Laws in17 States Limit Phosphates in Automatic Dishwasher Cleaning Agents!

Shaklee Difference™

When Shaklee first launched their patented, phosphate-free Basic-D® in 1991, they were way ahead of trend in making available a high performing phosphate-free automatic dishwash concentrate. It wasn't until 1994 that phosphates in laundry detergents were restricted nationwide, but until recently, automatic dishwasher detergent manufacturers could include phosphates without concern for environmental regulations prohibiting or limiting the use of phosphates. There simply weren't any.

Well, that time appears to be coming to an end. As of this year, 17 states have enacted laws regarding phosphates in automatic dishwasher cleaners, 15 of them in 2010 alone.

Why the concern about phosphates? Phosphates in bodies of fresh water like lakes, streams, rivers, and creeks, act as a nutrient to organisms like algae, encouraging their growth to an extent that they can harm or threaten plant and fish life.

I want you to know that Shaklee Get Clean® products do not contain phosphates, and never will. And for those who are concerned about performance, Shaklee Get Clean Automatic Dish Wash Concentrate is a patented, highly concentrated, phosphate-free automatic dishwash cleanser, backed by the 100% Shaklee Satisfaction Guarantee, and selected as a 2008 recipient of the PTPA (Parent Tested Parent Approved) seal of approval. Its enzyme-activated formula removes tough stains without pre-rinsing, dissolving quickly and completely, without residue.

Here are the 17 states in which phosphates in dishwash detergents are now regulated. Is your state one of them?

Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, New Hampshire, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Utah, Washington, Wisconsin, Vermont, Virginia

And even if your state isn't among these, shouldn't everyone you know be using a phosphate-free dishwash concentrate that does 48 loads per bag? I think so! Please share this post. Thank you!

Dr. Oz recommends Calcium + Magnesium + Vitamin D for Absorbtion

Wow, last night Dr. Oz said that the calcium we take should have 1000 mg. of calcium with 400 mg. of vitamin D and 400 mg. of magnesium so the calcium gets absorbed and goes to the right places. So, today I decided to pull out my Osteomatrix by Shaklee to see what levels we have in there. Just as I suspected, exactly what he said to take, plus more! Shaklee knows what they are doing and they've been doing it long before Dr. Oz came on TV, even though I love him. We all need to teach people what to do and what to take, he's just another one of us out here trying to do just that. Thanks Dr. Oz for all you do and for recommending calcium in the proper amounts!

If I take Cholesterol Reduction Complex, do I still need Omegaguard?

Another excellent question about one of our newest products, Cholesterol Reduction Complex and, an existing product, Omegaguard.

Question: If I take Cholesterol Reduction Complex, do I still need Omegaguard?

Answer: YES!! Omegaguard is probably THE most important Shaklee product you can take after Vita-Lea or Vitalizer and maybe Vivix.

Here is some more info about the benefits of Omega-3.

If you want to learn more just Google, Fish Oil research and/or Omega-3 research. There is so much info on this subject that I could never give you all the reasons why you need both!

Thanks for the question :) Here are all of our Heart Health products.

Is Aspartame Safe? I don't THINK so!

Wow. This is just too important not to share with you.

"According to the statistics published by Forbes Magazine[i] based on Tate & Lyle estimates, aspartame had conquered 55 percent of the artificial sweetener market in 2003."

If you are one of the many people who use Equal or NutraSweet (or any of the various names that aspartame goes by) everyday, then please, please watch and listen to the videos contained in the link below. This is very important information and if you are reading this, I care about you and want you to get off that stuff, NOW! Most people are using it every single day. Aspartame is in 6000 different foods and beverages! Isn't it time we take our lives and our health back from the drug companies and stop purchasing and ingesting aspartame?

The Deadly Neurotoxin Nearly EVERYONE Uses Daily...ASPARTAME!

If you need alternatives, Stevia is a natural alternative to sugar. No, Splenda is not. And, if you want to get OFF of diet drinks, Cinch Energy Tea is a great choice, with only 5 or 15 calories! It is what helped me get OFF diet coke for good! Thank you Shaklee! :)

How Can Shaklee say they are the #ONE Natural Nutrition Company in the U.S.?

Shaklee’s Market Research Department determined that Shaklee is the number one natural nutrition company in the United States based upon information provided in the Nutrition Business Journal (NBJ) and a review of labels of competitive products. The NBJ’s 2009 report, based on 2008 data, lists companies in the nutrition sector by sales. Shaklee purchased competitive products of companies with higher sales and reviewed their labels for the presence of artificial sweeteners, flavors or colors. Each of these companies had one or more of artificial ingredients in their products. Among those companies who avoid the use of artificial sweeteners, flavors, colors and other additives, Shaklee had the highest sales. Based upon this review, Market Research concluded that Shaklee is the number one natural nutrition company in the U.S.

CBS ~ Protein Drink Dangers ~ This may shock you!

WARNING: If you use or purchase protein drinks, please check out this report first. It may shock you ~ May cause health problems over time ~ Contains cadmium and lead! Muscle Milk is one of the worst! Did you ever suspect THAT when you purchased your protein drink? I'm sure! Consumer Reports found heavy metals present in all 15 different protein drinks checked! I love the way they say all the heavy metals are well below the FDA limits ~ Within government safety standards...

Why not go with something 100% proven SAFE & EFFECTIVE? All of Shaklee's Engergizing Soy Protein, and Shaklee 180 Smoothees are 100% safe and do not contain lead, alcohol, aresnic, cadmium, mercury, or other harmful substances. Futhermore, Shaklee is the original pioneer in soy protein. If you are going to use/drink protein, like me, why not go with the best? I've been using it for 34 years so I can personally guarantee no long term harmful side effects!  :D 

 Now that you know, please make the safe choice for yourself and your family.

What can I do for Hair Loss?

Although I recommend the complete Rx For a Healthier Life, I have seen many people stop hair loss by taking Vitalizer and Cinch Shakes (or Energizing Soy Protein) plus extra B-complex if needed. I have been getting this question a lot lately and it just so happens that Dr. Oz answered it today on his show as well. I wonder why so many people are losing their hair? I'm sure stress is part of it. Dr. Oz said to take iron supplements for hair loss. If you take Vitalizer w/Iron, or Vita-lea with Iron, you are covered in the iron department. If you still need extra iron, we offer Iron+C (because iron needs vitamin C to work properly). Shaklee's iron typically does NOT cause constipation like many other iron supplements! I wonder if it's because the others don't have the vitamin C in them....hmmmm??? What do you think? 

Liqui-Lea® also contains both Iron and B-complex. Because it is liquid, it goes right to your bloodstream and you can really feel it, too! 

Switching to natural hair products, including a nourishing scalp treatment, may also help. I LOVE these hair products!
