Herbalife is a multilevel marketing (MLM) company that sells nutritional supplements and personal care products in more than 90 countries around the world.

One of its products is the Herbalife weight loss program, which uses meal replacement shakes and dietary supplements to help people slim down.

While quick-fix diets like the Herbalife program can help people lose weight in the short term, they can be expensive and are often not sustainable.

This article provides a comprehensive review of Herbalife, including how it works, its benefits, its downsides, a sample menu, and more.

Products and services

Though Herbalife is best known for its meal replacement and protein shakes, the company has continued to expand its product offerings. Some of the most popular products are:

  • Formula 1 Select meal replacement shakes (known as the “core” products)
  • Formula 2 and 3 supplements (multivitamin and antioxidant capsules)
  • protein powders and bars
  • herbal weight loss teas
  • protein bars
  • aloe products
  • fiber, prebiotic, and probiotic supplements
  • sports nutrition supplements
  • vitamin, mineral, and herbal supplements
  • skincare products

By far, Herbalife’s most popular product is the Formula 1 Select meal replacement shake. It comes in a variety of flavors, such as French Vanilla, Dutch Chocolate, Cookies n’ Cream, Wild Berry, Café Latte, Banana Caramel, Pralines and Cream, and Natural Vanilla.

Brand reputation

Herbalife is one of the biggest weight loss brands in the world and has been around for more than 40 years (1).

While many people enjoy Herbalife products, the brand has come under tremendous scrutiny for being an MLM company.

Because of Herbalife’s poor reputation with the FTC and research that shows MLM companies are financial liabilities for 75% of the people who participate in them, Herbalife failed Healthline’s rigorous vetting process.
