Why Shaklee

I am a very skeptical person when it comes to products.  Does a product really do what it says it does?  For that reason, when I was introduced to Shaklee I had to do my own research of the company before I would try it.  Once I was convinced that Shaklee supplements were better than all of the others I had taken, I worked with a nutritionist that uses Shaklee in their recommendations to patients and they gave me a list of foods to eat, not to eat, and a list of supplements to take.  You might be shocked at how many ailments you could resolve simply by eating differently and supplementing with vitamins.  I used to go to the doctor at least 6 times a year.  In the last 2.5 years (about the time that I started this journey) I have only been to the doctor once for an ailment.  And sadly the medicine they prescribed did not get rid of it permanently so I did some research and got rid of it with a diet change and supplements!  (However I do believe in taking medicine when necessary but make sure you know all the facts.)


Did you know Shaklee is the #1 natural nutrition company in the U.S?  Here's a list of 10 things from their website that shows why!

1. Shaklee conducts over 100,000 tests annually to ensure the safety and efficacy of our products.

2. Each and every lot of Shaklee Products is 100% tested to ensure and guarantee that each and every ingredient that is part of our label claims is present in the appropriate amounts.

3. All ingredients in Shaklee products are qualified under the incredibly stringent Shaklee protocol, unique in the industry, which tests for up to 350 chemical contaminants, including pesticides, herbicides, heavy metals, solvent residues, etc.

4. Our Shaklee Scientists create formulations so that the key active ingredients are included at clinically efficacious levels, often significantly higher than many companies in the market.

5. Each product is formulated with nutritional ingredients that have been extensively studied to confirm safety and efficacy. Our products do not follow "fads," but incorporate scientific and/or epidemiologic evidence of need and benefit.

6. Shaklee employs advanced delivery systems to enhance bioavailability - and these systems are tested to confirm their nutrient delivery advantages.

7. All ingredients must be acceptable from the standpoint of the Shaklee philosophy, as well as detailed scrutiny as to their safety. We do not simply accept the Certificate of Analysis that many other companies accept, but rather retest for contaminants to confirm the Certificate of Analysis is accurate.

8. Shaklee has an unwavering commitment to avoid the use of artificial flavors, sweeteners, and added preservatives. We use only non-genetically modified soy protein.

9. Shaklee developed many of the standards and protocols for manufacturing that are now referred to as Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs).

• Over 100 scientific publications, 90-plus in peer-reviewed journals
• The Landmark Study, the only study of its kind, which showed that people who took Shaklee supplements over a period of 20 years had markedly better health than both single-multivitamin and nonsupplement users
• Shaklee products powering athletes to win 125 medals
