Natural, Organic, Vitamin Supplements
We use the term "natural" when describing Shaklee products,
because they are as natural as possible. Shaklee challenges any
other manufacturer of competitive products to prove they are
more natural and effective than Shaklee products.
While our raw materials may include organic ingredients, Shaklee
quality assurance and ingredient specifications ensure a
standard that is often higher than organic. Shaklee tests raw
materials that go into our products for contaminants with the
requirement that they be present below the legal standard or not
detectable at all.
Strictly speaking, everything is made of chemicals. What
consumers really need to consider is the presence of harmful or
harsh chemical ingredients.
No Shaklee product--dietary supplement, personal care product,
household product--contains harsh or harmful chemicals in their
formulations or ingredients of any kind that are shown to be
harmful to human health.
In order for some products to have a useful shelf life, some
must contain preservatives of some sort, especially if they
contain lots of natural ingredients. Just as fresh fruits and
vegetables deteriorate very quickly, unless something is done to
preserve them, consumer products need protection, too. This is
one reason for expiration and "use by" dates.
No Shaklee dietary supplement contains artificial preservatives
(or colors, flavors, or sweeteners). They are formulated in such
a way that nutritive ingredients, such as vitamin C,
"self-preserve" the supplement over its usable shelf life.
Personal care products and cosmetics often require mild
preservatives to prevent microbial infestation and cross
contamination after opening. Without them, they would pose a
health hazard after a very short time. Household products don't
require preservatives.
