Abstract
Herbalife® is a global nutrition and weight management company selling and marketing nutritional and weight loss supplements. The United States Federal Trade Commission described Herbalife® in 2016 as a scam disguised as healthy living. Herbalife®-associated liver injury was reported from multiple countries in the West. India is fast becoming the largest growing market for Herbalife® products, expected to surpass the United States in sales revenue. We report the first case of a fatal acute liver failure from the Asia-Pacific region, in a young woman who consumed Herbalife® products over 2 months. We also present unsettling data that showcase heavy metal contamination, toxic compounds, psychotropic substances, and pathogenic bacterial contamination in similar Herbalife® products in India. The growth of Herbalife® in India and expansion of its nutrition clubs in major cities that promise fake health benefits portend a serious public health concern.

拜託大家！

減重最重要的是 安全，

千萬別為了瘦身而傷害了身體。


如果一定要服用減重產品，一定要經過臨床試驗，

且最好經由FDA或TFDA核可的產品。

目前台灣合法的減重藥品只有兩種：

1、沛麗婷（ Belviq ，學名 Lorcaserin ）

2、羅鮮子(舊稱羅氏鮮，Xenical，學名 Orlistat )
