The pilot study was performed as the initial phase to the comprehensive and detailed study the RCFFN is conducting on the signature “90 For Life” Youngevity product set and their effects on various health biomarkers, which include those for weight management, inflammation, and blood sugar issues. The Ethics Committee at the University of Manitoba reviewed and approved the Youngevity products and their dosage levels in the rigorous protocols that will be used for the study. It was deemed that the Youngevity products chosen were highly tolerable and well within the range of the confidence levels to initiate the comprehensive study.

Dr. Ramprasath Vanu Ramkumar, Adjunct Professor and Research Associate for the Department of Human Nutritional Sciences at RCFFN, said, “The Youngevity research protocols are comprehensive and rigorous. We are very pleased that the initial pilot program was a success and brings us confidence that the larger scale study should run smoothly and provide promising results.”

“The successful completion of the pilot study is another milestone for Youngevity, and we expect the research will be completed by the first quarter of 2014 and will be reported within the same time frame,” said Steve Wallach, Youngevity’s Chief Executive Officer. “This is Youngevity’s second large scale research study performed by a recognized academic research institution to provide the best analysis of these signature Youngevity products. In the past year, the Nutraceutical Research Institute at Clemson University directed a research study demonstrating the safety, inflammatory benefits, and effect on various human cancer cells lines of the Youngevity products, Beyond Tangy Tangerine® and Ultimate Classic Plant Derived Minerals.”

Youngevity Launches New Product

Press Release | 1/7/2014

Imortalium™ combines the most effective anti-aging nutrients in a cutting-edge, bi-layered and extended release tablet that nutritionally helps promote cellular longevity and telomere health to help slow the natural aging process. Imortalium™ contains synergizing antioxidant enzymes and essential nutrients that offer among the greatest telomere support.

In order to further advance the anti-aging qualities of Imortalium™, it has been packaged in a unique, technologically advanced Miron violet glass bottle. The Miron violet glass works as a filter that blocks the complete spectrum of visible light with the exception of the violet wave length to protect the quality of the nutrients in each tablet.

William Andreoli, President of Youngevity International said, “The global anti-aging product market is growing and expected to reach over $290 billion by 2015, which is fuelled by the aging population seeking anti-aging support in the form of nutritional supplementation. The importance of telomeres to health and ageing continues to grow. The discovery of telomeres and how they protect the ends of chromosomes against degradation had a major impact within the scientific community and a team of scientists were awarded a Noble Prize in Physiology of Medicine in 2009. Youngevity is dedicated to delivering solutions to help health-conscious people Live Younger, Longer and we believe Imortalium is a solution for healthy aging.”

“We received a very enthusiastic response from our global distributor and customer base during the launch of our new breakthrough anti-aging supplement, Imortalium, on December 31st,” said Steve Wallach, Youngevity’s Chief Executive Officer. “We are very excited about the tremendous potential benefits and results of Imortalium to combat aging and believe we have a great opportunity to make a major impact in the growing multi-billion dollar anti-aging global product market. We filed a trademark for the name Imortalium through the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) in January 2013 and we anticipate the registration of the trademark early this year.”

“Our New Year’s Eve conference call was a huge success and a great way to start the year for our growing Company,” said Dave Briskie, Chief Financial Officer of Youngevity International. “We made other major announcements during the call, which included the introduction of our Youngevity 90 for Life mobile app to bring our sales platform into the mobile world of smartphones and tablets. We also introduced our multi-vitamin/mineral complex on-the-go Beyond Tangy Tangerine 2.0 Stick Packs and Beyond Hot Chocolate made from organic cacao beans. We will continue to accelerate our expansion into various international markets and expect this will be a major growth driver for the next several years.”

Youngevity Urges FDA to Require Selenium in Infant Formula

Press Release | 6/25/2013

The Proposed Rule would require inclusion of selenium in infant formula, which has now been confirmed by the FDA to be "an essential trace element for humans" adding that selenium deficiencies "may be of greatest concern in infants and children" especially to those that are entirely fed through formula.

