“Good nutrition doesn’t cost nearly as much as hospital and doctor bills! We all know it takes a strong body to fight off the onslaught of disease.
Wherever there is a weakness in the body, [there] is low resistance against disease. Regardless of the type of disease, better nutrition will assist the body to overcome its effect. Your first line of defense is your nutrition supply.

If you want to get well and stay well, you MUST free your body of accumulated waste and provide the nutritional elements so necessary to strengthen your resistance against disease and to build vital, vigorous tissue cells. THERE IS NO OTHER WAY.“

Ready for cold and flu season?

Cold weather brings more than chilly temperatures and shorter days. It’s also a season when respiratory viruses circulate more readily, increasing your chances of catching a cold or the flu. And once infected, there’s no simple antibiotic cure. Although treatments may ease symptoms, your immune system remains your body’s primary defense.

So why wait until you’re sick to think about immunity? Your immune system is an extraordinary network of cells, tissues, and organs working around the clock to recognize and combat harmful invaders. Keeping this defense system functioning properly is a smart investment in your health.

Fortunately, supporting healthy immunity isn’t complicated! Good nutrition, restorative sleep, regular exercise, and stress management help maintain your natural defenses. Shaklee’s science-based supplements can also fill nutritional gaps and provide essential vitamins and minerals that support normal immune function. A little daily attention to your immune health can make a meaningful difference!

Your #1 defense

Your first line of defense to avoid getting sick this year is simple… wash your hands! Washing your hands frequently with soap and hot water limits the spread of cold and flu viruses.

Why is this so important? Because you are more likely to contact viruses with your hands than in any other way by touching the handle of a shopping cart or closing a door, for example.

Then you touch your nose, rub your eyes, or get your fingers too close to your mouth, transferring the virus to a mucous membrane where it can multiply and start creating havoc.

So, what are you waiting for?

Go wash your hands!

The invisible army protecting you…

Ever wonder how your body manages to fight off countless invisible invaders every day? Credit your immune system… a remarkably sophisticated defense network that identifies threats, mobilizes protective forces, and helps keep you healthy.

Behind the scenes, four major components work together to protect you.

1. Physical barriers: Keeping germs out!

Your skin and mucous membranes serve as protective shields, making it difficult for harmful microorganisms to enter. From your respiratory passages to your digestive tract, these barriers provide essential frontline protection.

Skin: Your Barrier & Microbiome

2. White blood cells: The body’s security patrol

Known scientifically as leukocytes, these specialized cells circulate through your blood and tissues, searching for trouble. Granulocytes, monocytes, and lymphocytes each have distinct responsibilities, including attacking microbes, removing damaged cells, and recognizing specific threats.

3. Immune molecules: Sending the battle signals

Your immune system relies on chemical communication. Cytokines alert and coordinate immune cells, antibodies recognize specific targets, and complement proteins help eliminate invading microorganisms. Together, they organize an effective response.

4. Immune organs: Where defenses take shape

Your bone marrow produces immune cells, while your thymus supports T-cell development. Meanwhile, your lymph nodes, spleen, tonsils, and intestinal lymphoid tissues help detect threats and coordinate immune activity.

Teamwork makes the difference!

When harmful microbes invade, these defenses spring into action, working together to identify threats, fight infection, and regulate inflammation.

Want to keep this remarkable network functioning effectively? Prioritize restful sleep, regular exercise, stress control, and wholesome nutrition. Antioxidant-rich foods and targeted supplements also help support normal immune function. Your immune system works hard for you… give it the care it deserves!

Build a “battle-ready” immune system!

Your immune system is an impressive biological defense force, constantly working to protect you. Want to help keep it battle-ready? These four everyday habits can make a difference!

Move more, defend better! Regular physical activity improves circulation and helps immune cells patrol your body more efficiently. Even brisk walking offers benefits.

Sleep your way to better immunity. Quality sleep helps regulate immune activity and supports your body’s response to infection. Most adults need 7–9 hours nightly.

Hydrate for health. Water keeps essential biological processes running smoothly, supports healthy mucous membranes, and helps your body eliminate waste.

Nourish your natural defenses. Your immune cells depend on adequate protein, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Build your meals around nutrient-dense whole foods to give your immune system the nutritional support it deserves.

