Youngevity International, Inc. (NASDAQ:YGYI), a leading
omni-direct lifestyle company, presented at the 11th annual LD Micro Main Event
in Los Angeles, California, on December 5. This event was the largest
independent conference for small and micro-cap businesses, hosting 250
companies with attendees grossing over 1,200.
Youngevity President and Chief Financial Officer Dave
Briskie led the company’s presentation, which took place at 2:00 p.m. PST on
Wednesday, December 5. Company representatives attended personalized meetings
with institutional investors throughout the day, allocating one-on-one time to
discuss individual investor concerns.
For over 20 years since it was founded, Youngevity has
continued to revolutionize its products, driven by one central question: “How
can we live younger, longer?” This question, posed by its co-founder, Dr. Joel
Wallach, reveals his passion for improving health and wellness for animals,
people and environments all over the world.
A recent documentary on the Youngevity founder has been
released by Carpe Diem Media. It is titled “The Audacity of Health: The Dr.
Joel Wallach Story” and has already garnered a global following thanks to
social media. The documentary traces the evolution of Wallach’s quest to spread
health and wellness from the 1960s through his four decades of work in the
industry. Most notably, the film showcases his early research-driven activism
to save the white rhino from pollution in the 1960s, as well as his monumental
victory petitioning the FDA to mandate supplement manufacturers to require
important nutrients like folate, among others, as required dietary supplements.
Folate, once a negligibly known substance, is now recognized as a critical
component in prenatal vitamins to foster fetal health and development. The
benefits of his work for the health and wellness of citizens are innumerable
and far-reaching.
Youngevity CEO Steve Wallach narrated portions of the
documentary. He sees the documentary (http://ibn.fm/KXN84) as a “fitting tribute” to his father,
whose life’s work was to “[positively] impact…health and wellness around the
world.”
Initially, the documentary was hosted on Facebook’s new
“Facebook Premier” feature in an effort to reach a global audience. This post
was viewed by over 30,000 people and garnered more than 1,000 comments. Viewing
engagements continue to be booked. The documentary can also be viewed at JoelWallachDocumentary.com.
The latest viewer statistics indicate that the documentary has already exceeded
10,000 views, covering all 50 states and over 62 countries. It can also be
viewed through Youngevity.com.
Both the success of the documentary and the popularity of
Youngevity’s products have allowed Dr. Joel Wallach to realize (http://ibn.fm/NbVZq) his dream –
to “educate the public about the importance of proper nutrition,” hoping to
reach “tens of thousands, possibly hundreds of thousands of people.”
