Herbalife Ltd. (NYSE: HLF), a premier health and wellness company, community and platform, announced the Association of Official Analytical Collaboration (AOAC International)—a global authority in analytical science—has formally certified its proprietary method for identifying and measuring anthraquinones, also known as aloins, in aloe vera. Aloe regulatory groups require producers of ingestible aloe vera products to monitor naturally occurring compounds such as aloin A, aloin B, and aloe-emodin to meet safety guidelines. This certification officially recognizes Herbalife‘s longstanding method as the world’s first AOAC-approved approach for detecting aloins—reinforcing safety and quality benchmarks across botanical and dietary supplement industries.
Developed by Herbalife scientists and validated by independent laboratories worldwide, this AOAC-certified method is used to test every batch of Herbalife’s aloe-based products, ensuring safety, while preserving aloe vera’s natural benefits.