“Vitamin C deficiency is the major cause of much of our common aches and pains. The functions of ALL body cells are affected by this vitamin, yet it cannot be stored by the body… it must be supplied continuously and regularly through-out life…

This vital food element is often called an anti-infective vitamin along with Vitamin A. Its presence in the blood stream aids in preventing hemorrhage; aids in the proper metabolism of iron, calcium, phosphorus; strengthens the blood vessel walls; and performs innumerable additional functions.

Vitamin C… also greatly influences the coagulation of blood in case of accident or surgery.“

~ A Study Course in Nutrition by Forrest Shaklee Sr., DC, DD

Surgery ahead? Prepare now…

Is surgery in your future? If so, you should know that surgery is more than a medical procedure… it is a physical challenge that asks your body to heal, rebuild, and recover. Preparing in the weeks beforehand can help create a stronger foundation for that process.

Physical preparation begins with following your surgical team’s instructions, staying appropriately active, getting adequate sleep, and avoiding tobacco and excess alcohol. Mental preparation matters, too. Understanding what to expect, discussing concerns with your healthcare team, practicing relaxation techniques, and planning for recovery can help reduce uncertainty and stress.

Finally, nutrition provides the raw materials for healing. A nutrient-dense diet rich in protein, fruits, vegetables, whole grains, healthy fats, adequate fluids, and targeted supplements all help support immune function, tissue repair, and energy needs. Thoughtful preparation can help you enter surgery stronger, better nourished, and more confident about recovery.

---

---

Surgical myths worth rethinking

 Think surgery is something you simply show up for? Think again.

One common myth is that preparation makes little difference. In reality, appropriate exercise, good nutrition, and adequate sleep can help prepare the body for recovery.

Another misconception is that complete bed rest is always best afterward.Early movement is often encouraged to support circulation and regain function.

And nutrition isn’t just an after-surgery concern… entering surgery well nourished matters, too. The best approach?

Become an active participant in your recovery!

---

Prehabilitation: Start your surgical recovery before surgery

What if part of your surgical recovery could begin before the operation? That is the idea behind prehabilitation, or “prehab”… using the weeks before a planned procedure to improve physical fitness, nutritional status, and mental readiness.

Rather than entering surgery passively, prehab helps prepare the body for the physiological stress ahead.

Strengthen your physical reserve

Surgery temporarily increases demands on virtually every system involved in healing. Entering the procedure with better cardiovascular fitness and muscle strength may make it easier to tolerate those demands and regain function afterward.

A prehab exercise program might include walking, cycling, swimming, resistance training, and, for some patients, respiratory exercises. Aerobic activity supports heart and lung fitness, while resistance training helps maintain the muscle needed for movement and independence during recovery.

More is not necessarily better. Exercise should match your current health, mobility, and planned surgery. A steady program performed consistently over several weeks may be more appropriate than suddenly beginning strenuous workouts. Your healthcare team or physical therapist can help determine what is safe.

Nourish the healing process

Good nutrition is another essential component because healing requires raw materials. Protein provides amino acids for maintaining muscle and rebuilding tissue. Vitamin C supports normal collagen formation, zinc contributes to normal wound healing and immune function, and iron is necessary for producing hemoglobin that transports oxygen.

Focus on nutrient-dense foods: quality protein sources, colorful vegetables and fruits, whole grains, healthy fats, and sufficient fluids. When nutritional deficiencies or poor blood-sugar control are present, addressing them before surgery may be particularly important.

This is also a time to review all nutritional supplements with your surgeon. Some may be helpful when a deficiency exists, while others may need to be discontinued before surgery because of potential effects on medications, bleeding, or anesthesia.

Train your mind for recovery

Prehabilitation isn’t purely physical. Understanding the procedure, reducing anxiety, practicing stress-management techniques, and preparing your home and support system can make recovery feel more manageable.

The weeks before surgery are not simply a waiting period. Used wisely, they can become an opportunity to build strength, improve nutrition, prepare mentally, and create a healthier starting point for recovery. with typical age-related decline.

Your immune system: An important partner

When preparing for surgery, we often think about the surgeon, hospital, medications, and rehabilitation. But another important member of your recovery team is already inside you: your immune system.

