Better Health for All

LifeVantage Corporation's core product, Protandim NRF2 Synergizer, has been the subject of an FDA Warning Letter in April 2017 for being marketed with unsubstantiated disease prevention and treatment claims, which would classify it as an unapproved drug.

The FDA cited claims such as anti-inflammatory, cardiovascular disease prevention, diabetes prevention, and cancer prevention. While a third-party cell study in January 2025 indicated synergistic effects and gene activation, it was accompanied by an FDA disclaimer stating the product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Human studies on Protandim have yielded mixed results, with some suggesting benefits and others showing no effect, and large-scale, controlled human trials are lacking. Distributors frequently make claims about Protandim's benefits that are not supported by robust scientific evidence, and the company's statements about compliance are contradicted by some distributors' marketing actions. The company's focus on monetizing products over conducting research for research's sake is a concern. The company's revenue from products with misleading health claims, which the FDA deemed as intended for disease treatment without approval, indicates a significant portion of revenue from activities with negative health outcomes due to unsubstantiated claims. The company's safety record lacks long-term human safety studies for Protandim. The third-party cell study mentioned in January 2025 is a cell culture study, not a clinical trial on humans, and the article does not provide details on ethical conduct for human trials.

The provided investor overview explicitly states it contains no data relevant to fair lending, financial inclusion, or other metrics related to the 'Fair Money & Economic Opportunity' value. Therefore, no evidence is available to score any of the KPIs.

Fair Trade & Ethical Sourcing

LifeVantage audits its manufacturing partners and suppliers on human rights matters, and its supply chain and manufacturing partners for business practices, at least every three years.

The company's total supply chain management system tracks all lots of finished product and raw materials used, providing complete traceability from beginning to end. Vendors must report security breaches, incidents, and/or vulnerabilities within one business day. Most corrective actions are closed within 120–180 days. The company requires third-party vendors to sign and adhere to a Vendor Code of Conduct, which includes clauses on human rights, labor rights, child labor, and forced labor, and expects partners and suppliers to comply with its Human Rights Policy. The Code of Vendor Conduct was amended and restated on November 7, 2024. The company has confirmed the source of palm oil derivatives used in the TrueScience line are from RSPO approved sustainable sources, and fish oils are from MSC certified fisheries. Vendors must exercise due diligence on the source and chain of custody of minerals and report if any originate from conflict countries. The minimum age for employment for vendors is 15 years old, with a child defined as under 18 years old.

Kind to Animals

LifeVantage has a zero-tolerance policy for animal testing on any of its finished cosmetic or ingestible products intended for human use.

However, the company conducts animal testing for some of its medical products and clinical research, including pre-clinical trials of its drugs on animals. For pet products, trials are conducted in the targeted animal population, using methods equivalent to human nutritional studies, with a commitment not to jeopardize animal welfare and requiring research partners to adhere to strictly regulated guidelines.

No War, No Weapons

LifeVantage audits its manufacturing partners and suppliers on human rights matters, including child labor, human trafficking, and forced labor, at least every three years.

The company is a signatory to the United Nations Global Compact and supports the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights. LifeVantage is committed to not sourcing materials that directly or indirectly fund armed groups in any regions of conflict around the world, and explicitly lists several conflict countries. The company conducts annual reviews of its partners, confirming zero conflict-sector partnerships. It requires vendors to conduct country of origin inquiries for minerals and report if they originate from conflict countries, and reserves the right to audit vendors for compliance with its Code of Vendor Conduct, considering any breach a material breach of contract.

Zero Waste & Sustainable Products

LifeVantage Corporation has set a company-wide target to achieve zero-waste packaging by 2030, aiming for all packaging to be recyclable, reusable, or compostable by that year.

The company requires manufacturing partners to adhere to US cGMP or Australian TGA standards. Additionally, it sources fish oil from Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) certified fisheries, palm oil derivatives from RSPO approved sustainable sources, and shipping box corrugate from Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) certified sources. However, there is no specific evidence of waste reduction or recyclability requirements imposed on all suppliers beyond these certifications and manufacturing standards.
