Can Herbalife Supplements Be Given To A Child Suffering From Hypothyroidism?

My daughter is 4 years old and has hypothyroidism. She is taking Eltroxin to manage her hormone levels. I wanted to give her Formula 1 shakes from Herbalife as a supplement to her diet because she is a bad eater and I am worried she is not getting enough nutrients. Is this a bad idea?
