With an extensive history of supporting champion athletes and sporting teams worldwide, Jackson is especially excited to join the ranks of this health and fitness-driven company.

With triathlete Heather having a standout year in 2012, including a course record-breaking victory at the Wildflower Triathlon as well as 3rd place at the Ironman 70.3 World Championships, we are excited for what’s in store in 2013. Her sheer drive and carnal need to win make her one of the most consistent triathletes out there, finishing 4th place or better at every race in 2012. This includes a 4th place finish at the 2012 XTERRA World Championships- the very first XTERRA race of her career.

Herbalife is a global nutrition company that sells weight-management, nutrition, and personal care products intended to support a healthy lifestyle. With products catering to weight management, energy & fitness, heart health and more, Herbalife knows the meaning of a successful healthy lifestyle. In addition, Herbalife brings overwhelming support to communities in need and children’s nutrition through its Herbalife Family Foundation, as well as support and sponsorship to world class athletes, teams, and events all over the world.

Heather is especially excited to be adding Herbalife’s Herbalife24 nutrition line to her everyday training regimen. This comprehensive line is designed to fuel and empower athletes 24 hours a day. With products including Herbalife24 Hydrate, Herbalife 24 Prolong and  Herbalife24 Rebuild Strength, this full nutrition line is the perfect compliment to Heather’s nonstop training program.

“I couldn’t be more excited to join the Herbalife team. I have been consuming the Herbalife24 products in my training and recovery and know that they are going to bring me to a new level of racing this year. The Herbalife24 product line provides the nutrition your body needs not just during training, but also before you train, after…24 hours a day. Just as important, the people behind this brand- Dr. John Heiss, Casey Weaver, and everyone else I’ve had the opportunity to meet at Herbalife are truly into helping athletes get the most out of their bodies and maximizing athletic performance. They train and race themselves, which meant a lot to me. I know this is going to be an incredible partnership,” says Jackson.

“We couldn’t be more excited to work with Heather. She’s an incredible athlete, and most importantly, a true competitor and the type of person we want to be working with. With any athlete we align with, we look for true partnerships. With Heather and her team this was apparent from day one,” stated Weaver, World Wide Category Manager for Sports and Fitness for Herbalife.

“2013 will be a big year for Herbalife24 performance nutrition products. Having an athlete like Heather provide feedback on formula prototypes through the development of new products will be invaluable to us,” concluded John Heiss, PhD, Director of Sports and Fitness for World Wide Product Marketing for Herbalife.
