PROXY STATEMENT

ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

TO BE HELD AUGUST 21, 2013

INFORMATION CONCERNING SOLICITATION AND VOTING

This Proxy Statement is furnished to you as a holder of outstanding shares of Health Enhancement Products, Inc. common stock, par value $.001 per share, in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors of the Company, for use at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held at The Westin Detroit Metropolitan Airport Hotel, 2501 Worldgateway Place, Detroit (Romulus), MI 48242 on August 21, 2013 at 10:00 a.m. local time. Accompanying this Proxy Statement is the Board of Directors’ Proxy for the Annual Meeting which you may use to indicate your vote as to the proposals described in this Proxy Statement. Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 also accompanies this Proxy Statement, but does not constitute part of these proxy soliciting materials. We anticipate that this Proxy Statement and the accompanying proxy will be mailed to our shareholders on or about July 16, 2013.

Voting of Shares by Proxy

Shareholders may vote in person or by proxy. Execution of a proxy will not in any way affect a shareholder’s right to attend the Annual Meeting and vote in person. Any proxy given pursuant to this solicitation may be revoked by the person giving it any time before it is voted. Proxies may be revoked by (1) filing with our Secretary, before the taking of the vote at the Annual Meeting, a written notice of revocation bearing a date later than the date of such proxy, (2) duly executing a later dated proxy relating to the same shares and delivering it to our Secretary before the taking of the vote at the Annual Meeting or (3) attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person (although attendance at the Annual Meeting will not in and of itself constitute a revocation of a proxy). If your shares are held in “street name,” that is, you hold your shares in an account with a bank, broker or other holder of record, you must obtain a proxy, executed in your favor, from your broker or other holder of record, to be able to vote at the Annual Meeting. Any written notice of revocation or subsequent proxy should be sent so as to be delivered to Health Enhancement Products, Inc., 7 West Square Lake Rd, Suite 116, Bloomfield Hills, MI  48302, attention: Corporate Secretary, at or before the taking of the vote at the Annual Meeting.

Record Date

The close of business on June 28, 2013 has been fixed as the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting or any adjournments thereof. As of March 31, 2013, we had outstanding  105,670,927 shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share. A shareholder is entitled to cast one vote for each share held on the record date on all matters to be considered at the Annual Meeting.

Quorum and Votes Required

The representation in person or by proxy of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting is necessary to establish a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting. Votes withheld from a nominee, abstentions and broker “non-votes” are counted as present or represented for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum. A “non-vote” occurs when a broker holding shares for a beneficial owner does not vote on a proposal because the broker does not have discretionary voting power and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner.  

Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast by shareholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.   

 

An automated system administered by our transfer agent tabulates the votes. The vote on each matter submitted to shareholders is tabulated separately. Abstentions and broker “non-votes” are included in the number of shares present or represented for purposes of determining whether there is a quorum, but are not considered as shares voting or as votes cast with respect to any matter presented at the Annual Meeting. As a result, abstentions and broker “non-votes” will not have any effect on the proposal to elect directors and will be treated as equivalent to a vote against the increase in the number of our authorized common shares.

The persons named as the proxies, Philip M. Rice II and John Gorman, were selected by the Board of Directors and are our executive officers. All properly executed proxies returned in time to be counted at the Annual Meeting will be voted. Any shareholder giving a proxy has the right to withhold authority to vote for any individual nominee to the Board of Directors by writing that nominee’s name in the space provided on the proxy.

---

All proxies will be voted in accordance with the shareholders’ instructions, and if no choice is specified, the enclosed proxy card (or any signed and dated copy thereof) will be voted in favor of the matters set forth in the accompanying notice of Annual Meeting of shareholders.

Business to be Transacted

At the Annual Meeting, the shareholders will consider and vote upon the following proposal:

· Election of Directors:  To elect three (3) members of the Board of Directors.  

Board of Directors’ Recommendation for Voting on the Proposal

 

The Board of Directors recommends a vote “FOR” the nominees for Director.

By order of the Board of Directors

Q: What does it mean if I get more than one proxy card?

A: If your shares are registered differently and are in more than one account, you will receive more than one proxy card. Sign and return all proxy cards to ensure that all of your shares are voted. We encourage you to have all accounts registered in the same name and address (whenever possible).

