Shaklee Brain Research Grant Program Established

Press Release | 10/14/2014

"Shaklee is trying to bring our health span closer to our life span, and we believe nutrition can make a difference," comments Chief Science Officer Bruce Daggy, Ph.D. "Through this grant program, we are supporting new research to expand our understanding of the role nutrition can play in keeping us well."

About the Brain Research Grant This newly established program, within the established Shaklee Grants Program, was created to provide targeted funding of research on the role of dietary supplements in supporting brain health. This grant will be funded by proceeds of Shaklee's recently launched MindWorks™, a supplement developed to support short- and long-term cognitive health. MindWorks contains key ingredients that have three important benefits*: 1.Immediate improvement in memory and focus 3X better than the control group**. 2.Protects against age-related mental decline, as shown in a clinical study to reduce brain shrinkage rate, a common consequence of aging, by 30% over two years.*** 3.Supports healthy circulation which is important for the delivery of oxygen and key nutrients to the brain.

* These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. ** At six hours versus control. *** Based on a two year study of 223 adults with mild cognitive impairment. Researchers have until Nov. 30, 2014 to submit brain health proposals. As with all Shaklee grants, animal studies will not be considered. Investigators who have secured funding elsewhere and who are requesting from Shaklee only marketed product, with or without a matching placebo, can submit proposals at any time.

Study questions most likely to receive funding under this program will involve evaluation of nutritional ingredients or ingredient combinations suitable for use in dietary supplements for either acute (e.g., short-term memory, concentration, reaction time) and/or long-term improvements to or maintenance of cognitive function in healthy adults.

"As reflected by the MindWorks launch, we have a strong interest in doing more in the area of cognitive health," Daggy confirms. "Each of us has a brain that needs good nutrition to function optimally. Mental acuity is of concern to a broad range of adults, from college students who need to improve their focus on their studies, to older folks who have more serious concerns about maintaining long-term brain health."

Shaklee Corporation Launches New Weight Loss Program

Press Release | 2/28/2013

Shaklee 180 is a complete weight and, more importantly, inch loss program that anyone can do. The initial 90-day plan includes energizing smoothees, snack bars, teas, and metabolism booster* to help you lose the extra pounds. The second 90-days is designed to teach you how to keep your new healthy weight for life – something most standard diets neglect to do.

"At the heart of the Shaklee 180 products is leucine, an amino acid that signals your body to retain muscle so you lose the right kind of weight—fat not muscle," says Jamie McManus , M.D. and Shaklee 180 advisor. "On traditional diets, over 1/3 of weight loss could be muscle, which can result in a slower metabolism."

The comprehensive program is based on studies that show people who have community support, do it with others, and track their activities are more successful when it comes to dieting. Shaklee 180 takes that to a whole new level with its Shaklee 180 app and unique reward system that offers great incentives from smaller weekly prizes to trips of a lifetime.

"One reason fad diets fail is that people set unrealistic goals. With Shaklee 180, people learn how to maintain their weight loss with a realistic, convenient and affordable eating plan," says Harley Pasternak , bestselling fitness and diet author in 14 languages and 30 countries worldwide.

Real results, great rewards – welcome to the Shaklee 180 difference.

Shaklee Convention Attendees Commit to Lose Weight

Press Release | 9/25/2012

Most memorable, however, was probably the talk by Dr. Jamie McManus, who highlighted the problem the world is facing with obesity. This problem, which she termed “Globesity” is a global problem, and as she brought up, almost two out of three American adults are either obese or overweight. This problem is not merely a superficial one, but it is shortening the life expectancy of an entire generation and putting an undue burden on an already overtaxed medical care system.

Shaklee products and nutritional supplements have always focused on healthier living and maintenance of a proper weight. After hearing the information regarding obesity, the attendees at the conference all committed to losing a combined total of 72,855 pounds in the 90 days following the convention. Attendees were also encouraged to get their friends and family in on the challenge and by bringing along three others on the transformation journey, bring the combined weight loss goal up to nearly 300,000 pounds. While this is a lofty goal, according to the speakers at the conference, this would help thousands of Shaklee members and associates to live healthier lives and avoid many preventable health problems.

Shaklee Kicks Off Earth Day with Celebrations

Npros.com | 4/15/2010

PLEASANTON, Calif. – (April 8, 2010) – Shaklee Corporation, the number one natural nutrition company in the U.S., will be hosting hundreds of events throughout the United States and Canada to help promote environmental responsibility in honor of Earth Day’s 40th anniversary. These events, led by Shaklee Independent Distributors, will range from tree-planting activities to eco-fairs and informational meetings.

