Other nutritional products offered by Herbalife range from dietary supplements made from vitamins, minerals and herbs to personal care products emphasizing nutritional and herbal ingredients, such as aloe vera and vitamin C. As of 2005, it is not immediately clear what method Herbalife's weight loss products employ[citation needed], although the nutritional ingredients are listed on the product. Recent advertisements indicate that the current philosophy is one of meal replacement via diet shakes, and nutritional supplements. Companys research and development is primarily performed by outside consultants and that 2005 Herbalife had not incurred any material R&D costs. [edit] Health Concerns Some of the original Herbalife weight loss products contained the active ingredient Ma Huang or Sida cordifolia, two herbs containing ephedrine alkaloids. Adverse reactions involving the company's Thermojetics original green tablets were recorded by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and Herbalife subsequently stopped using ephedrine in its products in the face of rising insurance premiums.[13][14] The U.S. FDA banned supplements containing ephedra in 2004.[15] Scientific studies in 2007 by doctors at the University Hospital of Bern in Switzerland and the Liver Unit of the Hadassah-Hebrew University Medical Center in Israel found an association between consumption of Herbalife products and hepatitis.[16][17] In response, the Spanish Ministry of Health issued an alert asking for caution in consuming Herbalife products.[18] Herbalife has stated they are cooperating fully with Spanish authorities.[19]Supporters and merchants involved with Herbalife contend that it is a genuine and profitable multi-level marketing business opportunity. Critics of Herbalife contend that it is a Pyramid scheme[32] and that the company has not made enough effort to curb abuses by individual distributors. Herbalife has consistently denied such allegations and stated that its business model is fully legal.[33] Herbalife is a member of the Direct Selling Association in most countries in which it operates.
