Nikken Scam Review – Is There Really Money In Magnets?
Even though Nikken is a 35 year old network marketing company that does business in over 37 countries, some people often wonder when they’re looking at the company for the first time, “Is Nikken a scam?”. It’s smart to do your research, so here is some brief information I found that I hope will help you in your journey.
In 1975, Isamu Masuda had vision to start a company that are based on the five pillars of optimal health, which are a healthy body, mind, community, finances, and family. Without all five, he thought, one couldn’t reach their true potential of health and happiness. Sounds good, right? With that in mind he invented Nikken’s first product, Magsteps magnetic insoles, which were conceived through the universal desire for everyone to be free from aching feet and drain it has on your entire body. The design was inspired by the pebbled design of the floors in Japanese public baths which were coupled with magnets to truly energize the body. Since the beginning, the majority of Nikkens‘ products have incorporated magnets into their design including massagers, bedding products, footware, and even water filtration products.
Is Nikken Using Pseudo-Science To Scam Customers?
It all depends on who you ask and if you put any stock into traditional, alternative health practices or if you prefer to go the pharmaceutical route. Some people will say that they feel less fatigued and have an overall better sense of well being while others may feel no difference at all with magnet therapy products. This is something that you’ll need to be aware of if you’re considering building a Nikken business since you may encounter some skeptics along the way who may look at the technology as being a scam without actually doing their own research. Considering the company has been around over 30 years and has a great reputation with its products, I wouldn’t be overly concerned about the skeptics.
Nikken’s Leadership Team
It’s important to take the leadership team into consideration when you’re reviewing a company like Nikken for the first time, because the overall direction the company takes is based on their actions and expertise. I’m glad to say that Nikken’s entire leadership team has a long history of success, and most importantly their President, Toshizo (Tom) Watanabe, comes from a network marketing background. That’s good to see since it shows that the company has a commitment to the industry and likely wouldn’t entertain the idea of getting out as some companies have done in the past.
Review of the Nikken Compensation Plan
There are basically 5 different ways that you can earn money as an independent consultant with Nikken:
- Retail profits of the sale of products of up to 30%.
- Wholesale profits from rebates as you progress thorough the ranks.
- Performance & Leadership bonuses up to 6% on each level of your downline.

Some Failed Consultants May Call Nikken a Scam Due To A Lack In Real Marketing Training
Unfortunately, many companies like Nikken provide the same old MLM training where they tell you to make a list of everyone you’ve ever met, have you call them endlessly until they attend a hotel meeting or change their phone number, and show people how to do the same. The same training has been given across the MLM industry for the past 60 years with almost no adjustments to keep up with the modern internet age of marketing. To be clear, you absolutely should talk to people offline about your business just like you would if you bought a franchise or started any other type of business, but you need to incorporate an online network marketing system as well in order to be in contact with enough people to have a chance at success. Does that make sense?
My recommendation is to learn the necessary skills to generate a massive amount of leads for your Nikken business, or any other network marketing company you choose to join, so you don’t fall into the group of people who are claiming there’s some major “Nikken scam” going on when it’s obviously a legitimate business opportunity.

Brian,
I agree with your assessment whole heartedly. Nikken has shown themselves to reputable and they have withstood the test of time.
The real issue for anyone looking at Nikken is training and effort. If they are willing to pursue both, there is no reason they couldn’t successful.
Carl Willis recently shared…How To Recruit MLM Distributors
I just teamed up with Nikken. My husband has severe neuropathy and from listening to the testimonies, I thought we would give it a try. It was just $35.00 to get involved and it is well worth it if it helps him to not suffer from this foot issue! I appreciate the research you have done on this company.
@Judy D Fountain: Hi Judy,
Thank you for your comment! I’m glad to hear that you and your husband have decided to pursue a home business. Nikken is a great company, and I wish you all of the success in the world. Glad to help!

Hi Beverly,
Thank you for your question. When it comes down to timing, it depends on if you’re referring to the timing on Nikken’s side or if you’re concerned about the timing in your life.
From Nikken’s standpoint (and really most good companies), it’s better to get started sooner than later. The reason I say that is typically good network marketing companies will make positive additions to the compensation plan which gives distributors more opportunities to make an even better living, so in order to fully capitalize on the positive changes, you really need to have your downline growing.
That won’t happen unless you get started beforehand.
From a personal standpoint, that would totally depend on your situation. I would say that if it’s a concern about the time commitment or effort required, then it makes sense to take a little time to really think about what you want and how you’re going to make it happen, even it if means making some short term sacrifices.
Ultimately, I don’t think that you’d ever regret building a successful Nikken (or any other high quality company) business.
Hope it helps!

First time I wore magsteps was in my heavy lineman’s combat boots while in the military. Prior to magsteps those boots would kill my feet after a 9 hour day. With the magnets I wore the boots 14 hours the first day with no pain at all. I was sold. Good product. Pricey, but good product.
Hey James,
Very cool, thanks for sharing! I’m actually ex-Navy myself, so I know how uncomfortable those boots can be. Glad to hear the Magsteps made a difference.

Hi Brian,
what is your level in the Nikken chain (Diamond, Royal)? How long have you been in the business? Where is your group located, (TX)??
@Luis Hi Luis, I’m actually not affiliated with Nikken at all. I wrote the review to help people who are researching Nikken to wade through all of noise on the internet by providing some unbiased information.
I’ve been in the industry since I got out of the Navy in 2000 – even though I failed for much of that time due to no real training. My group is all over, but I’m in the Austin, TX area.
Thanks for your comment!
Brian
Okay I’m convinced. Let’s put it to action.
Brian,
Thanks for the input. I am currently persuing different income ideas, but have been in Nikken before. Great company and opportunity. Only problem, only works as well as you do:)
Thanks and great Marketing to all!
