Laws Governing Products

Herbalife has passed the 2 laws in the USA where it is developed:

1)  Labelling Law.  No 'hidden/secret' substances are allowed, etc.

Food, Beverage & Supplement Labeling and Ingredients Review

The Nutrition Labeling and Education Act (NLEA), which amended the FFDCA requires most foods to bear specific nutrition and ingredient labeling and requires food, beverage, and dietary supplement labels that bear nutrient content claims and certain health messages to comply with specific requirements. To learn how U.S. FDA food, beverage, and dietary supplement labeling regulations apply to your products, simply click the Notice of FDA Action shown on the left.
 2)  Megadose Law.  No ill effects if taken in mega quantities.

A quantity of vitamin or mineral that exceeds the Recommended Daily Amount (RDA) by a factor of 10 or more. Megadoses may be used to treat nutrient deficiencies and are sometimes prescribed for those with particular diseases. However, megadoses should be used cautiously because some vitamins and minerals are toxic in large doses. Read more: http://www.answers.com/topic/megadose#ixzz1LGfIe4Cw
