Herbalife - The shortcut to happiness

A brief history about Herbalife

Herbalife was founded in 1980 by Mark Hughes in response to the premature death of his mother who accidentally overdosed on a combination of prescription dieting pills. She was a model and, as many in the industry do, she struggled to keep her weight within a certain range.

Mark thought that there should be a safer way to achieve healthy nutrition and weight loss and so made it his mission, in memory of his mother, to research and formulate a nutrition product of the highest safety standards and effectiveness. After months of hard work and meeting with top scientists in the field he came up with Herbalife’s first and most widely recognised product – Formula 1 Nutritional Shake Mix – it’s still the keystone of Herbalife today, 31 years later.

Herbalife's Products

Herbalife's products range includes protein shakes, protein snacks, nutrition, energy and fitness supplements and personal care products. The Formula 1 protein shake (a soy based meal replacement shake) is the company's number one product and was the first product sold by the company. The range also includes heart health, digestive health, skin care, and more. Some products are vegetarian, halal and Herbalife provides testimonials and advice from health proffesionals as part of their product marketing.

These are the main products people usually get, to lose weight and gain lean muscle.
