TINA has revealed a disturbing report, framing Youngevity as a continuation of BlackOxygen Organics.
BlackOxygen Organics, or BOO because it was recognized, was arguably final yr’s greatest MLM crash and burn.
BOO marketed Canadian bathroom dust, harvested a stone’s throw away from a hazardous industrial waste disposal website. You may most likely guess how that turned out.
In October 2021 Well being Canada issued a recall on BlackOxygen Organics merchandise attributable to well being dangers.
Cease taking these merchandise. Don’t administer the merchandise to kids or adolescents.
BlackOxygen Organics shut down in the direction of the tip of November. Across the identical time a class-action was filed in opposition to BOO, alleging the corporate bought dietary supplements that “are harmful for human use and consumption”.
At time of publication the BOO class-action stays pending.
A month later in December, the FDA confirmed BOO’s merchandise contained “elevated ranges of lead and arsenic”.
Sadly, US regulators to date have taken no additional motion was taken in opposition to BOO or proprietor and CEO Marc Saint Onge.
That brings us to Youngevity, who TINA experiences Saint Onge instantly turned to after closing down BOO.
Quoting an electronic mail despatched out by Youngevity to BOO distributors, TINA wrote in a September twelfth report;
After the chief crew of Black Oxygen Organics closed their doorways, they approached Youngevity by way of mutual contacts and questioned if there may be a possibility for us to help with their displaced Model Companions and Clients.
They expressed to Youngevity that they nonetheless have an , tight-knit neighborhood, and so they’d like to settle someplace the place they’ll proceed to take part in a compensation program. Youngevity has that.
Presumably Youngevity acquired the BOO distributor database from Saint Onge for an undisclosed sum.
Saint Onge might need additionally bought Youngevity distribution rights for BOO’s banned merchandise.
Accompanying Youngevity’s unsolicited electronic mail was a flyer for “Midnight Minerals”, Youngevity’s new fulvic acid product.
TINA reached out to Youngevity and requested if Midnight Minerals was BOO’s banned dietary supplements repackaged. Youngevity didn’t reply.
I had a glance into this myself. Youngevity don’t present nation of origin info for his or her Midnight Minerals masks.
The closest I used to be in a position to verify Midnight Minerals is sourced from Marc Saint Onge’s BOO industrial waste polluted bathroom, was a Youngevity company webinar from June.
CEO Steve Wallach featured on the webinar and, pitching Midnight Minerals, acknowledged:
[11:46] Fulvic acid and humic acid are plant acids as nicely. And so they’re often related to concentrated plant matter, like our Utah plant minerals.
Just like the fulvic minerals from Canada that this product is derived from. That comes from a peat bathroom in Canada.
All issues thought of, that’s just about affirmation that Youngevity is importing BlackOxygen Organics banned contaminated bathroom dust underneath a special identify.
The twist is, whereas Youngevity had beforehand launched Midnight Minerals as a pores and skin masks, explicitly stating it was “not meant for human ingestion”, Wallach was speaking a couple of new ingestible providing.
[12:05] This model new product just isn’t accessible but nevertheless it’s about to be. So it’s one thing we’ve been engaged on for some time now, and so it’s known as Midnight Minerals Fulvic Minutes.
And it is a consumable product that’s in capsule kind. So there’s mixing, there’s no taste … and so this product will probably be accessible in per week so.
As of mid September, Youngevity’s web site lists Midnight Minerals Fulvic Minutes as being in “pre-order until June 30, 2022”.
There aren’t any opinions left for the product, so I can solely assume that when you can add Fulvic Minutes to your cart, Youngevity hasn’t shipped it out but.
Whether or not that is associated to the FDA ban or not is unclear. Actually it’s odd that Fulvic Minutes aren’t accessible two and a half months after Wallach stated they’d be.
For shopper well being although, Youngevity not promoting “poison in a capsule” is a win.
However what in regards to the Midnight Minerals masks product?
That brings us again to TINA, who present proof former BOO distributors have continued to chow down Midnight Minerals, consumption warnings be damned;
Hell, you don’t even want to depart Youngevity’s web site to seek out an something however refined nod to former BOO bathroom munchers;
That’s from the evaluation part of Youngevity’s web site retailer entry for the Midnight Minerals pores and skin masks, dated April 2022.
To drive dwelling how harmful issues received with BOO earlier than authorities stepped in, we had distributors on social media ingesting the poison, shitting out their intestinal lining and posting images of dissected feces on social media.
And if that wasn’t horrifying sufficient, a few of the images have been alleged stool samples of their kids:
Now now we have Youngevity, peddling the identical contaminated bathroom dust the FDA banned importation of, to the identical batshit loopy buyer base – as a result of income.
On the very least there’s an FTC case to reply to right here, with respect to Youngevity’s conspiracy to focus on former BOO distributors, placing customers in danger and failing to reveal circumvention of an FDA ban on the importation of contaminated bathroom dust.
A Midnight Minerals Security and Use Report, supplied on Youngevity’s web site, notes the presence of arsenic, cadmium, mercury, lead.
The report pertains to “unintended ingestion” of Midnight Minerals dust. BOO distributors have been actually shovelling this shit down.
