If you are interested in anything you see or hear, please drop me a line and let's talk about it!

Multivitamin Use Reduces Breast Cancer Mortality

I was going to post this after I received my ConsumerLab newsletter, but Frank beat me to it, so, thank you Dr. Frank Painter for this timely information!

This newly published study reports that women, who were already diagnosed with invasive breast cancer, but used daily multivitamins, experienced a 30% reduction in mortality in a 7 year followup. 

Unfortunately, recent testing by ConsumerLabs revealed defects in nearly 40% of the multi-vitamins they tested. That's why I recommend Shaklee supplements, because ConsumerLabs testing has always always found them to be accurately dosed, potent, and pure. Why take chances with your health???

ConsumerLabs is very peculiar, in that they don't care if the supplements they test contain synthetic versus natural nutrients. They don’t care if supplements contain preservatives, food colorings, or chemicals or toxins below the FDA’s “acceptable limits”.

When they recently tested a Vitamin E supplement that only contained synthetic alpha tocopherol, they graded it as a “pass”, merely because it contained the amount listed on the label. Based on that logic, they appear to suggest that this synthetic supplement is comparable Shaklee’s Vita-EComplex, even though Shaklee’s Vita E contains all 8 of the naturally occurring forms of vitamin E, in proper balance.

In the scientific literature, it’s well proven that synthetic vitamins are poorly absorbed and are also excreted by the body more quickly. 

This is what sets Shaklee apart from the competition: they have never cut corners by using lower cost synthetic nutrients. There IS a huge difference! (We call it The Shaklee Difference!)

I hope you will find this study of interest!
