     . . . states that Shaklee's Vita-Lea is the best pre-natal vitamin she has found. She never has problems with her patients becoming anemic like many of her colleagues do. The cost of Vita-Lea (1 with breakfast and 1 with the evening meal) is 28 cents, a small price to pay for so much nutritional insurance. “It is so important for adults and children to take a Vita-Lea (multi) tablet twice a day in order to fill in the gaps in the diet and to give your body everything it needs
for healing and repair (which takes place while you sleep). People who think they eat ‘very well’ are surprised to find out that minerals and trace minerals are very low in supermarket foods, due to early harvesting, transporting, and storage. Of all the vitamins on the market, Shaklee supplements are different. Vita-Lea is made primarily from organically-grown vegetable sources, cold-processed to preserve enzymes, and contains exactly what the label states. Not
only that, all Shaklee supplements are clinically tested to make surethat what is on the label is actually absorbed.”

     “One of the biggest mistakes people make is taking inexpensive vitamins. Mail order vitamins offering fantastic “deals” are worth just about what you pay for them. NEVER buy these vitamins or supermarket/pharmacy brands without checking them out first.  Cut-rate products often contain additives, food allergens, sugar, artificial food coloring and flavoring. Many are coated with shellac or contain potentially hazardous chemicals like chlorine. Shaklee
performs up to 176 separate tests for purity, freshness, potency, and safety on the raw ingredients for a single product. Products undergo as many as 262 separate quality assurance tests throughout the manufacturing process as well. In addition, all product label claims have documented substantiation.”

Internal Medicine
     “The reason that I have recommended only Shaklee to my patients is that I have clinical, peer-reviewed data included in the catalog that I can refer to. You have to have good clinical studies, good double-blind peer-reviewed studies in order to evaluate a product.  As a medical professional, that’s the only thing that I’ll listen to.  Except for Shaklee, I’m not aware of anyone who’s done in-depth
studies. It’s the only company I’ve seen do it and that’s why it’s the only company I can professionally recommend.”

Pediatrics, Virginia Beach, VA
     “As a physician and pediatrician, I demand scientific validation of the products I use in my practice. Smart supplementation today means taking the right amounts with the right formulation, and Shaklee has made it so easy for us to do that now. For over 19 years, Shaklee has been a blessing for me, my family, and my patients who have all benefited from scientifically proven products for quality health and healthy living. Our food today is so deficient in nutrients
because of what we have done to it. It is no longer the same food that nature offered to us. For my fellow physicians who are looking into incorporating nutrition in their practice, I encourage you to consider using Shaklee's quality health products that you can trust and recommend with full confidence."

Registered Nutritional Consultant, Toronto, Ontario
     "I have been in practice for over 26 years and have used many brands
of supplements, including professional brands. About 7 years ago, I
was given information about the Shaklee Corporation. I was
impressed when I read that over 80 research studies and articles
about Shaklee products were published in prestigious nutritional and
medical journals. Wanting the best for my clients, I started
recommending Shaklee supplements. I was amazed at the results.
My clients experienced a level of wellness far exceeding anything I
had experienced in the previous 19 years."

Doctor and Owner at Alternative Care Chiropractic

I was introduced to Shaklee in March of 1997.  I had already been taking vitamins previously, because I felt it was the smart thing to do.  When my Shaklee sponsor challenged me to put those supplements aside for a month, while I tried the "High Energy/Wellness Program" (Instant Protein, Vita-Lea, Vita C, and B Complex) I quickly noticed improvements in my concentration and energy levels.  In one month, I went from "feeling reassured" to "feeling better", and because of that, I have been sharing Shaklee with my patients since that time.

I Have No Hesitation in Recommending Shaklee's Vitalizer
Jason Reed, MD

Internal Medicine, Minneapolis, MN

I've been meaning to write this letter for several months and hope it finds you and your family well.  I wanted to formally thank you for introducing me to the Shaklee Vitalizer pack.

In the medical profession, high stress is a given; stress/time management skills are crucial.  My practice also presents frequent limitations on routine exercise, proper diet and efficient sleep.  "Do as I say, not as I do" is the old familiar quote.

After only two days of taking the Vitalizer pack daily, I began to notice remarkable differences.  It was only then that I paid any attention to the product flyer:  as I read the claims of improved energy, libido, well-being, focus, sleep, etc. I had felt the pamphlet may well have been printed just for me.  Even my irritable bowel symptoms have disappeared (it's been years!).  I was no less than astounded.

The medical literature supports that, in today's "rat race" society, a daily vitamin/mineral supplement is beneficial for those that cannot maintain a healthy and balanced diet/lifestyle.  My patient's ten also ask "which brand should I take?"  I have no hesitation in recommending Shaklee's Vitalizer product.  I actually sense that Shaklee is truly a company by the people and for the people. I wish I could say the same for the other things I prescribe...

Again, I thank you.  Please feel free to use this letter to help or guide others in similar situations to mine.

     “Shaklee Products are very well tested both from a standpoint of efficacy and safety. I consider Shaklee’s study of bone loss and their [Vita-Lea] product’s relationship to bone loss not only important from a standpoint of their product, but important from a standpoint of the scientific community’s understanding of bone loss...  I think it’s very impressive that the Shaklee scientists are willing not
necessarily to go with the flow, but rather to go with the science.”

     “You need to select a manufacturer that you can trust.
Unfortunately, there are some unscrupulous entrepreneurs out there
who will try anything and who are marketing street drug knock-offs
or recreational drugs under the name of dietary supplements. One
of our biggest problems today is that there are some small
manufacturers on the fringes of the industry who make products that
don’t meet necessary standards and gives a black eye to the whole
industry. Quality companies, companies like Shaklee Corporation,
are making a stand for quality products and for truthful informationand we believe that is very important.”

materials to major manufacturers world-wide]
     “Shaklee has some rigorous standards that they actually initiated in the industry...  Shaklee is definitely our pickiest and most strict customer. They are very demanding, and they have specifications beyond and above the specifications set by our other customers.  I think for a lot of customers, price is an issue when they are choosing botanicals, but I wish they had the awareness about the quality of the botanicals and the quality of the brand before they make their decisions.   I tell my friends, that if they want to buy quality, they have to buy Shaklee.”

     "Supplements are absolutely crucial due to the quality of our soil and
food today. There are a lot of different supplements available on the
market, but labels do not accurately reflect contents. Over the past
ten years, I have been using Shaklee supplements for personal use,
as well as confidently recommending them to my patients."

DR. KATHY WICKENS, D.C.

     "Patients get results with Shaklee! There is a definite difference in
the holding patterns for chiropractic adjustments for patients taking
Shaklee supplements."

     “Why do I take Shaklee vitamins when I can get others as samples for
free? From a pharmacist's view, you have to look at the clinical
research that is done by Shaklee."
