Gentlemen:

     You have requested our opinion, as counsel for Vital Health Technologies,
Inc., a Minnesota corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the
registration statement on Form SB-2 (the "Registration Statement"), under the
Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act"), being filed by the Company with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

     The Registration Statement relates to an offering of 1,532,474 shares of
the Company's common stock which are already issued and outstanding.

     We have examined such records and documents and made such examination of
laws as we have deemed relevant in connection with this opinion. It is our
opinion that when there has been compliance with the Act, the shares of common
stock, when issued, delivered, and paid for, will be fully paid validly issued
and non-assessable.

     No opinion is expressed herein as to any laws other than the State of
Minnesota of the United States.

     We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement and to the reference to our firm under the caption "Legal
Matters" in the Registration Statement. In so doing, we do not admit that we are
in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act
and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission
promulgated thereunder.

Very truly yours,

ANSLOW & JACLIN, LLP
