network marketing professional and has surrounded himself with a team of industry leaders and veterans.
They all believe in the benefits and entrepreneurial spirit of network marketing and will be a valuable asset to
our team. We are excited about integrating the Escape product lines into our own with the introduction of
Fucoidan-based products, filling a niche we don't have in our existing line. The Escape philosophy and
business culture is one which will particularly complement our existing product lines and income
opportunity."

their energy to the growth of the Escape and Youngevity® communities. David stated, "We are excited to be
joining the Youngevity® family of companies. We believe their Scientific Advisory Board and product
