LifeVantage Spokesperson Donny Osmond Appears on Dr Phil Show

Press Release | 2/11/2012

SALT LAKE CITY, Feb 9, 2012 -- LifeVantage Corporation, maker of Protandim(R), the Nrf2 Synergizer(TM) patented Dietary Supplement, announced today that its spokesperson, Donny Osmond, appeared on the Dr. Phil show February 8 and shared one of his "secrets" to his youthful appearance and vitality--Protandim. On the heels of Donny's appearance, Protandim ranked first among Google searches in the United States February 8, and remains in the top among Google searches in the United States February 9. In addition to its Google trend ranking, LifeVantage.com visits were up nearly 300% and Protandim.com visits were up over 800% during the same time period.

Donny Osmond, the 2009 "Dancing with the Stars" champion, said he had discovered what he called his own "fountain of youth"--Protandim--during his appearance on the Dr. Phil show. Donny added that he has taken Protandim for two years at his doctor's recommendation and has experienced many health benefits and anti-aging results.

"This continues to be an exciting time for Protandim and LifeVantage," said LifeVantage President and CEO, Douglas C. Robinson. "There is an ever increasing number of Nrf2 studies in many of the most respected universities and institutions around the world. It is also gratifying to know that Protandim is of such interest that people have been typing 'Protandim' in Google searches more than any other word recently."

About Protandim, the Nrf2 Synergizer

Protandim(R) is a clinically demonstrated supplement that provides substantial benefits for healthy aging. Nrf2 is a protein messenger contained in every cell of the body. When activated, Nrf2 enters the cell nucleus and turns on hundreds of survival genes, defensive, stress responsive, cytoprotective genes that enable cells to survive in the face of several different kinds of stress, particularly oxidative stress. This patented Nrf2-activating therapy works in a very different way than conventional antioxidant supplements. Unlike vitamin or carotenoid-containing products that have proven to be largely ineffective in reducing oxidative stress caused by free radicals, Protandim is an indirect antioxidant therapy, which stimulates the body's production of its own powerful antioxidant enzymes and other stress-related gene products. Protandim works at the cellular level, triggering cells to naturally increase production of protective antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, and glutathione synthase, while decreasing production of pro-inflammatory signals. A peer-reviewed human clinical study showed that after Protandim was taken for 30 consecutive days, important biochemical markers of aging were decreased by an average of 40%. The study also reported that these markers of aging were reduced in the subjects taking Protandim to the level of a typical 20 year old. Protandim is currently the subject of several scientific studies at universities and research facilities. The nature and stages of the studies vary. Under the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act, Protandim is considered a "dietary supplement". Protandim is not intended for the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, mitigation or cure of any disease.

LifeVantage Announces New Peer Reviewed Study

Press Release | 11/11/2011

SALT LAKE CITY, Nov 10, 2011 -- LifeVantage Corporation, the maker of science-based solutions to oxidative stress, announced today that a new peer-reviewed study involving its flagship product, Protandim(R), has been published in the scientific journal Molecular Aspects of Medicine. The new paper takes a historical look at the field of biological antioxidants and oxidative stress, examines gene regulation by Protandim(R) and relevant pathways, and links together past observations about antioxidant enzyme functions with current investigations into antioxidant gene regulation.

Protandim(R), a patented dietary supplement comprised of five highly synergistic natural ingredients, was shown in earlier studies to activate the transcription factor Nrf2, a signal to the cell's DNA to regulate a network of protective genes. This new study further investigates Protandim's(R) ability to increase production of the body's Nrf2-regulated protective genes, sometimes referred to as "survival genes," which include genes that encode antioxidant enzymes, as well as anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic proteins.

The study, titled "Oxidative Stress in Health and Disease: The Therapeutic Potential of Nrf2 Activation" by Brooks M. Hybertson, Bifeng Gao, Swapan K. Bose, and Joe M. McCord, is published in the scientific journal Molecular Aspects of Medicine and may be found at the following link: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22020111 .

"This study examined gene expression using Affymetrix(R) GeneChips and the relationships among the regulated genes using Ingenuity Pathway Analysis(R) in cultured human cells treated with Protandim(R)," said Dr. McCord, Chief Science Officer of LifeVantage and senior author of the study.

Thousands of genes were affected by Protandim(R) treatment, including prototypical Nrf2-dependent genes such as heme oxygenase-1. Pathway Analysis was utilized to glean insights from the upregulated and downregulated genes, and it revealed that many of the genes affected by Nrf2 activation are relevant to Alzheimer's Disease, atherosclerosis, and colon carcinoma, among other conditions. For the majority of the genes associated with these conditions by pathway analysis, Nrf2 activation in cultured cells regulated the genes in directions that opposed the changes produced by the disease processes.

