To get your bottle go to Shaklee

We all want to look good, feel good and feel energized. We search the stores looking for the miracle vitamin or supplement to give us good health and well-being. That being said, nutritional supplements, wellness products and vitamins is a multi-billion dollar business.

We read the claims written on the bottles and take them to be the truth. We want the claims of "revitalization", "promotes good health", "builds strong bones" etc., to be true, even though most of the time there is no scientific data supporting the claims.

When shopping for your next wellness product, such as vitamins, or nutritional supplements, consider the following guidelines:

1: What kind of information is available on the ingredient specifications, safety and quality testing?

2: Are the health and nutritional claims on the label (if any) based on anecdotal information or a scientific data?

3: Are the products backed by published clinical research studies? If so, is the data easily accessible for review? Is the research study published and if so is the study peered reviewed?

4: Does the company invest in and operate their own research and development center and a food and nutritional supplement manufacturing plant? Shaklee does!

5: Are there clinical studies on bioavailability (which means - does the nutrients in the product get absorbed into the bloodstream and how much of it is absorbed)? Is there published clinical research to prove the bioavailability of the product?

For instance a simple test of Vitamin E 200IU was tested for delivery into the bloodstream. The results were as follows:
Brand 1 .015 absorbed
Brand 2 15.0 absorbed
Brand 3 10.0 absorbed
Brand 4 67.0 absorbed
Brand 5 200 absorbed (This was the Shaklee brand)

A vitamin is not just a vitamin, cheapest is just that, and quality determines results.

Every stage of a child's development has its own critical nutrition requirements. Did you know?

75% of brain capacity develops between birth and age three. By age five, brain development is 90% complete.

Starting at age two, children should eat moderately low-fat food to avoid health problems later.

Between ages eleven and sixteen, children often experience a major growth spurt.

Recent reports from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) show that our children's
diets lack the nutrients they need. By skipping meals and consuming lots of fast food, soft drinks, and sweet snacks, American children have developed diets that fall short in important nutrients. In fact, the USDA reported that only 1% of youths aged 2 to 19 met all of the dietary recommendations outlined in its Food Guide Pyramid.1 Since inadequate nutrition during childhood and adolescence can have immediate and long-term health
consequences, supplementation with a complete multivitamin and multimineral formula is essential to ensuring that your children are receiving the vitamins and minerals they need.

Elevated insulin and blood sugar levels have been linked to a number of serious health issues, such as vision and circulatory problems and impaired kidney function. Fortunately, there are simple preventative measures that you can take now to help retain normal blood sugar levels and stay healthy - and being healthy can mean fewer costly medical expenses. As part of the Shaklee commitment toward a better, healthier tomorrow, we'll help you every step of the way with useful tips and product suggestions.

Five tips to retaining a normal blood sugar level

1) Achieve a healthy weight
In a properly functioning body, insulin, a hormone made by your pancreas, helps transport glucose into the cells of the body so it can be use for energy. However, in overweight individuals, cells of the body can become resistant to insulin's action. One of the best ways to retain normal blood sugar levels is to achieve and maintain a healthy weight. Try the Cinch Inch Loss Plan, an effective and clinically tested program powered by leucine, an amino acid that helps preserve your muscle while you lose body fat.

2) Eat foods with a low glycemic index
When you're constantly on the run, it's easy to forget about giving your body the proper nutrition it needs. You may find yourself reaching for a bag of cookies, which most likely have a high glycemic index (GI), meaning the carbohydrates in those cookies are quickly broken down to glucose and released into the bloodstream. This quick release can then lead to a sharp rise in blood sugar, followed by a sharp drop in blood sugar leaving you with feelings of low energy. Help retain normal blood sugar levels by eating foods that have a low GI. Cinch Shakes and Meal-in-a-Bars are a great alternative because they taste great, fill you up and give your body the sustained energy it needs.

