I was pushed by some uneducated salespeople, I fell to their lies and deception. I PURCHASED some Herbalife tea, protein, and vitamins. After I start using these products, I start feeling sick, I could not sleep at night, start vomiting, and taking the protein I start having diarrhea. Do not buy any of these junks. The Herbalife owners mainly recruit illegals to sell their junk to each other also.

Herbalife is an amazing company with healthy meal options for people trying to lose weight gain weight or maintain a healthy weight. I have worked for the company as well as use their product and can factually say that the product does work. The products are amazing. They do what they are intended to do if you follow the guidelines and directions. One of the things that I notice when people review Herbalife is that they say it doesn't work but then they don't explain what they did with the product or how they used it.
Herbalife is not a miracle diet supplement. It is a way of life that one lives. It is changing unhealthy eating habits and using the products correctly along with exercise and diet. You cannot I repeat you cannot use these products and then go eat a hamburger and think that you were going to lose weight and that you were going to get the same results as the people who change their eating habits, diet and exercise along with the products and got amazing results.
Herbalife is not something you do just to lose weight and then stop. Doing it over life is a lifestyle that you remain with for the rest of your life. You change the form of how you use the product so that you keep the nutritional benefits of the product as you maintain a healthy weight. So in conclusion I have to say Herbalife has helped me in a lot of ways. I have lost weight. Got rid of anemia and have felt amazing. You can too. Do not judge the product by some of the false reviews that I've seen here but judge the product for what it does and I'm telling you it does work.

Herbalife Nutrition has changed my life for the better.. I was overweight and could not manage my body. I was 102 kg and fortunately enough, I met herbalife distributor who encourage me to try their products. I bought the shake (formula 1), instant beverage tea and herbal aloe concentrated drink for a start. Every morning, I start my day with a healthy breakfast. I take the instant beverage tea combined with the herbal aloe concentrated drink and follow the instructions given by the distributor. I prepare a hot tea for myself both morning and evening. This gives me a lot of energy and reduces cholesterol in my body.
After that, I do 20 minutes exercises. The exercise can be in any form. Then I prepare two full spoon of shake with ordinary water excluding hot water in a glass. I take this as my healthy breakfast. Any time I feel tasty, I take a lot of water. In the afternoon, I take a heavy lunch of my choice. In the evening, I take light dinner and repeat my herbalife program as directed by the distributor. This herbalife program in addition with 20 minutes exercises every day, is repeated for 30 days continuously. Within the first 10 days, there was a great change in my body. After 30 days, I felt lighter and happier. I continue the program for the next 60 days, and I found out that, my weight was reducing and I started living active lifestyle.

New customer to this company but so disappointed in the services they offer & how they rip you off on the products they sell. They are junk!. They don’t care about you as a new client. Only see you as a bag of $$$.

I had placed an order that was delivered, however, it was delivered to my destroyed home during a mandatory evacuation order during Hurricane Laura. It was either stolen, looted or whatnot. I have been trying continuously to have my order refunded. Customer service has been so rude and has yet to assist in my request, I have been hung up on numerous times. I only want a refund.

When I started Herbalife in 2014, and used the product, I started to poop blood for 2 days. From 2017 thru 2019, I've been having stomach pain and diarrhea, I think this product is GMO and full chemical ingredients that we shouldn't never consume and the human don't even recognize the ingredients. Lastly, I got bloated and hard to lose belly fat now.

First thing to healthy lifestyle definitely eat correct nutrition to your body and exercise. Knowledge is important. No matter whether what product that you are consuming, ensure you know what you are taking. Believe your body reaction and feeling. Your body is your own responsibility. For me, taking this product helped me. I have tried many many type of dieting, yet this is the best solution. So if this doesn't suit you, then just ensure you go find your best solution suits your body. This is because it is not what you can eat, it is what you can absorb. To me, those product doesn't work for me, I just say that my body can't absorb. And I only believe by research and try it by following the correct step. I heard a lot of reviews that I am sure that outside have a lot of irresponsible distributor. Sometime it is not the company problem, is the distributor. Like how I used to be cheated by another company, but it was not because the product issue, is the distributor. So trust yourself and trust your body. It doesn't lie to you.

Hello, I tried this product once and nothing happened. It was the 3 day strict diet one. Then I decided to give it another shot and tried the shake. I literally gained weight and it was scary how quickly I did. I was using it for a month. I think my hormones may have been messed up due to this product.

