A Letter From Dr. Jamie McManus on Shaklee Quality

Dear Friend,

Welcome, and thank you for your interest in Shaklee.
 
I believe Shaklee products—and the quality and science behind them—are unmatched in the industry—and I would like to share why I believe this. I chose a career in medicine because I believe in health. I firmly believe that people can take control of their future health by virtue of their choices today, and my 16 years as a practicing family physician led me to believe even more strongly that prevention is where the future of medicine must go. Research confirms that nutrition, weight control, and wise supplementation can powerfully impact your vitality today and your health in the future.
 
My passion lies in informing and inspiring people about the diet and lifestyle choices they can make that will help them feel better today and in the future. Ten years ago I decided to devote full-time energy to this pursuit, and since then I’ve spoken to hundreds of thousands of people in 45 countries. I’ve met people who are excited about prevention and excited about achieving and maintaining optimum health. I find it amazingly rewarding!
 
I joined Shaklee in 2005 because I saw a company that really cared about doing the right thing—no matter what the cost. Shaklee is truly committed to providing products based upon solid science, relevant to people’s health, contain the highest quality ingredients and manufacturing standards— plus, Shaklee chooses to NOT use artificial flavors or sweeteners! Shaklee not only was a perfect fit for my personal philosophy, but had the quality standards that I could stand by unequivocally. And while many other
companies don’t publish any studies, Shaklee has over 100 scientific publications, including over 90 that are published in peer-reviewed journals—the “gold standard” of scientific research.
 
My Health Sciences team is charged with clinical research, claims substantiation, and education. And we continue to pursue research collaborations with some of the top universities and research organizations in the country.
 
What really makes this company stand apart from the rest? It begins with the products:
 
1. Each product is designed to provide a specific, important health benefit—usually more than one benefit.
 
2. Each product is formulated with nutritional ingredients that have been extensively studied to confirm safety and efficacy. Our products do not follow trends, but incorporate scientific and/or epidemiologic evidence of need and benefit.
 
3. All ingredients must be acceptable from the standpoint of the Shaklee philosophy, as well as detailed scrutiny as to their safety. We do not simply accept the Certificate of Analysis that many other companies accept, but rather retest for contaminants—including lead and heavy metals, pesticides, and more—to confirm the Certificate of Analysis is accurate. Shaklee has an unwavering commitment to avoid the use of artificial flavors, sweeteners, and added preservatives. We use only non-genetically
modified soy protein.

4. Shaklee employs advanced delivery systems to enhance bioavailability—and these systems are tested to confirm their nutrient delivery advantages!
 
5. Manufacturers are also carefully chosen. Not just any company can qualify to manufacture Shaklee products. Shaklee has, for many years, followed the standards for manufacturing that are now referred to as Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs)
 
6. Shaklee Quality Assurance routinely visits manufacturers to confirm that our quality standards are being upheld—and our onsite lab in Hayward does additional quality control testing.
 
7. Ongoing proof of our product performance is demonstrated by:

• Over 100 scientific publications, 90-plus in peer-reviewed journals
• Shaklee products powering medal-winning athletes for 30-plus years
• Shaklee products fueling world explorers, including a special rehydration product (called Astro-Ade) that has been made for NASA Shuttle astronauts since 1993
• 50 years of providing nontoxic household cleaning choices—that truly perform!
• A growing group of health care professionals who recommend Shaklee products to their patients
• Amazing health stories regarding health benefits from our products sent to me every day!
 
I am thrilled to be partners with our Shaklee Independent Distributors and Members who help spread the information about health and wellness. I firmly believe that we can redefine wellness in the coming years. Along with exercise and eating a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, to be optimally healthy means including appropriate dietary supplements and weight management products so that you can have the confidence of knowing that you’re doing all that you can do to stay healthy today and tomorrow! So many people are waiting to hear from us—and together, I am certain that we CAN make a big difference in the health of the world.
 
Be well,

North Texas Sports Network: Good Bye My Friend:

This is a great tribute to my friend Ben Laurie, so I wanted to share. North Texas Sports Network: Good Bye My Friend:: "Its never easy to say good bye to a friend, someone you work with, and learned from, but that's the case today, when word came that we lost..."

Ben used Shaklee products for the past 4 years and he and I both believe Shaklee is the reason he felt better and was able to go back to work and continue functioning, in spite of his COPD and emphysema. We both believe Shaklee helped him feel better and live longer and I know if I can help one more person feel better because of his experience, he would want me to share this. It was because of his upcoming Shaklee order that I realized something was wrong - he didn't call me like he did every month like clockwork. That is when we began to suspect something was not right with Ben and we went looking for him.

If you knew Ben and want to share memories, please message me. RIP Ben and thank you for being such a good friend. I will miss you and do already.

Today on my walk this helicopter was hovering - was it you talking to me? I thought so!! Thanks for stopping by! :)

Gwyneth Paltrow and Shaklee Share Common Values

How can a cookbook written by an Academy Award winning actress help people in Japan to recover from one of the worst natural disasters in history?  Here’s how:
Recently, Gwyneth Paltrow learned about the Shaklee Family and our values, and about Shaklee Cares® and its mission of providing aid following a natural disaster like the one in Japan.  She was impressed with the way that the Shaklee Family organizes around helping others, and she wanted to participate.

The inspiration for Ms. Paltrow’s new book, My Father's Daughter: Delicious, Easy Recipes Celebrating Family & Togetherness was the time she spent with her father preparing food for the family – time that taught her the importance of putting people and relationships first.  So taking some of the proceeds from her book to help people rebuild their lives – while at the same time honoring her father – felt like the right thing to do.
Shaklee Cares is pleased to announce that part of the proceeds from purchases of Gwyneth Paltrow’s book through a special Shaklee Cares affiliate page on Amazon.com will benefit the Shaklee Cares for Japan Earthquake Relief effort.