In addition to celebrating Earth Day, Shaklee also will be celebrating a significant milestone of its own—the 50th anniversary of Basic-H®, one of the first nontoxic, biodegradable surfactant cleaners in the world. In honor of the anniversary, bottles of Basic H2® Organic Super Cleaning Concentrate—an updated and more concentrated edition of Basic-H—will feature a commemorative seal for a limited time only. Basic H2, the flagship product of the Shaklee Get Clean® household line, provides a super-safe, really powerful, doubly-concentrated clean with thousands of uses. This phosphate-free formula is also concentrated, so it saves money and helps reduce waste compared to ready-to-use cleaners. In fact, the number of Basic H2 bottles sold last year contained the same amount of clean as nearly 1.7 million 26-ounce bottles of conventional, ready-to-use window cleaner—that’s enough bottles to wrap around the earth 11.4 times. Through sales of Basic H2, combined with last year’s sales of Get Clean Starter Kits, Shaklee saved 71 million pounds of greenhouse gases and 31 million pounds of packaging waste.

“There’s only one earth and we have to do all we can to protect it,” says Shaklee Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Roger Barnett. “That goes beyond reducing and recycling. It means reconsidering our options and changing the way we do things. It could be biking to work, using energy-efficient light bulbs, or switching to environment-friendly household cleaning products. If we all make a conscious effort to preserve the planet, imagine the difference we can make.”

The environmental heritage of Shaklee dates back more than 50 years—before Earth Day was established. The company was the first in the world to be Climate Neutral™ certified in 2000, and was recently recognized as an Industry Innovator by the nonprofit group Climate Counts. In 2006, Shaklee initiated a nationwide campaign called A Million Trees. A Million Dreams.™ in collaboration with 2004 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Dr. Wangari Maathai. As part of the campaign, Shaklee Distributors set out to plant a million trees throughout the U.S.; the millionth tree was planted on Earth Day 2009 at the company’s headquarters in Pleasanton, Calif.

There will be a Shaklee booth on April 24, 9 am-7 pm and April 25, 10 am-5 pm at Fort Collins Nursery, 2121 E. Mulberry, Fort Collins Co. For more information, contact Carol Aguero, (970) 430-0287, coaguero(at)msn.com

Shaklee Plants Millionth Tree on Earth Day

Npros.com | 4/27/2009

Schwartzenegger explained how large a million is in California terms: that many trees would fill the square acreage of Disney Land eighteen times over.

Inspired by the visionary works of Dr. Maathai and her Green Belt Movement, Shaklee began a tree-planting campaign across the United States and Canada on Earth Day 2006, encouraging the company's 750,000 Members and Distributors to organize tree-planting events at the grassroots level in their respective communities.

Dr. Maathai, a 2004 Nobel Peace Prize laureate, was honored with the first Shaklee Eco-Entrepreneur of the Year Award™ for harnessing economic rewards through her non-profit organization which empowers communities around the world to protect the environment.

"Shaklee led the way in achieving carbon neutrality in 2000 and has mobilized its networks to plant a million trees for the planet, which is not only a great achievement, but an inspiration to all of us," said Dr. Maathai.

As such, they have committed themselves to helping educate others on the benefits of healthy living, which they say begins with making choices on the "little" things, such as the cleaning products people use in their homes.

"It started with me being a musician," Ron Gosselin, 55, explained. "I was playing four nights a week and working full time. That was taking a toll on my health. I thought I'd be old before I was 30."

Ron Gosselin started using Shaklee supplements, a product with which his father had some familiarity. He began to see a difference in his energy level, as did his bandmates, who asked for his secret. He shared his secret.

...After writing a story a month or so ago about Joan Lubar-Alvarez and the Shaklee products she sells, I decided to try Shaklee’s home cleaning line, called Get Clean.

I was impressed that all the products are biodegradable, and have been for years before it was popular to call products “green.”

Lubar-Alvarez told me that the cleaning products “do not contain harmful chemicals, have been tested and the goal of Shaklee is not to harm a single tissue cell.”

The philosophy of the company is to “live in harmony with nature,” she added...

I tried to narrow my picks to things that were either new to the market or now available because of mass demand.

Bed Bath & Beyond has an entire row of all-natural and eco-friendly bed linens in stock. The best are the bamboo linens made from the rapidly growing (and thus sustainable) bamboo plant. A set of queen sheets is about $90 and are soft as silk. And since they are bacteria resistant, they are a good option for those with allergies.

Shaklee, the maker of biodegradable cleaners, has an incredible concentrated all-purpose cleaner for practically anything that’s dirty. A 16-ounce bottle of Basic H2 Organic Super Cleaning Concentrate (which creates 48 gallons of solution) is about $12. You can buy it online or from a local distributor to support the local economy. Distributors can be found at www. shaklee.com.

I had to check the directions twice to be sure that only 2 teaspoons of the powder were all that was needed to clean a load of dirty dishes with no pre-rinsing. The result: The dishes came out cleaner — and with no residue of detergent —than with any other dishwashing detergent I've tried (Arm & Hammer, Cascade, Ecover or whatever is on sale). The company says the enzyme-activated cleaning powder contains no polluting phosphates or hazardous dry chorine bleach and is safe for septic tanks.