Here’s the thing, I have Crohn's, my constipation is absolutely ridiculous. I can’t eat a lot of foods either, ( I have an ulcer). I started using Herballife about 3 years ago, on and off during my flare-ups. It helped me a lot, I honestly would not use it to lose weight, but the shakes help with my constipation, and they help me get something substantial in my body. I use a lot of the “extras” to add to my shake. I also have a family friend who sales me the products at 50% off, so it’s not killing my wallet. If that wasn’t an option I’m honestly not sure if I’d use them as much as I do, mostly because of their priciness.

Hi Everyone. Hello to all my Friends. My name is Rakesh ** and I remember my very first day when I saw one of my friend result and when he shared it's with the help of Herbalife. I did a lot of Googling and that time also came to this website and got confused rather to start my journey with Herbalife Nutrition or not. But today it has more than four years I am using this nutrition Products and feel Extremely Energetic. Let me clear few things guys which you all might confused when you go through reviews. 1. Herbalife is not a weight loss company. It's nutrition company which help you provide the meal replacement which fulfill all your nutrition needs. It's low in calories & high in Nutrition. 2. If you think this product will help you to lose weight you are totally wrong because Herbalife Distributors give the same nutrition for Weight Loss & Weight Gain so what is the difference.
The Difference is Calories Management. If you consume the shake and make deficit in your calories, follow healthy active lifestyle, you gonna lose the weight but at the same time if you consume the shake and at the same time you take your meal there will be no Result. Maybe you gonna gain some Weight. So what is the conclusion Guys. The Conclusion is if you want to drop body fat remember this nutrition just support you to complete your body nutrition needs. So if you follow healthy active Lifestyle, cut down off your extra calories, follow your coach guidelines, you gonna lose body weight...
My experience with this nutrition is I am using this from last 5 years. With the help of good Nutrition Healthy ACTIVE LIFESTYLE and right support my coach I lost 14 kg of body weight. Now I know exactly how many calories I have to consume throughout the day and I do follow it. Result my Weight is Maintain. So stop being misguided Guys. Just check does your coach have enough consumers and what does he promote? Only herbalife or Herbalife with Coach Education and overall Lifestyle Improvement all factors play important role for your body Transformation. Hope my review will help you to take a right decision. Thanks.

I ordered from Herbalife about 2 months ago and paid for a 2-7 business day shipping. I gave it a month before calling them. They had yet to even ship my order out, so it wasn't like it got lost in the mail or anything. I reached out to the distributor I made the purchase from initially and she wasn't helpful at all. She seemed more interested in selling me more products than anything. She said that she would take care of it but nothing happened so, I reached out to her again a week later, but she never responded. I called the company and they were somewhat helpful. They filed the complaint for me.
However, they said they would reach out to the distributor themselves and if they couldn't get a hold of her within 3 days they would reach back out to me and move forward with the process but they never did. I called them back over a week later curious what was going on with my refund. All they said was it was going to be another month. This order was less than $50 including the shipping, plus they already have all my information to give the refund. I have never received such poor customer service from a company before.

I am very skeptical of reviews that get either a one or a five because more than likely emotion is a trigger factor in such extreme cases. I noticed that many of the ones that were given had to do with some "negative" experience that really has nothing to do with the products themselves. If you do the research you will find several scientific peer reviewed articles about Herbalife products and its effect on health.
No causation study has shown anything inherently wrong with the current Herbalife products themselves as having a negative effect on human health. However, there have been studies that showed a correlation between liver toxicity and high doses of green tea extract, comfrey and even aloe in rare cases. Also, anything can be considered toxic without moderation or if a food supplement is heavily relied upon without a nutritionally balanced approach. That is what seems to be the case in all of the reviews on this topic concerning Herbalife Products that got bad reviews.
My own experience with this product has been a good one because I try to take a very nutritionally balanced approach when it comes to supplements. I am 53 years old and before I started taking these supplements I weighed 197 and had low energy issues. After 3 months of a good balanced diet and Herbalife supplements, I have decreased my weight by 7 pounds and can run a mile under 7 minutes. Before taking these supplements I ran close to an 8 minute mile. My 43 year old fiance, who has been taking these supplements for 14 years, has never been sick enough to go to a clinic for any reason during that time.
So, what does the research say about products like Herbalife and their effect on human health. One peer reviewed scientific study: "A critical analysis of the hepatotoxicity cases described in the literature related to Herbalife® products" - Brazilian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences concluded that, "The correct and rational use of the supplements and dietetic formulations can contribute to promoting health and could yield benefits for users."
Why do I give this topic a 4 instead of a 5? Well, that has more to do with the cost and the fact that you may end up with a bad distributor than anything else. There is no correlation between these products and loss of hair, stress, back pain (which is ridiculous) or any other serious health issue. The fact that you have millions of satisfied long term users and relatively very few reported issues is probably due to other external or internal health issues that exist while taking this product. If you do not believe me then do the research (and secondary non-peer reviewed studies is not good research - also called science tabloid literature).