3) Enhance your health
So, you're at a healthy weight and your blood sugar is where you want it to be. What else? How about the health of your heart, brain, digestive system, and other body parts? Keep the healthy momentum going and remember to take your vitamins and minerals on a daily basis. ShakleeVitalizer is the perfect supplement for daily nutritional support. Its 80 bio-optimized, clinically proven nutrients that enhance immunity, protect your DNA, and help manage your stress. It contains more than 20 antioxidant compounds and essential vitamins and minerals you need for a comprehensive approach to health, wellness, and vitality.

4) Additional botanical support
Certain minerals and botanicals have been scientifically shown to help retain normal blood sugar levels. These include banana leaf extract, which helps stimulate glucose uptake, and chromium, a mineral essential to insulin function. Shaklee Glucose Regulation Complex® contains these plus other normal blood sugar supporting ingredients including magnesium, vanadium, zinc, taurine, and alpha lipoic acid. For more information about Shaklee Glucose Regulation Complex click here.

5) Stay active
Last, but not least, stay active. Try to get in 30 minutes of regular physical activity, such as brisk walking, bicycling or swimming most days of the week. If your busy schedule won't allow that, break your activity into sessions-10 minutes in the morning, 10 in the afternoon, and a short 10 minute walk in the evening. Being more active will not only make you feel good, it will enhance your body's ability to use insulin and help you maintain a healthy weight.

If you would like to read the health sciences bulletins and published research on Shaklee products visit Health Sciences Also, Shaklee uses no animal testing! Can you nutrition, wellness and supplement products say that?

However the labels often claim they are.

The picture to the right shows two rats from the same litter 6 weeks after birth. The one on the left was raised on nothing but eggs from birth
while the one on the right was raised on nothing but Eggbeaters.

Do they look like they were raised on nutritionally equivalent foods?

Eggbeaters were advertised as having the taste and nutrition of farm fresh eggs. Although, the comparison chart on the box showed there were more vitamins and minerals in the Eggbeaters than in real eggs, what conclusion do you draw-

Do synthetic vitamins really build health?

Not so sure about your brand, then try this-Send a letter to the company producing your current vitamin or supplement as follows: "Please send me whatever scientific research data on your product. I would like to receive independent scientific studies or articles that have been published in peer reviewed journals, supporting your claims on the product. It is important to me to know that I am using a product that is safe and effective. Thank you very much." The response, if any, should be on that particular product(s) you are inquiring about, not just research on the nutrient in general.

Testimony

It has been said, and correctly so, that if you have good health you have everything, but if you don't you have nothing.

A few weeks ago a doctor friend of mine asked me if I had had a good physical exam lately. I said, "No, in fact, I've not been to a doctor in years, except the time I came to you about a sinus problem. And the prescription you gave me is the only one I've taken in years."

"Well, let's do one," he said, "The works, come in tomorrow and get it set up" which I did not even beginning to realize what I was in for.

First to the imaging center where they ran a 'from head to toe' scan

Then to the hospital where they did extensive blood work

Then back to my doctor friend, for a colonoscopy, his specialty, and an EKG.

My instructions then were to come back on a given date to go over the results with him. I went in on the date arranged. He met me at his office door and said:

"Get out of here, none of us could find anything wrong with you." I left and that's all the discussion we had about my tests!

My heart and blood pressure were fine - thanks to Shaklee's CoQHeart, OmegaGuard, and Vita-E. My cholesterol was fine - thanks to Shaklee's Cholesterol Regulation Complex. My prostate was fine - thanks to Shaklee's Saw Palmetto and Zinc. Jim Burke says Shaklee's Protein will add 25 years to your life and I truly believe that it has. I always start the day with Shaklee's Protein, Vita-Lea, and of course, Joint Health Complex for my knees, Herb-Lax for a clean colon, and just about everything that Shaklee makes.

I still work full time, love chopping wood, and feel like doing it. PTL!

What do I attribute this to? To Shaklee products, absolutely because 25 years ago when I started on Shaklee I could not have done nearly as well on this battery of tests as I did now. But then after all, I'm only 81.

(and this is the guy who had a heart attack at age 12 and had genetic heart problems)
