SAN DIEGO--(Business Wire)--
Burke Hedges, author of Who Stole the American Dream and Parable of the
Pipeline, is considered an icon in the network marketing industry. He has built
multi-million dollar network marketing organizations and is a sought-after
speaker and trainer on network marketing, as well as the author of seven books
that have sold over four million copies worldwide and have been translated into
20 different languages. LifeVantage Corporation (OTCBB:LFVN),the maker of
Protandim®, today announced that Burke Hedges has joined the LifeVantage team as
an independent distributor. 

Burke Hedges commented, "For 21 years, my specific area of expertise is network
marketing - I have built two multi-million dollar network marketing
organizations and speak internationally on the subject. I have written seven
books to educate, empower and equip distributors of the industry with the
knowledge and tools to build a successful and profitable network marketing
business. When I learned about the LifeVantage opportunity, I was blown away by
the life changing, breakthrough science behind Protandim, which I believe will,
without question, create mass market appeal and demand for the product. It`s not
another `me too` product - it`s backed by science. When I learned the company
was using the proven, word of mouth, viral network marketing strategy to educate
consumers about the product, I became unglued with excitement. I`ve waited years
for an opportunity with such explosive growth potential like LifeVantage." 

Hedges added, "Two other important factors weighed in my decision. First, the
mindset of people worldwide, especially those over age 30, looking for solutions
to slow down the aging process. Baby boomers, the most influential and consuming
generation in recent history are getting older, and are seeking a product with
the benefits of Protandim. Secondly, millions of good, hard working people (old
and young) have been devastated by the recent economic tsunami and are looking
for a way out of their financial challenges. In my 21 year career, I`ve never
seen more people open to retooling their skills in order to resolve their
financial needs. There is no doubt that the LifeVantage home business model may
be the answer for millions of people`s financial challenges, and this has
created a unique time sensitive opportunity for those who understand the
LifeVantage vision." 

David Brown, LifeVantage President and CEO, said, "Burke Hedges is considered to
be a legend in the network marketing industry. He has a track record of building
incredible organizations, and he has consulted for many of the top network
marketing companies in the world. His expertise and insight is sought after by
countless organizations and leaders. It is an honor to welcome Burke to the
LifeVantage family."

About Protandim®

Protandim® is a groundbreaking, clinically proven supplement that provides a
substantial benefit to help with the challenge of healthy aging. This patented
antioxidant therapy works in a very different way than conventional foods such
as red wine, oranges, blueberries or other popular antioxidant supplements; as a
result, according to Dr. Joe McCord, is much more effective than those products
or foods in reducing oxidative stress. Protandim® works by increasing the body's
natural antioxidant protection at the cellular level, triggering cells to
produce naturally occurring protective antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide
dismutase (SOD), catalase, and glutathione synthase. Dr. McCord is a pioneer
scientist in the field of oxidative stress and is on the Company`s Board of
Directors. 

A peer-reviewed human study showed that after Protandim® was taken for 30
consecutive days, the accumulation of lipid peroxidation products (a biochemical
marker of aging) was decreased by an average of 40%, although that reduction may
be not be typical for all those who consume the product. The study also reported
that this important marker of aging was decreased after taking Protandim® to the
level of a typical 20-year-old. Protandim® is currently the subject of over 20
scientific studies at leading universities and research facilities. For more
