  • openFDA Food Enforcement Report-date coverage June 20, 2012–July 08, 2026 Known gap: openFDA describes 2004-present coverage, but the current export has no report-date records in this interval.

Enforcement coverage uses report dates; product initiation dates can precede those bounds. Device-enrichment coverage uses FDA event_date_initiated.

Distribution pattern

Sale of products through a network of independent distributors, preferred customers and end consumers in the United States, Japan, Australia and Mexico. Sales also directly to end consumers for personal consumption in Canada. Independent distributors consume the product themselves and in some cases sell the product or provide the product gratis to those potentially interested in LifeVantage. Preferred customers purchase the products on a monthly, auto-ship basis directly from Life Vantage. Other end consumers purchase directly from LifeVantage via the website and are assigned to a distributor.
