Do you have PROOF your supplements work?

Do you KNOW what you are buying and putting in your body? Do you KNOW where it comes from? Do you KNOW it works? Do you have PROOF? After all, it's YOUR money and more important, YOUR body! Read some of these shocking articles from Nutra ingredients-usa.com and some I found on my own for both foods and supplements.

Frankly, there are so many articles I don't have time to find and post them all! Please educate and protect yourself before putting something in your body or that of your children! Some helpful websites:

Check your company and/or your supplements at Quackwatch.org. You can use the search to find a specific ingredient or brand name.

At MLM Watchdog.com if you purchase from a multi-level marketing company.

Cosmetics and skin care products at the Environmental Working Group Website. 

Household cleaners and products at the National Institute of Health Website. 

At Shaklee, scientific clinical research has been a corporate strategy for over 30 years. Our commitment to clinical and scientific research and our Landmark Study separates Shaklee from the competition and has resulted in over 100 scientific papers—90 of them published in peer-reviewed scientific journals. Our research studies are designed to help advance the state of scientific knowledge in the health and nutritional sciences, and they are a significant component of the Shaklee Difference video.
