1. WHAT ARE THESE PRODUCTS?
They are scientifically formulated, herbal-based, calorie-reduced
nutritional products. At the center of our product line is our 'star'- our
unique high-energy, protein-rich, nutritional replacement drink, Formula
1, to which has been added food supplements containing important vitamins,
minerals, essential fatty acids and nutritional herbs. When combined with
our Formula 2 product, you are receiving 100% of the 38 nutrients you need
everyday. Our programs have been used for weight control and health
enhancement since 1980, by literally millions of individuals around the
world.
2. DO YOU LOSE WEIGHT BECAUSE YOU SKIP MEALS?
No. Our calorie-reduced Program encourages participants to eat three meals
daily. Two usual meals are in the form of our nutritionally balanced meal
replacement drink, and the third is any meal of your choice. Diets which
require people to skip meals are unhealthy and stimulate binge eating.
3. IS THIS A "LIQUID PROTEIN" OR STARVATION DIET?
Absolutely not! We are neither of these. Our programs ensure everyone
receives at least 1000 calories daily and is nutritionally complete so
individuals can lose weight safely and effectively, and, just as
important, keep it off. "Liquid protein" diets, which use nutritionally
unbalanced protein-based drinks, or starvation diets, which reduce
calories so low (less than 500 calories daily) that people literally
starve to lose weight, are both extremely unhealthy and have less than 20%
long-term success.
4. HOW DOES YOUR PRODUCT WORK?
Our products supply all the balanced nutrition the body needs on a daily
basis- 100% of the 38 essential nutrients. We call it
Cellular Nutrition - feeding the cells of your body to encourage the
reproduction of even healthier cells, eventually replacing the old
unhealthy ones. Individuals, who choose to, can lose excess weight by
reducing excess calories without sacrificing important nutrients like
protein, potassium and iron. As a result, they feel their best while they
lose both excess weight and inches!
5. ARE YOUR PRODUCTS NATURAL?
Our programs are based entirely on nutrition and herbs. The program does
not use drugs, medications, hormones or other synthetic agents to promote
weight loss. All ingredients we use must fulfill three important
conditions: purity, potency and stability. This is how we maintain the
high level of quality associated with our name.
6. WHAT CAUSES THE FEELING OF INCREASED ENERGY? IS IT CAFFEINE?
The weight loss and energy-enhancing effects of our programs are a result
of its scientifically balanced nutritional formula. They are not due to
caffeine or any natural or synthetic stimulant. Our 100% herbal guarana
product, Nature's Energy, contains pure guarana which has a naturally
occurring caffeine content of about 30mg per tablet (the same as a small
cola drink). No chemical caffeine is added to our guarana product, and
there is absolutely no caffeine in any other product.
7. ARE THE VITAMIN LEVELS, LIKE VITAMIN A HIGH? ARE THEY SAFE?
The levels of vitamins and minerals in all our formulas are carefully
designed to ensure that individuals consuming them will not develop
deficiencies or excesses. All of our formulas are created to ensure that
all individuals, regardless of their nutritional needs, receive optimum
nutrition. Studies demonstrate there is no "buildup" of vitamins or
minerals associated with the use of our products, including Vitamin A. In
formulating our products we have taken special care to ensure that Vitamin
A levels are completely safe and never lead to accumulation, even when
consumed together with a diet rich in Vitamin A.
8. WHAT DO THE HERBS DO AND ARE THEY SAFE?
Herb's are nature's nutritional bounty. They are rich sources of vitamins,
minerals, fiber and related nutrients essential for good health. The
herbal mixtures used in our products have been created by experts to
maximize nutritional potency. The herbs are the highest quality available
anywhere in the world and are free of pesticide residue and other possible
contaminants. Tableting of the herbal mixtures occurs under strict quality
control to ensure both purity and safety.
9. CAN EVERYONE USE YOUR PRODUCTS?
Yes. Since our products are 100% nutritional food supplements they are
safe for everyone. There is no possibility of an interaction with
prescription drugs because our products are herbal based. If you are
pregnant, expecting or have high blood pressure we recommend using the
Refresh versions of our weight loss programs. If you have adverse
reactions to caffeine you may want to avoid using the Herbal Concentrate
Tea and the NRG tablets/tea. If you have any dietary restrictions given to
you by your doctor, please inform us of these so that we can tailor a
program to your specific needs.
10. DOES THE FDA HAVE A PROBLEM WITH YOUR PRODUCTS? ARE THEY APPROVED?
In 1986 the U.S. Food and Drug Administration thoroughly evaluated our
product line and issued a statement declaring that all of our products
were safe. However, the FDA does not actually approve any nutritional
product or food supplement, only drugs, medications and medical devices.
In addition, whenever our products are introduced into a new country, it
is reviewed by that country's government before it is approved for
importation and distribution.
11. HAVE YOUR PROGRAMS BEEN TESTED?
Absolutely. Our programs have had extensive clinical testing in the United
States and Great Britain. All of the studies have demonstrated that our
products are safe and effective on both a short term and long term basis.
In addition, each batch of products is quality control tested to ensure
product integrity before it is shipped anywhere in the world.
12. ARE INDEPENDENT
HERBALIFE DISTRIBUTORS PROFESSIONALLY
TRAINED?
No. Our weight control program has been specifically designed by experts
and doctors in the fields of food technology and nutritional medicine so
that it is completely self-explanatory and therefore does not require or
expect nutritional expertise on the part of its distributors. However, our
Medical and Scientific Advisory Board offers its distributors extensive
nutritional education in the form of literature, tapes and seminars.
13. DOES YOUR PROGRAM CHANGE EATING HABITS?
Definitely. Our programs promote good nutritional habits like reducing
fat, fried foods, salt and sugar in the diet and increasing fiber and
complex carbohydrates. Most important, we teach individuals how to achieve
and maintain an ideal weight. It is a health program that works for
everyone.
14. IS EXERCISE A PART OF YOUR PROGRAM?
We encourage participants to follow a healthy life style that includes
good nutrition, regular exercise, moderation in the use of alcohol and
avoiding tobacco use. However, our program works even if individuals do
not or cannot exercise. Many people cannot exercise because of serious
injuries or other health problems. Even those individuals can use our
program to lose weight successfully.
15. IS THERE ENOUGH FLUID AND FIBER IN YOUR PROGRAMS?
Yes. When followed as recommended, our program provides approximately four
pints of liquid and 25 grams of fiber. This is more than is found in the
average diet of industrialized countries and is the level recommended by
health authorities world-wide. Supplemental fiber tablets are available
for those who wish to further increase their daily fiber intake.
16. ARE YOUR PROGRAMS RECOMMENDED BY DOCTORS?
Absolutely. We have a Medical and Scientific Advisory Board that tests and
researches our products and continually monitors reports of results sent
by customers and distributors. In addition, many physicians and other
professionals in all parts of the world use our products and recommend
them to their patients. If we have not answered your questions here,