Surgery activates a carefully coordinated biological response. Immune cells help protect damaged tissue from infection, regulate inflammation, remove cellular debris, and participate in the complex processes that allow tissues to repair. Supporting normal immune function before surgery can therefore be an important part of preparing your body for recovery.

Start with the fundamentals. Get consistent, restorative sleep. Stay as physically as possible. Manage stress, avoid smoking, limit alcohol, and give your body the nutrition it needs.

Protein (found in Life Shake and Sparkling Protein) is particularly important for maintaining muscle and rebuilding tissue, while vitamins A, C, D, and E and minerals including zinc, selenium, and iron (all found in Vita-Lea) support different aspects of normal immune function.

Three supplements particularly recommended before surgery are NutriFeron, Triple Defense Boost and Zinc Complex.

You cannot boost immunity overnight. Immune strength is built through consistent habits. The healthier your foundation before surgery, the better nutritional and physiological resources your body has available for recovery.

The healing power of nutrition for recovery…

Surgery places extraordinary demands on the body. Tissue must be repaired, immune defenses activated, and lost strength rebuilt… all processes that require energy, protein, vitamins, minerals, and fluids. That makes nutrition an important part of both prehabilitation and recovery.

Protein: The building material for recovery

Protein deserves special attention. Its amino acids provide building blocks for tissue repair while helping preserve muscle during periods of reduced activity. Before and after surgery, emphasize eggs, poultry, fish, dairy, beans, lentils, and other quality protein sources.

When appetite is poor, smaller protein-rich meals, smoothies, yogurt, eggs, or soups may be easier to manage. Shaklee Life Shake™ can offer a convenient source of protein and additional nutrition when preparing balanced meals is difficult.

Millions of Moments, Powered by Protein

Micronutrients matter

Healing requires more than protein. Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation, while zinc supports normal immune function and wound healing. Vitamins A, D, E, B vitamins, iron, magnesium, and other micronutrients also participate in processes related to energy metabolism, blood formation, immunity, and tissue maintenance.

A healthy diet should provide the foundation. A comprehensive Shaklee multivitamin such as Vita-Lea® may help fill nutritional gaps. Depending on individual needs, products such as Sustained Release Vita-C, Vita-D3, Zinc Complex, B-Complex, and Iron plus C Complex may also provide targeted nutritional support.

Vita-Lea: The Original Multi Reinvented

Be sure to include supplements specifically designed to strengthen the immune system:

 Triple Defense Boost (vitamin C, zinc, vitamin D, plant-based adaptogens, elderberry, and more)

 NutriFeron (pumpkin seed, Asian plantain seed, and safflower and Japanese honeysuckle flowers, plus zinc)

 Immunity Formula I (with nine immunoactive nutrients)

And for a powerful immune-boosting trio, try the Advanced Immunity Bundle which contains the most important supplements to support immune health and overall wellness… Life Shake (a 28-serving pouch), Triple Defense Boost and Nutriferon.

Don’t forget fluids and digestion

Adequate hydration supports normal circulation and nutrient transport. For superior hydration, use Electrolyte+ Hydration & Focus Drink with three key electrolytes… sodium, potassium, and chloride… that help maintain fluid balance inside and outside of cells.

Digestive regularity, may become challenging with inactivity or certain pain medications. Optiflora DI and Herb-Lax can help maintain optimal digestion.

Most importantly, review every supplement with your surgeon well before the procedure. Products containing herbs, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin E, or other ingredients may need special consideration because of possible effects on bleeding, medications, or anesthesia. Your surgical team will determine what to continue, stop, and restart.

The goal isn’t a magical “healing diet.” It’s giving your body consistent protein, energy, fluids, and essential nutrients so it has the nutritional resources required for recovery.

How surgical wounds heal

Healing a surgical wound is one of the body’s most impressive examples of biological teamwork. Almost immediately after an incision is closed, clotting begins and immune cells move into the area, helping remove damaged tissue and protect against infection.

Then construction begins. New blood vessels supply oxygen and nutrients, while specialized cells produce collagen and other components needed to rebuild tissue. Over time, collagen fibers reorganize and strengthen the area. This remodeling process can continue for months, even when the incision looks healed.

