SHAKLEE® 101

01   a little intro

It was in 2007 that my friends Jerry and Jane Bridges introduced Shaklee® to me. They had been enjoying Shaklee's health benefits for decades and were not on meds in their older years. Our family was on furlough and I was pregnant with my son. I was using an inhaler and Jane told me about how Shaklee's natural cleaners were featured on Oprah. I hadn't known that traditional household cleaners/detergents impacted home air quality. After switching brands, I found my breathing improved!^

 

Then U.C. Berkeley published a study that included an analysis of the health of longterm (20 years) Shaklee supplement users, and the results were impressive. I began learning about the Shaklee Difference®. As a former nurse, this third-party research gave me confidence to invest in my future health with Shaklee's Vitalizer.

 

Joining Shaklee® for me was with reluctance and skepticism. But now, I love having a cabinet full of natural solutions to common ailments instead of giving meds to my family...

I'm so glad that your friend shared this link with you to take a look.

I think you'll be pleasantly surprised!

02   so what's the Shaklee Difference®?

Shaklee® is the kind of company that you wish all companies would pattern after. The late Dr. Shaklee created this company because of his love for nature and science, and his integrity comes through to this day.

 

Here are two examples. Dr. Shaklee founded his company based on Living in Harmony with Nature.® If you're like me, I look for non-artificial ingredients when I grocery shop. Shaklee® products have NO artificial sweeteners, flavors, colors, preservatives, fillers, and binders! Plus, Shaklee Corporation's carbon emissions are completely offset, resulting in being carbon neutral and being annually Climate Neutral Certified. Shaklee® does stuff that we consumers can't, but wish that all companies would. But it gets better...

 

The Shaklee Difference® means that every product is SAFE, PROVEN, and GUARANTEED. Here's a video and details.

SAFE

All ingredients are screened for 350+ contaminants, including heavy metals, fungicides, toxins, pesticides, microbes, evidence of irradiation, and more. Shaklee® has 3x the US Pharmacopeia's standards! Shaklee® performs 100,000 quality tests a year. Our YOUTH anti-aging skincare line is vegan and free of 2,500+ banned ingredients! That's Beyond Organic.

PROVEN

Shaklee-powered athletes have been awarded 151 Olympic medals! 100+ patents & patents pending are behind Shaklee® products! While most companies have 0-2 clinical studies behind their products, Shaklee® leads with 140+ published studies in peer-reviewed scientific journals, which back the efficacy & potency of Shaklee!®

GUARANTEED

Shaklee has a truly risk-free policy, a 100% money-back, empty bottle guarantee—try the whole bottle and if you're not satisfied, let us know! No questions asked. Because of the Shaklee Difference,® their returns rate, since 1956, is 1/3 of 1%. And here's another confidence builder: Shaklee® has an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau.

03   what are some of Shaklee's accomplishments?

  • In 1915, over 100 years ago, Dr. Shaklee invented the 1st multivitamin in the United States -- yes, really!

  • In 1956, Dr. Shaklee founded the Shaklee Corporation based on the value of Living in Harmony with Nature®.

  • In 1960, Shaklee® developed the first non-toxic household cleaner called Basic H®(guess who was central in pioneering the green industry when plastics & TV dinners were all the rage?).

  • In 1961, Dr. Shaklee created Instant Protein® (all of those store protein powders today have a grandparent!).

  • In 1982, Shaklee® became a Fortune 500 Company.

  • In 1983, Shaklee® nutrition, with the help of Shaklee® scientists, powered the first US ascent up Mt. Everest without supplemental oxygen.

  • In 1984, the US Ski Team named Shaklee® as their Official Nutrition Consultant in the Winter Olympics.

  • In 1988, Shaklee® nutrition-powered cyclist Kanellos Kanellopoulos in the first human-powered flight over the Aegean Sea (74 miles!).

  • In 1990, Shaklee's Basic H® (now Basic H2®) was selected as one of the first Official Earth Day products.

  • In 1993, NASA asked Shaklee to solve their astronauts’ severe dehydration problem upon atmospheric re-entry. Shaklee has been on EVERY NASA Mission since 1993!

  • In 2000, Shaklee® was the 1st company in the world to obtain Climate Neutral Certification (and continues this annually)!

  • In 2007, U.C. Berkeley School of Public Health published the Landmark Study, a 20-year longitudinal study on longterm supplement use and asked Shaklee® to participate. Shaklee® blew the competition out of the water, proving that the Shaklee Difference® really made a difference in health. Shaklee® users had significantly better health biomarkers than other participants. Vitalizer™ was created as a result.

  • In 2008, former President Obama vowed to make the White House "green" and Shaklee's Get Clean® line was chosen to clean the White House.

  • In 2014, Nobel Laureate Dr. Elizabeth Blackburn joined Shaklee® as a scientific advisor on the medical board.

