                             SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

To:     Vital Living, Inc.

        Suite 105
        Phoenix, AZ 85018-2147
        Attention: Bradley Edson, President

               1. AGREED SUBSCRIPTION; PURCHASE PRICE. The undersigned
(sometimes referred to as "Subscriber") hereby subscribes for such number of
units of the Company (consisting of (i) 70,000 shares of Common Stock; (ii)
70,000 Series B Common Stock Purchase Warrants; and (iii) 70,000 Series C Common
Stock Purchase Warrants, the "Units") noted on the Signature Page hereof
(minimum subscription one Unit) as described in the Confidential Private
Placement Memorandum dated October 23, 2002, and as supplemented by that certain
Supplement, dated November 8, 2002 (collectively, the "Memorandum") issued by
Vital Living, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "Company") at a price of $70,000
per Unit. The undersigned agrees to promptly tender payment of the full
subscription price of $70,000 per Unit.

               The undersigned agrees that this subscription is and shall be
irrevocable, but that it may be rejected, in whole or in part, by the Company,
and that the obligations of the undersigned hereunder will terminate if this
subscription is not accepted by the Company. The undersigned understands that
the Company will notify him if this subscription has been rejected for any
reason. If this subscription is rejected, the payment tendered by him will be
returned to him forthwith, without interest or deduction. If this subscription
is accepted by the Company, the amount of the payment tendered by him will be
applied in accordance with the description set forth in the Memorandum and
Section 4 hereof.

        2. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS OF SUBSCRIBER; ECONOMIC RISK; NO LIQUIDITY. The
undersigned understands and agrees that an investment in the Units is not a
liquid investment. In particular and in addition to the representations in
Section 3 hereof, the undersigned recognizes, acknowledges and agrees that:

               2.1 The undersigned must bear the economic risk of investment in
the Units for an indefinite period of time, since the Units have not been
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act")
or applicable state securities laws ("State Acts"), and, therefore, cannot be
transferred or sold unless either they are subsequently registered under the
Securities Act and applicable State Acts, or an exemption from registration is
available and a favorable opinion of counsel to that effect is obtained.

               2.2 No market currently exists for any of the Company's
securities other than its Common Stock and no market for the Units, the Series B
Warrants or the Series C Warrants is expected to develop in the foreseeable
future. The undersigned understands and agrees that it shall have such
registration rights as are described in the registration rights agreement
included as an exhibit to the Memorandum.

        3. COMPANY REPRESENTATIONS. In connection with the agreement to purchase
Units by Subscriber herein, the Company hereby represents and warrants as
follows:

               3.1 The Company is a corporation duly organized and validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Nevada and has all
the requisite power and authority to conduct its business and own and operate
its properties, and to enter into and execute this Agreement and to carry out
the transactions contemplated hereby.

<PAGE>
               3.2 The Company has the power to execute, deliver and perform the
terms and provisions of this Agreement and has taken all necessary action to
authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Subscription
Agreement, and to authorize the issuance and sale of the Units (consisting of
the Shares) contemplated by this Agreement, and the representatives of the
Company executing this Subscription and Purchase Agreement are duly authorized
to do so.

               3.3 Assuming the due execution and delivery of this Agreement by
the Subscriber, this Agreement is a legal, valid and binding obligation of the
Company enforceable in accordance with its terms except (a) as its obligations
may be affected by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar
laws, or by equitable principles relating to or limiting creditors' rights
generally and (b) that the remedies of specific performance, injunction and
other forms of equitable relief are subject to certain tests of equity
jurisdiction, equitable defenses and the discretion of the court before which
any proceeding therefor may be brought.

               3.4 The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and
the fulfillment of or compliance with the terms and provisions hereof, including
the issuance and sale of the Units (consisting of shares of the Shares and the
Warrants) contemplated by this Agreement, are not in contravention of or in
conflict with any applicable laws or any contract to which the Company is a
party or by which the Company or any of its properties may be bound or affected.

each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into
shares of the Company's Common Stock, at a rate of one share of Common Stock for
each share of Series A Preferred Stock . In addition, for every five shares of
Series A Preferred Stock converted to Common Stock, the Company will issue to
such holder one warrant (the "Series A Warrants"). All Series A Warrants are
exercisable after 1 year from their date of grant at a price of $2.00 per share.
The Company has also authorized the issuance of (i) 4,500,000 shares of Common
Stock under the Company's two stock option plans, and (ii) 5,012,400 shares of

reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, and the Company has maintained all
requirements for the continued listing or quotation of its Common Stock, and
such Common Stock is currently listed or quoted on the Principal Market. As of
the date hereof, the principal market is the over-the-counter Bulletin Board.

               3.7 The Company has delivered or made available to the Subscriber
true and complete copies of its Annual; Report on Form 10-k for the Fiscal Year

Subscriber any information that, according to applicable law, rule or
regulation, should have been disclosed publicly prior to the date hereof by the
Company, but which has not been so disclosed. As of their respective dates, the
SEC Documents complied as to form and substance in all material respects with
the requirements of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, as the case may be,
and other federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations applicable to
such SEC Documents, and none of the SEC Documents contained any untrue statement
of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The financial
statements of the Company included in the SEC Documents comply as to form and
substance in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and
the published rules and regulations of the SEC or other applicable rules and
regulations with respect thereto. Such financial statements have been prepared

material, individually or in the aggregate, other than those contemplated to be

adverse effect on the Company.

               3.10 Since June 30, 2002, no event or circumstance has occurred

under which they were made, not misleading.

               3.14 The Company is not in possession of, nor has the Company or
its agents disclosed to the Subscriber, any material non-public information that
