Effective… maybe. But is it safe?

How many different household products have you used in the past week? Do you know what’s in them? Are they safe? What about the possible negative effects upon your health? And… how much do they damage the earth?

From the very beginning, the Shaklee Philosophy incorporated the belief that a healthy lifestyle also includes keeping our planet healthy and safe, as well. Other companies are finally jumping on the bandwagon because a growing number of consumers are refusing to use products that damage not only our health, but the environment, too.

If you haven’t already, take a giant step toward environmental responsibility by replacing all of the cleaners in your home with safe Get Clean household products. You’ll not only be taking a stand against pollution, but you’ll find Get Clean to be more effective, pleasant to use, much more economical and vastly safer, than the products they’re replacing.

Super stains? Try “Super Shaklee”!

What are the worst stains and cleaning problems you encounter? Grease? Motor oil? Ground-in dirt? Carpet stains from pets? Whatever it is, you can find a safe, biodegradable Shaklee answer! With Shaklee cleaners in your home, it’s not necessary to resort to harsh, commercial products, something that people who are concerned about the environment and personal safety are loathe to do.

So what are your worst cleaning chores?

Cooking oils in clothes

For best results, use Fresh Laundry Liquid directly on stain, work into fabric, soak in hot water for 15 minutes, then wash in Fresh Laundry (liquid or powder), adding Nature Bright to the wash water. Make sure stain is gone before putting in dryer. If stain is really set into fabric, try making a paste of Scour Off, Nature Bright and water and letting it soak in before washing. To remove odor from fabric, add 1/4 cup of Basic-G+ to wash water and cut amount of Fresh Laundry slightly.

Motor oil, automotive grease

For best results (stained clothing), rub diluted Scour Off into fabric, soak in hot water for 15 minutes, then wash in Fresh Laundry, adding Nature Bright to the water. Make sure stain is gone before putting in dryer.

For motor oil or automotive grease on other surfaces such as garage floors, wet floor with 1 Tbsp. Basic H2 in a gallon of water, then sprinkle on Dish Washer Automatic Powder and Nature Bright. Work into floor with scrub brush or broom. Allow to soak for 20 minutes then rinse with hot water. Repeat as necessary.

Ground-in dirt

Most tough dirt stains will come out of clothes by pre-spotting with Fresh Laundry Liquid before washing.

Sticky tape residue or gum

Apply Scour Off mixed with a little water to sticky area. Let soak, the rub gently with a micro-fiber pad. Rinse and repeat if necessary. If gum is in carpet or hair, apply Scour Off and water, rub with fingers (for hair) or a sponge (for carpet), then rinse out residue.

Pet stains on carpet

Pet stains come with odor as well. To remove both the stain and the smell, mix 2 Tbsp. Basic-G+ in 1 quart water. Whip or shake until sudsy. Apply suds to stained area, working in well, but taking care not to soak carpet. Allow to dry, then vacuum.

Stains on formica

Most stains of this type come clean with an application of Scour Off and water on a micro-fiber pad. Work into surface, let stand for a few minutes, then rinse.

Why you need iron…

Do you ever feel worn out, too tired to exercise or get through the day? Do you find yourself short of breath? Does your heart suddenly start beating too fast? Are your hands and feet cold? If you have any of these symptoms, you could be deficient in iron.

Iron is a mineral that our bodies need in order to function properly. While iron is important for everyone, women need it more due to their specific reproductive and biological requirements.

One of the most important roles of iron is the production of red blood cells. It is also a part of a compound known as hemoglobin that carries oxygen from the lungs to the body’s tissues and returning carbon dioxide from the same tissues back to the lungs.

Iron deficiency (anemia) is extremely common in the U.S. It can cause extreme tiredness, weakness, and with an inability to concentrate because the cells aren’t getting enough oxygen.
Your body needs iron for:

Energy production

Almost every cell in our body creates energy by burning calories. However, this is a process that requires iron. If you’re suffering from chronic or unexplained fatigue, check your iron level as the compound that transports oxygen within our body contains iron. Without oxygen, your body simply cannot function efficiently. That’s why an optimum level of iron will keep you energetic, healthy, and fit.

Oxygen transport

This is without a doubt the most important role of iron. Every single tissue in the body needs a constant supply of oxygen. Red cells in our blood contain hemoglobin which delivers oxygen to our tissues and then removes carbon dioxide.

Brain function

Since the brain uses roughly 20% of the blood oxygen in our body, iron is directly related to increased cognitive function and improved brain health and a decreased risk of cognitive disorders, such as Alzheimer’s disease and dementia.

