LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 13, 2009--Herbalife Ltd. (NYSE: HLF)
Chairman and CEO Michael O. Johnson will begin a seven-city U.S. tour
to promote the
company's business opportunity for part time income and health benefits
of its nutrition products.
"We're reading headlines about Americans putting on
'recession pounds'
in the midst of staggering unemployment numbers," said Johnson. "That
doesn't have to happen. With our nutrition products and income
opportunity, people have an opportunity to come out of this recession
in
better-than-ever shape physically and financially. Herbalife has been
helping people improve their health and finances for nearly 30 years
and
we have many Herbalife independent distributors who started during
tough
times. They're passionate about teaching others how to reach a healthy
weight and earn extra income. It's
our mission for nutrition."
In an unstable economic market where unemployment has
reached a
decade-high level, Herbalife offers an entrepreneurial opportunity to
supplement earnings with part-time income or to develop a full-time
income. At the same time, obesity continues to pose health problems for
a wide U.S. demographic, including children.
The benefits of the company's signature product, Formula
1 Nutritional
Shake Mix, have been shown in two
clinical studies (University of California, Los Angeles, and
University of Ulm, Germany) to promote the loss of weight and body fat.
A serving costs less than $2 and provides nutrients and protein for a
healthy meal.
Johnson's tour will visit Dallas, January 19; Phoenix,
January 20; LA,
January 21; Chicago, January 27; New York, January 28; Miami, January
29; and Sacramento, January 30.
All seminars are free and open to the public. For
seminar information,
the public can call 1-888-4-HERBAL.
According to the Direct Selling Association, the
direct-selling industry
generated sales of $30.8 billion with a sales force of 15 million in
2007.
All Herbalife(R) products are sold exclusively through
Herbalife independent distributors. For more information, go to
