Youngevity Debuts FitShake(TM)

Initial Performance Line Product Focuses on Muscular and Connective Tissue Health


SAN DIEGO, CA--(Marketwired - Apr 25, 2017) - Youngevity International, Inc. (OTCQX: YGYI), a leading omni-direct lifestyle company, is debuting its new ultra-innovative FitShake™. The introduction of the Youngevity FitShake marks the launch of the Company's first ever athletic and performance protein based product -- addressing the specific areas of the musculoskeletal system that begin to deteriorate with activity. In addition to input from various sports specialists and trainers, FitShake was developed with New York Times best-selling author, Jordan Rubin, a pioneer in whole food nutrition and founder of Garden Of Life and Beyond Organic.

Youngevity's rich Banana Cream-flavored FitShake powder is a proprietary blend of proteins to support muscular and collagen development and growth. The FitShake offers a blend of proteins and specialized nutrients intended to directly support the repair and recovery of the most vulnerable areas of the body -- the elements of the joints -- ligaments, tendons, and cartilage. Its formulation allows for complete versatility of use, as a post workout or recovery drink or a health meal replacement.

"Our FitShake is the Company's first product within our Performance line of nutritional products," stated Steve Wallach, CEO and Co-Founder of Youngevity. "This new Performance product line addresses exercise performance-based nutritional needs, supporting athletes and weekend warriors alike with nutritional benefits tailored to their pursuit of fitness."

"This product represents a great example of our continual dedication to product evolution," stated Dave Briskie, President and CFO of Youngevity. "We are in a perpetual 'innovation' and 'expansion' mode -- for our products and our Company. Whether it's introducing our first Performance line products or other product introductions or refinements, you'd be hard pressed to find Youngevity standing still."
