nurish your body like an athlete.

Nutrition for Athletes.

“Good nutrition is important for everyone, but especially plays a key role for professional athletes. In fact, it is one of the most important factors for improving performance.“ Luigi Gratton, a nutrition advisor to the LA Galaxy, says in regards to the importance of nutrition for professional athletes.

Athlete’s lives are often so busy that one of their greatest challenges is preparing nutritious meals on a regular basis. (Non-Athletes too!) That’s why Formula 1 shakes are the perfect healthy meal for athletes constantly on the go.

LA Galaxy players, like many athletes, have higher activity levels that the average person and have higher nutritional demands. Simply put, the more active the athlete – the more important their nutrition.
Whenever I’m offering nutritional advice, I point out the importance of Herbalife® products like Formula 1 Shake Mix. I know from personal experience that science-based products can make a huge difference in an athlete’s performance and overall wellbeing. (haha because I consider myself an athlete ;))
Ultimately, I advise all athletes to maintain their nutritional conditioning not only for games and athletic events, but all the time. A programme with Herbalife® products, together with a healthy, active lifestyle, is a winning combination for all athletes as well as anyone interested in maintaining his or her wellbeing.

As the Official Nutrition Company and Presenting Sponsor of the LA Galaxy, Herbalife is on a mission for nutrition, giving people an opportunity to change their lives with proven products and a proven business opportunity. We are taking the mission for nutrition across the galaxy. Herbalife and the LA Galaxy are two world-class players that have come together to make one amazing team.
With some of the world’s most famous soccer players, like Chris Albright and Joe Cannon, this all-star association is showing that Herbalife is the nutrition choice of world’s class athletes.

Outstanding performance doesn’t happen by chance – you need the ultimate nutrition strategy to support your training regime. If you want to maintain your finely tuned body and perform at your absolute best then respect your body’s nutritional needs and fuel it with high quality nutrition:
Start with the Herbalife core products

Add protein to repair and refuel

Essential for muscle mass maintenance and growth, and post match recovery and repair, simply add this Protein Powder to your Formula 1 shakes or use in sauces and soups.
