Below we take an in-depth look at Herbalife24 Rebuild Strength, to see how this expensive protein powder compares against the fierce competition.
Herbalife24 Rebuild Strength is a protein powder produced by Herbalife. It is not too functionally different from any other kind of protein powder available on the market (containing whey isolate and concentrate, along with calcium caseinate, glutamine and BCAAs), although it can be largely distinguished by its extraordinarily high price.
Herbalife is a well-known MLM company which has been accused of numerous abuses over the years. In 2016, the company paid a whopping $200,000,000 to the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to avoid officially being labelled a pyramid scheme and being closed for good. The problem with the company arises from the fact that Herbalife recruits distributors to sell products on its behalf, many of which fail to make money and lose thousands of dollars in the process. Due to the recent settlement, many of those distributors are now being reimbursed by the FTC.
Herbalife has since changed many of its most offensive and distasteful business practices, and distributors and customers can now get refunds on their expensive Herbalife products. However, the practice of buying from distributors still means that prices for these products vary considerably.
The contact details for Herbalife can be found on their official website.
Like with most protein powders, customers shouldn’t expect too many serious side effects when used normally. Problems arise from the tendency of some customers to seriously overconsume protein powder when exercising (some seem happy to admit that they drink three or more protein shakes a day!)
When overconsumed, whey protein can cause bloating, cramps, nausea, reduced appetite, dehydration, thirst and fatigue. If this overconsumption is not matched by high levels of exercise, protein powders can also cause weight gain and weakened bones.
Prices may vary hugely for Herbalife products, as customers can generally only buy them from Herbalife distributors, who are allowed a degree of discretion in terms of what they charge. It is not possible to order directly from the manufacturer unless you register as a distributor (which is not recommended), although the product is available to purchase on Amazon. Stocks appear to be limited though, so this may not always be true.
On Amazon, one 1010g (35.6oz) tub costs $80 plus $7.56 shipping. Each tub contains around 20 servings, which would last for around 2–4 weeks for customers that exercise regularly.
As a protein powder, there is every reason to believe that Herbalife24 Rebuild Strength will work precisely as expected. The mix uses a fair mix of isolates and BCAAs, which work well in combination to offer the greatest dose of proteins possible, in a chocolate drink which is reportedly easy to mix and tasty.
The problem with this is that finding a similarly high quality protein powder is not in the slightest bit difficult, and there is nothing about the product that justifies its extraordinary price. For $80 to $90 (at least), customers will receive enough powder to last them for around 2–4 weeks, which is well below what should be expected for the price. Experienced customers will note that similar products can be found for a quarter of the price.
Although Herbalife has improved in recent years in terms of how they treat their distributors, they are always a company to be avoided for customers. Herbalife24 Rebuild Strength can only be purchased from a Herbalife distributor, meaning that you can never be assured of receiving a fair price or well-tailored recommendations (all distributors are instructed to advise customers on the mix of products they need despite their lack of real training to do so). Ultimately, you should be able to find a comparable protein powder for a fraction of the price and hassle Herbalife entails!

Herbalife24 Rebuild Strength is a protein and whey powder, designed to be mixed with water and taken after exercise in order to aid muscle recovery. Along with the expected blend of protein and whey, the mix also contains vitamins and Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs).
The product is manufactured by Herbalife, a multi-level marketing (MLM) based in the USA. Herbalife has been embroiled in controversy in recent years due to its astonishingly exploitative tactic of selling products through independent distributors, many of whom stand to make little money and lose heavily from their initial investment. The company was forced to pay a $200,000,000 settlement to the US Federal Trade Commission in 2016 to avoid being officially outlawed as a pyramid scheme. From the perspective of the consumer, their products are often thought to be overpriced versions of others that are already available.
Gently shake the canister prior to each use as contents may settle. Mix 2 scoops (about 51g) with 8 fl oz of water or liquid of your choice and shake. Consume one shake per day within 30 minutes following physical activity.
Herbalife24 Rebuild Strength is essentially a protein powder that is designed to provide ‘immediate and sustained muscle recovery’ if taken after exercise. The proteins and BCAAs included within the mix are intended to promote muscle growth, with most of the other ingredients designed to aid post-exercise recovery. To quote the label:
‘We’ve created a sustained muscle building shake that delivers a tri-core protein-amino blend of free amino acids, why and casein proteins to help rebuild fatigued muscle over a multi-hour period.’
Herbalife24 Rebuild Strength is not functionally different from most other protein shakes, and will work to promote muscle growth and aid recovery (as long as it is taken in conjunction with exercise).
The ingredients used in Herbalife24 Rebuild Strength are listed below. Although most ingredient quantities are listed, the quantities of protein isolates used in the proprietary formula are not listed. This makes it hard to evaluate how effective the mix is compared to the competition. The quantities that are listed are correct for two scoops of powder (which comes to 190 calories).

When taken sensibly, protein powders shouldn’t come with too many side effects. However, many people do like to have multiple protein shakes a day, and may experience side effects as a result. Higher doses of whey protein may cause increased bowel movements, thirst, bloating, cramps, nausea, reduced appetite and fatigue. If consumed without engaging in sufficient levels of exercise, protein powders may also cause weight gain, and can lead to weaker bones.
Caution:
Not suitable for pregnant or breastfeeding women. Not suitable for anyone under the age of 18. Consult with a physician before purchase if you have a serious medical condition or use any medications, whether prescription or over the counter. A Doctor’s advice should be sought before using this and any supplemental dietary product.
Due to Herbalife’s MLM model, it can be quite hard to find independent opinions on the Internet (due in large part to its army of desperate distributors flooding comment sections with heaps of praise for its products). We were, however, able to locate a few independently minded comments on Amazon:
This product tastes good and mixes well.
The BEST I have had yet! I plan to bite the cost, since it is so worth it.
Tastes great. Mixes easily. Wonderful product despite the price. Can’t buy it all the time because of the price, but I wish I could.
Works great! Looking for something less costly though.
All customers and distributors of Herbalife are now able to get refunds on unused products, a major improvement on the situation in years past. Within 30 days, customers have the right to return one opened pack and all other unopened packs to their Herbalife distributor for a full refund. In the past, some distributors have been accused of failing to honour this agreement, but know that they are under instruction to do so; if a customer faces any issue, they should report their distributor to Herbalife directly.
Due to Herbalife’s MLM model, consumers can generally only purchase the product via a Herbalife distributor. Prices thus vary hugely depending on the distributor and your relationship with them. Regular customers cannot order directly from the website, and must register as a distributor in order to do this (something we absolutely do not recommend). Herbalife24 Rebuild Strength is available in a limited capacity from Amazon, however, although prices may be higher or lower from distributors.
