Nutritional supplements are not recommended for specific medical conditions, but can be advertised as being supportive of general health, wellness and weight reduction. However, all nutritional supplements are subject to rules regarding purity and good manufacturing practices.
Because the products are considered nutritional supplements, they are not subject to the usual efficacy and safety evaluation given to medications. Some of the more common products sold are listed in the Table below with a partial listing of their ingredients as provided in the product label. The ingredients and their concentrations in some of the products have been modified over time. The constituents of the various Herbalife products vary but are largely proteins, amino acids, vitamins, minerals and selected botanicals such as aloe vera, green tea, ginseng, gingko, guarana, valerian, lavender, saw palmetto, echinacea, astragalus, ginger, hops, bilberry, vegetable and fruit extracts and many others. The products are not sold in conventional stores or nutrition outlets, but by independent distributors or via the internet. Herbalife is a for-profit, publically traded company (Herbalife International of America, Inc., Torrance CA) that produces an array of multi-ingredient herbal and nutritional supplements (MINS).
