Herbalife Tea, Aloe and Lift Off, What Each One Is For
Three different drinks that get bought together and confused constantly. What each is, what it costs, and which one to start with.
Quick answer: Instant Herbal Beverage is a hot or cold drink you make from powder. Aloe is a concentrate you dilute. Lift Off is an effervescent tablet. They are three different things and most people only need one.
The three get confused constantly
These three products sit together in most orders and do entirely different things.
Instant Herbal Beverage is a powder you make into a hot or cold drink, and it contains caffeine.
Aloe is a concentrate you dilute into water, and it is drunk cold.
Lift Off is an effervescent tablet you drop into water, and it also contains caffeine.
People buy all three at once, use one, and leave the other two in a cupboard.
Working out which one you actually want first saves that happening.
Which to buy if you only want one
If you want something to replace a mid morning coffee, the tea is the closest fit.
If you want something cold you sip through the day, aloe is the one.
If you want something quick before the gym or a long drive, Lift Off is built for that.
Those are three genuinely different problems and there is no single answer.
Buy for the problem you actually have this week rather than all three at once.

Instant Herbal Beverage in more detail
It comes in a 51g and a 102g tin, and the larger is better value per serving.
The measure is small, about half a teaspoon, and using too much makes it bitter.
It dissolves in cold water as easily as hot, so it works iced in summer.
Flavours are Original, Lemon, Raspberry and Peach, and Lemon is the usual first choice.
Caffeine content is on the tin and the product page.
Aloe in more detail
Aloe is a concentrate, which means you dilute it rather than drinking it neat.
A bottle lasts a long time because the measure per glass is small.
It comes plain and in flavoured versions such as mango.
People drink it cold through the day rather than as a single serving.
It contains no caffeine, which is the main practical difference from the other two.
Lift Off in more detail
Lift Off is a tablet that dissolves in water, sold in tubes rather than tubs.
It is the most portable of the three because a tube fits in a bag.
It contains caffeine, so it is not the one to have late in the evening.
It is the closest thing in the range to an energy drink in format.
Check the label for the caffeine figure before making it a daily habit.
Caffeine, and stacking it without thinking
Two of these three contain caffeine, and people regularly have both in the same morning.
Add a coffee to that and the total is higher than most people would guess.
The figures are on each label, and that is where to check them.
If you are sensitive to caffeine, aloe is the one of the three that avoids the question.
Nobody needs a guide page to tell them how they react to caffeine, but it is worth counting.
Cost per serving across the three
The tea works out lowest per serving of the three once you buy the larger tin.
Aloe is harder to compare because the measure per glass varies with how strong you like it.
Lift Off is the dearest per serving, which is what portability costs you.
That ranking holds regardless of flavour, so it is a fair way to choose.
If cost is the deciding factor, the large tea tin is the answer.
What none of them are
None of these three replace a meal, and none are sold as doing so.
If you want something that stands in for breakfast, Formula 1 is the product for that.
These are drinks that sit alongside what you eat rather than instead of it.
We are not going to claim any of them do anything beyond that.
Ordering
No minimum order, so a single tin or bottle is a normal order.
Delivery is shown at checkout and worth adding when comparing.
Buy one of the three, use it for a fortnight, then decide about the others.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between Herbalife tea and Lift Off?
The tea is a powder you make into a hot or cold drink. Lift Off is an effervescent tablet you drop into water. Both contain caffeine, and the tea is the closer replacement for a cup of coffee.
Does Herbalife aloe contain caffeine?
No. Aloe is the caffeine-free option of the three, which is the main practical difference.
How do I use the aloe concentrate?
You dilute it into water rather than drinking it neat. The measure per glass is small, so a bottle lasts a long time.
Which should I buy first?
Whichever matches the problem you have. Tea to replace a mid morning coffee, aloe for something cold through the day, Lift Off for something quick and portable.
Can I have all three in a day?
You can, but two of them contain caffeine, so check the labels before making that a habit.
Do any of these replace a meal?
No. Formula 1 is the meal replacement. These sit alongside what you eat.
Which tin size is better value?
The larger tea tin is better per serving. Buy the small one first to choose your flavour.
Are these genuine Herbalife products?
Yes. We are an independent Herbalife member based in the UK and everything we ship is genuine stock.
