                  SERIES D REDEEMABLE WARRANT FOR THE PURCHASE
                                       OF
                 100,000 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK, PAR VALUE $.001

                                                           ________________ 2003

         THIS CERTIFIES that, for value received, [  ] together with all
permitted assigns, the "Holder") is entitled to subscribe for, and purchase
from, VITAL LIVING, INC., a Nevada corporation (the "Company"), upon the terms
and conditions set forth herein, at any time or from time to time during the
period commencing on the date immediately following the date first set forth
above (the "Initial Exercise Date") and terminating at 5:00 p.m., April __,
2007, New York City local time, on the fifth anniversary of the Initial Closing
Date (as such term is defined in the Confidential Private Placement Memorandum)
(the "Exercise Period"), 100,000 shares of Common Stock, exercisable at an
exercise price per share equal to $1.30 (the "Series D Warrant Price"));
provided, however, that upon the occurrence of any of the events specified in
Section 5 hereof, the rights granted by this Warrant, including the number of
shares of Common Stock to be received upon such exercise, shall be adjusted as
therein specified. The public resale of the Series D Warrant Shares is subject
of a registration statement to be filed by the Company after the Closing Dated
(the "Resale Registration Statement"), as more fully described in the

                                       1

<PAGE>

Memorandum and the exhibits thereto, as well as Rule 144 (or any other
applicable rule of the Securities and Exchange Commission) governing the resale
of the Series D Warrant Shares.

         Each share of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise hereof shall be
hereinafter referred to as a "Warrant Share."

         SECTION  1        EXERCISE OF WARRANT.

                           This Warrant may be exercised during the Exercise
Period, either in whole or in part, by notice given by facsimile or email,
followed by the (i) the payment of the exercise price, which may be effected by
wire transfer or bank cashier's check payable to the order of the Company in an
amount equal to the product of the Series D Warrant Exercise Price and the
number of Series D Warrant Shares for which this Series D Warrant is being
exercised and (ii) the manual surrender of this Warrant (with the election at
the end hereof duly executed), to the Company at its office at 5080 N. 40th
Street, Suite 105, Phoenix, Arizona 85018-2147, or at such other place as is
designated in writing by the Company, together with a certified.

         SECTION 2         RIGHTS UPON EXERCISE; DELIVERY OF SECURITIES.

         Upon each exercise of the Holder's rights to purchase Series D Warrant
Shares, the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the Series D
Warrant Shares, notwithstanding that the transfer books of the Company shall
then be closed or certificates representing the Series D Warrant Shares with
respect to which this Warrant was exercised shall not then have been actually
delivered to the Holder. As soon as practicable after each such exercise of this
Warrant, but in no event later than 5 Business Days after the exercise of this
Warrant, the Company shall issue and deliver to the Holder a certificate or
certificates representing the Series D Warrant Shares issuable upon such
exercise, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee. For purposes of
this agreement, term Business Day shall mean any day that banks are open in New
York City. If this Warrant should be exercised in part only, the Company shall,
upon surrender of this Warrant for cancellation, execute and deliver a Warrant
evidencing the right of the Holder to purchase the balance of the aggregate
number of Series D Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder as to which this Warrant
has not been exercised or assigned.

         SECTION 3         REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE.

         Any Warrants issued upon the transfer or exercise in part of this
Warrant shall be numbered and shall be registered in a warrant register (the
"Warrant Register") as they are issued. The Company shall be entitled to treat
the registered holder of any Warrant on the Warrant Register as the owner in
fact thereof for all purposes, and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable
or other claim to, or interest in, such Warrant on the part of any other person,
and shall not be liable for any registration or transfer of Warrants which are
registered or to be registered in the name of a fiduciary or the nominee of a
fiduciary unless made with the actual knowledge that a fiduciary or nominee is
committing a breach of trust in requesting such

                                       2

<PAGE>

registration of transfer, or with the knowledge of such facts that its
participation therein amounts to bad faith. This Warrant shall be transferable
on the books of the Company only upon delivery thereof duly endorsed by the
Holder or by his duly authorized attorney or representative, or accompanied by
proper evidence of succession, assignment, or authority to transfer. In all
cases of transfer by an attorney, executor, administrator, guardian, or other
legal representative, duly authenticated evidence of his, her, or its authority
shall be produced. Upon any registration of transfer, the Company shall deliver
a new Warrant or Warrants to the person entitled thereto. This Warrant may be
exchanged, at the option of the Holder thereof, for another Warrant, or other
Warrants of different denominations, of like tenor and representing in the
aggregate the right to purchase a like number of Series D Warrant Shares (or
portions thereof), upon surrender to the Company or its duly authorized agent.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have no obligation to cause
Warrants to be transferred on its books to any person if, in the opinion of
counsel to the Company, such transfer does not comply with the provisions of the
Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder.

         SECTION 4         RESERVATION OF SHARES.

         The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its
authorized and unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of providing for
the exercise of this Warrant, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall,
from time to time, be sufficient therefor. The Company represents that all
shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are duly
authorized and, upon receipt by the Company of the full payment for such Series
D Warrant Shares, will be validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable, without
any personal liability attaching to the ownership thereof and will not be issued
in violation of any preemptive or similar rights of shareholders.