You can accomplish this by contacting our transfer agent, Interwest Transfer Company, Inc. at (801) 272-9294.

A: Although we do not know of any business to be considered at the Annual Meeting other than the proposals described in this Proxy Statement, if any other business is presented at the Annual Meeting, your signed proxy card gives authority to Philip M. Rice II, Chief Financial Officer, and John Gorman, Executive VP Operations, to vote on such matters at their discretion.

Q: Can a shareholder nominate someone to be a director of HEPI?

A: Our bylaws do provide a procedure for shareholders to nominate directors.  Nominations for the election of directors may be made by the board of directors or by any shareholder entitled to vote for the election of directors.  Subject to compliance with applicable United States Securities Laws and the Rules and Regulations of the SEC, nominations by shareholders may be made by notice in writing to the secretary of the corporation not less than 14 days nor more than 60 days prior to any meeting of the shareholders called for the election of directors; provided, however, that if less than 21 written days’ notice of the meeting is given to shareholders, such notice of nomination by a shareholder shall be given to the secretary of the corporation not later than the close of the fifth day following the day on which notice of the meeting was mailed to shareholders.  

The Board of Directors does not currently have a standing nominating committee.  The Board of Directors, in selecting individuals to be nominated for election to the Board of Directors, would consider, among others, the following qualifications in nominating an individual:  independence, integrity, business experience and acumen, education, accounting and financial expertise, reputation, civic and community relationships and industry knowledge and relationships.  In nominating an existing director for re-election to the Board of Directors, the Directors will consider and review an existing director’s Board attendance, performance and length of service.  

Q: Who is soliciting proxies?

A. The enclosed proxy is being solicited by the Board of Directors of HEPI on behalf of HEPI. The cost of the solicitation shall be borne by the Company. It is anticipated that solicitations of proxies for the meeting will be made only by use of the mail; however, we may use the services of our directors, officers and employees to solicit proxies personally or by telephone, without additional salary or compensation to them. Brokerage houses, custodians, nominees and fiduciaries will be requested to forward the proxy soliciting materials to the beneficial owners of our shares held of record by such persons, and we will reimburse such persons for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in the performance of that task.

Q: How much will this proxy solicitation cost?

A: The total cost is estimated to be about $20,000, consisting primarily of legal, printing, postage, and service fees related to the use of certain aspects of the Notice & Access model.   None of these funds will be used as compensation for solicitation.

Q:  How can I access the Company’s proxy materials and annual report on Form 10-K?

A:  The “Investors” section of the Company’s website, http://www.health-enhancement-products.com, provides access, free of charge, to SEC reports as soon as reasonably practicable after the Company electronically files such reports with, or furnishes such reports to, the SEC, including proxy materials, Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K and amendments to these reports.  In addition, a copy of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 will be sent to any shareholder, without charge, upon written request sent to the Company’s Philip Rice, CFO, Health Enhancement Products, Inc., 7 West Square Lake Rd, Suite 116, Bloomfield Hills, Michigan  48302.  Alternatively, a beneficial owner may access the Company’s Annual Report on form 10-K and the proxy statement on the Company’s internet website at: www.shareholdermaterial.com/hepi.

Each of the nominees has consented to serve as a director if elected; however, if any nominee is unable or declines to serve, which we do not expect to happen, proxy holders shall vote the proxies in accordance with their best judgment for another qualified nominee. If any of the nominees become unavailable to stand for re-election at the Annual Meeting, the Board of Directors may designate a substitute and proxies not withholding votes for the original nominee will be cast for the substitute. Proxies may not be voted for a greater number of persons to the Board of Directors than the number of nominees named herein

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE ELECTION OF PHILIP M. RICE II, JOHN GORMAN AND BRIAN YOUNG AS DIRECTORS OF THE COMPANY.