Further, the study described a bioassay that allows for direct comparisons of efficacy among Nrf2 activators applied to cultured cells. The agents examined included Protandim(R) and sulforaphane, the well-studied Nrf2 activator found in broccoli, and two pharmaceutical Nrf2-activating products currently in phase 3 human clinical trials. One of these, bardoxolone methyl from Reata Pharmaceuticals/Abbott Laboratories, is a promising candidate for the treatment of chronic kidney disease in type II diabetes patients, based on their reported Phase 2 and Phase 3 human clinical trials to date. The other pharmaceutical product, BG-12 (dimethyl fumarate) from Biogen Idec, is a promising candidate for the treatment of relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis, based on their reported Phase 2 and Phase 3 human clinical trials results to date. Both pharma products recognize Nrf2 pathway activation as the basis of their physiological activity.

"The early successes of Nrf2 activation in the treatment of diseases as disparate as kidney failure and multiple sclerosis bodes well for the future usefulness of Nrf2 activation, whether managed by pharmaceutical products, dietary supplements such as Protandim(R), or by diet itself," said Dr. McCord.

"Protandim(R) was shown in an earlier human trial to increase antioxidant enzyme production and to eliminate the age-dependent increase in the most widely used marker of oxidative stress," stated Douglas C. Robinson, Chief Executive Officer of LifeVantage. "The current study, as well as other recent studies, have shown that Protandim(R) may provide benefits to the body that extend beyond its ability to decrease oxidative stress. Scientific publications such as these help raise the profile and expand the awareness of our product, and we look forward to continuing to help a growing number of people achieve their health and wellness goals."

LifeVantage Announces Record Fiscal Year

Press Release | 9/30/2011

SALT LAKE CITY, Sept. 28, 2011 -- LifeVantage Corporation, makers of Protandim®, the Nrf2 Synergizer(TM) patented dietary supplement, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 and issued fiscal year 2012 revenue and operating income guidance.

For the fourth fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2011, the Company reported record net revenue of $15.0 million compared to $4.4 million for the same period in fiscal 2010, an increase of 241% from the prior year period. On a sequential basis, net revenue increased 50% from the $10.0 million reported for the third fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2011.

Gross profit for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 increased to $12.9 million compared to $3.7 million for the same period last year, delivering an improved gross margin of approximately 86%, compared to 83% for the same period last year.

Operating expenses for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2011 were $11.0 million compared to $4.0 million for the same period last year, and on a sequential basis increased 45% from $7.6 million in the third fiscal quarter of 2011. The increase on a sequential basis is due primarily to increased sales commissions which are a direct result of the Company's increased revenue. The increase also reflects greater investment in personnel and infrastructure to position the Company for future growth.

Operating income improved to $2.0 million for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2011 compared to a loss of $290 thousand in the same period last year. The fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 is the Company's fourth consecutive quarter of achieving operating income. Operating income margin improved to 13% in the fourth quarter compared to a negative margin in the same period last year.

Douglas C. Robinson, Chief Executive Officer of LifeVantage, stated, "We are extremely pleased to report a record year for LifeVantage, as our strong financial performance underscores the expanding awareness of Protandim® and the successful execution of our business model. On an annual basis, our revenue more than tripled compared to last year, and we increased our operating income in each quarter of fiscal 2011. We also made significant improvements to our balance sheet and ended the year in a very healthy financial position, which provides us the financial flexibility to make the appropriate strategic investments in fiscal 2012 to support our long-term growth opportunities."

Mr. Robinson continued, "As the scientific support of Protandim® grows and more people seek our products to improve their overall health and wellness, it is important for us to have the appropriate infrastructure to support the continued growth that we believe our business is capable of delivering. Looking toward fiscal 2012, we anticipate that our total net revenue will more than double compared to fiscal 2011 and our operating income will also increase by over 100%. To ensure that we are positioned to sustain rapid growth for years to come, we are committed to making the appropriate investments in our sales and marketing departments, research and development efforts, and within our corporate infrastructure. We are very focused on improving the efficiency of our organization and continuing to increase our operating income while we make these investments."

For the full year ended June 30, 2011, net revenue increased 238% to $38.9 million from $11.5 million in fiscal 2010. Gross profit improved to $33.0 million in fiscal 2011 compared to $9.6 million in fiscal 2010. Operating income increased to $3.7 million in fiscal 2011, compared to an operating loss of $7.3 million in fiscal 2010. Operating income margin improved to 9.5% for the year compared to a loss for the prior fiscal year.

The Company ended fiscal 2011 with a much stronger balance sheet than when the year began. Its cash balance improved to $6.4 million due to strong revenue growth and operating profits generated by the business. The Company generated $4.7 million of cash flow from operations for the full year fiscal 2011 compared to a cash use from operations of $4.5 million in fiscal 2010. During fiscal 2011, an aggregate face value of $5.6 million in debt was converted into shares of the Company's common stock, eliminating all convertible debt.

Due to the improvements made to its balance sheet in fiscal 2011 as well as the Company's outlook for strong operating cash flow in fiscal 2012, the Company recently announced a share repurchase program that authorizes it to utilize up to $5 million to purchase common stock over the course of the twelve months beginning October 1, 2011. Any such repurchases will be made only out of free cash flow from continuing operations and, on a quarterly basis, will not exceed 50% of free cash flow for such quarter.

