Shaklee vs HerbaLife International
Where Shaklee and Herbalife directly compete is with their meal replacement shakes, the Shaklee Life Shake and the Herbalife Formula 1. This is what commonly creates the association with the two MLMs as consumers rate this product.
Shaklee has been in business over 65 years, while Herbalife has been in business for nearly 40 years.

Helpful Favorable Review
I became a Shaklee Distributor about 1974. I did not build my business, but have used the products since then. I've watched the company grow and stay the same high quality with costs comparable to other companies. Constant education is available as well as opportunities and tools to build your business. I feel I'm getting the best there is on the market.

I left a message 5 days ago saying I need to order a product. I'm not a distributor; I just want to order a particular product. No one has called me. Such poor customer we service. I left a message with Dusty someone and she never called back either. This is very bad business.

I took Herbalife For weight loss years ago along with two friends. We took it for approximately 2 years. This stuff is death in a bottle. Thermagenics killed my one friend, I got Cushings Syndrome and my other friend Pheochromacytoma. All endocrine disorders. Immune system disrupted. I almost died. Be warned!!!
The Final Word
As of 2018, Herbalife is in a class action lawsuit by distributors asserting Herbalife marketing events have false claims. While Herbalife and Shaklee have both had run-ins with negative publicity in the past, this current lawsuit could make promoting Herbalife products difficult.
As with all MLM opportunities, view the companies’ income disclosure statements to get a clearer picture of new representative earnings. Shaklee disclosed that their lowest-ranking Business Leader rank, Directors, make an average of $10,227 annually. It does not disclose the lowest ranking Associate income. Herbalife disclosed that 86 percent of U.S. distributors in 2016 did not receive earnings, noting that most people join to receive a product discount.
