts with "QC" followed by 7 digits (e.g. QC1234567). You receive it via SMS from Norland after your registration is processed. It is your Back Office login username at zmd.nor-land.com (PC) or m.nor-land.com (mobile). All your sales, PV, bonuses and team activity are recorded against your QC code.
🏛️
Where do I attend a Norland presentation before joining?
Norland SA hosts a weekly business presentation at the Rivonia office, No. 1 8th Avenue, Edenburg, Sandton, Johannesburg — every Thursday from 11am to 1pm. No registration required. Free to attend. The presentation covers the products, health protocols and the full business opportunity. WhatsApp Pastor Ernest to confirm the next session or arrange a private presentation if you can't attend in person.
🔐
How do I access my Norland Back Office?
Login with your QC code as your username. Your password is set during registration. The Back Office shows your PV, bonuses, team structure, product orders and rank. If you have login issues, WhatsApp Pastor Ernest for assistance.
🏅
What is the difference between entry levels and performance ranks?
Entry levels (Senior Member, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Diamond) are paid — you choose and pay for them when you join. Performance ranks (Silver Medal, Gold Medal, Silver Diamond, Gold Diamond, Blue Diamond, Red Diamond, Yellow Diamond, Crown Diamond) are earned — they are achieved through the cumulative PV of your weaker binary leg. Performance ranks cannot be purchased; they are unlocked through team growth and sales performance, and they unlock the highest bonus tiers and incentive rewards.
🚀
The Business Opportunity
8 Questions
💼
Is Norland a legitimate business opportunity or a pyramid scheme?
Norland is a legitimate, registered Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) company founded in 2008, operating in 43+ countries with over 2 million global members. It is product-based — all income is derived from actual product sales, not from recruitment fees alone. The compensation plan is fully disclosed and publicly available. It is not a pyramid scheme. Norland operates similarly to Herbalife, Amway and other globally recognised direct selling companies. A full copy of the SA Compensation Plan is available for download on our Compensation Plan page.
💰
How do I earn money with Norland?
There are 8 ways to earn with Norland:
  • Retail Profit — 20% markup on every product you sell
  • Repurchase Bonus — 20% on every repeat order from your customers
  • Fast Start Bonus — cash bonus when you sponsor new members
  • Group Performance Bonus — 10–13% weekly on your binary team's sales
  • Maintenance Bonus — up to 12 generations deep on your sponsor tree
  • Leadership Bonus — from Silver rank — 8% to 45%
  • Free Product Vouchers — redeemable against product purchases
  • Honorary & Benefit Bonus — car funds, house funds, international trips
🏆
What incentives can I earn as a top performer?
Performance rank incentives (valid from January 2023):
  • Silver Medal — within 5 months: International Trip
  • Silver Diamond — within 1 year: R216,000 Car Fund
  • Gold Diamond — within 18 months: R180,000 Car Fund
  • Blue Diamond — within 36 months: up to R630,000
  • Red Diamond — within 48 months: up to R1.125M
  • Yellow Diamond — within 60 months: up to R1.575M
  • Crown Diamond — within 72 months: up to R3.15M House Fund
🎯
Do I have to recruit people to earn?
No — not for the Buy to Sell path. If you only want to earn from selling products to customers, you can earn the 20% retail markup and 20% repurchase bonus without recruiting anyone. However, Group Performance Bonus, Leadership Bonus, car funds and house funds require building a team. See our Buy to Sell and Join the Business pages for a clear comparison.
📅
Are there monthly sales targets I must meet?
No compulsory monthly targets. Norland uses a cumulative PV accumulation system — you accumulate points at your own pace. There is no SSD (Same Status Distributorship), no break-away rule and no cut-off. This means your team's PV always contributes to your advancement, regardless of when or how fast it accumulates.
🔢
What is the binary system and how does it work?
Norland uses a binary compensation structure — meaning you build two legs (left and right) under you. Every new member you sponsor goes into either your left or right leg. The Group Performance Bonus is calculated on the weaker leg's weekly sales — ensuring balanced, sustainable growth. There is no break-away and no cut-off — your weaker leg's PV always counts. This is one of the most distributor-friendly compensation structures in the direct selling industry.
📊
Where can I see the full compensation plan?
The full Norland SA Compensation Plan is available on our Compensation Plan page with downloadable PDFs and a video walkthrough. You can also download directly:
🌟
Which entry level should I start at?
Pastor Ernest's recommendation is Silver level (R15,400) for serious business builders. It gives you a meaningful product range (560PV worth of stock), the highest weekly earning ceiling for the price point (up to R108,000/week at full potential), and sufficient products to demonstrate results to potential customers. For those with a tighter budget, Senior Member (R4,000) is a solid starting point. WhatsApp Pastor Ernest — he will assess your goals, budget and market and recommend the best entry point for your situation.