In support of the Proposed Rule, Youngevity and its distributors filed official Comments reiterating selenium's integral role as part of a healthy diet. Youngevity's Comment also relied on an evaluation by noted researcher, chemist, and scholar Dr. G.N. Schrauzer, Ph.D. who also serves on Youngevity's Scientific Advisory Board. Citing Dr. Schrauzer's expert opinion, Youngevity recommended that the FDA require the use of an organic form of selenium, selenomethionine, which provides greater health benefits to humans than does the mineral's inorganic form, sodium selenate.

Youngevity has long been a strong advocate of providing the public with important, truthful information about such health benefits and this is only the latest measure taken in support of health derived from supplementation. Youngevity has already successfully petitioned the FDA to allow such claims concerning the consumption of certain omega-3 fatty acids to reduce the risk of coronary heart disease and of the consumption of selenium to reduce the risk of bladder cancer in women as well as prostate and thyroid cancers.

Youngevity CEO, Steve Wallach, stated, "My father, and Youngevity founder, Dr. Joel Wallach, has been at the forefront of Selenium research for nearly 40 years and the Proposed Rule would only amplify the importance of mineral supplementation, especially to children who rely on infant formula as their only nutrient source."

The FDA will continue to accept comments on its Proposed Rule until July 1, 2013.

Youngevity Announces Partnership with Drew Pearson

Press Release | 5/9/2013

Drew Pearson began his professional NFL career in 1973 as a "walk-on" free agent with the Dallas Cowboys, where he rose to become one of the NFL's greatest all-time wide receivers. A three time All Pro, Drew Pearson played his entire professional football career for the Dallas Cowboys and helped the Cowboys to three Super Bowl appearances and a victory in Super Bowl XII in 1978. Pearson is recognized for many achievements highlighted by being named to the NFL 1970s All-Decade Team. His name is proudly displayed in Cowboys Stadium as a member of their prestigious Ring of Honor.

Pearson was known as "Mr. Clutch" for his numerous clutch catches in game-winning situations, especially the celebrated "Hail Mary" reception from Roger Staubach that sealed the victory in a 1975 playoff game, one of the most famous plays in Dallas Cowboys and NFL history. He caught the game-sealing touchdown in the 1973 playoff game against the Los Angeles Rams and the game-winning touchdown pass from reserve quarterback Clint Longley in the 1974 Thanksgiving game against the Washington Redskins. All three of those plays were named among the Top 75 plays in NFL history by NFL Films in 1994 and were included on a video/DVD by that name. In 2009, on the NFL Network show "NFL's Top 10," in the episode titled "Greatest Dallas Cowboys," he was named as one of the 10 Greatest Dallas Cowboys to ever play.

Since August of 2012, Pearson has been a co-host of The Drew Pearson Show, "More Than Just Sports," which is the pre and postgame show for the Dallas Cowboys season. On the show, Drew shares real life stories of his own personal experience with the Cowboys coupled with engaging guests and informative interviews. The show is featured on local Dallas FOX television affiliates and the audio portion of the show will be broadcasted over several different internet sports radio stations nationwide.

Drew Pearson stated, "I am very excited about joining the professional team at Youngevity as they continue to promote wellness and good health through their amazing array of products. I am fully engaged in their 90 for Life program and I have personally enjoyed the benefits from a number of their products. I became sold on the company through the use of their natural topical pain reliever called CM Cream. Obviously, after playing 11 years in the NFL for the Dallas Cowboys, I walked away from the game with a few bumps and bruises. I have been dealing with an arthritic and joint pain condition that has accelerated at my current age. I am proud to endorse Youngevity's CM Cream which provided me almost immediate relief from the knee joint pain I had been experiencing for years. Trust me...it REALLY works for me."

Steve Wallach, CEO of AL International, Inc. said, "We are extremely fortunate to have the original number 88 join our team. I am personally thrilled that Drew Pearson is having success with our products and I could not be prouder to have him be a part of our Athletic Advisory Board."

Youngevity Doubles Shipping Capacity

Press Release | 4/10/2012

Youngevity’s increased shipping capacity has become necessary due to the success of two health & wellness campaigns that were launched in November 2011 to rave reviews: the ‘90 For Life’ Campaign and the ‘Get Skinny’ Program. The new shipping stations were integrated into Youngevity’s existing shipping network and are designed to handle steadily increasing demand for the products associated with the campaigns, and leaders on the Company’s roster of over 400 nutritional products and specialized fortified coffee. The Company currently has more than 70,000 active distributors and customers and fulfills approximately 36,000 orders on a monthly basis.

