No. The glycemic index (GI) has not been determined for our products. However, Formula 1 is considered to have a low GI since the carbohydrate source is fructose. Fructose is categorized as a low GI sugar which, when combined with protein and fiber (such as in our Formula 1 shake), can also help provide a lower GI.
You can use some products. Many of the shakes contain milk ingredients, which are not lactose-free. If you are lactose intolerant, you should use products that indicate "lactose-free" or “free from dairy” on the label. Currently, the water-mixable Instant Formula 1 Vanilla Dream and Chocolate are labeled as "lactose-free". Also, the Formula 1 Allergen-Free Healthy Meal Nutritional Shake Mix is “free from dairy” and other allergens.
No. Herbalife® products are not designed to be a high-protein diet. They are part of a balanced nutritional program. We recommend 30 percent of your total daily calories come from protein. Our recommendation for protein is conservative and safe for healthy individuals.

All nutritional supplementation during pregnancy should be discussed with your prenatal physician.

New moms should give their body time to adjust to the various changes that occur during pregnancy and after delivery. A strict calorie-reduced diet is not recommended during breastfeeding, since breast milk production and quality can be affected by low calories. There is an increased need of about 300 to 500 calories while breastfeeding. With guidance from your doctor, moderate exercise may promote some weight and inch loss. If you are lactating, you should not use any products, unless you are reviewed and cleared by your doctor.
Individuals with medical conditions are advised to consult their personal physician prior to beginning use of any product because it is likely that they have protein intake limitations as well as other dietary restrictions that require guidance.

Both plant-based soy protein and whey protein from dairy milk have been shown to help build and maintain lean body mass. Although not as rapidly digested and absorbed by the body as whey protein, soy protein does help support lean muscle mass. For many years, a score called Biological Value was used to measure the quality of protein. Whey generally scored much higher than soy because of its unique composition. However, current research shows a more appropriate measure called the Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score (PDCAAS). Both soy and whey have a PDCAAS score of 1.0.

We understand that there are consumers who prefer not to use non-nutritive sweeteners, but we are limited by the sweeteners that are approved for use. More than 100 studies have been conducted on sucralose. These studies have been evaluated over a 20-year period and clearly demonstrated its safety. It is the only non-nutritive sweetener that is made from sugar, and only a very small amount of sucralose is used in Herbalife® products.
Our Product Development team is exploring the use of stevia. However, we are confident in the safety of sweeteners currently being used. We will offer additional sweetening options as these ingredients are found to provide the same standard of quality that we continue to maintain with current formulations.
