The Mark Hughes Story

The Mark Hughes Story Mark Hughes (1956-2000) was a visionary. When he launched Herbalife in 1980, his goal was to change the nutritional habits of the world, one person at a time. Today, that simple motive has created a global company with more than 2 million Herbalife Independent Distributors. His goal was to change the nutritional habits of the world, one person at a time. It all started with a protein shake to help people manage their weight – a groundbreaking idea at the time. Along with introducing people to a healthier way to live, Mark wanted to give people the opportunity to earn extra income. So he structured the company using a direct-selling model, enabling people to become Herbalife Independent Distributors and earn part-time or full-time income. Today, Mark Hughes’s legacy endures and thrives through a network of Independent Distributors in more than 70 countries. These Distributors share his passion for changing people’s lives by providing better nutrition and a proven business opportunity. We continue to serve his vision by offering beneficial products and by striving to set new standards for the industry.
