San Diego, California A (PRWEB) March 15, 2008 -- International Health and Nutritional Products Company Youngevity® is proud to announce the exciting addition of athletic superstars Gene Nelson and Fred Glass to their Athletic Advisory Board. Both bodybuilders have been working with and supporting the Youngevity® line of products for numerous years, and depend on the cutting-edge science behind them to sustain high performance levels and promote optimal health and well-being.

The Athletic Advisory Board is comprised of individuals such as former NBA basketball player Mike Glenn and NBA All-Star Theo Ratliff. The board members dedicate their research to the relationship between proper, balanced nutrition and the performance of athletes. All of the members, including Gene Nelson and Fred Glass, have first-hand knowledge and experience in this area.

Gene Nelson began bodybuilding over 15 years ago as a hobby, and is today known as the "Greatest Natural Bodybuilder in the World." In 2005, he placed second in one of the toughest Natural Bodybuilding contests in the world, The Musclemania World Championships. After committing to never using steroids, Gene became a Youngevity® endorsed athlete and now attributes much of his success to his consumption of the Youngevity® line of products.

Fred Glass has been lifting and competing for 45 years, and in 2007, competed in the APEC World Powerlifting Championship in Chicago at age 70, where he set four more records in addition to his previous 42. Currently, he is 15-time and current world champion, with a best competition squat of 415 pounds on December 8, 2007. Glass stated that he believed his lifting career would have been over eight years ago without the help of his daily regimen of Youngevity® products.
