The FDA currently has no regulations on the entire supplement market and so therefore each vitamin company may put in or leave out whatever they wish to cut costs. So if you go to Wal-Mart to buy your multi-vitamin, be careful. You can take any one of the coated vitamins (it means it has a shine to it and most all multi-vitamins do), lay them out on a cookie sheet, turn the oven on to 350 degrees, wait, and within minutes you will start to see black stuff ooze out of your vitamins. The black stuff are fillers and perservatives like petroleum. I promise this happens. I have done it myself and with others who sought to purify their lives by taking only the best vitamins. When you pick Shaklee, you will always know 3 things to be true. It is always safe. It always works. And it is always green.
THE SHAKLEE DIFFERENCE
That’s why we are absolutely sure of this: Every Shaklee product is 100% safe to use. Guaranteed.
And the most enlightening proof of all is in the millions of real people who have lived healthier, more productive lives because of Shaklee. Before any Shaklee product reaches your hand, we’ve done the hard work to make sure it does what we say it does.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that more than half of U.S. adults use dietary supplements. This represents a significant increase since 1988, when data was last compiled.
Here are some links to emerging news stories on the CDC report, which offer a very positive outlook for nutritional supplement usage in the U.S.:

- Washington Post – “Dietary supplement use keeps rising, federal survey shows” –http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-checkup/post/dietary-supplement-use-keeps-rising-federal-survey-shows/2011/04/11/AF58q4VD_blog.html

Once you try these, you can build and customize your vitamin regimen, depending on your current health situation. Also, a Vitamin D3 supplement is essential for women. Ask your Doctor. They will agree with me. I personally take 2000 IU’s per day. Studies show that this amount can help support against cancer, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes. *Please talk to your doctor if you have any concerns.

I understand what you’re talking about…after using One A Day vitamins, I would feel nauseous no matter how much I had eaten right before. I started using the Vita-Lea and haven’t had that problem at all. I’ve only been on them a month, but I’m seeing small results in my health/skin already. I’m hoping to start using more of the vitamins like you suggested. Now I’m wondering what were in those vitamins!

Way cool! Some very valid points! I appreciate you penning this article and also the rest of the
website is really good.
Are you still using this product? If so I would love an update. Your blog is well done, thank you!

Nice website! I have had a great experience using Shaklee products. I love that they are all natural, make me feel better, have more energy, and keep me from getting sick. I also love the cleaning products, as they are safe and non toxic. As a father of 3 little ones, that is an important factor for me. Shaklee will be a staple of my good health for years to come!
Thanks for sharing the info!
