Products[edit] Herbalifes product range includes protein shakes, protein snacks, nutrition, energy and fitness supplements and personal care products.[15] The Formula 1 protein shake, a soy-based meal-replacement shake, is the companys number one product and was one of the first products sold by the company. The range also includes products for heart health, digestive health, skin care, and the new 24 sports line released in 2011. Some products are vegetarian, kosher, allergen free[16] or halal, and Herbalife provides testimonials and advice from health professionals as part of their product marketing. According to the 2009 Form 10-K, many of its weight management, nutritional and personal care products are manufactured by third-party manufacturing companies, with the exception of products distributed in and sourced from China, where they have their own manufacturing facility, and several products are produced in its manufacturing facility in Lake Forest, California (renovated 2011[17]). Herbalife is currently making modifications to its recently acquired manufacturing facility in order to increase capability and capacity, and upon completion of these modifications, expect to increase self manufacturing.[18]:16 Herbalife in June 2013 announced the opening of a plant in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, in a facility previously occupied by Dell; the facility was expected to open in 2014 and employ 500.[19] In October 2010, Herbalife held a groundbreaking ceremony in Changsha, Hunan Province, China for its botanical extraction facility for its inner and outer nutrition products. The new facility opened in early 2013.[20] The new extraction facility purchases botanicals directly from farms in Hunan province, China and other regions, performs extraction and other conversion processes and then sends these processed raw materials directly to Herbalifes manufacturing facilities in Suzhou, China and Lake Forest, California, or to its third party manufacturers throughout the world. The new extraction plant produces botanical extracts, including teas, guarana, chamomile, broccoli and bilberry, among others, for use in many of its products.
