Herbalife

Herbalife is a global health and wellness company founded in 1980 that develops and distributes nutrition, weight-management, sports-nutrition and personal-care products.

The product range covers protein shakes used as meal replacements, dietary supplements, herbal teas, aloe-based wellness products, sports nutrition aimed at fitness and athletic performance, and skin and body care formulations. The work behind these lines spans nutrition science, dietary supplement formulation, food and beverage science, and skincare formulation, alongside manufacturing and quality control. Distribution is run through an independent distributor network, which the company trains and supports in a coaching model built on one-on-one service.

Herbalife states that it was founded to improve nutrition habits worldwide. Its stated operating priorities include rigorous quality standards across manufacturing processes, ongoing innovation in nutrition and wellness, and a community-oriented support model in which independent distributors guide customers through health programmes. The company has been in operation for more than four decades and operates as a public company.
