"We are proud to be joining with the Youngevity family of quality nutritional and lifestyle brands," commented Patti Gardner, President of Heritage Makers. "It's our vision to empower women to reach their dreams and become financially free as they make a positive difference in the lives of others through sharing Heritage Makers products. This alliance with Youngevity should allow us to accelerate that vision and offer our consultants (distributors) the option to represent additional products that contribute to health, wellbeing and quality of life."

"We proudly welcome Heritage Makers to the Youngevity family and we anticipate an enthusiastic response as we provide our distributors and customers with more high quality product and service offerings," said Steve Wallach, Chief Executive Officer of Youngevity International.
