LOS ANGELES, May 29, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Herbalife
Nutrition (NYSE: HLF), a global premier nutrition company,
announced it signed LA Galaxy midfielder and Mexican National Team
member, Jonathan dos Santos, to an exclusive multi-year sponsorship
deal as his official sports performance nutrition partner through
the 2021 MLS season.
"We're thrilled to be Jonathan's exclusive sports performance
nutrition partner. His commitment to nutrition, fitness and
the community is an embodiment of our purpose to making the world
healthier and happier," said Rich
Goudis, CEO of Herbalife Nutrition.
As his official nutrition and sports performance partner, dos
Santos will have access to the Company's Herbalife24®
line of sports performance products, which are NSF Certified for
Sport®, to help fuel him in his efforts to optimize his performance
on the field.
"As an athlete, I understand the importance of balanced
nutrition, and I am excited to work with Herbalife Nutrition and
its nutrition and sports experts to develop a personalized plan to
make sure I achieve the proper nutrition and hydration needed to
compete and win," said Jonathan dos Santos.
Dos Santos was introduced to the products in the LA Galaxy
players' lounge. He uses Herbalife24® Rebuild Strength
to start his morning and post-practice, and recently worked with
the Herbalife Nutrition team to develop a video preparing his
favorite shake recipe he calls "Banana Sunrise." To watch and share

partnership initiatives, sports nutrition education and the
Company's marketing initiatives.
Dos Santos, a native of Mexico
City, joined FC Barcelona's famed academy at an early age
with his brother, Giovani, where both worked their way up into
Barcelona's first team. In 2014,
he followed in his brother's footsteps and joined Villarreal CF,
where he made a name for himself as one of the most reliable
midfielders of the Spanish league. In 2017, he once again reunited
with his brother, this time as one of the three Designated Players
of the LA Galaxy.
