I LOVE Protein powder. It’s a big part of my nutrition and has been such for over 25 years. I’ve always been into sports, but running has stuck with me now for over 40 years. It’s sometimes blows me away I have run almost 30 marathons, including Boston, and countless half’s, 10K’s, 5K’s, etc.
To be honest, it wasn’t until after I started supplementing my diet that I realized how much more energy I had. Personally I don’t know how I would manage my daily and sometimes strenuous workouts/runs I put myself through without protein. My recovery would suck. Protein powders deliver the much needed amino acids which my muscles need for recovery after my workouts.
Back in 1991 a friend introduced me to Shaklee. I was quite skeptic at first, but decided to try the products because they had and still have a money back guarantee. Guess what…I DID NOT ask for my money back but now recommend them to my friends, family and anyone who is looking for a natural supplements. Not only do they have the very best products, but I have never regretted leaving my full time career in Chemistry to pursue Shaklee as my Dream Job.
Shaklee is the oldest and (by far) most well researched, well tested, pure, safe company on the market. It has a 100 year history tracing back to Dr. Shaklee, who discovered the vitalized mineral that became our multi vitamin. And in 60 years of business, they have never had one product recall, FDA issue or other complaint.
In fact, they set the standard for the industry and are considered beyond organic. I love this since I love eating clean and living green!
You know what else I love…..
- NASA approached them to develop nutritional support for their astronauts…they use a similar product to our Performance (which I use on my long runs) called “Astroaide”
- Over 100 Olympian athletes use Shaklee for top performance as they cannot risk having anything show up in their blood or drug tests. So if it’s good enough for them, why not me or you too!
- The White House and Oprah love and use their green cleaning products. You’ll love the GET CLEAN!
- They were the first company to be climate neutral, leaving no carbon footprint. THIS IS SOOOO COOL!
About 10 years ago, I introduced Shaklee to my now husband (who was using Target brand) and trust me, he was more skeptical than me. He read about the Landmark Study (done by UC BERKELY) after getting amazing healthy benefits from our Vitalizer. He realized even though his previous brand was less expensive, “what good are they if they don’t work?” “I am throwing money away”. He was smart enough to realize that he’d rather spend a little more money on a product that worked verses one that did not. And he was sure I’d stop dating him if he didn’t….haha
.
They published a peer reviewed article showing that Shaklee users had remarkably better health outcomes and indicators than other supplement users or non-supplement users in every marker. That blew his mind.
To be perfectly honest I can’t imagine not starting my day out with a delicious and veggie loaded protein Shake. If you’re looking for the world’s best Natural Supplement Company, I encourage you to contact me and take this free personal health assessment. This is a fantastic tool that will give you a personalized health analysis after completing a very short survey.
There are so many options out there but do your homework and find a company you can trust. I TRUST SHAKLEE!
The Shaklee Difference is real! One good example and why I love this company so much is back in the 90’s, ginseng was a popular ingredient in supplements from every company. Shaklee received their usual batch from China, tested it like usual (even though the suppliers said it was uncontaminated) and found it was in fact tainted. So Shaklee stopped production of their #4 selling product for almost 2 years until they were sure the contaminants were gone from their supplier. It’s hard to find another company out there with this kind of integrity. No other company out there goes above and beyond what the FDA requires to test their products.
I wasn’t really looking for a business or a career beyond my Chemistry job, but because Shaklee represents everything I believe in, it was easy for me to share with others. It didn’t take long, less than a year to replace my full time salary and I love my Shaklee “job”. If you’d like to learn more, please reach out.
