Potential side effects of Herbalife: primary pulmonary hypertension

Research has shown that appetite suppressants can drastically increases one's chances of developing primary arterial hypertension or primary pulmonary hypertension. Herbalife products such as "Green" and "Natural Green" listed the Chinese herb "Ma Huang" as their active ingredient from the early 1980s until as recently as 2002. "Ma Huang" is another term for Ephedra.

But isn't Herbalife a "natural" diet supplement?

It doesn't matter. Many people see prescription drugs as "chemical" and herbal products as "natural" and therefore safe. But many chemicals - including deadly poisons - occur naturally. If an herbal product causes a change in your body, you need to understand it does so through chemical processes.

Worse, it is not subject to FDA regulation and review. If you have been diagnosed with primary pulmonary hypertension and you think it may be a side effect of Herbalife products, schedule a free consultation with a lawyer at Blizzard, McCarthy & Nabers, LLP by contacting us online or by calling 866-941-1947.