  • In 2015, Captain Scott Kelly took Shaklee® supplements during his year at the International Space Station.

  • In 2019, results were published on Shaklee® participants from the U.C. Berkley's Landmark Study. After being tracked for 10 years, 52% had lower diabetes incidence, 90% lower heart attack risk, and were on 83% less meds at age 60+!

  • In 2022, Shaklee® achieved the status of being the most clinically proven wellness company in the world.

Shaklee Corporation's 2023 goals -

  • Reduce annual plastic use by an estimated 38,000 lbs by switching all Life Shake™ canisters to resealable bags.

  • Partner with Ecovadis on our sustainability and carbon neutrality journey throughout our entire supply chain.

  • Make sure more of our packaging gets recycled and upcycled by providing simple online instructions for customers.

  • Incorporate more reusable, compostable, and refillable packaging with future products.

05    where to begin

If you like what you've read about Shaklee,® may I suggest a few paths to try? Look at what interests you below and see what fits your budget. You could 1) start with a single product, 2) try a bundle, or 3) join with a Ready-Set-Wellness kit that offers extra savings. The latter is made for new members to join with and offers free shipping, free membership, and a free customizable Boost product...but really, whatever suits you best.

06    some single products i love

  • Basic H2® is our non-toxic, sustainably-sourced, multi-use cleaning concentrate that dominates grease, grime, and dirt. It makes 48 gallons of powerful cleaner for just under $12. This 16 oz bottle makes up a window cleaner with 1-2 drops of Basic H2®! Jacques Cousteau used this on his Voyages because it was environmentally responsible. Email me and I'll send you a cleaning recipe guide for nearly a gazillion uses. You save so much money with this product. Shaklee has taken out paying for water in your regular cleaners and you will decrease landfill waste. It's nice b/c it frees up a few $s to invest in your nutritional needs with all the savings. There are some cute bottles that you can also get to refill over and over.

  • Vita-Lea™ is one of our flagship products. It is the foundational nutritional supplement that all our regimens are based on. It runs circles around what you can get in the stores with its 7 clinical studies, proving that it is bioavailable. My friend had low iron and her store-bought iron supplements weren't helping. Then she switched to V-L as a multivitamin (not even taking our iron supplement) and her iron levels were enough to donate blood! V-L is a high-potency multivitamin, multimineral supplement that utilizes a patented micro-coating delivery system designed to enhance folic acid absorption. It is uniquely formulated and does not utilize synthetic processing aids. Here's how to choose the right one: for women and all teens, select our iron formula called Vita-Lea® Women; for men, select Vita-Lea® Men; for men over 50 and menopausal women, select Vita-Lea® Gold. It's cost only about $11/mo depending on which formula.

  • Laundry detergent - This lasts...F.O.R.E.V.E.R. b/c the 14# box has 224 loads! I love that it is great for your skin to have clothes washed in, and this works for people with sensitive skin. It has biodegradable surfactants, and it's gentle on the environment with no phosphates, borates, or chlorine. This is another Shaklee® product that pioneered the green industry back in the 1960s. If you're looking for a natural brightener with activated oxygen, Nature Bright® is what I recommend, if you also don't like bleach.

09   a few housekeeping details

After selecting what works for you, you have three choices on how you'd like to buy directly from Shaklee®.

 

1) You can shop as a retail customer.

2) You can become a member. This gives you 15% off products, for life. There are two ways to waive the one-time $19.95 fee (it's not an annual fee, by the way). See Become a Member in the top toolbar of the member link. Membership offers great shipping rates each month: free and flat-rate shipping. Plus, you can earn Loyalty Rewards points that accrue pretty fast. For those who switch brands and order monthly for what you normally already buy, it's easy to earn free products--often!

(Also, if you have friends who love natural shopping like you, members can invite friends through our Give $10, Get $10 Program. Email me, if you would like more info on this. Feel free to share this website. We love referrals to share the gift of health!)

3) You can become an Ambassador. If you love natural shopping, value purity in products, and want science-backed nutrition...if you love sharing with friends about a good thing (like a great movie or book), and can see yourself sharing the goodness that Shaklee® offers, let's chat. When I get sick, I have a toolbox of health building products that really work. I love sharing this kind of goodness with friends! It's so rewarding when a friend, who's struggled with health problems, writes you an email and says that though it took a few months to get a good regimen that worked for her, her life is now in a different place--she's no longer riddled with pain and can now hike longer and sleeps well!^ That's the benefit of being an Ambassador--you get to help people significantly on their health journeys. Shaklee's biz model is about helping people and is based on word-of-mouth instead of advertising. We are 2 million members strong and in 6 countries! It's a great and supportive community. Having an online business not only helps you earn some extra income, but it is fun! On our team, we live by the Golden Rule and believe serving people is over sales. Here's a lovely historical video that expresses the heartbeat of Dr. Shaklee. Come join us!
