Are you aware of the most clinically proven wellness company in the world? Shaklee Corporation. Based on a philosophy of offering products in harmony with nature and good health. A philosophy and principles established by the founder, Dr. Forrest C. Shaklee, nearly 70 years ago.
When Shaklee selects ingredients for their products, they adhere to two important principles. These two principles set them apart as a company and are the basis for their advanced approach to product development and production. I LOVE that Shaklee is a company we can trust 100%... because its a crapshoot in the stores...
Knowing the source of our supplements is crucial, especially in today's market. A significant number of dietary supplement ingredients and vitamins are sourced from China, with over 70% of the raw materials used by U.S. manufacturers originating there. China is a major global producer of vitamins, including A, B12, C, and E, and holds a 90% stake in the U.S. vitamin C market. To ensure the purity and safety of our supplements, thorough research is necessary.
BEYOND ORGANIC
The primary principle is that the ingredients should be as natural as they can be. Additionally, these ingredients should incorporate the latest scientific and technological advancements. Shaklee products' exceptional quality stems from honoring nature's wisdom and employing cutting-edge research and manufacturing techniques. When it comes to sourcing ingredients that are as natural as possible, we’ve all heard the value of buying organic. But did you know there’s a step beyond organic? Dr. Bruce Daggy, Chief Science Officer at Shaklee, explains...
“Organic is a means of production; it is no a guarantee that the food is clean. Pesticides and herbicides do not respect field boundaries. The most heavily contaminated green tea Shaklee ever tested was grown organically –the farmers didn’t know it, but their water was contaminated. So Shaklee’s approach is to know our suppliers and to test, test, test. Some term this approach “beyond organic”, because we are actually doing everything we can to confirm the absence of contaminants at detectible levels”
There have been other “political developments” that have weakened the strength of the organic label. For instance, in December 2005, the 2006 agricultural appropriations bill passed with a rider allowing 38 synthetic ingredients to be used in organic foods. Including food colorings, starches, sausage and hot dog casings, hops, fish oil, chipotle chili pepper, and gelatin. This allowed Anheuser-Busch in 2007 to have it Wild Hop Lager certified organic even though it uses hops grown with chemical fertilizers and sprayed with pesticides.
Naturally Derived Ingredients
Although an ingredient may be found in nature, it may not occur in a concentration that is high enough for Shaklee’s high-potency formulations. Fortunately, such ingredients can often be derived from natural sources through processes such as fermentation.
