Class members in the $9.95 million Balance of Nature supplement settlement began receiving payments of $4 and $8 by Venmo and Zelle in early October 2026, from a sender labeled “Supplements Settlement.” The amounts match the settlement’s tier for claims filed without receipts, and the claim deadline passed in March 2026.
What Is This About?
Payments labeled “Supplements Settlement” are reaching class members in the Balance of Nature false advertising settlement. One class member shared a Venmo notice for $4 reading “Your Supplements Settlement payment is now available in Venmo.” Another shared a Wells Fargo Zelle email dated October 7, 2026, showing “Supplements Settlement sent you $8.00” with the memo “Your Supplements Settlement payment was sent via Zelle.”Supplements Settlement is the name of the official website for Morris v. Evig, LLC d/b/a Balance of Nature, Case No. 25PH-CV-01551, in the Circuit Court of Phelps County, Missouri. The settlement agreement lets claimants choose payment by PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, virtual prepaid card or check, and the amounts reported match its benefit tiers. The lawsuit alleged that Balance of Nature's Fruits, Veggies and Fiber & Spice supplements were deceptively labeled and marketed; Evig denied the allegations and any wrongdoing.

How Much Is the Balance of Nature Payment?
The settlement agreement set two tiers, one claim per household:- Tier 1, with proof of purchase: up to $6 per bottle for up to five bottles, a maximum of $30.
- Tier 2, without proof of purchase: up to $4 per bottle for up to two bottles, a maximum of $8.
A $4 payment matches a no-receipt claim for one bottle, and $8 matches the no-receipt maximum. Payments are reduced proportionally only if valid claims, administration costs, attorneys' fees and the service award together would exceed $9.95 million, the most Evig agreed to pay. Class counsel's fees and expenses, including a $5,000 service award, were capped at $2.575 million within that total.
Has the Settlement Been Approved?
Under the settlement agreement, payments go out within 45 days after the latest of the settlement's Effective Date, the completion of any claim audits and the administrator's final payment list, so payments are made only after final approval. The final approval hearing was held March 6, 2026. As of October 8, 2026, however, the official settlement website had not been updated since March 12 and still said the court had not issued a final approval decision. Open Class Actions could not access the Phelps County docket to confirm when a final approval order was entered.Who Is Being Paid?
Only people who filed a valid claim by the March 11, 2026 deadline. The class covered people who bought Balance of Nature Fruits, Veggies or Fiber & Spice products in the United States between March 28, 2019 and October 27, 2025, except buyers for resale and people who already received a full refund. Claimants who chose a check receive it by mail; electronic payments go to the email address or phone number given on the claim form.Questions
