    Herbalife products have potential side effects you should be aware of. Because Herbalife contains a variety of ingredients, there is a potential for a variety of side effects depending on the product being used. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requires that all known side effects be listed on the label of each product, along with instructions regarding what to do should you experience any of these side effects. There is also the potential of interactions with prescription drugs, so it is important to contact your physician or pharmacist before starting this or any other type of weight loss program.

    This drug was found to cause primary pulmonary hypertension, and in 2004 the FDA outlawed the sale of ephedra. Herbalife then removed the ingredient from their products.

    Many Herbalife products contain caffeine as a stimulant and metabolism booster. Caffeine can cause high blood pressure, nervousness and headaches, especially when taken in excessive amounts.

    Soy and shellfish are two ingredients in Herbalife that could pose a threat for potential allergic reaction.

    Diarrhea and constipation have been reported by some individuals who used Herbalife supplements, especially in the first few weeks of use.

    Herbalife products have potential side effects, but the side effects according to the person habits and body nature. the product has use full Protien,minerals and vitamins etc. essential to our body. So the product can be used from small quantity to the requirement of the body/day with in 2 weeks at least. Then body may be adjusted to that food. Also the products should not stop suddenly after getting best results. The product should be maintained or can be stopped gradually descending quantity manner with in two weeks. After that, high minerals and vitamin and low fat food required to our body should be maintained along with proper daily supersize and 8 hours sleep a day. Now a days all crofts and fruits are cumming with effective chemicals for storage, fertility. The food items are with low values and high fats. So the herbal life products can be suggested for not only to maintain weight loss but also to overcome vitamin and protein inefficiency. Before using this multiple opinions should be taken as the requirement usage varied person to person according their chronic diseases and BMI etc.

  • I found some Herbal Life products in a drawer that i started taking again and now I have a rash all over my body that itches really bad. I just looked and the expiration date on them are 2009 so they're 7 years old. Would that be causing the rash??

    The UK have some of the toughest food, medication, and marketing regulations in the world. Herbalife products produced for the UK market are therefore safe and do what they say they will do. Simple answer.... buy from a UK registered distributer, not online. the products work and are safe. Don t buy potential fakes off EBAY. Simple!