         SECTION 5         ANTIDILUTION.

                           (a)      In the event that the Company shall at any
time after the Initial Exercise Date: (i) declare a dividend or make a
distribution on the outstanding Common Stock payable in shares of its capital
stock,(ii) subdivide the outstanding Common Stock into a greater number of
shares of Common Stock, (iii) combine the outstanding Common Stock into a
smaller number of shares, or (iv) issue any shares of its capital stock by
reclassification of the Common Stock (including any such reclassification in
connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing
corporation), then, in each case, the Series D Exercise Price in effect at the
time of the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to
receive such dividend or distribution or of the effective date of such
subdivision, combination, or reclassification shall be adjusted so that it shall
equal the price determined by multiplying such Series D Exercise Price by a
fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately prior to such action, and the denominator of which shall
be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding after giving effect to such
action. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event listed
above shall occur and shall become effective at the close of business on such
record date or at the close of business on the date immediately preceding such
effective date, as applicable.

                                       3

<PAGE>

                  (b)      All calculations under this Section 5 shall be made
to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may
be.

                  (c)      In any case in which this Section 5 shall require
that an adjustment in the number of Series D Warrant Shares be made effective as
of a record date for a specified event, the Company may elect to defer, until
the occurrence of such event, issuing to the Holder, if the Holder exercised
this Warrant after such record date, the Series D Warrant Shares, if any,
issuable upon such exercise over and above the number of Series D Warrant Shares
issuable upon such exercise on the basis of the number of shares of Common Stock
in effect prior to such adjustment; provided, however, that the Company shall
deliver to the Holder a due bill or other appropriate instrument evidencing the
Holder's right to receive such additional shares of Common Stock upon the
occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment.

                  (d)      Whenever there shall be an adjustment as provided in
this Section 5, the Company shall within fifteen (15) days thereafter cause
written notice thereof to be sent by registered mail, postage prepaid, to the
Holder, at its address as it shall appear in the Warrant Register, which notice
shall be accompanied by an officer's certificate setting forth the number of
Series D Warrant Shares issuable and the Series D Exercise Price thereof after
such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such
adjustment and the computation thereof, which officer's certificate shall be
conclusive evidence of the correctness of any such adjustment absent manifest
error.

                  (e)      The Company shall not be required to issue fractions
of shares of Common Stock or other capital stock of the Company upon the
exercise of this Warrant. If any fraction of a share of Common Stock would be
issuable on the exercise of this Warrant (or specified portions thereof), the
Company shall purchase such fraction for an amount in cash equal to the same
fraction of the average closing sale price (or average of the closing bid and
asked prices, if closing sale price is not available) of Common Stock for the
ten (10) trading days ending on and including the date of exercise of this
Warrant.

                  (f)      No adjustment in the Series D Exercise Price shall be
required if such adjustment is less than Five Cents ($.05); provided, however,
that any adjustments which by reason of this Section 5 are not required to be
made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent
adjustment.

                  (g)      Upon each adjustment of the Series D Exercise Price
pursuant to Section 5 (a), the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon
exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted to the number of shares of Common
Stock, calculated to the nearest one hundredth of a share, obtained by
multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable immediately prior
to such adjustment upon the exercise of this Warrant Certificate by the Series D
Exercise Price in effect prior to such adjustment and dividing the product so
obtained by the new Series D Exercise Price.

         SECTION 6         RECLASSIFICATION; REORGANIZATION; MERGER.

                                       4

<PAGE>

         (a)      In case of any capital reorganization, other than in the cases
referred to in Section 5(a) hereof, or the consolidation or merger of the
Company with or into another corporation (other than a merger or consolidation
in which the Company is the continuing corporation and which does not result in
any reclassification of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or the conversion
of such outstanding shares of Common Stock into shares of other stock or other
securities or property), or in the case of any sale, lease, or conveyance to
another corporation of the property and assets of any nature of the Company as
an entirety or substantially as an entirety (such actions being hereinafter
collectively referred to as "Reorganizations"), there shall thereafter be
deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant (in lieu of the number of Series D
Warrant Shares theretofore deliverable) the number of shares of stock or other
securities or property to which a holder of the respective number of Series D
Warrant Shares which would otherwise have been deliverable upon the exercise of
this Warrant would have been entitled upon such Reorganization if this Warrant
had been exercised in full immediately prior to such Reorganization. In case of
any Reorganization, appropriate adjustment, as determined in good faith by the
Board of Directors of the Company, shall be made in the application of the
provisions herein set forth with respect to the rights and interests of the
Holder so that the provisions set forth herein shall thereafter be applicable,
as nearly as possible, in relation to any shares or other property thereafter
deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant. Any such adjustment shall be made by,
and set forth in, a supplemental agreement between the Company, or any successor
thereto, and the Holder, with respect to this Warrant, and shall for all
purposes hereof conclusively be deemed to be an appropriate adjustment. The
Company shall not effect any such Reorganization unless, upon or prior to the
consummation thereof, the successor corporation, or if the Company shall be the
surviving corporation in any such Reorganization and is not the issuer of the
shares of stock or other securities or property to be delivered to holders of
shares of the Common Stock outstanding at the effective time thereof, then such
issuer, shall assume by written instrument the obligation to deliver to the
Holder such shares of stock, securities, cash, or other property as such Holder
shall be entitled to purchase in accordance with the foregoing provisions. In
the event of sale, lease, or conveyance or other transfer of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company as part of a plan for liquidation
of the Company, all rights to exercise this Warrant shall terminate thirty (30)
days after the Company gives written notice to the Holder that such sale or
conveyance or other transfer has been consummated.