I Used their shakes for weight loss and it's a total loss. I bought this product as I have been told by an associate that it's very good for weight loss and that he himself used it for weight management. I followed each and every step what he told me but there was no result. I was not able to lose even 1 kilo of weight. Then he again said that you will have to continue with the supplement to see results. I again trusted him and I am very sorry to say that this was a very bad experience. They lie, cheat you and take your hard earned money... 1 word cheaters, liars...

I thought I’d try the protein coffee to keep me from getting hungry through the morning. It seemed harmless and did work to curb my appetite. I’m seeing lots of people who have lost weight on these products according to their reviews! Good for you but you must know that there are lots of products that help you lose weight. You can even lose it the old fashioned way with traditional diet and exercise which is probably the healthiest way.
After reading a large number of reviews I have come to this conclusion, I’m not taking the chance with this stuff! I too experienced the heart palpitations & seemed to have a case of pancreatitis! My liver didn’t like this product! This had nothing to do with the shop who sold it or bad communication with the seller. YOU CHECK IT OUT FOR YOURSELF IF YOU MUST & if you have problems then write a review based on your experience. I’m not saying you will experience the same things I did but is it worth it to find out? Also check out the research on this product!

If I could give this company no stars I would. I have never seen such a horrible level of customer service in my life. Not only did it take me almost a week to get anyone to respond to my concerns but I also paid for an order to be delivered overnight and didn't receive it for 2 weeks. When presenting the problem to Herbalife they claimed they would give me a full refund and it would take 3-5 business days which is the least they could do given the circumstances that it was their fault I had not received my products yet. That was a week ago yesterday. So I reached out to once again check the status of my refund and they completely took back saying they would refund me at all!
I save the transcript which states that I will get my refund. I would not recommend this company to anyone that actually wants to do a consistent reliable challenge. This company is known to be a pyramid scheme and this just proves that all they care about is money and not making their customers happy. Beyond disappointing.

Is a scam and handles business in a very unethical way. They take advantage of the old and uneducated victims who are lured by misinformation, chasing a goal that’s always so close to reach but never a reality, I invested so much and when they realized I was no longer useful they discarded me like they did to others complaining. Companies like this have always been getting away with it because most people don’t know they can get their money back. Luckily I found someone in these comments called Alex, the most reliable Asset Recovery Agent who took on my case and made sure I recovered everything I lost. You can email him here; **.

I had lost 40lbs. with Herbalife products with no side effects. As with any diet or lifestyle change, you have to follow through to get results! Follow the routine: shake, snack, shake, snack, healthy meal. Snacks should be healthy! The distributors can be a little pushy, but my distributors were a great support system and wonderful cheerleaders for me! I was with the Baltimore, MD. community and the group is fun, supportive, and motivating. My experience has been great!

Herbalife is a fraud company. They are supplying duplicate/without barcode products to their customers. Their MD ** has also accepted without barcode if his company has sent me products then this is a big mistake. Company itself promotes of buying products directly from them instead of buying from outside. But this so called fraud company has supplied me product without barcode. I have been getting calls from Herbalife to handover them the boxes that doesn’t have the barcode. This means they are trying to capture the boxes in their custody so that I cannot raise a complaint against them. They are not at all bothered about my health. Although I have asked them multiple times to get my health checkup done. I have all the proofs available with me. Pl do not use their products. It's harmful for your health.

I became a member of Herbalife team through **. He used to be very helpful especially when he was getting me involved with the membership. I bought some products and later on couldn’t take them properly and couldn’t sell them as well. Then I gave up and change my mind to quit from the membership. I quit and sent them all products back to the company. But unfortunately couldn’t get my money back. It was cost me 700-800$ approximately. It has been one year and still unfortunately couldn’t take even one step forward. No one answers my inquiry. No one tells the truth.
The only truth I have so far, they are basically confiscating my money illegally. My bank told me there is no received money from Herbalife. Even the company told me they deposited the money into my account. My bank denies it officially. So I don’t like to deal with this company anymore but keep advertising this company with this worst reputation. Don’t get Herbalife if you don’t need a headache and big trouble.