Several factors influence how efficiently this happens. Healthy circulation, controlled blood sugar, excellent nutrition, adequate sleep, and following activity restrictions can support normal healing. Smoking, nutritional deficiencies, certain health conditions, and some medications may interfere with the process.

Food also supplies essential construction materials. Protein supports new tissue formation, vitamin C is needed for normal collagen production, and zinc contributes to wound healing and immune function. Fluids help support normal circulation and physiological processes.

Whether your incision is closed with stitches, staples, glue, or strips, follow your surgeon’s care instructions carefully. Healing can’t be rushed… but you can give your body the conditions it needs to do its remarkable repair work.

So why wait until you’re sick to think about immunity? Your immune system is an extraordinary network of cells, tissues, and organs working around the clock to recognize and combat harmful invaders. Keeping this defense system functioning properly is a smart investment in your health.

Fortunately, supporting healthy immunity isn’t complicated! Good nutrition, restorative sleep, regular exercise, and stress management help maintain your natural defenses. Shaklee’s science-based supplements can also fill nutritional gaps and provide essential vitamins and minerals that support normal immune function. A little daily attention to your immune health can make a meaningful difference!

Your #1 defense

Your first line of defense to avoid getting sick this year is simple… wash your hands! Washing your hands frequently with soap and hot water limits the spread of cold and flu viruses.

Why is this so important? Because you are more likely to contact viruses with your hands than in any other way by touching the handle of a shopping cart or closing a door, for example.

Then you touch your nose, rub your eyes, or get your fingers too close to your mouth, transferring the virus to a mucous membrane where it can multiply and start creating havoc.

So, what are you waiting for?

Go wash your hands!

The invisible army protecting you…

Ever wonder how your body manages to fight off countless invisible invaders every day? Credit your immune system… a remarkably sophisticated defense network that identifies threats, mobilizes protective forces, and helps keep you healthy.

Behind the scenes, four major components work together to protect you.

1. Physical barriers: Keeping germs out!

Your skin and mucous membranes serve as protective shields, making it difficult for harmful microorganisms to enter. From your respiratory passages to your digestive tract, these barriers provide essential frontline protection.

Skin: Your Barrier & Microbiome

2. White blood cells: The body’s security patrol

Known scientifically as leukocytes, these specialized cells circulate through your blood and tissues, searching for trouble. Granulocytes, monocytes, and lymphocytes each have distinct responsibilities, including attacking microbes, removing damaged cells, and recognizing specific threats.

3. Immune molecules: Sending the battle signals

Your immune system relies on chemical communication. Cytokines alert and coordinate immune cells, antibodies recognize specific targets, and complement proteins help eliminate invading microorganisms. Together, they organize an effective response.

4. Immune organs: Where defenses take shape

Your bone marrow produces immune cells, while your thymus supports T-cell development. Meanwhile, your lymph nodes, spleen, tonsils, and intestinal lymphoid tissues help detect threats and coordinate immune activity.

Teamwork makes the difference!

When harmful microbes invade, these defenses spring into action, working together to identify threats, fight infection, and regulate inflammation.

Want to keep this remarkable network functioning effectively? Prioritize restful sleep, regular exercise, stress control, and wholesome nutrition. Antioxidant-rich foods and targeted supplements also help support normal immune function. Your immune system works hard for you… give it the care it deserves!

Build a “battle-ready” immune system!

Your immune system is an impressive biological defense force, constantly working to protect you. Want to help keep it battle-ready? These four everyday habits can make a difference!

Move more, defend better! Regular physical activity improves circulation and helps immune cells patrol your body more efficiently. Even brisk walking offers benefits.

Sleep your way to better immunity. Quality sleep helps regulate immune activity and supports your body’s response to infection. Most adults need 7–9 hours nightly.

Hydrate for health. Water keeps essential biological processes running smoothly, supports healthy mucous membranes, and helps your body eliminate waste.

Nourish your natural defenses. Your immune cells depend on adequate protein, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Build your meals around nutrient-dense whole foods to give your immune system the nutritional support it deserves.

Nature meets science for immune health

Does the arrival of winter make you think of runny noses, scratchy throats, and days spent feeling miserable? While no supplement can guarantee you’ll avoid seasonal illnesses, you can help support your body’s natural defenses with Shaklee Defend & Resist Complex!