The ‘90 For Life’ Campaign promotes the Company’s philosophy that all individuals need at least 90 essential nutrients for good health. All of these nutrients are included in the Company’s Healthy Start Pak™ that includes Beyond Tangy Tangerine® (a multivitamin/mineral/amino acid supplement), EFA Plus™ (an essential fatty acid supplement), and Osteo-fx Plus™ (a bone and joint health supplement). Beyond Tangy Tangerine® is currently Youngevity’s most popular product in both volume and revenue, and has consecutively generated over $1 million in both February and March. Collectively, these products have been designed to address a wide range of health issues common in the US today, ranging from support for healthy blood sugar and blood pressure levels to cardiovascular, bone and joint, and brain health.*

The Get Skinny Program promotes healthy weight loss and features the Company’s Slender Fx™ Weight Management System. The System integrates a set of four core nutritional supplements that promote elements such as metabolism, comprehensive nutrient intake, and detoxification/cleansing. The Company continues to receive positive feedback from its customers on the Get Skinny Program, and attributes the growth in customers and distributors to the demand for the products included in the weight management system.

To date, Youngevity is the only network marketing company to successfully petition the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to establish qualified health claims for selenium, antioxidant vitamins and essential fatty acids.

Steve Wallach, Chief Executive Officer of AL International, said, “Youngevity’s increased shipping capacity gives us the ability to fulfill an unprecedented number of orders per month. As we previously reported, we added 25,000 new customer and distributor enrollments in the past four months alone.

Youngevity Hosts Over 1000 at Global Convention

Press Release | 4/3/2012

Growing direct-selling conglomerate Youngevity® Essential Life Sciences reports that approximately 1,000 independent business owners and customers from around the world gathered in Orlando, Florida, on March 29-31 at the company’s Annual Global Convention. Youngevity is a wholly owned subsidiary of AL International, a global direct marketer of lifestyle and nutritional products and services and gourmet coffee.

The event marked Youngevity’s 15th anniversary and was its first Annual Global Convention as a publicly traded company. The company became publicly traded following its August 2011 merger with Javalution Coffee Company, and now offers over 400 nutritional products and lifestyle-related services in addition to specialized fortified coffee products. The company currently has more than 70,000 active distributors and customers and fulfills approximately 36,000 orders on a monthly basis.

Attendees at the event traveled from all 50 states and countries as distant as Japan and the Philippines to hear AL International executives Steve Wallach, CEO; William Andreoli, President; Dave Briskie, Vice President of Commercial Development; and featured speakers Dr. Joel D. Wallach, BS, DVM, ND, the nutritional research pioneer who founded Youngevity in 1997; and Theo Ratliff, former NBA All-Star.

The event adds to the momentum from the recent ‘90 for Life’ and ‘Get Skinny’ campaigns that have significantly increased distributorship and recently added 25,000 new customers. Following the event, the company plans to announce new campaigns featuring wellness-based products and services to support a healthy lifestyle.

Convention Highlights Included:

-- Presentations on a variety of topics, including direct sales and marketing techniques, challenges for independent business owners, leadership development, women in business, ‘90 for Life’ nutrition, and anti-aging/mineral makeup/natural skincare.

-- The full integration with Financial Destination, Inc., the lifestyle services company that joined Youngevity in August 2011, was announced. All Youngevity customers and distributors now have access to the full range of FDI services.

-- The introduction of a stock option plan for Youngevity’s network of distributors. AL International is looking to expand its shareholder base and incentivize its employees to drive revenue and become shareholders.

-- Attendance by the founders and key distributors of True2Life. True2Life, with distribution in the United States, Mexico and the Philippines, is the newest brand to join with Youngevity.

-- Former NBA All-Star Theo Ratliff awarded the Theo Ratliff Rebound Award to Vice Presidential Marketing Director Vivian Wayman of Draper, Utah.

-- Richard Renton, a member of Youngevity’s Scientific and Athletic Advisory Boards, received the Presidential Award of Excellence. Mr. Renton is also a member of AL International’s Board of Directors.

-- A spotlight on the milestone that Youngevity is now entering its 16th year of business.

