Herbalife International is it a Scam or is it Legal

By C Morris

Lets take a look at the Herbalife Home Business Opportunity to see if it is a scam or whether it is perfectly legal. Founded in 1980, by Mark Hughes. Through the tragic death of his mother, who had desperately tried to lose weight and died through medication for weight loss, this set Mark Hughes on his quest to find a safe way to lose weight for many others.

Products

In the U.S., all of their products comply with and are labelled according to FDA regulations. Outside of the U.S., Herbalife comply with and are regulated by the various ministries of health and food standards agencies of the 65 additional countries where they currently do business. Their Scientific Advisory Board (SAB) is made up of leading experts whose work furthers the field of nutritional science among them Dr Louis Ignarro, Nobel Prize Laureate.

Compensation Plan

It is relatively simple to become a "Supervisor" level distributor. When you become an Herbalife distributor, you are a basic "Distributor" and can earn your way towards 50k President level. It may take many years to get to that level. You gain levels by selling products and gaining volume points. Volume points for most products are equal to the manufacturers recommended selling price of the product and are based upon the US dollar value of the products.

Training and Support

Herbalife encourage team working and as such there are strands of different teams within Herbalife who all work to the same company ethics, but each strand develop their own training strategy for their teams. Trainees are also expected to attend a monthly Success Training Seminar (STS), these are held regionally in all 65 countries that Herbalife operate in. There is online training documentation and videos on the main Herbalife website for new distributors.

Conclusion

After researching Herbalife International, I found the company to be a genuine proven business opportunity that empowers people to achieve their dreams, financial freedom and the rewards of helping others. The products are true to their word and have proven to be first class products which provide weight loss and weight management results. With over 1million distributors worldwide and trading in over 65 countries globally I made a decision to join Herbalife as a Distributor. - 16650
