What Makes Shaklee Different?


Our mission at Shaklee is to provide a healthier life for everyone and a better life for anyone. We do it by making natural products that are so exceptional, you just have to tell your friends. Every product that goes into every Shaklee bottle is designed to improve health, work without compromise, and be gentle on the planet. That’s the short answer.
The longer answer involves all the other things we do better than anyone else:

  • Being the number one natural nutrition company in the US
  • Becoming first in the world to be certified Climate Neutral™ (totally offsetting our carbon emissions resulting in a net zero impact on the environment)
  • Powering 54 Gold Medals with our products
  • Investing over $250 million in clinical testing, research and development
  • Testing for purity and safety with over 80,000 quality tests each year
  • Joining forces with explorer Jacques Cousteau, 2004 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Dr. Wangari Maathai, and other earth advocates
  • Winning awards for our sustainable business practices and in green design for our world headquarters
  • Recycling 1,000,000 pounds of cardboard from other companies

We also pioneered a business model that empowers people to work from home, spending more time doing the things that matter most to them, and earning a healthy income by helping others. Imagine a business where you can earn financial rewards, luxury trips to exotic locations and recognition for helping people, while making a difference for the planet.
That’s part of what makes Shaklee different. The other part is the uncompromising excellence of our products.

My 30 Day Challenge

(Update: Original blank form available here – Google Docs / PDF, and the online version of the quiz is available here.)
So I wanted to share with the world the results of my 30 day challenge, along with my personal scores and I even scanned in my original quiz paper from last month, and the one I filled out today.

Quiz from 1/29/12

Quiz from 2/29/12

So based on my numbers, my score went from a 42.5 to a 72 which is a 69% increase in the way that I feel.   You may be asking what caused this improvement in the way I feel?

I started the month by taking the Vita-Lea Multivitamin along with the Vita-D3 Vitamin D each day with breakfast.  Then about a third of the way through the month I made the switch to the Vitalizer products, which contain a broad base of vitamins in one serving.
If this is what you would like to see for yourself contacts us.  We can get you started on a regiment to get yourself felling better, and if you don’t see a positive result you can get your money back within the 30 days.

Shaklee Guarantees Each and Every Product

For over 50 years, generations of families have counted on Shaklee to do what no other company can do quite like Shaklee—make products that are naturally safe AND proven effective. Every product that goes into every Shaklee bottle is designed to improve health, work without compromise, and be gentle on the planet.
When you pick Shaklee, you will know three things to be true. It is always safe. It always works. And it is always green.

And your satisfaction is unconditionally guaranteed with the Shaklee money-back guarantee.

Shaklee Guarantees Unconditional Safety

Shaklee starts with nature. Shaklee scientists search the world over to source the finest natural ingredients. Then they conduct over 350 tests on every single new botanical ingredient for heavy metals, pesticides, or any of hundreds of other harmful contaminants. And Shaklee continues to conduct over 80,000 quality tests annually to guarantee the purity and safety of each and every product.

That’s why you can be absolutely sure of this: Every Shaklee product is 100% safe to use.

Guaranteed.

Shaklee Guarantees Utmost Effectiveness

Plenty of companies claim their products work. But Shaklee has proof. You see it in the over 100 scientific papers, 90 of them published in peer-reviewed journals, that support the effectiveness of Shaklee products. You see it in the over $250 million invested in clinical testing, research, and development. And you see it in the 2007 Landmark Study conducted in collaboration with researchers from the UC Berkeley School of Public Health that showed that people who took Shaklee supplements had markedly better health than those who took a single multivitamin or no supplements at all.
And the most enlightening proof of all is in the millions of real people who have lived healthier, more productive lives because of Shaklee. Before any Shaklee product reaches your hand, Shaklee scientists have done the hard work to make sure it does what we say it does.

Guaranteed.

Shaklee Leads the Environmental Movement by Example

Dr. Forrest Shaklee founded the company on the principle of Living in Harmony with Nature®. That was over half a century ago, and Shaklee continues to lead by example. Through the sales of Shaklee Get Clean® Basic H Organic Super Cleaning Concentrate in the past year alone, Shaklee has eliminated the need for 2.7 billion bottles of conventional 26-ounce window cleaner. If placed end to end, these bottles would wrap around the earth more than 18 times!
From explorer Jacques Cousteau to 2004 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Dr. Wangari Maathai, Shaklee continues to join forces with people who care about the planet enough to create movements of change. In the past year alone, Shaklee has been instrumental in recycling over 1 million pounds of cardboard, eliminating over 10.2 million pounds of packaging waste, eliminating over 23 million pounds of greenhouse gases, and planting 1 million trees. That’s how committed Shaklee is to making truly sustainable natural products that respect the earth.

Guaranteed.

The Magic Behind Basic H

We have been using the Basic H product from Shaklee now for a few months.  Replacing regular cleaners for this healthy alternative. Aside from it being the most versatile cleaning product I have ever used, and being safe enough to drink, this product is 100 natural and completely biodegradable.

This sent me on a search to see what it is made of, and I came across a forum that was asking the same question as me.  What they had come up with was this:

The materials listed are:Deionized WaterPareth 25-7 (Surfactant)Linear Alcohol Alkoxylate (Surf.)Dowicil 75 (Antioxidant)Hydrochloric Acid (pH Adjuster)Butylated Hydroxytoluene (Antiox.)D & C Green #5 (Colour)Methyl Paraben (Colour Preserv.)

This seems to be in line with a “List of NOs” site on the official Shaklee site:

  • NO Parabens
  • NO Triclosan
  • NO Phthalates
  • NO Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS)
  • NO Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulfate (SLES)
  • NO 1,4-Dioxane
  • NO Propylene Glycol
  • NO Volatile Organic Cleaning Compounds (VOCs)
  • NO Hydrochloric Acid
  • NO Ammonia
  • NO Sodium Hydroxide
  • NO Butyl Cellosolve
  • NO Formaldehyde
  • NO Bisphenol-A
  • NO Petroleum Distillates
  • NO Toluene
  • NO Chlorine Bleach
  • NO MSG
  • NO Dyes
  • NO Trans Fats
  • NO Artificial Sweeteners
  • NO Toxic Inks
  • NO Banned Substances
Also, according to the Get Clean Fact Sheet one of the primary ingredients is Coconut Oil.  So (Aside from being really technical)  the information I found helped in my understanding of the product, and made me feel a lot better about using it on everything!

“Green before green was cool”

A great article on CNN money / Fortune magazine about Shaklee being an innovator in “green” companies.  Think what the world would be like if being green would have caught on when Shaklee started it years and years ago…

“Shaklee, a direct seller of nutrition, personal care and household cleaning products, embraced environmental responsibility decades ago, says Fortune’s Marc Gunther.”