Enlist the power of plants While formaldehyde (found in plywood, adhesives, carpets and paints), benzene (found in Styrofoam, plastics, lubricants, detergents and synthetic fibers) and carbon monoxide (off-gassed by heating or cooking equipment) are bad news for people, plants can thrive on them and help remove them from the air. Peace lily, bamboo palm, English ivy, mums and gerbera daisies top the clean-air list. Plus, they’re easy to care for, so even if you don’t have a green thumb, you’ll still have a good chance of keeping these babies alive.

Shaklee Goes Green

Press Release | 10/14/2006

Nutrition Company to Offset 100 Percent of Its Greenhouse Gas Emissions for 2006-2009

PLEASANTON, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 12, 2006--As part of its continued commitment to sustainable practices, Shaklee Corporation (http://www.shaklee.com), the number one natural nutrition company in the United States, announced today its participation in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) Climate Leader (http://www.epa.gov/climateleaders) program.

Climate Leaders is a key component towards the country's goal to reduce GHG emissions by 18 percent over the next 10 years, and Shaklee will be directly contributing to that national target.

Shaklee Unveils Growth Platform

Market Wire | 8/23/2006

"Shaklee products protect the health of people and the planet," said Roger Barnett, Shaklee Chairman and CEO. "Our goal is to expand from five to 50 countries in the next decade and use our business model to help reduce the problems of malnutrition and poverty. We hope to demonstrate how our 50-year history represents a sustainable business model that other companies can follow to make a positive impact on the world."

New Products Deliver Health Benefits

Shaklee introduced Get Clean™ a nontoxic cleaning line that's safe for you, your family and the planet. The concentrated cleaners are environmentally safe and sold individually or as a Starter Kit. Get Clean recently outperformed 11 national brands in independent laboratory tests.

Dr. John Heckman, an environmental expert from Five Winds International, a sustainability management consultancy firm, compared the environmental impact of the new line with conventional cleaners. He said, "The Get Clean Starter Kit helps eliminate more than 100 pounds of packaging waste from landfills and also eliminates 248 pounds of greenhouse gases from the air -- that's the environmental equivalent to planting 10 trees."

Shaklee also introduced the Cinch™ inch loss plan, a comprehensive program formulated to deliver weight loss and inch loss results. Unlike fad diets, Cinch is designed to help users successfully reach their desirable body weight while preserving muscle. Cinch products contain clinically proven ingredients including leucine, a key amino acid which provides a key signal to help the body preserve lean body mass (muscle), protein to help control hunger, and other ingredients to help retain normal blood sugar levels.

Positive Social Change

At the convention, Shaklee announced that 2004 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Wangari Muta Maathai, founder of the grassroots environmental organization Green Belt Movement, will become Global Ambassador of the company's "A Million Trees. A Million Dreams™" tree planting campaign. In her new role, each time Shaklee enters a new market, Dr. Maathai will be on hand to empower people to improve the environment and their lives.

Shaklee's second social initiative centers on Millennium Promise, which encourages individuals and organizations to join the fight against global poverty, disease and hunger, and achieve the U.N. Millennium Goals set for these issues by 2015. Shaklee will form a strategic alliance with Millennium Promise to address the nutrition and energy needs of a village in East Africa. Shaklee will provide nutritional expertise and underwrite the costs of installing solar panels to help provide energy to the homes of 5,000 people in the poorest villages in the region.

Shaklee also announced its sponsorship of Will Steger, the prominent Arctic explorer and winner of the prestigious National Geographic Society's John Oliver La Gorce Medal. Steger is set to launch his fourth Arctic expedition, called Global Warming 101, in February 2007.

"Shaklee simply wants to make the world a greener place," said Barnett. "Our partnerships with Green Belt Movement, Millennium Promise and Will Steger help educate people on the importance of sustainable development which respects the environment."

Shaklee's 50th Anniversary Conference itself is another example of its commitment to the environment. The company worked with Boulder, Colo.-based Econergy, a world leader in Carbon Credit generation, to ensure the entire Shaklee Conference -- a four-day affair with an estimated 10,000 attendees -- was carbon neutral, and had zero net impact on global warming. Shaklee is no stranger to environmental protection; it introduced one of the first biodegradable cleaners in 1960 and was the first company in the world to be certified Climate Neutral™ in 2000.

Shaklee Predicts Double Digit Growth

Contra Costa Times | 8/20/2006

SAN FRANCISCO - Shaklee Corp. believes that by Going Green, it can produce a bumper crop of greenbacks.

The Pleasanton-based marketer of nutritional, health care and household cleaning products has been at the forefront of being friendly to the environment, a point its executives made repeatedly at its 50th anniversary gala in San Francisco on Thursday. Now, the company is convinced that its decades-long commitment to "green" products can dramatically increase its sales and profits.

To be sure, Shaklee's push to launch a line of toxin-free household products, plant 1 million trees, install solar power in impoverished African villages, sponsor expeditions to the Arctic to investigate global warming, become the world's first carbon-neutral corporation, and generally tout Shaklee as a "green" company, can all burnish the firm's corporate image.
