For over four decades, Dr. Joel Wallach has been at the forefront of nutritional science, dedicating his life to uncovering how essential nutrients impact human health. His pioneering research laid the groundwork for Youngevity’s supplement line, empowering individuals around the world to take control of their well-being through informed, science-backed choices.
Here’s how Dr. Wallach’s expertise continues to shape Youngevity—and why his legacy makes all the difference.
1. The Discovery of the 90 Essential Nutrients
Dr. Wallach identified a core group of 90 Essential Nutrients—a combination of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and essential fatty acids—required for the body to function at its best. His groundbreaking research showed that deficiencies in even one of these nutrients can lead to serious health issues.
Youngevity products are formulated to deliver these nutrients in optimal ratios, helping your body perform, repair, and thrive.
2. A Career Rooted in Animal and Human Health
Dr. Wallach began in veterinary medicine, studying how nutritional deficiencies caused chronic conditions in animals. What he discovered was revolutionary: many health problems could be prevented—or reversed—through proper nutrition. He later applied these same principles to human health, creating the foundation for Youngevity’s targeted supplement formulations.
3. Championing the Importance of Minerals
Long before it became mainstream, Dr. Wallach was sounding the alarm on mineral deficiencies caused by soil depletion. He uncovered how modern farming practices have stripped essential minerals from our food supply, leading to widespread nutritional gaps.
His solution? Youngevity’s Plant-Derived Minerals™, a flagship product developed to restore these critical nutrients to the human diet.
4. Nutrition as a Path to Chronic Disease Prevention
Dr. Wallach’s philosophy is simple: don’t just treat symptoms—address the root cause. His research shows that many chronic diseases, including osteoporosis, diabetes, and heart disease, stem from nutritional deficiencies.
That’s why Youngevity supplements like Beyond Osteo-FX™ and Ultimate Daily Classic™ are formulated with a preventive mindset, supporting long-term health instead of short-term fixes.
5. Promoting Longevity and Whole-Body Wellness
Dr. Wallach’s mission extends beyond disease prevention. His studies into the world’s longest-living populations revealed that balanced nutrition is key to healthy aging and vitality.
Youngevity products are designed to support holistic health at every stage of life, from energy and immunity to bone strength and brain function.
6. Science-Backed Formulations with a Focus on Quality
Decades of research taught Dr. Wallach that quality is non-negotiable. Youngevity supplements are crafted using high-quality ingredients, scientific research, and rigorous testing. Each product is designed for maximum bioavailability, ensuring your body absorbs and benefits from every dose.
7. Education That Empowers
Beyond the lab, Dr. Wallach has spent his life educating and inspiring others. Through books, radio shows, lectures, and seminars, he’s helped people take ownership of their health and make smarter nutritional decisions.
Youngevity continues this mission—combining trusted products with ongoing education to help you live your healthiest life.
