BACKGROUND ON HERBALIFE
Herbalife was born in 1980, when the founder, Mark Hughes, made it his mission to find a safe and effective way to assist people to control weight and maintain a healthy lifestyle. This passion arose due to Mark losing his mother when she had an accidental overdose of a combination of prescription dietary and sleeping tablets. She was 36 at the time, and Mark only 18. After attending an herbal symposium on Chinese Herbs, Mark went to D&F Industries to combine the ancient Eastern wisdom with Western technology.
Today Herbalife is a state of the art public trading company, headed up by a dream team of professionals. It listed on the New York Stock Exchange December 2005.
