Herbalife

Herbalife Nutrition is a global multi-level marketing corporation that develops, markets, and sells nutrition supplements, weight management, sports nutrition, and personal-care products.  The company was founded by Mark Hughes in 1980, and it employs an estimated 8,000 people worldwide. Herbalife reported net sales of US$4.488 billion in 2016. The business is incorporated in the Cayman Islands, with its corporate headquarters located Los Angeles, California. The company operates in 95 countries (as of July 2015) through a network of approximately 3.2 million independent distributors.
Herbalife's "nutrition" products include weight-loss and protein shakes. The company's products also include protein bars, teas, aloes, vitamins, and sports hydration, energy and personal care products. The company's original product is the Formula 1 protein shake, a soy-based meal-replacement shake. The product debuted in 1980 and as of 2015 was the company's best selling product accounting for nearly 30% of total sales.
Other products include products for heart health, digestive health, skin care, and the 24 sports line. Some products are vegetarian, kosher, allergen free, or halal.
Herbalife's products are produced at the company's five manufacturing facilities in the U.S. and China as well as third-party manufacturing partners. The company's production process is based on a 'seed to feed' strategy which the company initiated in the 2010s and allows it trace where the ingredients in its nutritional products originated. Since 2013, the company has operated a botanical extraction facility in Changsha, Hunan Province. The facility produces botanical extracts, including teas, guarana, chamomile, broccoli, and bilberry, for use in many of the company's products. Before extracts are processed they undergo a botanical identification program and are tested several times throughout the production process.
