Premier wellness company and community, Herbalife, announced today that five recent research studies by its team of Quality Assurance scientists have been published across several international peer-reviewed journals. The articles share the company’s best practices in validating herbal ingredients, identifying compound sampling techniques and other processes involved in the rigorous testing that goes into Herbalife products around the world. The acceptance and publication of these studies underscore the global nutrition company’s commitment to scientific research, transparency, and accountability, driving consumer confidence and helping people live their best lives.

“Nutrition science and good manufacturing practices are fundamental to our high-quality products and their effects on health as well as lifestyle behaviors,” said Gary Swanson, MSc, senior vice president of Global Quality Assurance and Control at Herbalife. “As a leader in the industry, we’ll continue to invest in scientific testing and sourcing of quality ingredients so that we can continue to meet product claims and efficacy and build consumer trust.”

Herbalife’s global team of scientists, Ph.D.s, and other health and medical professionals ensure that, from sourcing the ingredients to their final packaging, its products go through numerous checks, including quality assurance, safety, science, regulatory, sensory, and label design.
