MLM Company Herbalife Launches New Heart Health Products; Ingredients Include Neptune Krill Oil and Plant Sterols

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 31, 2005--MLM Company Herbalife Ltd. (NYSE:HLF) announces the launch of a comprehensive heart health product portfolio based on clinically-studied ingredients shown to support overall heart health.(a)

A key ingredient is Neptune Krill Oil (NKO(R)), harvested from krill, a tiny shrimp-like crustacean in the Antarctic, that contains a combination of Omega-3 fatty acids, phospholipids and antioxidants. A recent clinical study published in the 'Alternative Medicine Review' (12/2004) found that NKO(R) helps support healthy cholesterol levels. Other heart-healthy ingredients in the line include plant sterols, which have been shown to reduce LDL and total cholesterol; Omega-3 fatty acids; and amino acids to boost the production of nitric oxide in the body.(a)

The line was developed to support all key areas of cardiovascular health for young and older adults - cholesterol and triglycerides, blood pressure, homocysteine levels and circulation.
