In our discussion, we will look at one such product seller which is quite well known in the US markets for providing nutritional products and management tools. However, it is important to learn about the authenticity of these products.
Herbalife products are available from several distributors because of the wide network that it has created over the years. Nevertheless, there are some tricky marketing tactics used these days which can fool customers into buying the products without them realizing that they have been conned. We will take a look at whether Herbalife is one of those sellers or if it’s completely safe to buy from. [/read]
What is Herbalife?
The nutrition company is based in the United States and has been operational for nearly 36 years. Herbalife provides health and weight management products to the customers. It’s not just a seller, in fact, it offers business groups an opportunity to earn extra money which can come at the cost of general public health.
[read more=”Click here to Read More” less=”Read Less”]It is important to note that Herbalife is an MLM company. Therefore the business structure can be considered a bit controversial. On the one hand, Herbalife sells their products directly to the customers and on the other, they distribute among local resellers. Therefore, it rings bells in the minds of a buyer whether the product quality is up to the mark or if it’s another strategy to earn more customers.
Herbalife claims to have won several recognitions and awards in its 36-year stint. Therefore, many unaware readers are likely to trust the company blindly. However, we will look into details whether it’s worth buying from Herbalife [/read]

Herbalife Pricing
Since there are hundreds of products available at this website, it is quite difficult to mention a specific pricing for this website. Therefore, mentioning pricing details for direct buyers is quite impossible.
However, for resellers and distributors, there is a gold plan available. The pricing is not mentioned at the website which is a bit of a drawback. However, here are some general instructions for resellers:
- You can start up at any price. There is no minimum price.
- 100% Refunds are available in case of cancellation of distributorship.
- Unopened products can be refunded for 100% refund.

Herbalife Pros
There are several advantages of this selling site. It entirely depends on the packages and products that you buy from this website. Here is a quick look at some of the plus points of Herbalife.

Herbalife Cons
There seem to be quite a few loopholes in this product. Here are a few of them:
- Since it’s MLM based business, there is a direct share for the distributor sales. Hence, it might tempt Herbalife into making lesser effective products so that they can sell more.
- The pricing plans are not mentioned at the website which can create doubts regarding the authenticity of the product.
- The product quality is questionable as some customers were found complaining. It suggested that the Herbalife products caused stomach disorders to users.
- The products can cause mental disorders.
What Users are Saying about Herbalife
There seem to be quite a few users of Herbalife products. You can find several reviews about this website on neutral platforms. However, having more reviews doesn’t qualify the product as a good one. Same is the case with Herbalife as you will find users generally complaining about the products that they have used.
[read more=”Click here to Read More” less=”Read Less”]Many customers suggested that the initial products from Herbalife are satisfactory. However, after a week or two, the negative effects on health start to appear. Some customers also suggested that the products are quite expensive.
Many customers complained of deteriorating health and sickness problems after using Herbalife products. One general observation is that most customers feel more tired ever since they have started using Herbalife shakes. You will also find customers asking new users to avoid Herbalife due to their bad experiences. It indicates that the product quality is not the best.[/read]
It Is Popular?
To get an unbiased opinion regarding the website, we turned to neutral website reviewing platforms. However, things don’t change much, and Herbalife’s online presence is another questionable factor when it comes to the authenticity of this website and its products.
[read more=”Click here to Read More” less=”Read Less”]SimilarWeb indicates that the website’s ranking is quite low. Among the services of its own type, it ranks beyond 1200 which is self-explanatory as to how ‘popular’ this website actually is. Also, as compared to the last year, the monthly traffic at this website has also gone down.
It had just about 670,000 visits last month. For a website which attracts businesses and individuals, this number is not all that great. Among international rankings, Herbalife comes after 73,500 websites, and within the United States, it ranks among the top 29,000 websites.
According to Alexa, Herbalife ranks beyond the 76,000th spot in international rankings. Within the United States, comes after 30,000 websites which are not a great ranking for a website of such magnitude.
The stats clearly suggest that Herbalife has a lot of catching up to do if it is to do well in the digital market. With these facts and figures, it is not all that smart to take services from this website.[/read]
Conclusion
Based on my findings, it won’t be the best of the options to go for Herbalife products. Although the website’s interface promises much to the readers, its actual products are questionable for both quality and pricing. Also, for distributors, there can be a few complexities as there is nothing mentioned about the pricing they might be offered. The lack of information makes it doubtful for a new customer to trust the brand.
[read more=”Click here to Read More” less=”Read Less”]If we were to give you a suggestion, it is better to avoid Herbalife and look for alternative options. Even after being such a promising website, its online popularity is not compelling enough to engage new customers.
There are numerous platforms out there which offer better information clarity and set of features. Until the time Herbalife doesn’t match them, it is better to avoid the website to save your precious time and effort.[/read]

I constantly hear about Herbalife products and as a business for some people to get into. So, I can appreciate your review on this. From everything I’m reading about it now, I have to agree with you– it does not seem like the best option to go with. If the quality of the product is questionable, that alone deters me immediately. Not worth it!
Hi,
Herbalife is a Multi-Level Marketing company and as such you should be wary when joining. There are better platforms that offer better ways in making money online.
Thanks for the comments,

Hi there, I know Herbalife has been around for some time since I have come across it many times over the last 10 years or so. Even though it is a long established company I agree with others when they say if a company or product can’t be upfront with pricing, then red flags should be going up. I to have seen many negative reviews and will be avoiding this company.
Hi Mark,
Herbalife has been operating for a very long time but if you see the red flags, it is better to avoid it.
Thanks for the comments,

I’ve heard a lot of bad things about Herbalife – although you often see the distributors in my area driving really fancy cars, but still…
A big red flag for me is when a company doesn’t provide transparent pricing – even if there are levels or grades of price plans, we (the customer) are not too stupid to take it in!
Thanks
Joe
Hi Joe,
I agree with you. It is safer to avoid Multi-Level Marketing. That is the reason why I always recommend affiliate marketing over MLM.
Thanks for the comments,

Interesting and thorough review, thank you! I think it’s best to steer clear from products such as Herbalife as I believe in real whole-foods instead of processed products. Affiliate marketing provides so much more opportunity and allows you to be yourself and promote whatever you want! I completely agree with you that affiliate marketing is a much better option. Thank you for the review.
Hi Jess,
Whole foods and affiliate marketing. What a good combination to be healthy and make money. I do believe that affiliate marketing is much better than engaging in multi-level marketing. I agree with you totally about whole foods. I am into raw diet by juicing and blending raw vegetables.
Thanks for the comments,
Den
I am glad you wrote an article on Herbalife. Although Herbalife has been operating a long time now, and while some of the products are really effective, some of them are not that good and cannot be guaranteed to work. What you have said is correct that it is better to invest time and effort into affiliate marketing business than into a multilevel scheme. I fully agree with you.
Hi Amit,
You cannot go wrong with affiliate marketing. If you have a good website, people will come to you and signup as referrals. Whereas in a multilevel marketing, you really have to chase people to have referrals. Not to mention selling those overpriced products to your referrals as well.
Thanks for your comments,
Den
My wife has tried the Herbalife products and she was quite happy with it but she did find it too expensive. I have heard other people who has been satisified with it as well so it probably works for some people.
However I find the products too expensive and I personally doubt that you really need this to stay healthy and or to loose weight.
I have been in touch with a local distributor of Herbalife but I must say that there are other, better business opportunities around. Herbalife is expensive and there is no lack of “Health” products in the shops or pharmacies so I would look for other things to sell
Hi Jojo,
I agree with you. If you are selling an expensive product and doubting the effectiveness at the same time, it is better to look for other business opportunities.