INFORMATION WITH RESPECT TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The following is a brief description of the structure and certain functions of our Board of Directors (the “Board of Directors” or “Board”).  Each of the current directors is serving until their respective successor is duly elected and qualified, subject to earlier resignation.  The Board currently consists of three directors, two of whom are employee directors, each of whom have been nominated for election as Directors at this Annual Meeting.  Each director was nominated based on his knowledge of the Company, his skills, expertise and willingness to serve as a director.  The Board usually meets in scheduled meetings either in person or via conference telephone call. The Board of Directors held 4 meetings during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.   Each of the directors attended more than 75% of the scheduled meetings of the Board of Directors.  Members of the Board of Directors are strongly encouraged to attend the Company’s annual meeting of shareholders in person. If attendance in person is not possible, members of the Board of Directors are strongly encouraged to attend the Company’s annual meeting of shareholders via telephone or similar communication equipment. The Board of Directors will use reasonable efforts to schedule the annual meeting of shareholders on such a date so as to maximize the attendance of its members.  There was an annual meeting held in 2012.

Structure and Operation of the Board

We do not have standing audit, compensation or nominating committees of our Board.  However, the full Board performs all of the functions of a standing audit committee, compensation committee and nominating committee.  The following is a brief description of these functions of the Board:

Nomination of Directors

The Board of Directors does not currently have a standing nominating committee.  The full Board of Directors currently has the responsibility of selecting individuals to be nominated for election to the Board of Directors. Board candidates are typically identified by existing directors or members of management.  The Board of Directors will consider director candidates recommended by security holders.  Any such candidates will be evaluated on the same basis as other candidates being evaluated by the Board.  The Nominating Committee considers the needs for the Board of Directors as a whole when identifying and evaluating nominees and, among other things, considers diversity in background, age, experience, qualifications, attributes and skills in identifying nominees, although it does not have a formal policy regarding the consideration of diversity.  For information concerning the procedures to be followed by security holders in recommending candidates, please refer to the information under the caption “Other Matters─Shareholder Proposals.”  Each director nominee was recommended by the Board of Directors as a whole.

Audit Committee Related Function

We do not have a standing audit Committee, and thus we do not have an audit committee charter. The Board does not believe that the Company is in a position to attract non-management directors who could be made members of a separate audit committee. The Board of Directors reviews with management and the Company’s independent public accountants the Company’s financial statements, the accounting principles applied in their preparation, the scope of the audit, any comments made by the independent accountants upon the financial condition of the Company and its accounting controls and procedures and such other matters as the Board deems appropriate. During fiscal year 2012, the Board met one time with respect to Audit Committee related matters.  Because the Company’s common stock is traded on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board, the Company is not subject to the listing requirements of any securities exchange regarding Audit Committee related matters.

The Board currently consists of three Directors: Mr. Philip M. Rice II, Mr. John Gorman and Mr. Brian Young. The Board has determined that Mr. Rice qualifies as an “Audit Committee Financial Expert” as that term is defined in rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The audit related functions of the Board include:

•

Selecting our independent auditors

•

Reviewing the results and scope of the audit and other services provided by our independent auditors

•

 Reviewing and evaluating our audit and control functions

Report of Board on Audit Related Matters

In discharging its responsibility for oversight of the audit process, the Board obtained from the Company’s independent auditors, Wolinetz, Lafazan and Company, P.C., a formal written statement describing any relationships between the auditors and the Company that might bear on the auditors’ independence, consistent with the Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, “Independence Discussions with Audit Committees.”  In addition, the Board discussed with the auditors any relationships that might impact the auditors’ objectivity and independence.  The Board is satisfied as to the auditors’ independence.

The Board of Directors of the Company reported the following:

1.

The Board has reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements as of, and for, the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, with management and the independent auditors. Management has the responsibility for preparation of the Company’s financial statements and the independent auditors have the responsibility for auditing those statements;

 

2.

The Board has discussed with the independent auditors the matters required to be discussed by SAS 61, as may be modified or supplemented;

3.

The Board has received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent accountants required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, Independence Discussions with Audit Committees), as may be modified or supplemented, and has discussed with the independent accountant the independent accountant’s independence; and

4.

Based on the review and discussion referred to in paragraphs (1) through (3) above, the Board approved the inclusion of the audited financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.

Audit Services and Fees

Wolinetz, Lafazan and Company, P.C., acting as our independent accountants, has reported on our December 31, 2012 financial statements in our 2012 Annual Report, which was filed with the SEC on Form 10-K on March 25, 2013, and has served as our independent accountant for eight years. No representative of Wolinetz, Lafazan and Company, P.C. will be present at the Annual Meeting.

