Life Activated Brands operates in the nutritional supplement, weight loss and CBD MLM niches.

Life Activated Brands don’t provide a corporate address on their website. Company documents however list an address in Melissa, Texas.

This address belongs to LaCore Enterprises.

LaCore Enterprises  is owned and operated by Terry LaCore (right).

Over the past few years LaCore has launched a stable of companies through LaCore Enterprises.

In a potential violation of the FTC Act, LaCore Enterprises ownership is never disclosed on these company websites.

LaCore himself never fronts LaCore Enterprises MLM companies.

In the case of Life Activated Brands, it’s headed up by “co-founders” Jessica Hayes and Kimberly Coleman.

Jessica’s husband, Brandon Hayes, serves as Life Activated Brands’ CEO and President.

The Hayes’ brand themselves as the “Freedom Couple” on social media.

Prior to launching Life Activated Brands in 2019, the Hayes made a name for themselves in Zija.

Zija was acquired by Isagenix in 2019. Rather than continue on with Isagenix, the Hayes’ went on to launch their own company.

Interestingly enough Life Activated Brands was incorporated in 2018. This suggests planning behind the company started before Isagenix’s Zija acquisition.

Kimberly Coleman’s Life Activated bio credits her with “8 successful years in Network Marketing”.

I wasn’t able to independently verify this. In fact I couldn’t find anything on Coleman, which I’m flagging as odd.

PV stands for “Personal Volume”. PV is sales volume generated by retail sales and an affiliate’s own orders.

GV stands for “Group Volume”. GV is PV generated by an affiliate and their downline.

Although not explicitly clarified, I believe in order to count towards rank qualification, retail customers must be placing at least one order a month.

Retail Commissions

Life Activated Brands affiliates earn commissions on the sale of products to retail customers.

Retail commissions are calculated as the difference between the wholesale and retail price of products ordered.

Enroller and Sponsor Bonuses

The Enroller Bonus doubles as both a retail and recruitment bonus.

The Enroller Bonus pays 25% on sales volume generated by a referred retail customer or recruited affiliate’s first order.

The Sponsor Bonus pays an additional 15% on these first orders to the first upline (the affiliate who recruited the affiliate qualifying for the Enroller Bonus).

Residual Commissions

Life Activated Brands pays residual commissions via a binary compensation structure.

A binary compensation structure places an affiliate at the top of a binary team, split into two sides (left and right):

The first level of the binary team houses two positions. The second level of the binary team is generated by splitting these first two positions into another two positions each (4 positions).

Subsequent levels of the binary team are generated as required, with each new level housing twice as many positions as the previous level.

Positions in the binary team are filled via direct and indirect recruitment of affiliates. Note there is no limit to how deep a binary team can grow.

At the end of each month Life Activated Brands tallies up new sales volume on both sides of the binary team.

A 10% residual commission is paid out on sales volume generated on the weaker binary team side.

  • Ambassador 500s can earn up to $200 a month in residual commissions
  • Ambassador 1Ks can earn up to $400 a month in residual commissions
  • Ambassador 2Ks can earn up to $600 a month in residual commissions

  • Legend 400Ks can earn up to $50,000 a month in residual commissions
  • Legend 500Ks can earn up to $60,000 a month in residual commissions

Once paid out on, volume is matched against the stronger binary team side and flushed.

Any leftover volume on the stronger binary team side carries over into the following month.

Check Match

Life Activated Brands affiliates earn a Check Match on residual commissions earned by recruited affiliates.

The Check Match is paid out down two levels of recruitment. How much an affiliate earns is based on rank:

  • Ambassador 8Ks earn a 15% match on level 1
  • Ambassador 10Ks earn a 20% match on level 1

Life Activated Brands Conclusion

My initial reaction to Life Activated Brands was that it was another “me-too” CBD opp. Granted it was a bit more fleshed out than a standalone CBD opp, it still had that air of “let’s see what sticks” to it.

When I learned Life Activated Brands launched back in 2019, I cut them a bit of slack.

While MLM CBD launched are definitely a cliche in 2022, they weren’t as much so three years ago.

That said I feel Life Activated Brands’ products are more the result of “we can make this”, as opposed to there being any genuine marketing hook.

LaCore Enterprises is backed by LaCore Labs, an inhouse supplement manufacturer. Quality wise Life Activated Brands’ products might be top notch – but compared to the wider market?

You’ve essentially got a morinda supplement, weight loss aids (built around a laxative tea) and CBD oils.

Moringa powder and laxative tea are readily available for far less than Life Activated Brands are charging.  And I didn’t deep-dive to see what’s out there, this is a quick Amazon search.

CBD oils are of course available everywhere too, leaving Life Activated Brands’ offering lacking. I don’t see the reason to buy from them outside of the MLM opportunity.

This isn’t unique to Life Activated Brands either, it’s a common issue across LaCore Enterprise’s companies.

Thankfully Life Activated Brands avoids the other common issue, faceless corporation syndrome. You know who’s running Life Activated Brands and can look them up (still not sure what’s up with Kimberly Coleman’s history though).

Moving onto the compensation plan, it’s straight-forward enough but ranking could be streamlined a bit.

I’m not a fan of micro steps and Life Activated Brands really push this with their twenty-nine ranks.

The main reason for this appears to be capping of monthly residual commissions. I don’t see why it has to be so incremental.

Practically affiliates are going to rank up as they increase volume anyway, so they’re unlikely to notice it – but I felt it added unnecessary complication.

Particularly in the mid ranks. Qualification increases by 5000 GV but corresponds to a measly $500 a month commission increase. That seems pretty lopsided.

The good news is, and I have to give LaCore Enterprises credit here as they’re consistent, retail is a focus of the business.

Life Activated Brands’ compensation plan has retail customer requirements, however I feel retail volume could be a bit better clarified.

As I understand it you just need to generate retail customer orders, how much they order doesn’t matter.

What we can do though is use these requirements to ascertain whether our potential upline are focused on retail.

Everyone is Life Activated Brands is required to generate 70 PV or more each month. A self-purchase (autoship) order is OK. What you want to see though is matching retail volume.

Ideally retail volume would exceed volume generated by the affiliate’s own order. Remember having an order isn’t required, so it’s possible the upline might be generating 100% of required PV through retail sales (this would be great to see!).

Unfortunately Life Activated Brands’ retail viability brings us back to the product offering.

Definitely shop around before you commit to anything. And perhaps even pose that as a question to a Life Activated Brands affiliate.

Feel free to let us know how it goes in the comments below. Good luck!
