What is ViOS Life?
ViOS Life is a new nutritional supplement manufacturer that uses an MLM marketing structure to sell organic, plant-based products. The company claims to have over $720,000 in sales in its first 9 months of operation, along with steady sales growth in all 50 states. They also recently expanded into Canada.
The company was co-founded by Joseph Land and Brock Agee. It’s based in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. They introduced their first supplement in April 2016.
Today, Vios Nutrition is best known for Phyte, a green superfood-type supplement. They also sell Matrix, a meal replacement protein shake formula.
How does ViOS Life plan to differentiate itself in a crowded nutritional supplement market? The company claims to use exclusively organic ingredients. The supplements are also all gluten-free and contain no GMOs. They also arrive in convenient, single-serve packets. The formulas are vegan-friendly and contain no synthetic ingredients.
With that in mind, let’s take a closer look at what Vios Nutrition is selling.
ViOS Life Products
ViOS Life currently sells two core products, including Phyte and Matrix. Here’s a brief overview of each product:
Phyte
Phyte is marketed as a “whole food greens” supplement. It contains cereal grasses along with a blend of vitamins, minerals, and proteins that promote overall good health.
One of the key ingredients in Phyte is the proprietary green blend that contains ingredients like chlorophyll, which is vital for synthesizing and boosting the function of healthy, oxygen-rich blood. It can also be used to boost stamina and endurance.
Phyte blends chlorophyll with well-known cereal grasses like spirulina and chlorella. The supplement also contains enzymes, fiber, and other greens. It promises to boost your overall health and wellness while also supporting your body’s natural pH balance.
Other Phyte ingredients include organic barley grass powder, organic wheat grass powder, organic alfalfa leaf powder, sprouted barley powder, nettle leaf powder, brown rice bran, beet juice powder, and licorice root. The formula is vegan-friendly, gluten-free, and non-GMO.
Overall, Vios Nutrition claims Phyte is “a powerful and unique combination of greens with tremendous health benefits”.
In case you missed it, green superfood supplements are increasingly popular these days because they’re packed with phytonutrients – which are essentially just nutrients that come from plants. They’re also rich with vitamins and minerals.
To take Phyte, you tear open a packet and mix it with water. Vios Nutrition claims it’s the best way to start your day – although it can also be taking for a rejuvenating afternoon boost.
Matrix
Matrix, like Phyte, emphasizes plant-based ingredients. It’s an organic meal replacement shake that contains 21g of protein per serving along with complex carbs, omega fatty acids, natural vitamins, minerals, trace minerals, BCAAs, and fiber.
Unlike most proteins on the market, Matrix is whey-free. It also contains no added salt, fillers, or preservatives. There’s just one gram of sugar in each serving, and the formula is dairy-free, gluten-free, non-GMO, and certified USDA organic.
Vios Nutrition advertises Matrix as a valuable weight loss aid. There’s only 140 calories in each serving, which makes it a great complement for your weight loss needs.
Another key feature of Matrix is that it’s rich with probiotic bacteria – the beneficial gut bacteria that play a crucial role in your digestion and your immune system. Vios Nutrition’s Matrix contains 50 billion probiotic bacteria (CFUs) in each serving.
Finally, Matrix also contains ingredients called adaptogens, which are thought to reduce your risk of disease and illness. Key adaptogens in the Matrix formula include ashwagandha, maca, and schizandra. Ashwagandha is an Ayurvedic (ancient Indian) herb thought to be linked to powerful health benefits.
The formula comes in a Smooth Creamy Vanilla flavor. It’s USDA certified organic and uses 100% plant-based protein sources.

Should You Buy ViOS Life?
Many MLMs claim to offer organic supplements with natural ingredients. Few, however, seem to take the time to reach USDA-certified organic status. Vios Nutrition sells USDA certified organic supplements like Phyte and Matrix that promise to give your body the plant-based nutrition it needs to stay healthy.
The supplements also arrive in convenient, single-serve packets. You tear open the packet, mix it with a liquid of your choice, then drink it.
Whole foods and plant-based nutrition are skyrocketing in popularity in the world of nutrition. Vios Nutrition appears to offer healthy, well-formulated products made with more transparency than we typically see with a direct selling company.
