Global Nutrition Advisory Board
Among the many features that make Herbalife Nutrition stand out, the company is proud of their Nutritional Advisory Board (NAB). This global team of nutritional experts provide both dietary advice and scientific leadership. A representative of the NAB tours Australia on an annual wellness tour of major cities, offering free public talks to share their practical nutritional tips, easy ways to achieve balanced nutrition, and ways to incorporate exercise into each day.
Ongoing training
Herbalife Nutrition is also proud to provide ongoing training and support to their Independent Members. This is achieved through regular meetings and sales training sessions held monthly in each state. There is also a range of downloadable resources available on their member website.
For example, former UK Olympian, Samantha Clayton, shares practical exercise tips. Susan Bowerman, the Senior Director of Worldwide Nutrition Education and Training at Herbalife Nutrition, provides unique recipes and nutrition resources that members can access and share with their customers. The aim is to constantly improve knowledge of health and nutrition and help members build their business.
Innovative products
As far as product innovation is concerned, the company responded to the global trend towards plant-based proteins by launching Formula 1 Select: a nutrient-dense meal replacement shake formulated with pea, quinoa and rice proteins. It does not contain any GMO ingredients, is dairy and gluten-free. To sum up, it’s a clean and healthy option for today’s selective consumer.
Herbalife Nutrition is the number one brand in the world for meal replacements, protein supplements and weight management according to Euromonitor International Limited (2019).

The company’s sports nutrition brand Herbalife24 demonstrates their commitment to quality assurance. The comprehensive performance nutrition line has been developed to power athletes 24-hours a day. Each batch of Herbalife24 products are tested for substances prohibited in sport in Australia and New Zealand. Batch testing is done by BSCG and Informed Sports.

This includes Sunshine Butterflies, which specialises in providing information, support, resources and activity programs to people and families living with a disability.