This science-informed formula brings together four ingredients selected for their immune-supporting properties. Each plays a different role in helping maintain a healthy immune response.

Meet your immune-support team!

Echinacea: Nature’s traditional immune ally. Used for generations to support wellness, Echinacea contains active compounds called cichoric acid and alkylamides. Defend & Resist Complex provides standardized extracts of Echinacea purpurea herb and root for reliable botanical consistency.

Black Elderberry: Antioxidant protection. These dark purple berries are packed with naturally occurring anthocyanins and polyphenols. Their antioxidant activity helps protect cells from oxidative stress, while emerging research suggests additional immune-supporting properties.

Larch Tree: A little-known immune supporter. Western Larch heartwood contains arabinogalactans, specialized plant fibers studied for their ability to interact with immune-system activity. Early clinical research suggests potential benefits for supporting normal immune readiness.

Zinc: The immune system’s essential mineral. Zinc helps immune cells develop, communicate, and function properly. It also supports hundreds of important enzyme reactions throughout your body.

Will Defend & Resist Complex benefit you?

Yes, if…

You’re looking for a natural product that supports healthy immune function in the face of challenges such as colds and flu.
You would like to minimize the “downtime” sometimes experienced during seasonal transitions.
You are concerned about exposure to immune challenges at work, at school, when using public transportation, etc.
You (and your family) want to be prepared for the first moment you feel the need to bolster your immune system.

Be prepared for seasonal challenges!

Convenient Defend & Resist Complex tablets can be swallowed, chewed after dissolving, or prepared as a warm drink according to label instructions.

“Good nutrition doesn’t cost nearly as much as hospital and doctor bills! We all know it takes a strong body to fight off the onslaught of disease.
Wherever there is a weakness in the body, [there] is low resistance against disease. Regardless of the type of disease, better nutrition will assist the body to overcome its effect. Your first line of defense is your nutrition supply.

If you want to get well and stay well, you MUST free your body of accumulated waste and provide the nutritional elements so necessary to strengthen your resistance against disease and to build vital, vigorous tissue cells. THERE IS NO OTHER WAY.“

Nature meets science for immune health

Does the arrival of winter make you think of runny noses, scratchy throats, and days spent feeling miserable? While no supplement can guarantee you’ll avoid seasonal illnesses, you can help support your body’s natural defenses with Shaklee Defend & Resist Complex!

This science-informed formula brings together four ingredients selected for their immune-supporting properties. Each plays a different role in helping maintain a healthy immune response.

Meet your immune-support team!

Echinacea: Nature’s traditional immune ally. Used for generations to support wellness, Echinacea contains active compounds called cichoric acid and alkylamides. Defend & Resist Complex provides standardized extracts of Echinacea purpurea herb and root for reliable botanical consistency.

Black Elderberry: Antioxidant protection. These dark purple berries are packed with naturally occurring anthocyanins and polyphenols. Their antioxidant activity helps protect cells from oxidative stress, while emerging research suggests additional immune-supporting properties.

Larch Tree: A little-known immune supporter. Western Larch heartwood contains arabinogalactans, specialized plant fibers studied for their ability to interact with immune-system activity. Early clinical research suggests potential benefits for supporting normal immune readiness.

Zinc: The immune system’s essential mineral. Zinc helps immune cells develop, communicate, and function properly. It also supports hundreds of important enzyme reactions throughout your body.

Will Defend & Resist Complex benefit you?

Yes, if…

You’re looking for a natural product that supports healthy immune function in the face of challenges such as colds and flu.
You would like to minimize the “downtime” sometimes experienced during seasonal transitions.
You are concerned about exposure to immune challenges at work, at school, when using public transportation, etc.
You (and your family) want to be prepared for the first moment you feel the need to bolster your immune system.

Be prepared for seasonal challenges!

Convenient Defend & Resist Complex tablets can be swallowed, chewed after dissolving, or prepared as a warm drink according to label instructions.

Defend & Resist Complex offers an easy way to give your immune system nutritional support when seasonal challenges arise!

“Good nutrition doesn’t cost nearly as much as hospital and doctor bills! We all know it takes a strong body to fight off the onslaught of disease.
Wherever there is a weakness in the body, [there] is low resistance against disease. Regardless of the type of disease, better nutrition will assist the body to overcome its effect. Your first line of defense is your nutrition supply.

