Manufacturing
Herbalife complies with the
applicable requirements of all
regulatory bodies wherever we do
business. In the United States, all
of our products comply with and are
labeled according to the Food and
Drug Administration (FDA)
regulations. Outside of the United
States, we comply with and are
regulated by the various ministries
of health and food standards
agencies where we do business.
Through the acquisition of assets at
Micelle Laboratories, a California
contract manufacturer of food and
dietary supplements, we are able to
enhance our global product
development and supply chain to
better support our dedicated
independent Distributors. It allows
us to increase the speed to market
for new products while controlling
quality along each step of the
manufacturing process, from raw
ingredients to finished products –
part of our ongoing commitment to
excellence

Clinical Studies
We are currently conducting several
clinical studies with major
universities around the world in
order to benchmark the efficacy of
various products. Three clinical
studies using our
Formula 1 Nutritional Shake Mix
were done: one at
UCLA*, United States, one at the
University of Ulm, Germany and
one at
Seoul National University Hospital
in Korea. The studies conducted
demonstrated that drinking Formula 1
shakes every day as
meal replacements is an
effective way to manage weight. A
clinical study using Niteworks was
also conducted at UCLA which
concluded that the anaerobic
threshold in men between the ages of
50 and 73 increased when drinking
Niteworks every night.