LifeVantage At Accredited Members Conference

LifeVantage Small Cap Equity Review

Press Release | 6/2/2011

Small cap equity research analyst James Brumley has published in-depth investment research of Lifevantage Corporation. The analysis can be reviewed by any interested part at the Small Cap Network (http://www.smallcapnetwork.com), a small-cap-focused research and news website that allows for community participation and research contribution from its members.

"Lifevantage Corporation is in the midst of a turnaround story, and investors who take a closer look at the company may find an idea most everyone else is overlooking while searching for something a little sexier," says Brumley. The declining sales trend seen between 2006 and 2008 has been reversed, in spades. Fiscal 2010's $11.5 million in revenue is a record, even if it was paired with a record loss of $11 million. The numbers and the way Lifevantage's fiscal calendar falls, however, may obscure something very compelling that's just unfolded in the last three quarters... the company has swung to a profit, and just posted its best quarterly sales ever. It managed to turn $10.0 million in revenue last quarter into a profit of $792,000. Brumley adds "Just to put it into perspective, this supplement distributor generated $7.46 million in revenue for the prior quarter (a record at the time), and generated $6.4 million in sales for the quarter before that (also a record at the time). The bottom line has been reliable too, with an operating per-share profit of $0.01 three quarters ago, what would have been about $0.01 worth of per-share profit two quarters ago (a big accounting benefit boosted the total), and it posted earnings of about $0.01 per share for the most recently-completed quarter." Unlike so many other pill and supplement makers/distributors, Lifevantage has something unique, effective, and patented - Protandim. This supplement improves a user's innate antioxidant protection, and the claim has been verified - repeatedly - in clinical studies. As such, the organization clearly has something that some corporations never find, which is a marketable product and a business model that works.

LifeVantage Dubs Protandim BSCG Approved

Press Release | 3/3/2011

LifeVantage Corporation, the maker of science-based solutions to oxidative stress, announced today that the Banned Substances Control Group (BSCG) recently certified its flagship product, Protandim, as free of substances banned by the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) and other professional and amateur sports associations. Protandim®, a patented dietary supplement comprised of five highly synergistic herbal ingredients, has been shown in earlier studies to activate the transcription factor Nrf2, a signal to the cell's DNA to regulate a network of protective genes.

"Samples of Protandim® have been analyzed for anabolic agents and stimulants and no prohibited compounds were detected in the product," stated Oliver Catlin, of the BSCG in Los Angeles, CA. "As a result, we have issued a certification for Protandim® at this time. The BSCG seal lets customers know the product has been certified and does not contain dangerous banned substances."

"We are proud that Protandim® has been scrutinized and certified by the BSCG to ensure that consumers and athletes are able to take the product with confidence," stated David W. Brown, President & CEO of LifeVantage. "We are pleased to participate in a program which helps to differentiate between responsible supplement manufacturers, of which we strive to be, and those whose products may present unnecessary risks."

"According to the BSCG, athletes are held personally liable for any substances prohibited by the USADA, the IOC, the NCAA, and the NFL which may be present in their bloodstream, regardless of the substances' origins," stated Gene Tipps, Senior Vice President of Operations of LifeVantage. "For this reason, athletes must be extremely careful about what they put into their bodies. We have found that a substantial number of athletes feel supplements are a vital part of their training regimen and as such, we are proud to be able to provide a quality product to those in the sports arena, athletes as well as consumers."

According to their website, the BSCG was founded by professionals with years of experience in the field of anti-doping analytical work and the group addresses the concern that dangerous banned substances can be found in dietary supplements, even when these substances are not listed as ingredients. The BSCG assists responsible dietary supplement manufacturers by utilizing cutting edge anti-doping methodology to analyze and certify that a sample of their product was tested for a list of banned substances, and that no banned substances were found in that sample above certain detection limits. More information on the BSCG can be found on their website, www.bscg.org.

LifeVantage Announces First Quarter Revenue

SunHerald.com | 10/17/2009

LifeVantage Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: LFVN), the maker of Protandim® and TrueScience(TM) Anti-Aging Cream, science-based solutions to oxidative stress, announced preliminary unaudited net revenue for the first fiscal quarter of 2010. The Company anticipates net revenue of approximately $1.9 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2009, compared to net revenue of $1.6 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2009. This continued growth in revenue demonstrates the success of the Company's on-going expansion into the network marketing distribution model.

Total operating expenses in the first fiscal quarter of 2010 decreased by approximately 25% from total operating expenses of $6.1 million in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2009. This decline is primarily attributable to reductions of approximately 80% in total legal expenses. In the first fiscal quarter of 2010, legal expenses decreased by approximately $1 million and other operating expenses decreased by approximately $0.5 million. These decreases are directly attributable to the Company's efforts in expense reductions and greatly reduced activity in litigation in which the Company has been a party.

Business Wire | 11/28/2008

Results of a new peer-reviewed study published online in the journal Free Radical Biology and Medicine clearly demonstrates that the synergistic impact of the active ingredients used in the formulation of Protandim® dramatically increases the body’s production of glutathione, a key antioxidant and anti-aging factor, as well as increases important antioxidant enzymes.

Protandim®, a patented product developed by LifeVantage Corporation (OTCBB:LFVN), was proven by an earlier study to actually slow the progressive rate of aging.