If you want to get well and stay well, you MUST free your body of accumulated waste and provide the nutritional elements so necessary to strengthen your resistance against disease and to build vital, vigorous tissue cells. THERE IS NO OTHER WAY.“

Ready for cold and flu season?

Cold weather brings more than chilly temperatures and shorter days. It’s also a season when respiratory viruses circulate more readily, increasing your chances of catching a cold or the flu. And once infected, there’s no simple antibiotic cure. Although treatments may ease symptoms, your immune system remains your body’s primary defense.

So why wait until you’re sick to think about immunity? Your immune system is an extraordinary network of cells, tissues, and organs working around the clock to recognize and combat harmful invaders. Keeping this defense system functioning properly is a smart investment in your health.

Fortunately, supporting healthy immunity isn’t complicated! Good nutrition, restorative sleep, regular exercise, and stress management help maintain your natural defenses. Shaklee’s science-based supplements can also fill nutritional gaps and provide essential vitamins and minerals that support normal immune function. A little daily attention to your immune health can make a meaningful difference!

---

Your #1 defense

Your first line of defense to avoid getting sick this year is simple… wash your hands! Washing your hands frequently with soap and hot water limits the spread of cold and flu viruses.

Why is this so important? Because you are more likely to contact viruses with your hands than in any other way by touching the handle of a shopping cart or closing a door, for example.

Then you touch your nose, rub your eyes, or get your fingers too close to your mouth, transferring the virus to a mucous membrane where it can multiply and start creating havoc.

So, what are you waiting for?

Go wash your hands!

The invisible army protecting you…

Ever wonder how your body manages to fight off countless invisible invaders every day? Credit your immune system… a remarkably sophisticated defense network that identifies threats, mobilizes protective forces, and helps keep you healthy.

Behind the scenes, four major components work together to protect you.

1. Physical barriers: Keeping germs out!

Your skin and mucous membranes serve as protective shields, making it difficult for harmful microorganisms to enter. From your respiratory passages to your digestive tract, these barriers provide essential frontline protection.

Skin: Your Barrier & Microbiome

2. White blood cells: The body’s security patrol

Known scientifically as leukocytes, these specialized cells circulate through your blood and tissues, searching for trouble. Granulocytes, monocytes, and lymphocytes each have distinct responsibilities, including attacking microbes, removing damaged cells, and recognizing specific threats.

3. Immune molecules: Sending the battle signals

Your immune system relies on chemical communication. Cytokines alert and coordinate immune cells, antibodies recognize specific targets, and complement proteins help eliminate invading microorganisms. Together, they organize an effective response.

4. Immune organs: Where defenses take shape

Your bone marrow produces immune cells, while your thymus supports T-cell development. Meanwhile, your lymph nodes, spleen, tonsils, and intestinal lymphoid tissues help detect threats and coordinate immune activity.

Teamwork makes the difference!

When harmful microbes invade, these defenses spring into action, working together to identify threats, fight infection, and regulate inflammation.

Want to keep this remarkable network functioning effectively? Prioritize restful sleep, regular exercise, stress control, and wholesome nutrition. Antioxidant-rich foods and targeted supplements also help support normal immune function. Your immune system works hard for you… give it the care it deserves!

Beautiful skin starts with a signal!

Dreaming of smoother, firmer, beautifully luminous skin? Your skin naturally knows how to renew itself, but time, stress, and environmental challenges can interfere. Enter new YOUTH Exosome Bio-Signal Serum… an innovative formula featuring three med-spa-inspired technologies designed to awaken your skin’s natural renewal potential.

Three powerful technologies working together!

Spicules: These tiny, needle-like structures create temporary microchannels that encourage surface renewal and help your skin absorb beneficial ingredients more effectively.Exosomes: Think of them as microscopic messengers! Derived from microbiome-related microorganisms, they deliver bioactive signals that support skin communication, renewal, and resilience for a calmer, firmer appearance.

PDRN: This innovative rice-derived ingredient provides DNA fragments that support skin recovery. Its specially optimized molecular size enhances topical delivery, promoting smoother, healthier-looking skin.

The payoff? A fresher, firmer, more radiant complexion with that coveted glass-like glow!
