"Mexico ranks among the top five countries in terms of network marketing, according to the Direct Sellers Association (DSA).

Within the last 30 days, LifeVantage began accepting Independent Distributor applications and product orders from hundreds of new distributors in our Mexican market in anticipation of our late summer launch," said Ryan Thompson, LifeVantage Vice President of Sales, who is overseeing the company's entry into Mexico.

David W. Brown, LifeVantage President and CEO commented, "There are several reasons we are expanding into Mexico. Network marketing companies traditionally have achieved outstanding results in Mexico and that, coupled with the fact that LifeVantage has strong distributor relationships in the country, were key factors in the expansion decision. Nutrition and wellness product sales are booming in Mexico and we believe that Protandim and TrueScience are ideal for this market, especially with the research and science that supports our products."

About Protandim®

Protandim® is a clinically proven supplement that provides substantial benefits to help with the challenges of healthy aging. This patented antioxidant therapy works in a very different way than conventional foods such as red wine, oranges, blueberries or other popular antioxidant supplements. Protandim® works by increasing the body's natural antioxidant protection at the cellular level, triggering (inducing) cells to produce naturally occurring protective antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, and glutathione synthase.

A peer-reviewed human clinical study showed that after Protandim® was taken for 30 consecutive days, the accumulation of lipid peroxidation products (a biochemical marker of aging) was decreased by an average of 40%. The study also reported that this important marker of aging was decreased after taking Protandim® to the level of a typical 20-year-old. Protandim® is currently the subject of approximately 20 scientific studies at leading universities and research facilities. The nature and stages of the studies vary, as some of the testing is at a preliminary stage, while other studies using Protandim® are currently in progress.
