Herbalife Nutrition Ltd. Dietary Supplements

Herbalife Nutrition Ltd. is an American multinational corporation specializing in dietary supplements, protein supplements, personal care, and sports nutrition products. Founded in 1980 by Mark R. Hughes, the company is headquartered in Los Angeles, California, and operates in 95 countries with approximately 8,900 employees worldwide. The company is incorporated in the Cayman Islands, a tax haven, with its corporate headquarters located in Los Angeles, California. Herbalife's products are produced at the company's five manufacturing facilities in the U.S. and China, as well as by third-party manufacturing partners. The company's production process is based on a 'seed to feed' strategy, which allows it to trace where the ingredients in its nutritional products originated. Since 2013, the company has operated a botanical extraction facility in Changsha, Hunan Province, China. The facility produces botanical extracts, including teas, guarana, chamomile, broccoli, and bilberry, for use in many of the company's products. Before extracts are processed, they undergo a botanical identification program and are tested several times throughout the production process. The processed raw materials from the extraction facility are used at all of the company's branded manufacturing facilities as well as by its partners. As of 2015, 58% of the company's nutrition products were manufactured at Herbalife-owned facilities.
