  Herbalife-sponsored boxer Mary Kom is the first Indian female athlete in history to win a gold medal at the Asian Games, which she accomplished in 2014. Now she has her sights set on another gold medal at the 2016 games in Rio de Janeiro. "I'm putting all of my energy into my training, fitness [1] and overall health so I can achieve this dream," says Kom. "I'm proud to have Team Herbalife, the best nutrition brand in the world, on my side."

  Kom's road to success in boxing began as child when she became interested in a variety of sports, especially martial arts. Her first introduction to the sport of boxing was during the National Games of India, in which she took notice of the female boxers in competition. "I credit the National Games of India, as well as boxing champion Dingko Singh's victory at the Asian Games in 1998, as having the most influence on my career," she says. She also acknowledges her coaches and family members who encourage her to make a career of the sport [2].
  Kom starts her day with Herbalife24® Formula 1 Sport [3], which gives her proper nutrition to train. She drinks Herbalife® Afresh Energy Drink Mix [4] (available exclusively in India and similar to Herbalife® N-R-G Nature's Raw Guarana Tea [5]) throughout her training session. Guarana contains caffeine, which boosts the feeling of energy.* She takes Herbalife® Formula 2 Multivitamin Complex [6] to help her get her daily micronutrients. Kom also relies on Herbalife® products because she is concerned about consuming banned substances. The line of Herbalife24® products is tested by the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) International, an independent, accredited organization. The NSF Certified for Sport® marking on certain Herbalife® products ensures that they have been rigorously tested for quality and are at a minimal risk for containing banned substances.'
  With all that Kom has going on in her pursuit for gold at the Rio games, she still finds the time to fully engage herself in the Mary Kom Regional Boxing Foundation [7], which aims to promote and teach boxing to underprivileged youth in Manipur and other parts North East India. "I want to continue to use my skills and experience to produce more champions like me," says Kom. "That's how I will give back to my people and my country for all that they have given to me."
