Over 3,500 people converged in Lagos today for the 2025 QNET Product Expo, where the global e-commerce direct-selling company showcased an impressive range of products focused on wellness, lifestyle, and education.
The Regional Strategy and Marketing Manager, Mr. Berni Gaksch, who took Journalists and other Nigerians round the products, noted that the products introduced are set to significantly enhance the quality of life, business acumen, and environmental consciousness of Nigerians.
Mr. Gaksch highlighted the company’s commitment to both sustainability and providing high-quality, specialized solutions, emphasizing the products’ deep relevance to the Nigerian market.
Clean Water & Optimal Health: The HomePure Edge
Perhaps one of the most vital offerings for the Nigerian consumer is the HomePure Nova, a nine-stage water filtration system. Mr. Gaksch stressed that in a region where water safety is a constant concern, boiling water is not sufficient to remove all harmful contaminants.
“Boiling water is not the best thing. All the natural minerals you need such calcium, magnesium also die, so you’re drinking dead water. Yes, it hydrates you, but it has no benefits,” he explained.
The HomePure Nova, which simply attaches to a tap, features an invention by Dr. Akinori Yamashita that replicates the body’s natural living body water for superior hydration and detoxification. It also addresses the issue of chlorine, which is commonly added to municipal water but is harsh on the skin. A dedicated shower head, the HomePure Nova, is also available to specifically remove chlorine from shower water.
Boosting Immunity Naturally: H-Plus
In the realm of nutritional supplements, QNET presented H-Plus, a product designed to naturally boost the immune system. Mr. Gaksch revealed the supplement is the result of a $20 million research effort.
“We created something that is not giving you glutathione; it’s producing glutathione naturally in your body,” he stated.
Glutathione is a crucial nutrient that protects the body’s cells. H-Plus uses three precursors to prompt the body to create this protection layer itself. Furthermore, it contains a special form of turmeric called Thermosin, which easily dissolves to help with inflammation, and the addition of Vitamin D3 to enhance immune-boosting properties—a vital addition in the post-pandemic era.
Luxury, Heritage, and Sustainability on the Wrist
QNET’s luxury collection, including Bernard H. Mayer (BHM) Watches and Jewellery, was a key highlight. The manager noted the heritage of the Swiss-made timepieces:
“This year we are 154 years old, which is our watch factory in Switzerland… It’s a small boutique. When you go there, actually, you can also build your own watch, and it’s very beautiful to design your watch the way you want it.”
The collaboration with Manchester City Football Club (MCFC) also features the MCFC watch and the Etihad Stadium collection, which is made from 100% recyclable materials. The sustainability promise extends beyond the product: “Every watch that is sold, we plant one tree on this earth,” Mr. Gaksch confirmed, underscoring QNET’s global effort to replenish the planet’s greenery.
Curated Travel Experiences: QVI
For the growing travel aspirations of Nigerians, the QVI Vacation Club offers a gateway to global resorts. While the club does not handle flights or visas, it provides access to over 1 million contracted hotels globally and QNET’s own home resorts in locations like Thailand, Turkey, and Sri Lanka.
“The pricing, what you will see is usually a lot cheaper than Booking.com or what you will find,” he shared, presenting an affordable way for Nigerians to experience international travel.
Building the Entrepreneurial Mindset: Q-Learn
Recognizing the rising trend of entrepreneurship, especially among Generation Z, QNET introduced Q-Learn, an online platform focused on business education.
“The new generation… they don’t want to work nine to five anymore. They want to start their own businesses,” Mr. Gaksch observed.
Q-Learn offers international certifications (UK, US, EU) in areas like business management and presentation skills. These courses serve as valuable extracurricular activities to give young entrepreneurs a strong business foundation and make their resumes stand out in a competitive job market
A Shift to Natural Daily Care
Even daily essentials are part of the wellness drive. QNET’s toothpaste has replaced potentially harmful fluoride with rock salt and includes Astaxanthin to aid in blood flow, which helps combat bleeding gums and inflammation. The company’s commitment to avoiding chemicals was a theme across the exposition.
With 3,500 people attending the expo, QNET’s showcase signals a clear focus on empowering Nigerians with products that enhance their health, enrich their lifestyle, and foster a spirit of sustainability and entrepreneurship.
