For optimal health we need:

  • 60 Minerals
  • 16 Vitamins
  • 12 Amino Acids
  • 2-3 Essential Fatty Acids

You must give your body all the raw materials it requires to maintain and rebuild itself.  Raw materials are so vital to your health, but can be very hard to find.  Centuries of mining, farming, irrigation, and acid rain have eroded life-giving minerals from our soil.  These mineral-deficient soils are then used to grow and cultivate our food.  Because of this, our food is lacking in essential minerals.  In fact, Dr. Wallach has stated, “One sentence has killed more people than all the wars in American history…You get all the nutrition you need from the four food groups.”

“The only way you can heal your body is to give it the 90 Essential Nutrients daily that it needs to rebuild and maintain itself over time.”

Dr. Joel Wallach, BS, DVM, ND

The concept of the 90 essential nutrients was developed by Dr. Joel Wallach, founder of Youngevity Essential Life Sciences. A pioneer in biomedical research, Dr. Wallach spent nearly 20 years in the field of Veterinary Medicine, observing and researching the effects of individual nutrients on animal health, before becoming a Naturopathic Physician in 1982. Today he is renowned for his ground-breaking research on the health benefits of Selenium and other minerals. He is the recipient of the prestigious 2011 Klaus Schwarz Commemorative Medal, which recognizes the work of pioneers in the field of trace element research.

First Amendment Advocate

Dr. Wallach currently dedicates his time to lecturing throughout the world on the therapeutic benefits of vitamins and minerals, and on lobbying the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on behalf of the dietary supplement industry. His tireless efforts and dedication to the public’s First Amendment rights to complete information on the therapeutic benefits of nutrition prompted the FDA to establish Qualified Health Claims for Selenium (“may reduce the risk of certain cancers”) and Omega 3 Essential Fatty Acids (“may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease”). Only a few Qualified Health Claims exist, placing Youngevity Essential Life Sciences in a unique position among Dietary Supplement and Direct Marketing Companies.