“This year’s Annual Global Convention marked a milestone in our company’s history, and it was our biggest event to date,” said Steve Wallach, CEO. “Not only was it our first major event as a public company, it also came at a time when we’re surging toward our goal of becoming a global force in the direct selling industry.”

In March, the company announced robust growth on the strength of more than 25,000 new customer and distributor enrollments that have taken place over the last four months. “We reported revenue of $40 million for fiscal 2011 and we are confident that we will significantly increase that number this year,” Wallach added. “As the number of distributors that are in our network continues to grow, so will AL International, and I look forward to updating our shareholders as we press forward,” he said.

Youngevity Founder Awarded Klaus Schwarz Medal

Press Release | 1/4/2012

SAN DIEGO, Jan 4. 2012 -- Youngevity® Essential Life Sciences (www.youngevity.com), a wholly-owned subsidiary of AL International (www.alintjcof.com) (JCOF-PK) and direct seller of lifestyle and nutritional products and gourmet healthy coffee, proudly announced that its founder, Dr. Joel D. Wallach, BS, DVM, ND is the 2011 recipient of the Klaus Schwarz Commemorative Medal. This prestigious award, sponsored by the International Association of Bioinorganic Scientists, Inc. (IABS), recognizes the work of pioneers in the field of trace element research and is named after Klaus Schwarz (1914-1978), a leading trace element researcher best known for his discovery of the essentiality of selenium.

The IABS cited Wallach's groundbreaking discovery of an animal model of cystic fibrosis, a disease that affects 70,000 people worldwide. In 1978, as a researcher at the Emory University Yerkes National Primate Center in Atlanta, Georgia, Wallach observed pancreatic lesions that were identical to those observed in human patients in the offspring of inadequately-fed rhesus monkeys. This suggested that cystic fibrosis—at the time believed to be a genetic disorder of humans only—could also be the result of selenium deficiency, and that some forms of cystic fibrosis might be preventable.

Selenium is an essential trace mineral that serves many functions in human physiology, including the synthesis of antioxidants (natural substances that neutralize free radical damage), and thyroid and immune function. It cannot be made by the human body but instead must be obtained through diet. Sources of selenium include nuts, cereals, meat, mushrooms, fish, eggs, and dietary supplements.

"Dr. Wallach is honored for a discovery that is already benefitting many," said Dr. Gerhard N. Schrauzer, PhD, MS, FACN, CNS, and IABS Founder and President. "The broader significance of his discovery three decades ago is only now beginning to be recognized. From a historical perspective, Dr. Wallach is to be regarded as one of the first practitioners, if not founders, of epigenetics, a new scientific discipline that investigates heritable alterations in gene expression."

A detailed article on this year's award was published in the December 2011 edition of the peer-reviewed scientific journal Biological Trace Element Research.

About Dr. Wallach

Before becoming a Naturopathic Physician in 1982, biomedical research pioneer, Dr. Joel D. Wallach, BS, DVM, ND spent two decades in the field of Veterinary Medicine, observing and researching the effects of individual nutrients on animal health. Today, Dr. Wallach is renowned for his groundbreaking research on the health benefits of selenium and other minerals. He currently dedicates his time to lecturing throughout the world on the therapeutic benefits of vitamins and minerals, and on lobbying the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on behalf of the dietary supplement industry.

About the IABS

The International Association of Bioinorganic Scientists (IABS) was founded in 1975 as a non-profit scientific organization to provide workers in the field of "Bioinorganic Chemistry" a unifying forum for the exchange and publication of ideas. The Association's vice president was the renowned Klaus Schwarz, whose passing in 1978 prompted the creation of the Klaus Schwarz Commemorative Medal to honor trace element researchers for their accomplishments. Candidates for the annual award are selected on recommendation from fellow workers in the field or from members of the Editorial Board of the Association's journal, Biological Trace Element Research, or other qualified individuals. A partial list of past recipients includes: James Cecil Smith, USDA Nutrition Institute; Keshan Disease Research Groups at the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and X'ian Medical College; Forrest H. Nielsen and Leslie M. Klevay, USDA Grand Forks Human Nutrition Research Center; Dolph Hatfield, National Cancer Institute; James E. Oldfield, Oregon State University Nutrition Research Institute; and Kazuo T. Suzuki, University of Chiba, Japan.