It is the Board’s policy and practice to review and approve in advance all services, audit and non-audit, to be rendered by the Company’s independent auditor. The Board does not delegate this responsibility to Company management.

Fees billed by Wolinetz, Lafazan and Company, P.C. for 2012 and 2011, all which were approved by the Board in accordance with its established policies and procedures, were as follows:

		2012			2011
Audit Fees		$	91,000		$	88,300
Audit-Related Fees			--			--
Tax Fees			--			--
All Other Fees			--			--
		$	91,000		$	88,300

The Company’s independent auditor does not generally provide tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning services to the Company.

Members of the Board:

Philip M. Rice II

John Gorman

Brian Young

Risk Oversight

The Board of Directors’ risk oversight is administered primarily though the following:

· review and approval of an annual business plan;

· review of a summary of risks and opportunities at meetings of the Board of Directors;

· review of business developments, business plan implementation and financial results;

· oversight of internal controls over financial reporting; and

· review of employee compensation and its relationship to our business plans.

Compensation Committee Related Function

The Board of Directors does not currently have a standing compensation committee, and thus we do not have a compensation committee charter. The Board does not believe that the Company is in a position to attract non-management directors who could be made members of a separate compensation committee. The full Board of Directors currently has the responsibility of reviewing and establishing compensation for executive officers and making policy decisions concerning salaries and incentive compensation for executive officers of the Company.

The Company’s executive compensation program is administered by the Board, which determines the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Executive VP Operations of the Company. In reviewing the compensation of the individual executive officers (other than the Chief Executive Officer), the Board considers the recommendations of the Chief Executive Officer, published compensation surveys and current market conditions.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

As disclosed above, the Board of Directors made all determinations about executive compensation for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.   The Board is comprised of two directors who are employees of the Company and one independent director.  No director is a former employee of the Company.  

Communication with Shareholders

We have established a process for shareholders to communicate with the Board of Directors. Shareholders wishing to communicate with the Board of Directors of HEPI can send an email to jgorman@health-enhancement-products.com or write or telephone John Gorman at the Company’s corporate offices:

John Gorman

Health Enhancement Products, Inc.

7 West Square Lake Rd, Suite 116

Bloomfield Hills, MI  48302

Telephone (248) 397-4300.  

All such communication must state the type and amount of Company securities held by the shareholder and must clearly state that the communication is intended to be shared with the Board of Directors.  Mr. Gorman will forward all such communications to the other members of the Board.

Code of Ethics

HEPI has adopted a code of ethics that applies to the Principal Executive Officer, Principal Financial Officer, or those performing similar functions.  A copy of the code of ethics will be sent to any shareholder, without charge, upon written request sent to the Company’s Philip Rice, CFO, Health Enhancement Products, Inc., 7 West Square Lake Rd, Suite 116, Bloomfield Hills, Michigan  48302.

If a shareholder who wishes to present such a proposal fails to notify us within the specified time frame, the proxies that management solicits for the meeting will have discretionary authority to vote on the shareholder’s proposal if it is properly brought before the meeting. If a shareholder makes a timely notification, the proxies may still exercise discretionary voting authority under circumstances consistent with the proxy rules of the SEC.

The notice should set forth: (a) for each nominee (i) information as would be required to be included in a proxy statement filed pursuant to the proxy rules of the SEC, and (ii) written consent of the nominee to be named in the proxy statement and to serve as director if so elected; (b) a brief description of any proposed business including (i) the text of such proposal and any accompanying resolutions, (ii) the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting, (iii) any material interest held by the proposing shareholder or any beneficial owner on whose behalf the proposal is made; and (c) proposing shareholder and/or beneficial owner information including, (i) name and address, (ii) the class and number of shares of capital stock held, (iii) a representation that they are the holder of record, are entitled to vote, and intend to appear in person or by proxy and propose such business or nomination, and (iv) a representation of intention to either deliver proxy statements to holders of the necessary percentage of shares or to solicit proxies in support of the proposal.

All costs of solicitation of proxies will be borne by us. In addition to solicitations by mail, certain of our Directors, officers and regular employees, without additional remuneration, may solicit proxies in person or by telephone or electronic mail.
