Herbalife was founded over 20 years ago, thanks to the unique vision and dedication of one man - Mark Hughes.

When he was a teenager, Mark watched helplessly as his mother developed a dependency on prescription diet pills. Sadly, she died at the age 36 after following a number of unhealthy diets. Although Mark was only 18, he resolved to find a way to help people control their weight safely and effectively through good nutrition. After substantial research and development, Mark launched Herbalife in February, 1980 and along with it, the best weight-management, nutritional and personal-care products on the market.
