SCIENCE

Herbalife is committed to providing the highest quality products to its customers. The company’s research and development organization combines the experience of the company’s own product development specialists with a team of highly- accomplished scientists and doctors. Product research and development is directed by Chief Scientific Officer Steve Henig, Ph.D. Supporting the team is a Nutrition Advisory Board (NAB) made up of experts in the fields of nutrition and health and a Scientific Advisory Board (SAB), made up of leading experts whose work furthers the field of nutrition science, including Lou Ignarro, Ph.D., recipient of the 1998 Nobel Prize in Medicine. Both boards are chaired by David Heber, M.D., Ph.D., professor of medicine and public health at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) School of Medicine. Herbalife is advancing dietary supplement research and development through several venues. In 2003, Herbalife awarded a grant to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) Center for Human Nutrition to establish the Mark Hughes Cellular and Molecular Nutrition Laboratory to further advance research in human nutritional science. Additionally, the company recently opened a new 10,000 sq ft Product and Science Center at its South Bay facility in Torrance, Calif. In August 2007, the company awarded a research grant to the National Center for Natural Products Research at the University of Mississippi School of Pharmacy. The grant will allow NCNPR scientists to identify and study the biologically active chemicals found in botanicals, which may be used in the development of future dietary supplements and skin care products for Herbalife.

SPORTS SPONSORSHIP

In March 2007, the company announced a five-year, multimillion dollar expansion of its agreement with AEG making Herbalife the presenting sponsor of the Los Angeles Galaxy. The agreement gives Herbalife on-jersey exposure for its brand beginning with the 2007 season.

MARK HUGHES CELLULAR AND MOLECULAR NUTRITION LAB

Mission

The Mark Hughes Cellular & Molecular Nutrition Laboratory has been established at the UCLA Center for Human Nutrition through a generous donation from Herbalife. Our mission is to advance nutritional science to new levels of understanding by using the most progressive research and development technologies available. As a result, we will lead the way in developing new scientific standards in the fields of nutrition and herbal medicine through the use of state-of-the-art methods to identify the complex families of active compounds in herbs and to study their actions on living cells. Ultimately, we seek to make a positive difference in people’s lives through highly effective herbal approaches to weight management and optimum wellness.

Leading the Nutritional Revolution

The donation to establish the Mark Hughes Cellular & Molecular Nutrition Lab is just one of many examples of Herbalife’s dedication to explore nutritional frontiers in order to help humanity achieve optimum wellness and an improved quality of life. This commitment began with Mark Hughes, the founder and inspiration of Herbalife, whose quest to improve people’s health through weight loss and better nutrition led him to gather a team of medical and nutritional experts to create the Herbalife formulas.

A Powerful Opportunity For Change

The new lab will enable UCLA researchers for the first time to fingerprint herbs using a method called “Multidimensional Profiling.” While many laboratories have used chemical methods to identify herbal products, the UCLA lab will routinely couple this chemical profiling with tests of the effects of herbs on living cells. Going forward, Herbalife intends to take full advantage of the expertise at UCLA and other major universities by committing to support research that will utilize herbs that have been identified and profiled using these state-of-the-art techniques.

A Tradition of Excellence

The Mark Hughes Cellular & Molecular Nutrition Lab is located at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). Founded in 1919, UCLA is distinguished by a long history of academic and research excellence.

• UCLA Medical Center: Consistently ranked “Best Hospital in the West.”
• Credentials: Five faculty Nobel Prizes and nine National Medals of Science.
• Leading-Edge Research: In the top five universities for research funding.
• Admissions: One of the most sought-after universities in the nation (36,000+students).

Poised for the Future

Herbalife is fast becoming the standard by which all wellness companies are measured. Research and product development hold the promise for the future. By strengthening the link between these two, Herbalife’s future looks very healthy, indeed.
