What’s the benefit of a Herbalife shake?
It is a healthy well balanced meal in a glass!
- Cheap! Our programs can save money while losing weight!
- Tastes good! There is a flavor for everyone!
- A Herbalife shake is full of vital nutrients.
- Convenient! Prepare and eat within a few minutes.
- It is protein rich and can keep you full of energy all day long
The Shake has a nutritional value of ‘a Factor of 10’… meaning; you will have to load your food plates with perfectly balanced meals, amounting to about ten times the number of calories compared to a shake, to match the high amount of nutrients in a Formula-1 shake!
Benefits of Herbalife’s nutrition system
The heart of Herbalife’s nutrition system
The Formula-1 shake and Formula-2 multivitamin together with Fibre & Herbs form our ‘Core Nutrition’ – and are considered ‘the heart of Herbalife’s nutrition system’. Add other Herbalife products together with well-balanced cooked meals and physical activity to achieve personal goals and a healthy active life.
Targeted products go beyond our basic nutrition programs to satisfy special needs. Please consult with one of our consultants to find out what targeted products you would benefit from.
Every product is matched against all other products
When you buy supplements at a supermarket or health store everything comes in separate bottles – one bottle with some B vitamins, one can of Omega 3… a.s.o. There is a big risk that you don’t have the knowledge to buy some vital nutrients when they come in individual bottles and it can get very expensive. Also, the content in the different bottles are not matched to one another or complement each other and are of different brands. They are not meant to be part of a complete program. In most shops a complete set of vital nutrients cannot be found from one supplier, which means that the quality, number of tablets and nutritional value differ.
With Herbalife you get one supplier and one brand, where every product is of the highest quality, matched against all other products and part of a complete system. With Herbalife you know that you’ll get “all of everything” – meaning, the complete set of essential micro- and phyto-nutrients that we need on a daily basis.
No risk of getting too much
Unless you are a dietitian or well educated nutritionist, it is almost impossible to know exactly what our bodies need to stay healthy. When buying single bottles of vitamins from a chemist or supermarket the odds are extremely high that you will miss out on essential and therefore vital nutrients. You might even ‘overdose’ and take too much of a certain mineral, for example.
Our Core Nutrition products together with any other Herbalife product will give you a well-balanced nutrition program that provides the right amount of all the nutrients your body need on a daily basis.
Nutrients needing complementary nutrients
Some nutrients need complementary nutrients in very specific amounts to function, to be of use and give wanted effects. Do you have that knowledge?
Herbalife’s nutrition system is made for people who want to make sure they get “all of everything” – all essential nutrients matched in the right proportions to other vital nutrients. When using the products, know that Herbalife has provided you with products based on leading science and developed by some of the best dietitians, doctors and nutrition scientists in the world.
