Why is Shaklee Different?

Jump to Comments

People often ask me what makes a Shaklee product different from any other brands out there?  The answer is simple, we call it the Shaklee Difference.  What this means is that what is behind the Shaklee name is pure science and research, what is behind other brands is mostly advertising and marketing spin.  Because we only go to market via person-to-person referrals it’s not only the company’s reputation on the line, but that of our members and distributors as well.  No company could afford to stay in business having a 100% no questions,empty bottle guarantee if their products didn’t do what they claimed.  Shaklee has guaranteed all of its products for 51 years, that is testament to the difference. The following is a statement from Shaklee explaining why we’re the #1 natural nutrition company in the US.

 ” Shaklee is recognized as a health-industry leader in the manufacture of quality nutritional products. Our emphasis has always been the naturalness of our products, and our commitment to ensure the safety and good health of those who use our food supplements is something we feel very strongly about. The basis of our success has been, and continues to be, our rigorous scientific approach to the formulation of our products. Because of this, our nutritional supplements are well balanced and offer maximum nutrient bioavailability to the consumer. Over the years, we have conducted numerous clinical studies on our products, many of which have appeared in prestigious scientific journals, such as The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, American Journal of Cardiology, Journal of the American Medical Association and Journal of the American College of Nutrition. Indeed, a number of the studies were conducted in association with major universities such as Harvard, Stanford, and the University of Texas, as well as NASA. The process of having a clinical study published in one of these journals is extremely rigorous. The research paper is peer reviewed by experts who judge it for scientific worthiness. Once the peer-review process has been completed, the study is then accepted for publication. 

While any two nutritional supplements may resemble one another in the sense that they utilize the proper nutrients in their respective formulations, the ingredients used may still differ in type and quality as markedly as a second-hand car does from a new Mercedes. Oftentimes, lower-priced products are usually synonymous with inexpensive (or even inferior) raw materials. Moreover, with the consumer in mind, there remains questions to related to issues such as ingredient safety, product testing, and so on. Shaklee is among the very few manufacturers who have its own manufacturing facility and who regularly test their products for safety and efficacy with the consumer in mind.
A good example of this was our decision at the beginning of this year to discontinue
making Asian Ginseng Complex. We became aware that Panax ginseng imported from
China during the 1998 season was contaminated by a fungicide. This was an industrywide problem. Though the FDA determined that the levels of the fungicide were not harmful and that the fungicide-contaminated ginseng compounds could continue to be sold in the United States, Shaklee decided to discontinue its ginseng product until a pure source of ginseng could be found. We were the only company to do so! The bottom line for Shaklee is that we are committed to making the best quality
nutritional products that are safe, effective and can be depended upon.”
