HONG KONG, Dec. 7, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Herbalife, a global health and wellness company, today announced that during the year to date it has launched 20 unique products (43 product SKUs) in Asia Pacific markets, including formulations specially tailored to the needs of local consumers.

The launch of these new products underscores Herbalife's focus on science-based innovation, and diversifying the existing range targeting weight management, daily nutrition supplementation, fitness and performance, and skin and body care, to meet shifting consumer demands.  

According to Herbalife's recent Asia Pacific Health Priority Survey, 77% of consumers in the Asia Pacific region became more health conscious as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, and are increasingly prioritizing a healthy, active lifestyle, which includes healthier food choices in tandem with consuming dietary supplements.
