TINA has published a disturbing report, framing Youngevity as a continuation of BlackOxygen Organics.

BlackOxygen Organics
, or BOO as it was known, was arguably last year’s biggest MLM crash and burn.

BOO marketed Canadian bog dirt, harvested a stone’s throw away from a hazardous industrial waste disposal site. You can probably guess how that turned out.

In October 2021 Health Canada issued a
recall on BlackOxygen Organics products
due to health risks.

Stop taking these products. Do not administer the products to children or adolescents.

BlackOxygen Organics
shut down
towards the end of November. Around the same time a
class-action was filed against BOO
, alleging the company sold supplements that “are dangerous for human use and consumption”.

At time of publication the BOO class-action remains pending.

A month later in December, the FDA confirmed BOO’s products contained “elevated levels of lead and arsenic”.

Unfortunately, US regulators thus far have taken no further action was taken against BOO or owner and CEO Marc Saint Onge.

That brings us to Youngevity, who TINA reports Saint Onge immediately turned to after closing down BOO.

Quoting an email sent out by Youngevity to BOO distributors,
TINA wrote in a September 12th report
;

After the executive team of Black Oxygen Organics closed their doors, they approached Youngevity through mutual contacts and wondered if there might be an opportunity for us to assist with their displaced Brand Partners and Customers.

They expressed to Youngevity that they still have an interested, tight-knit community, and they’d love to settle somewhere where they can continue to participate in a compensation program. Youngevity has that.

Presumably Youngevity acquired the BOO distributor database from Saint Onge for an undisclosed sum.

Saint Onge might have also sold Youngevity distribution rights for BOO’s banned products.

Accompanying Youngevity’s unsolicited email was a flyer for “Midnight Minerals”, Youngevity’s new fulvic acid product.

TINA reached out to Youngevity and asked if Midnight Minerals was BOO’s banned supplements repackaged. Youngevity didn’t reply.

I had a look into this myself. Youngevity do not provide country of origin information for their Midnight Minerals mask.

The closest I was able to confirm Midnight Minerals is sourced from Marc Saint Onge’s BOO industrial waste polluted bog, was a
Youngevity corporate webinar from June
.

CEO Steve Wallach featured on the webinar and, pitching Midnight Minerals, stated:

[11:46] Fulvic acid and humic acid are plant acids as well. And they’re usually associated with concentrated plant matter, like our Utah plant minerals.

Like the fulvic minerals from Canada that this product is derived from. That comes from a peat bog in Canada.

All things considered, that’s pretty much confirmation that Youngevity is importing BlackOxygen Organics banned contaminated bog dirt under a different name.

The twist is, while Youngevity had previou
