As part of their commitment to research and development of advanced nutritional supplements, Herbalife established a Cellular and Molecular Nutrition research facility at UCLA. The lab is headed up by Dr. David Heber, Professor and Medicine and Public Health at UCLA and Founding Director of the UCLA center for Human Nutrition.

The mission is to advance nutritional science to new levels of understanding using the most progressive research and development technologies available. The researchers will fingerprint individual herbs using a method called “Multidimensional Profiling” that will enable the company to maintain its position on the forefront of creating the most advanced supplements available.

Utilizing the UCLA research facilities Herbalife has established both a Scientific Advisory Board (SAB) and Medical Advisory Board (MAB) made up of world renowned scientists and nutrition experts to create products based on latest research.

In addition Herbalife created the Medical Affairs Group (MAG) comprising both doctors and highly trained nutritional educators who travel the world providing nutritional education and training on breakthrough technologies to the worldwide distributor base.
