Answer Ruthel,
Herbalife as a company has a very dubious record. It is definately a multilevel marketing scheme. Many people consider the HerbaLife "family" of distributors as a kind of cult. It's products and ingredients seem to change whichever way the wind blows the fad diet market.
Herbalife is know for the signs you see nailed to telephone poles all over town that say "Work From Home - $1500/mo part-time - $5000/mo full-time" and also "Lose Weight Now, Ask Me How".
Some health experts questioned the effectiveness of the company's nutritional supplements; Herbalife claimed to increase energy and cure a range of illnesses from venereal disease to bee stings. California's state health department determined that Herbalife's self-professed "natural lift" was deceiving. The reason: "Defendants misleadingly fail to disclose that one of the product's active ingredients is caffeine."
In 1986, Herbalife settled with the state of California, paying $850,000 in fines and agreeing to remove two products from the market: Tang Quei Plus for menstrual cramps, and K-8, which was said to relieve stress.
