Omega 3's

Research confirms that our bodies need omega-3 essential fatty acids from our diet. Why?

Omega 3's greatly impact the following:

Heart Health (according to American Heart Association)
Cardiovascular Health
Lower Blood Pressure
Lower Triglycerides
Vision
Brain Function
Joint Mobility

The ideal is that we consume fish three times a week, and not just any farm fish, but wild fish which provide a higher concentration of Omega-3’s. Yet even when inspired by the health benefits of omega 3’s, it can still be challenging for us to consume three servings per week (though this salmon cake recipe helps).

Shaklee makes it easier for you with Omega Guard:

Ultra-pure certified pharmaceutical grade fish oil
Delivers more EPA and DHA than selected brands
Smaller size for easier swallowing
Low odor and no after taste
Full-spectrum potency: seven ultra-pure fatty acids found in fish
Triple distillation at low heat
No cholesterol
Gluten free

When comparing Shaklee to other brands, you want to be certain to avoid the danger of contamination from lead, mercury or other contaminants (which are often linked directly to the diet of the fish). So, source is key here. Your greatest aim in finding a quality supplement is potency and purity. I assure you that Shaklee stands up to the test!

And the best news of all, Shaklee Members save an additional 10% off Omega Guard when on AutoShip. That’s a total savings of 25% off every bottle! Shaklee also offers a family size which provides even deeper savings!

Omega Guard is also included in the daily Vitalizer strip.

10 Reasons to Love Basic H2

A fantastic, comprehensive list (provided by Shaklee) on why we love Basic H2:

1. Stop living in a toxic home
Some of the most questionable chemicals used regularly in household products are ammonia, chlorine bleach, phenol, butyl cellosolve, and formaldehyde—all of which can be found under your kitchen sink. Basic H2 is nontoxic and safe for your family.

2. Everything and the kitchen sink
Basic H2 cleans it all from kitchens and bathrooms to appliances, woodwork, mirrors, painted walls, and floors— it even does windows. So, toss those single-purpose cleaners like sink and tile cleaners. Mix 1⁄4 teaspoon in 16 oz. of water in a Get Clean spray bottle for all purpose cleaning, and 2 drops in 16 oz. of water to clean windows.

3. Eliminate your ammonia-based window cleaner
Basic H2 cleans windows without streaking while being a great alternative to leading brands. Basic H2 window cleaner is equivalent in performance to Windex® Original.*

4. Removes the impossible
From lipstick on a linen napkin to crayons on a painted wall, full-strength Basic H2 comes to the rescue.

5. Great for cutting grease
Tough on greasy barbecue grills, ovens, and even oil spots on concrete. Mix 2 oz. per gallon of water for a super- degreaser formula.

6. Does odd jobs
One tablespoon of Basic H2 in a bucket of hot water lifts off old wallpaper. One and a half teaspoons in a half gallon cleans sticky paintbrushes. Just soak for 24 hours and rinse with hot tap water.

7. Saves money
One 16 oz. bottle of Basic H2 diluted per label directions makes 214 bottles (28 oz.) of ready-to-use all-purpose cleaner.

8. Camping and traveling companion
Take along a small size of Basic H2 to keep clothes, dishes, and everything else clean. And you’ll help by keeping the great outdoors unpolluted.

9. Easy on the planet
Biodegradable and environmentally friendly, Basic H2 handles even hard-to-clean jobs without phosphates, borates, nitrates, or other stuff the planet doesn’t appreciate.

10. Less in the landfill
Basic H2 is superconcentrated, so you’ll use fewer bottles of cleaning products throughout the year.

Why Soy Protein?

Protein blends are quite the hype these days. You see them in GNC, Sam's Club, pharmacies, health food stores, and even Walmart. Why the emphasis on protein? And, more importantly, are they worth the money?

Soy Protein provides energy, prevents disease and lowers cholesterol. It’s vital to the growth, repair and protection of all body tissues. Soy is considered a high-quality protein, as are animal-sourced proteins. Other vegetable sourced proteins are of much lower quality and are considered incomplete proteins.

Soy can also greatly assist with weight management, age-related muscle loss, and prevention of cardiovascular disease, cancer, and osteoporosis. Shaklee’s Energizing Soy Protein is clinically proven to lower serum cholesterol levels. It is available is cocoa and vanilla and is easily mixed with a beverage of your choice.

For a healthy source of protein with outstanding benefits, choose Energizing Soy Protein:

1. Low-fat, non-GMO (non-genetically modified organism) biologically complete protein contains all nine essential amino acids
2. Ideal for the entire family, giving you 14 grams of heart-healthy soy protein per serving
3. Delicious & nutritious way to strengthen and energize your body with high-quality, heart-healthy soy protein
