A member asked:
Is there any less costlier but safer alternative to ' herbalife' food supplement which is very highly priced?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
MANY: Herbalife is a multilevel marketing (mlm) company which makes all kinds of products. Many mlm companies charge higher "retail" prices for their products than for "members" (who are marketing the products). You could check out resources such as http://www.Iherb.Com/ and http://www.Vitacost.Com/ which offer quality, yet affordable nutrients. It's best to get nutrients from healthy food if you can!
