Products
Herbalife's product range includes protein shakes, protein snacks, nutrition, energy and fitness supplements and personal care products. The Formula 1 protein shake, a soy-based meal-replacement shake, is the company's number one product and was one of the first products sold by the company. The range also includes products for heart health, digestive health, skin care, and the new 24 sports line released in 2011. Some products are vegetarian, kosher, allergen free or halal, and Herbalife provides testimonials and advice from health professionals as part of their product marketing.
According to the 2009 Form 10-K, many of its weight management, nutritional and personal care products are manufactured by third-party manufacturing companies, with the exception of products distributed in and sourced from China, where they have their own manufacturing facility, and several products are produced in its manufacturing facility in Lake Forest, California (renovated 2011). Herbalife is currently making modifications to its recently acquired manufacturing facility in order to increase capability and capacity, and upon completion of these modifications, expect to increase self manufacturing.
In October 2010, Herbalife held a groundbreaking ceremony in Changsha, Hunan Province, China for its botanical extraction facility for its inner and outer nutrition products. The new facility is expected to open in the second half of 2011. The new extraction facility will purchase botanicals directly from farms in Hunan province, China and other regions, perform extraction and other conversion processes and then send these processed raw materials directly to Herbalife's manufacturing facilities in Suzhou, China and Lake Forest, California, or to its third party manufacturers throughout the world. The new extraction plant will produce botanical extracts, including teas, guarana, chamomile, broccoli and bilberry, among others, for use in many of its products.

Famous quotes containing the word products:
“It seemed there was a sort of poisoning, an auto-infection of the organisms, so Dr. Krokowski said; it was caused by the disintegration of a substance ... and the products of this disintegration operated like an intoxicant upon the nerve-centres of the spinal cord, with an effect similar to that of certain poisons, such as morphia, or cocaine.”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
“The measure discriminates definitely against products which make up what has been universally considered a program of safe farming. The bill upholds as ideals of American farming the men who grow cotton, corn, rice, swine, tobacco, or wheat and nothing else. These are to be given special favors at the expense of the farmer who has toiled for years to build up a constructive farming enterprise to include a variety of crops and livestock.”
—Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
“The reality is that zero defects in products plus zero pollution plus zero risk on the job is equivalent to maximum growth of government plus zero economic growth plus runaway inflation.”
—Dixie Lee Ray (b. 1924)
