Hi,
Herbalife supplements contain many ingredients and claim to help with energy, metabolism and weight loss, but there have been no studies to prove their effectiveness. Additionally, Herbalife supplements aren't regulated by any government agency for quality or purity, so there is no guarantee that they contain the ingredients advertised. In case of Hodierush supplements, there is also lack of integrated authenticable information. Generally it is a good idea to be careful when taking any supplements like Herbalife and Hodierush together with HIV treatment as HIV positive. This is because you don't always know what is in the supplements.
There can be a risk of them interacting with your HIV medications. This could be mean that your HIV medications stop working properly. Before you take any supplements or other medications, you should always check with your doctor about interactions. Boost your body's immunity through proper nutrition, balanced diet and exercising regularly.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
