Lovvare operates within the dietary complement MLM area of interest. The corporate offers an Delaware company deal with on its web site.
Lovvare’s Delaware deal with is utilized by a number of companies, suggesting it belongs to a shell firm agent.
This ties into Lovvare Inc., a Delaware shell firm integrated by means of United Company Companies, Inc. in August 2022.
A Utah “warehouse deal with” additionally supplied Lovvare’s web site belongs to ShipCentral, a achievement companies firm.
Heading up Lovvare, at the very least formally, is CEO John Altshuler (proper).
Previous to Lovvare, which seems to have been arrange in or round July 2022, Altshuler was BlackOxygen Organics’ Grasp Distributor:
In September 2020, Altshuler together with accomplice Brian Smith certified at CEO.
CEO was the fifth-highest rank in BlackOxygen Organics’ compensation plan.
Altshuler was pretty lively in BlackOxygen Organics. After it was shut down in November 2021 nonetheless, Altshuler appears to have gone to some effort to delete any public affiliation.
Altshuler’s Lovvare company bio credit him as a “Grasp Distributor taking an organization from $0 to 4 million a month in 2+ years”, however BlackOxygen Organics isn’t talked about.
All movies from Altshuler’s BlackOxygen Organics Grasp Distributor YouTube channel have additionally been deleted.
Outdoors of BlackOxygen Organics, Altshuler made a reputation for himself in Excel Communications and Amega World.
Excel Communications was a wi-fi MLM firm that went bankrupt in 2004
Amega World marketed $298 magic crystal wands and collapsed in August 2011.
Though he’s not credited as an government, BlackOxygen proprietor and CEO Marc Saint-Onge does make an look as formulator of Lovvare’s fulvic acid dietary supplements.
I’ve carried out a bit extra analysis into this and am assured that Saint-Onge truly owns and operates Lovvare.
That is immensely problematic for a number of causes, which we’ll get into within the conclusion of this evaluation.

Lovvare Conclusion
Upon studying of Lovvare promoting Marc Saint-Onge’s bathroom merchandise, I instantly assumed he was operating the corporate.
The issue was proving it.
The very first thing I seen was, previous to April 2023 or so, Lovvare’s authentic compensation plan was intently aligned to BlackOxygen Organics’:
The subsequent factor I seen was an Ontario, Canada deal with on one in every of Lovvare’s merchandise:
I felt I used to be getting nearer however this nonetheless wasn’t fairly sufficient. We already knew a few of Lovvare’s merchandise had been coming from Saint-Onge in Canada. Possibly that was the intention of the label.
Then I discovered the identical deal with being utilized by Lovvare on their web site:
Jackpot.
This deal with belongs to Saint-Onge and he’s used it previously for enterprise ventures (see proper).
To summarize, we now have Lovvare as an organization utilizing one in every of Marc Saint-Onge’s enterprise addresses in Ontario, Canada.
I don’t know the particular association John Altshuler and Saint-Onge have. For reference although, Saint-Onge ran BlackOxygen Organics with accomplice Emilio Carl Garibaldi by means of the shell corporations “11578243 Canada Inc.” and “11203452 Canada Integrated”.
What does appear clear although is that Lovvare is a reboot of BlackOxygen Organics nonetheless below the management of Saint-Onge.
Why does this matter?
As a result of BlackOxygen Organics shutting down in 2021 was a catastrophe.
BlackOxygen Organics caught traction within the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. At its peak, BlackOxygen Organics distributors had been operating across the web pitching Saint-Onge’s mud as a cure-all for all the pieces.
And this was pushed top-down from BlackOxygen Organics company:
That is who Marc Saint-Onge is. And, as BlackOxygen Organics’ Grasp Distributor, it’s additionally who John Altshuler is.
I wish to make it clear that, throughout the context of BlackOxygen Organics, it’s not Saint-Onge’s and Altshuler’s political views that’s the issue.
The issue is making fully unsubstantiated medical claims to market Saint-Onge’s merchandise is prohibited.
However the deplorable ethics of preying on customers with absolute nonsense throughout a world pandemic.
Then there was the fulvic acid itself. BlackOxygen Organics’ bathroom mud was sourced from Moose Creek bathroom, on which Saint-Onge holds 25 12 months extraction rights.
Lovvare doesn’t specify which Canadian bathroom their fulvic acid merchandise are sourced from:
The place is Humic Necessities+ sourced from?
From Canada with a proprietary mix formulated for Lovvare with an accompanying COA.
It’s a protected wager that is Moose Creek bathroom – which issues as a result of Moose Creek Bathroom sits down the highway from a hazardous stable waste landfill and processing facility.
And this brings us to why BlackOxygen Organics shut down in 2021.
In August 2021 the FDA sampled BlackOxygen Organics’ Fulvic Care Powder on the Canadian border. The FDA’s testing revealed “elevated ranges of lead and arsenic”.
