Many executives have had the experience. They launch or join a young company that is growing quickly, but over time the momentum slows. That was the story at LifeVantage Corp., and its experience has made it a believer in the necessity to embrace change. Its first major change was relaunching as a direct selling company. And within the last year the company has taken numerous steps to re-energize its brand, product line and distributors.
LifeVantage launched in retail stores in 2003 with a single, innovative nutritional supplement, Protandim. The science behind the product is still compelling today. Its natural, indirect antioxidants actually signal the body’s genes to increase production of antioxidant enzymes that work together as the body’s first line of defense against free radicals. In 2005, ABC’s television news magazine Primetime featured an overwhelmingly positive segment on a human clinical study of Protandim. They reported the results of the study, which showed that the product decreases oxidative stress by more than 40 percent.
