Herbalife Review
Review of Herbalife MLM
If Herbalife is one of MLM companies that you are thinking about joining, there is enough controversy over the company and its products to make informed investigators a little wary. The tricky part of dealing with Herbalife is that many of their marketing materials do a good job of avoiding the company name (sort of like Amway actually).
For example, according to residents in Sacramento, there are hundreds of signs posted across the city advertising “work-at-home” opportunities and weight-loss regimes that are all connected to Herbalife distributors but fail to mention the company name. Consequently, it can be easy to get started on the distributor track without even knowing what you are getting into.
And, even though there are definitely some incredible success stories connected with Herbalife, a large number of Herbalife distributors are unsatisfied with the financial profits they bring in versus the cost they have to put out during business endeavors. This is evidenced by blogs and other websites that warn potential distributors about the dangers of signing up. There have also been a few lawsuits over this issue.
Most importantly, there have also been health issues and other criticisms connected with Herbalife products. For example, they once contained an ingredient called Ephedrine that was later determined dangerous and banned by the FDA. Some studies also show a tendency for the products to cause hepatitis.
I also noticed that over 60 people a day search for the phrase “problems with herbalife” - not a good sign.
And finally, Herbalife products have also been criticized for being overpriced and nutritionally unbalanced. Since many of the products are meant to be meal replacement options, unbalanced nutrition can have a huge impact on your personal health.
A few good things connected with Herbalife are their donations to children’s charities as well as their role in sponsoring several Olympic athletes. Knowing that those athletes are sponsored by Herbalife also tends to make some investigators skeptical of the products though.
Although this report has polled many different resource, it may be wise to speak with experience Herbalife veterans and do a little of your own research before forming a concrete opinion.

Oh dear…you’ve painted a very different picture of Herbalife business opportunity to the one I know. I’ve been a distributor in UK for 3 years, have taken the nutrition everyday for 3 years, and earn a nice income.

wow, this is a very different picture than what i am receiving from herbalife. I am in the process of becoming a distributor and they are very clear as to what i am getting into. I even found the training dvd and materials extremely redundant about what i was starting. it is important to look into opportunities that are right in front of you, but any business venture requires some kind of investment.

the 25% and 50% income from retail depending on the level invested or earned is misused by the 50% earners whom are giving their customers a 25% discount and leaving the small guy out. They are not honest and telling people what the business is when looking for others to sponsor, and want you to go to meetings and have no time for sales and life. Now they have a charge to pick up and did not have before, the excuse is rising cost, oh yeh and labor. You do no see lose weight now buttons like in the past, and the nutrition club a major profit to the high profit distributors.

Thanks to Herbalife, we have now been turned over to the Credit Collection Agency. We couldn’t afford the $47 month website payments, because we couldn’t find anyone who could afford the $300 entry fee. I guess if it wasn’t for bad luck, we wouldn’t have any luck at all. Thank you, HERBALIFE!