This resulted within the FDA issuing an import ban on BlackOxygen Natural’s Fulvic Care Powder. Distributed Fulvic Care Powder was purported to be topic to a recall.
Saint-Onge didn’t subject the recall and ignored the ban. BlackOxygen Organics illegally shipped Fulvic Care Powder to US residents after September 14th.
BlackOxygen Organics tried to maintain the FDA’s actions a secret, going as far as to terminate distributors who mentioned it.
Well being Canada additionally issued a recall on BlackOxygen Organics’ merchandise in September 2021.
BlackOxygen Organics is recalling all numerous these merchandise as a result of potential well being dangers which can be greater for kids, adolescents, and pregnant or breastfeeding girls.
The merchandise are being promoted in methods and for makes use of that haven’t been evaluated and approved by Well being Canada.
Cease taking these merchandise. Don’t administer the merchandise to youngsters or adolescents.
In October 2021 BlackOxygen Organics threatened authorized motion in opposition to YouTuber Savannah Marie. Marie, amongst different issues, had been discussing suspected well being hazards tied to BlackOxygen Organics’ merchandise.
On November nineteenth, a civil class-action was filed, alleging BlackOxygen Organics’ merchandise “include unsafe ranges of poisonous heavy metals that render them unsafe and unfit for his or her supposed use.”
As of July 2023, the class-action litigation continues to be taking part in out.
In November 2021 the FDA contacted Saint-Onge over failure to adjust to the ordered recall and import ban.
Saint-Onge’s response was to close BlackOxygen Organics down on November twenty third.
The announcement was abrupt and, a month earlier than Christmas, screwed over distributors financially.
Saint-Onge failed to tell customers concerning the well being hazard he’d created and disappeared.
A defamation lawsuit, filed after the very fact, revealed Saint-Onge refused to subject the ordered recall as a result of no one had but died.
It was in opposition to that horrific backdrop that the FDA lastly went public on December 4th, 2021.
In mid 2022 it emerged Youngevity was doubtless promoting Saint-Onge’s poisonous bathroom filth – however solely as a face masks.
We haven’t seen Saint-Onge promoting consumable poisonous bathroom filth till Lovvare’s Humic Necessities+.
Whereas he hasn’t publicly addressed BlackOxygen Organics promoting contaminated dietary supplements, Saint-Onge did briefly talk about lead and arsenic in a personal Lovvare launch webinar (courtesy of Mombie);
[25:44] Nicely, what we’re doing now could be we’re doing a little evaluation on the content material of the fulvic and humic and we guarantee that, y’know, there’s normal ranges of all of the minerals.
There’s good minerals and unhealthy minerals. There’s hint minerals, macro components, ion, nano, there are all type of them. And there’s even some inorganic materials within the product.
We wish to keep a excessive normal so we keep the truth that we do have CoAs. And now we’re wanting on the evolution of how fulvic and humic works.
There’s natural and inorganic arsenic. There’s lead after which there’s sure ranges. You possibly can’t shrink back from that as a result of it’s earth.
These components are in all pure merchandise and it’s simply to have the ability to handle it to create a dosage that truly has the usual ranges and the decrease ranges. And that’s what we’re capable of do now.
“CoA” stands for certificates of authenticity. It’s famous that at time of publication no CoA for Humic Necessities is supplied on Lovvare’s web site.
Moreover, Lovvare advises;
THIS ORDER WILL BE SHIPPED WITHIN 30 DAYS OF THE ORDER DATE, PROJECTED TO BE TO LATE JULY AND IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE – PROCESSING THIS ORDER IS AN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF DELAYED SHIPPING.
Whether or not these delays are associated to Humic Important’s lacking CoA’s or regulatory considerations is unclear.
I don’t normally go this tough on somebody personally however, for my part based mostly on his previous conduct, Marc Saint-Onge has licensed himself as a deceitful public well being menace.
The FDA import ban and Canada Well being recall was nowhere close to sufficient. And after laying low for half a 12 months, Saint-Onge launched Lovvare – with the final word purpose of resuming sale of doubtless contaminated dietary supplements to US and Canadian customers.
That, and that alone, is cause sufficient to keep away from Lovvare and Saint-Onge’s bathroom mud merchandise.
For completeness, it’s famous that Lovvare doesn’t have any retail quantity qualifiers in its compensation plan.
Distributors are incentivized to self-fund fee qualification, by the use of Lovvare penalizing retail quantity with a 100% penalty (40 PV private ordervs. 80 PV mixed retail orders).
This lends itself to Lovvare working as an autoship recruitment scheme, doubtless stuffed with the identical lunatic promoters BlackOxygen Organics attracted.
From a private well being perspective, even should you mistakenly consider fulvic acid is a miracle remedy, it’s not price exposing your self to guide, arsenic and who is aware of what else.
From an MLM firm perspective, ready for the FDA, Well being Canada and even the FTC to maneuver in once more isn’t the muse of a long-term enterprise.
