ConsumerLab.com tests Shaklee Vita-Lea

Did You Know?

Recently, ConsumerLab.com, an independent testing lab, released the results of a review they conducted of 38 multivitamin supplements, one of which was Shaklee Vita-Lea® with Iron. 

We were pleased to see that Vita-Lea passed the tests through which ConsumerLab.com put our product, unlike 13 competitor products which were also tested. But we weren’t surprised.

An essential element of the Shaklee Difference is quality control through testing. Shaklee quality means first defining specifications for and then screening raw ingredients themselves for purity and potency, testing each batch of manufactured product to ensure that what is on the label is in the product and to ensure the product has not picked up any contaminants in the process of manufacture. Shaklee conducts over 80,000 of these tests annually, and then guarantees the performance of every product once it is in the consumer’s hands.

Shaklee’s testing of our products actually goes far beyond the kind of testing that ConsumerLab.com put Vita-Lea and other products through, and that is why we continue to rely on our own quality standards and testing.

But I thought you might be interested in hearing the positive results of this recent review.

Note: ConsumerLab.com is a third-party testing company which tests products for manufacturers of nutritional supplements for a fee, but also sometimes conducts product reviews such as this one. Shaklee did not request to be included in this review or compensate ConsumerLab.com in any way. Access to the complete results of the review is available only to those who pay ConsumerLab.com for subscription membership.

From ConsumerLab on Twitter: Defects were found in over 30% tested! https://www.consumerlab.com/reviews/review_multivitamin_compare/multivitamins/

Shaklee Energizing Soy Protein Stories and more

A Letter from Dr. Jamie ~ The Science of Soy ~ Part One

Hello Shaklee Family,

 

An Update on the Science of Soy – Part One

Soy is a natural and traditional Asian food that nutrition scientists are continuing to study with renewed interest today. Long valued as a healthy vegetarian protein source, recent research has discovered vital compounds in soy called isoflavones, which provide potentially powerful health benefits of their own beyond the simple delivery of healthy nutrients in soy, from protein to minerals.

Science never stands still nor is complete. The findings of newer studies may provide conflicting results as compared to earlier studies or visa versa. This is true even in the case of a super food like soy. For example, there have been a few very limited studies on soy that have received much attention on the internet resulting in great confusion amongst consumers and even healthcare professionals. Certain websites have misrepresented the overall data on soy protein and I am quite concerned about this because when consumed as part of an overall well balanced diet, soy protein has great potential to help improve lives by reducing the risk of the leading causes of death and disability – heart disease, stroke and several types of cancer. 

We are committed to monitoring the latest research and applying the very best nutrition research available to address people’s health concerns and support their overall health. Soy protein has been an important cornerstone of our nutritional programs and our consensus is that there are decades of favorable and positive epidemiologic and clinical evidence to support our perspective. Because we pride ourselves on having the highest standards for scientific research, we decided to engage an independent scientific expert to thoroughly review all of the soy research and write a complete scientific review.

Mark Messina, PhD is an adjunct associate professor at Loma Linda University and the Executive Director of the Soy Nutrition Institute.  A renowned soy expert, Dr. Messina has been studying the health effects of soy for more than 20 years and has published more than 60 scientific papers and given more than 500 presentations on soy foods to health professionals around the world. From his extensive scientific white paper, Dr. Messina has prepared a two-part update on Soy. Part 1, linked from this letter, provides the latest science on the health benefits of soy consumption. Dr. Messina’s detailed investigation cites published scientific research studies he analyzed to reach his conclusions and includes specific references to these studies at the end of each of the two parts of his report.

The first part of this series, Soy and Your Health: An Update on the Benefits, gives you the latest information on favorable findings on soy.  Here you’ll learn about new research evidence for the numerous health benefits of soy – how a daily moderate intake of soy can protect against heart disease and stroke, may help prevent certain types of cancer, potentially alleviate menopause symptoms, support bone health and possibly even exert favorable effects on aging skin. To read the Part One of the series click here.

Then stay tuned next month for Part Two, Soy and Your Health: Dispelling the Myths.  Learn the truth about the so-called “anti-nutrients” in soy, why soy isoflavones do not elevate breast cancer risk, how soy really affects thyroid and brain function, the real difference between unfermented and fermented soy and much more.

I know you will find this information interesting and useful. We have created these updates for you to share with others who also want to learn the most up-to-date and scientifically accurate facts about soy.

To your great health,
