“[In rebuilding your health, the first material you must consider is] PROTEIN… for it is the basic food of all animals. Of course, protein is found in the cells of all vegetables, too. However, as 95% of your cell structure is protein, it requires a goodly supply to make repair and build new cells. Without protein, there would be no cells.
Without protein, there would be no body.
You must not only consider the QUANTITY of protein you eat… you must give careful consideration to its QUALITY. Protein that does not provide all of the amino acids may weaken your body structure by failing to do the complete job.“

New formula Life Shake!
Whether you’re crushing a workout, chasing your kids, or just checking off your to-do list, your body is doing some serious work behind the scenes… and protein is its secret weapon.
From your head to your heels, protein is the ultimate multitasker. It builds strong muscles, glows up your skin, powers your immune system, and keeps your energy steady all day long.
Bottom line? Without enough protein, your body can’t keep up.
Protein = longevity in action\
This essential nutrient does way more than just support your gym gains. Protein helps you stay strong, sharp, and resilient… no matter your age.
And now, the Shaklee Plant Life Shake you love is now even better! The new Life Shake pairs plant protein with foundational nutrition to fuel lifelong wellness.
The NEW Plant Life Shake…
⇒⇒ Zero grams of sugar (naturally sweetened and with monk fruit and RebM)
⇒⇒ Now with vitamin K to support bone health (30% DV)
⇒⇒ More vitamin B12 to support energy and brain health (now 100% DV)
⇒⇒ More calcium to support strong bones, teeth, and muscle function (now 50% DV)
⇒⇒ More vitamin D for calcium absorption, bone health, immune function, and mood support (now 100% DV) .
Protein: Your body’s secret weapon for strength and health
When it comes to foundational nutrients, protein stands in a league of its own. While often associated with fitness and muscle gain, its benefits extend far beyond the gym. Protein is vital to almost every system in your body… and getting enough of it is key to both strength and long-term health.
At its core, protein is made up of amino acids, the structural components your body uses to grow and repair itself. Of the 20 amino acids you need, nine are considered “essential”… meaning they must be obtained from your diet.
How protein supports health and performance
♦♦ Muscle growth & recovery: Protein helps build and repair muscle fibers, especially after exercise or physical stress.
♦♦ Structural integrity: It provides support for bones, tendons, skin, and connective tissue.
♦♦ Biological function: Protein is used to create enzymes and hormones that control everything from digestion to mood.
♦♦ Immune defense: Antibodies, the cells that defend you from illness, are made from proteins.
♦♦ Movement & energy: Protein fuels muscle contractions and plays a key role in metabolic efficiency.
What’s more, protein has a high thermic effect… your body uses more energy to digest and metabolize it compared to carbs or fats. This gives your metabolism a natural lift.
Regardless of age or activity level, protein is an essential nutrient for everyone. Ensuring you get adequate daily intake can enhance your strength, energy, and overall wellness.

Your skin deserves better sun protection. Here’s why…
Let’s get real: SPF isn’t optional! Whether you’re lounging beachside or working from a sunny window, your skin is under attack from UV rays. And those rays? They’re the #1 cause of visible aging. If glowing, youthful skin is your goal, daily SPF is non-negotiable.
But not all sunscreens are created equal. Mineral-based SPF is your skin’s smartest shield,,, and here’s why:
Chemical vs. Mineral: Know the difference
Chemical sunscreens absorb UV rays and turn them into heat. Some contain harsh ingredients linked to irritation and hormone disruption.
Mineral sunscreens? They sit on your skin and deflect UV rays… no absorption, no nonsense.
Why go mineral?
♦♦ Works immediately
♦♦ Non-toxic, non-irritating
♦♦ Reef-safe and eco-conscious

How much protein do you need?
New science reveals you need far more protein to preserve and build lean muscle… up to 0.8 grams per pound of target body weight. But today’s diet isn’t even close to delivering that.
Lean muscle begins declining in your 30s and accelerates in your 50s, quietly eroding strength, slowing metabolism, and sapping vitality. Muscle isn’t just for athletes… it’s one of the strongest predictors of how well you age. Yet most people are unknowingly under-consuming protein, widening the gap between how we want to age and how we’re actually aging. Less muscle. More fatigue. Faster decline.
