Herbalife's product offering includes weight-management products such as Formula 1 Nutritional Shake Mix, a soy-based meal-replacement shake and one of the first products introduced by the company. Other categories include targeted nutrition such as
heart health,
energy and
fitness, and
skin care.
Proponents claim that the Herbalife strategy is aligned with health industry recommendations for safe weight control, eating a balanced diet, low-energy food with regular exercises, and that their nutritional and weight management line of products facilitate this through macronutrient and micronutrient food formulas.
Herbalife provides testimonials from health professionals as part of their marketing campaign. Some of the products are vegetarian, some are even kosher or halal.
In its annual report (SEC Form 10-K) Herbalife declares that all of its products are manufactured by outside companies, except for a small amount of products manufactured in its own manufacturing facility in China. The major suppliers include NBTY (Nature’s Bounty), Fine Foods (Italy), PharmaChem Labs and JB Labs which together account for more than 40% of its product purchases in 2006. [7] In addition Herbalife declared in its annual report 2005 that the Company’s research and development is primarily performed by outside consultants and that 2005 Herbalife had not incurred any material R&D costs.
