Herbalife (Do-it-yourself Meal Replacements Plan)
Company Summary Herbalife, until July 2002, was a public company. It was then taken private by an investor group, in partnership with some of the company’s distributors and senior management. As a result of the merger, the company is now privately owned. Founded in 1980, Herbalife became one of the world’s largest weight management and nutritional supplements companies, conducting business in 59 nations in the Asia/Pacific Rim, Europe, and the Americas. It went public in 1987. The firm has retail sales of $1.8 billion and claims to have 1+ million independent distributors. The company's products aren't available in stores. In July 1992, Herbalife launched an international expansion that made its weight loss products and vitamins available in a dozen nations. In recent years, the company diversified its product offerings by substantially expanding its personal care product line to include skin care, perfumes, hair care, body lotions, color cosmetics, soaps and gel products, and by expanding food and dietary supplement products. How The Weight Loss Program Works Herbalife now offers a calorie-controlled and a carbohydrate-controlled approach to weight loss. This diet plan uses 2 shakes per day as meal replacements, plus one regular food meal. As a do-it-yourself weight loss program, Herbalife products are distributed exclusively through a multi-level marketing system consisting of an extensive network of distributors, who work on a full-time or part-time basis. Distributors may earn profits by purchasing the company’s products at wholesale prices. Second, distributors may earn profits by selling products to other distributors who do not qualify for the same level of discount as the selling distributor. Third, distributors who sponsor other distributors and establish their own distributor organizations may earn royalties and production bonuses on sales generated by distributors within their organizations.
ShapeWorksÔ Program In May of 2004, Herbalife announced ShapeWorksÔ , a personalized approach to weight loss. Herbalife’s proprietary ShapescanÔ Body Analysis is the first step in the ShapeWorksÔ personalized program. It is a non-invasive electronic scan to show potential customers their lean body mass, how many calories they burn at rest and target weight. The resulting print-out recommends a person’s customized protein needs for building and maintaining lean muscle mass, enabling them to personalize their protein consumption. The ShapeWorksÔ shake is a key part of this diet program, and contains a combination of soy and whey proteins. The ShapeWorksÔ program claims to be rounded out with science-based Multivitamin Complex tablets; Herbalifeline, a source of Omega-3 fatty acids; and tablets of Garden7Ô . Garden 7 is a new ShapeWorksÔ exclusive supplement to provide phytonutrients missing from the typical diet...