                  (b)      In case of any reclassification or change of the
shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (other than a
change in par value or from a specified par value to no par value, or as a
result of a subdivision or combination, but including any change in the shares
into two or more classes or series of shares), or in case of any consolidation
or merger of another corporation into the Company in which the Company is the
continuing corporation and in which there is a reclassification or change
(including a change to the right to receive cash or other property) of the
shares of Common Stock (other than a change in par value, or from no par value
to a specified par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination, but
including any change in the shares into two or more classes or series of
shares), the Holder of this Warrant shall have the right thereafter to receive
upon exercise of this Warrant solely the kind and amount of shares of stock and
other securities, property, cash, or any combination thereof receivable upon
such reclassification, change, consolidation, or merger. Thereafter, appropriate

                                       5

<PAGE>

provision shall be made for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as
practicable to the adjustments in Section 5.

                  (c)      The above provisions of this Section 6 shall
similarly apply to successive reclassifications and changes of shares of Common
Stock and to successive consolidations, mergers, sales, leases, or conveyances.

         SECTION 7         NOTICE OF CERTAIN EVENTS.

         In case at any time the Company shall propose:

                  (a)      to pay any dividend or make any distribution on
shares of Common Stock in shares of Common Stock or make any other distribution
(other than regularly scheduled cash dividends which are not in a greater amount
per share than the most recent such cash dividend) to all holders of Common
Stock; or

                  (b)      to issue any rights, warrants, or other securities to
all holders of Common Stock entitling them to purchase any additional shares of
Common Stock or any other rights, warrants, or other securities; or

                  (c)      to effect any reclassification or change of
outstanding shares of Common Stock or any consolidation, merger, sale, lease, or
conveyance of property, as described in Section 6; or

                  (d)      to effect any liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up
of the Company; or

                  (e)      to take any other action which would cause an
adjustment to the Series D Exercise Price;

then, and in any one or more of such cases, the Company shall give written
notice thereof by registered mail, postage prepaid, to the Holder at the
Holder's address as it shall appear in the Warrant Register, mailed at least
fifteen (15) days prior to: (1) the date as of which the holders of record of
shares of Common Stock to be entitled to receive any such dividend,
distribution, rights, warrants, or other securities are to be determined, (2)
the date on which any such reclassification, change of outstanding shares of
Common Stock, consolidation, merger, sale, lease, conveyance of property,
liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up is expected to become effective and the
date as of which it is expected that holders of record of shares of Common Stock
shall be entitled to exchange their shares for securities or other property, if
any, deliverable upon such reclassification, change of outstanding shares,
consolidation, merger, sale, lease, conveyance of property, liquidation,
dissolution, or winding-up, or (3) the date of such action which would require
an adjustment to the Series D Exercise Price.

         SECTION 8         CHARGES AND TAXES.

                                       6

<PAGE>

                  The issuance of any shares or other securities upon the
exercise of this Warrant and the delivery of certificates or other instruments
representing such shares or other securities shall be made without charge to the
Holder for any tax or other charge in respect of such issuance. The Company
shall not, however, be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect
of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of any certificate in a name
other than that of the Holder and the Company shall not be required to issue or
deliver any such certificate unless and until the person or persons requesting
the issue thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall
have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.

         SECTION 9         LEGEND.

                  Until sold pursuant to the provisions of Rule 144 or an
effective registration statement, the Series D Warrant Shares issued on exercise
of this Warrant shall be subject to a stop transfer order and the certificate or
certificates representing the Series D Warrant Shares shall bear the following
legend:

                  THE SECURITIES ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS,
                  OR (2) THE COMPANY RECEIVES AN OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE
                  HOLDER OF THE SECURITIES, WHICH COUNSEL AND OPINION ARE
                  REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, THAT SUCH SECURITIES
                  MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED, ASSIGNED, OR OTHERWISE
                  TRANSFERRED IN THE MANNER CONTEMPLATED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE
                  REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR APPLICABLE

                  Upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Company of the
loss, theft, destruction, or mutilation of this Warrant (and upon surrender of
this Warrant if mutilated), and upon receipt by the Company of reasonably
satisfactory indemnification, the Company shall execute and deliver to the
Holder thereof a new Warrant of like date, tenor, and denomination.

of the Company, except as provided in this Warrant.

         SECTION 12        GOVERNING LAW.

                  This Warrant shall be construed in accordance with the laws of
