Herbalife is a scientifically formulated, herbal-based, calorie-reduced nutrition program. It is centered around our unique high-energy, protein-rich, nutritional "shake" or meal replacement drink, Formula #1, to which has been added food supplements containing important vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids and nutritional herbs. The Herbalife programs have been used for weight control and health enhancement since 1980, literally by millions of individuals around the world.
Why can't I just take extra vitamins?
Assuring proper Cellular Nutrition is considerably more complicated than simply avoiding a few excesses of the average American diet or adding a few vitamins. The Cellular Nutrition process begins by taking in a complete nutritional program that includes all of the essential micronutrients, eating a balanced diet and avoiding the excesses known to be harmful. At the same time, it means taking advantage of the wealth of information that has been gained from the botanical world by incorporating health-building, nutritional herbs.
Is Herbalife A "Liquid Protein" or "Starvation Diet"?
Definitely not! The programs supply at least 1000 Calories daily and is nutritionally complete so individuals can lose weight safely and effectively, and, just as important, keep the weight off. "Liquid protein" diets, which use nutritionally unbalanced protein-based drinks, or starvation diets, which reduce calories so low (less than 500 calories daily) that people literally starve to lose weight, are both extremely unhealthy and have less than 20% long-term success.
Is Herbalife "Natural"?
The program is based entirely on nutrition and herbs. The program does not use drugs, medications, hormones or other synthetic agents to promote weight loss. Ingredients must fulfill three important conditions: purity, potency and stability.
Are The Vitamin Levels, Like Vitamin A, High? Are They Safe?
The levels of vitamins and minerals in all Herbalife formulas are carefully designed to assure that individuals consuming them will not develop deficiencies or excesses. All of our formulas are created to assure that all individuals, regardless of their nutritional needs, receive optimum nutrition. Studies demonstrate that there are no "buildup" of vitamins or minerals associated with the use of Herbalife products, including Vitamin A. In formulating our products, we have taken special care to assure that Vitamin A level are completely safe and never lead to accumulation, even when consumed together with a diet rich in Vitamin A.
Can Everyone Use Your Products?
Yes. Since the products are 100% nutritional food supplements, they are safe for everyone. Certain individuals including children, pregnant or lactating women, insulin dependent diabetics and those with compromised kidney function are advised to consult with their physician before beginning this or any weight loss program.
Have The Products Been Tested?
Absolutely. The products have had extensive clinical testing in the United States and Great Britain. All of the studies have demonstrated that the products are safe and effective on both the short term and long term basis. In addition, each batch of products is quality-control tested to ensure product integrity before it is shipped anywhere in the world.
Does The Program Change Eating Habits?
Definitely. The Programs promote good nutritional habits like reducing fat, fried foods, salt and sugar in the diet and increasing fiber and complex carbohydrates. Most important, we teach individuals how to achieve and maintain an ideal weight. It is a lifetime health program that works for everyone.
Is The Program Recommended By Doctors?
Absolutely. Herbalife has a Medical and Scientific Advisory Board that tests and researches Herbalife products and continually monitors reports of results sent by customers and distributors. In addition, many physicians and other professionals in all parts of the world use the products both in their personal lives and in their practices.
What is the difference between your plan and many other plans?
One of the major differences about Cellular Nutrition is that it is an excellent nutritional program, but that is only the beginning. Simply consuming good nutrition will not really make a difference if the body is not able to fully digest and, more importantly, "absorb" all the nutrition that is consumed. Most of the nutrients that we consume are absorbed into our body through the villi of the small intestine. These are small, finger-like projections which specialize in the absorption of nutrients. Most of us take it for granted that our bodies absorb all the nutrition from our diets efficiently and completely. For all too many of us, unfortunately, nutrient absorption may be diminished or impaired a result of severely compromised eating habits, persistent dieting and other factors which may be due to severe stress that often accompanies modern life. This means that many of us are eating well but not getting the full nutritional benefit. One "very important" aspect of the cellular nutrition program is to assure that our bodies absorb, to the fullest extent possible, the nutrients that we do consume. In this way, we can counteract some of the demanding effects of poor eating habits, a stressful lifestyle, or even minor illnesses, and begin a process of regenerating and revitalizing our cells with good nutrition.
How Does Herbalife Work?
Herbalife supplies all the balanced nutrition the body needs on a daily basis. Individuals, who choose to, can lose excess weight by reducing excess calories without sacrificing important nutrients like protein, potassium and iron.
Are you approved by the FDA?
In 1986 the U.S. Food and Drug Administration thoroughly evaluated the Herbalife Program and issued a statement declaring that all of Herbalife's products were safe. However, the FDA does not actually approve any nutritional product or food supplement, only drugs, medications and medical devices. In addition, whenever Herbalife is introduced into a new country, it is reviewed by that country's government before it is approved for importation and distribution.
