Blyth, Inc. is a Greenwich, Connecticut based marketing and manufacturing company that sells personal and decorative products.

[7] In 2008 Blyth began a multi-stage takeover of ViSalus, a multi-level marketing company which sells nutritional supplements and energy drinks.

[12] By August 2012 Blyth owned a 73% share of Visalus and planned a spin off of the company in an initial public offering.

[14][15] In September 2014, ViSalus' founders and select stockholders arranged to buy back control of the company from Blyth.

At the time of the transaction, ViSalus' earnings and revenue had declined from a high-point in 2012, and the company had been operating at a loss for 2013 and the first two quarters of 2014.
