Youngevity launched in 1991 and are based out of the US state of California.

The company operates in the health and wellness MLM niche, and is headed up by CEO Steve Wallach.

Wallach’s father, Joel D. Wallach is one of the co-founders of Youngevity.

A biomedical research pioneer, Dr. Joel D. Wallach spent more than 40 years in the field of Veterinary Medicine, observing and researching the effects of individual nutrients on animal health, before becoming a Naturopathic Physician in 1982.

Ma Lan is Youngevity’s other co-founder:

Dr. Lan received her medical degree from Beijing Medical University and her Master’s degree in Transplant Immunology from Zhon-Shan Medical University. She also has extensive training in Traditional Chinese Medicine.

As for Steve (right), his Youngevity corporate bio credits him with ‘
nearly two decades of sales and network marketing experience
‘.

In addition to his work over at Youngevity, Wallach was a co-founder of DrinkACT.

DrinkACT launched in late 2007 and marketed an energy drink under the “Vitalagy” brand.

In early 2013 DrinkACT was acquired by Youngevity. The two companies merged and the DrinkACT brand was dropped.

Acquisitions are a recurring theme over at Youngevity, with the company having acquired Javalution (2011), R-Garden (2011), Bellamora (2011), Financial Desitination Inc. (2011), Adaptogenix International (2011), Heritage Makers (2013), GOFoods Global (2013), Biometics (2013) and Good Herbs Inc. (2014).

In 2014 Youngevity also partially acquired
Beyond Organic
.

The company still operates as a stand-alone enterprise, however the affiliate-bases appear to have been merged:

Youngevity has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire certain assets and assume certain liabilities of Beyond Organic, Inc.

As a result of these business combinations, Youngevity distributors and customers will have access to Beyond Organic’s products and programs.

In turn, Beyond Organic distributors and customers will gain access to more than 500 high-quality, technologically advanced products offered by Youngevity.
