Herbalife Recognized by AOAC International
Herbalife’s proprietary method for identifying and measuring anthraquinones, known as aloins, in aloe vera has been formally certified by the Association of Official Analytical Collaboration (AOAC International).
To meet safety guidelines, aloe regulatory groups require producers of ingestible aloe vera to monitor naturally occurring compounds.
Herbalife’s testing process was developed by Herbalife scientists and validated by independent labs and has been used to test every batch of its aloe-based products. With this certification, Herbalife’s method becomes the first AOAC-approved approach for detecting aloins.
Herbalife’s commitment to aloe safety, research and quality assurance has led to five patents and three published studies focused on extraction methods that balance safety with preservation of the plant’s natural benefits. Through nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometry, Herbalife uses magnetic fields and radio waves to identify the molecular structure of raw materials, independently identifying and verifying the purity of its aloe vera at the molecular level.
“This AOAC validation is an important milestone for Herbalife and the industry as a whole,”
said Gary Swanson, SVP of Global Quality at Herbalife and lead author of the study.
“We are proud to lead scientific innovation that enhances botanical ingredient safety, benefitting not only Herbalife products and our customers, but also advancing standards across the industry.”
