Herbalife Vietnam Supports Vietnam Olympic Committee With Nutrition and Training
Herbalife Vietnam and the Vietnam Olympic Committee (VOC) held an advanced sports nutrition and performance workshop for coaches and performance experts representing Olympic-level athletes across multiple disciplines.
The training was conducted on November 17 by Julián Álvarez García, M.D., Ph.D., a member of the Herbalife Nutrition Advisory Board and a renowned sports science specialist and nutrition expert from Spain.
This workshop is part of Herbalife’s long-term commitment to supporting Vietnam sports through nutrition product sponsorship, athlete training, awards, and incentives.
The training focused on integrating nutrition science into athlete preparation, competition, and recovery cycles. Drawing on global best practices, Álvarez shared personalised approaches to nutrition that address differences in sport type, gender, and age, while ensuring safe supplement use and long-term athlete health.
Key topics included individualised nutrition strategies for multi-sport athletes; nutritional recovery and injury prevention techniques; safe and certified supplement use following international anti-doping standards; and hydration and energy balance management for elite-level performance.
With experiences in supporting elite athletes and top football teams for decades, Álvarez shared practical and evidence-based insights on sports nutrition for Vietnamese athletes.
Tran Van Manh, VOC’s general secretary, shared:
“Science-based nutrition is essential for all athletes, especially those who are preparing for major international competitions. Training conducted by global experts like Julián Álvarez, along with practical nutrition support from Herbalife, helps our teams unleash their full potential to compete at international tournaments. On behalf of the VOC, I would like to express our gratitude to Herbalife Vietnam for its consistent and meaningful support to our athletes.”
Vu Van Thang, general manager for Herbalife Vietnam and Cambodia, shared:
“We are proud and delighted to support the VOC through both nutrition product sponsorship and nutrition and athletic knowledge sharing. These initiatives align with Herbalife’s commitment to helping local athletes enhance their strength and stamina to achieve optimal performance at major regional and global tournaments, and supporting Vietnam sports to achieve long-term goals.”
Herbalife Vietnam also worked with the Vietnam Football Federation (VFF) to organise a training session for Vietnamese football personnel on November 15, 2025.
Herbalife Vietnam is the official nutrition sponsor for Vietnam’s sports sector, partnering with the VOC and Vietnam Paralympic Association since 2012, and the VFF since 2021.
