Healthy Kids



Shaklee helps babies’ (as early as 6 months old) start right with a Multivitamin/Multimineral Powder. With 23 essential nutrients, it is the best infant and toddler supplement available. It provides a unique blend of clinically tested prebiotics to support strong immunity. The pleasant-tasting powder mixes easily with water, juice, and food.

Daily Routine:

Parents can choose from Incredivites or Vitalea Ocean Wonders for a daily multivitamin/multimineral. Chewable Mighty Smarts are also excellent in providing DHA Omega Fatty Acids. Optiflora Probiotics (good bacteria) are essential if your child is in daycare or school. Shaklee also offers chewable Vitamin C for kids to boost immunity!

Cold & Flu Season:

Defend & Resist can be taken at the first sign of a cold or flu, and it works! It can be used for 7-10 days and can be chewed, crushed, dissolved in juice or in one’s mouth as a lozenge (actually helps sore throats!). Zinc Complex and Garlic are also great for viral infections.

Specific Needs:

For children with ADD/ADHD, parents should consider chewable Calcium Magnesium (and when older, Osteomatrix), Optiflora, and B Complex. Allergies will greatly improve with Vitalea, Optiflora, Alfalfa, and Immunity Complex.

How Healthy Is Your Home?


In the last 50 years, approximately 80,000 chemicals have been introduced into our homes, perhaps unknowingly. With this has come an increase of allergies, asthma, eczema, learning disabilities and cancer.

I recently came across a frightening statistic that women who work from home have a 54% higher death rate from cancer than women who work outside the home. This is because of the toxic cleaners that are often found under our kitchen sinks, used and breathed regularly.

Did you know that more than 9 out of 10 suspected poison exposures occur at home with household products? This is sobering. The good news is this can be a thing of the past! Shaklee’s Get Clean line offers a solution for every household need!

A 5.5 lb. of Shaklee’s laundry powder will do 88 loads, 75% more than the same amount of Tide. Nature Bright, an alternative to toilet bowl cleaner or Oxy Clean, will provide you with a non-toxic deep clean. The dryer sheets are made with vegetable based softeners and can be recycled! The dishwasher detergent has no chlorine or phosphates. Every product is Always Safe and Always Works, leaving no carbon imprint on the environment, and no toxic impact on your family.

But, the greatest steal is Shaklee’s famous Basic H2 cleaner in 16 oz. size equals the cleaning power of 5,824 bottles of 26 oz. Windex. And, it has the same pH level as your skin! The window cleaner (1-2 drops) costs only .1 cent. The all-purpose cleaner (1/4 tsp.) costs less then .3 cents. The degreaser (1 ½ tsp.) costs only .17 cents. This spells SAVINGS for both your wallet and your HEALTH! Contact me if you’d like to receive a Cost Comparison Sheet.

Beginnings

New life entails new beginnings. I can recall the early days when we were expecting our daughter -- how our world shifted in every way to our newly growing child. Suddenly, we found ourselves thinking more seriously about things like health, nutrition, and how we could make our home as safe as possible.

When it comes to our family, it's a daunting task to find quality & safe supplements. And the same is true for safe, non-toxic cleaning products. That's why we were so ecstatic to find a company in which we place our trust for our family's nutritional, personal care, and cleaning needs.

I was introduced to Shaklee through a Basic H2 cleaning sample. It was around the same time that we were cleaning our old apartment to move to a new one. I put Basic H2 to the test and it exceeded my expectations! And, that one bottle lasted our family an entire year!

Shortly after, we began using their laundry soap, shampoo, skincare, and nutritional supplements. We couldn’t be happier with the decision we’ve made to use Shaklee products!

For over 50 years, generations of families have counted on Shaklee to make products that are naturally safe AND proven effective. As the #1 Natural Nutrition Company in the U.S., they guarantee that your products are Always Safe, Always Work, and Always Green.

Through this blog, I’d like to help you find ways to keep you and your homes healthy through Shaklee.

I look forward to hearing from you through my personal website!