Youngevity Acquires Financial Destination Inc

Press Release | 10/27/2011

"The joining of our organizations is a game changer for both companies. Bringing FDI into the Youngevity family represents the largest acquisition that we have done to date. Elements of this partnering include having FDI's President and CEO become the President of Youngevity. FDI's strong corporate team stays intact to support the one company," explained AL International CFO, Chris Nelson. "This partnering is going so well that we all are currently calling the combined family of companies FDI-Youngevity," he added.

The merger adds FDI's approximately 100,000 customer contacts and nearly 10,000 active marketers to Youngevity's international direct selling network. Since January, more than 300,000 consumers have used FDI's free pharmacy discount card, saving over $5 million. The card offers discounts of up to 85% at major pharmacies such as Walgreens, CVS, Target and Wal-Mart. The merger allows FDI's sales force to offer the full range of Youngevity's more than 400 lifestyle products as well as JavaFit coffees to their customers, while Youngevity sellers may now add FDI's financial benefits to their customers.

"Mergers and acquisitions are a key component of our aggressive growth strategy," said Steve Wallach, CEO of AL International. "The deal with FDI represents an important and exciting piece of the 'network of networks' we're creating that brings together independent entrepreneurs and hundreds of thousands of customers. Moreover, FDI's distributor training and recognition programs, regarded as second to none in the direct selling industry, are already beginning to take our company to the next level," he added.

William J Andreoli, founder of FDI and President of Youngevity, called the merger "a win-win" for all sides. "Youngevity provides a strong and aggressive marketing group plus exceptional products and solid infrastructure. The FDI team now has access to their gourmet coffee line, hundreds of consumable products, and international marketing opportunities. Consumers are looking for ways to simplify their lives, stay healthy, and achieve financial stability. Working with Youngevity, we believe we can offer solutions to what today's consumers are looking for," he said.

Youngevity Acquires Adaptogenix

Press Release | 9/7/2011

Deal Includes Pur3X™ Line of "Designer Beverages"

SAN DIEGO, Aug. 25, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Youngevity Essential Life Sciences, a global direct marketer of lifestyle and nutritional products and gourmet healthy coffee, announced today that it is acquiring Adaptogenix International, the Salt Lake City-based direct seller of a unique line of botanical-derived products. Youngevity is a wholly-owned subsidiary of AL International, Inc. (JCOF-PK).

Adaptogenix is the fourth company Youngevity has acquired since its merger with Javalution Coffee Company earlier this summer.

"Once again, we are pleased to bring into our 'consumer cloud' yet another company that has great synergies with us and further adds to the reach of our rapidly-growing independent sales force," said Steve Wallach, CEO of Youngevity. "The growth plan we announced to shareholders earlier this year is continuing on track. This latest acquisition adds to our momentum as we build a consumer cloud of friend-to-friend advertising for multiple products and services."

Adaptogenix offers premium products addressing health and wellness concerns such as support for healthy brain function and weight management. Adaptogens are a class of botanical compounds that support the body's innate healing ability and natural resistance to stress.* Privately-owned Adaptogenix was launched last year by founder and CEO, Andrew Rinehart. The company has sales in North America, Asia, and the Middle East.

Rinehart will continue to participate actively with the company. "Andrew's energy and expertise are priceless assets. We are thrilled to have the benefit of his involvement as we move forward," said Wallach.

The acquisition also includes a new line of health- and wellness-supporting "designer beverages," including Pur Renew, an energy drink, and Pur Revolution, an all-natural vitamin and antioxidant drink.* Last year Adaptogenix had revenues of $3.37 million.

"Adaptogenix is a profitable, debt-free company with a healthy bottom line. Besides adding to our profitability and product line, this acquisition brings us an additional 4,000 active sellers and a database of more than 25,000 additional customers. These are people who already have an interest in healthy lifestyle products, so we know they'll love the chance to buy and sell the hundreds of products in our Youngevity and JavaFit® lines," said Wallach. He noted that the Adaptogenix line includes a proprietary brand of healthy coffee, which fits well with the JavaFit coffee brands.

Wallach said the acquisition was structured in a way that is favorable to Youngevity shareholders and that there is no share dilution, because no new shares were issued.