Immune strength

When you consume enough iron, your body can fight infections and diseases. Iron also provides oxygen to help heal damaged cells and tissues.

Restful sleep

If you have insomnia, try increasing your iron intake. Why? Red blood cells have a big impact on your sleep, as they help maintain normal blood pressure levels, a factor in your ability to fall asleep.

Enzyme function

Certain enzyme systems heavily rely on the presence of iron. If these systems don’t function properly, they can cause certain organ systems to slow down significantly, or to even shut down in some cases.

Chronic disease treatment

Iron is known for its ability to help in the treatment of certain chronic diseases of the excretory and intestinal system. In fact, iron is a key part of numerous processes in many of the body’s systems.

Regulation of body temperature

When your body temperature is stable, metabolic and enzymatic functions reach an optimal level. Iron plays a key role in this process.

Neurotransmitter synthesis

Iron is vital for the synthesis of numerous essential neurotransmitters, such as serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine. These chemicals have a huge effect on a number of different activities involving neurons. These neurotransmitters are also linked to motivation, energy levels and elevated mood.

Signs that you may need more iron…

Common symptoms of iron deficiency include:

⇒⇒ Shortness of breath
⇒⇒ Fast heartbeat
⇒⇒ Restless leg syndrome
⇒⇒ Sore tongue
⇒⇒ Cold hands and feet
⇒⇒ Trouble concentrating
⇒⇒ Lack of motivation/energy
⇒⇒ Brittle hair and nails
⇒⇒ Mouth sores
⇒⇒ Significant weight changes
⇒⇒ Mood changes
⇒⇒ Difficulty in exercising
⇒⇒ Hair loss
⇒⇒ Difficulty swallowing

Shaklee’s iron-rich supplements…

If you think you may need more iron, try supplementing your diet with:

Liqui-Lea. This time-honored liquid multivitamin, multimineral supplement was Dr. Shaklee’s first product. Named Vitalized Minerals when it was first introduced, Liqui-Lea enters the bloodstream rapidly, carrying nutrients, including iron, to the cells for rapid repair, healing and reproduction. Known in the field as a go-to “spring tonic”, Liqui-Lea helps sluggish cells revive with renewed energy. Try it… you’ll love it!

Iron Plus C Complex. Provides iron in a readily bioavailable form with vitamin C to help increase iron absorption. Each tablet provides 100% of the Daily Value of iron. Iron functions as a structural component of hemoglobin, an essential compound that carries vital oxygen from the lungs to tissues throughout the body.

A History of Innovation

Oh joy! It’s ah-ah-ah-choo season!

Spring… it’s exciting! The grass is green once again, trees are leafing out, birds are singing and flowers are blooming everywhere! For most of us, spring is a time to celebrate!
But for 58 million Americans, spring also means sneezing, runny noses, red eyes and all of the other symptoms of… allergies!

Most spring allergies are triggered by pollen… tiny grains from trees, grasses, and weeds that fertilize other plants. The immune system, mistaking the pollen for foreign invaders, releases antibodies that normally attack bacteria and viruses. The body then floods the blood with histamines, causing the eyes to itch, the nose to run and other allergic responses. This year, try building your immunity against allergies before the sniffles get you with:

♦♦ Alfalfa Complex contains a wealth of minerals, bioflavonoids, protein, vitamins, and chlorophyll.

♦♦ NutriFeron. One of the most powerful formulas ever developed for strengthening the immune system, If you start to feel those allergy symptoms kicking up, some people suggest taking 6 Alfalfa tablets with 3 NutriFeron caplets 2-3 times a day.

Also try:

♦♦ Sustained Release Vita-C
♦♦ Vita-E Complex
♦♦ Defend & Resist Complex
♦♦ Garlic Complex
♦♦ Triple Defense Boost

The Science Behind Immunity

Allergy stats…

⇒⇒ Allergies are the most frequently reported chronic condition in children, limiting activities for more than 40% of them.
⇒⇒ Each year, allergies account for more than 17 million outpatient office visits; half of those are for seasonal allergies.
⇒⇒ More than 7 million doctor visits each year are for skin allergies.
⇒⇒ Food allergies account for 30,000 visits to the emergency room each year.
⇒⇒ 55% of the U.S. population tests positive to one or more allergens.

“There are many different types of cells in the body. Each type forms into the different structures… bone, teeth, muscles, brain, nerves, internal organs, etc., and each type of cell requires a different combination of nutrition. We might compare the various cell types to the various types of buildings, which require different types of construction material. There, however, the comparison ends. The body is an organic structure, and is endowed with life“

The best supplements for…

Shaklee recently introduced MultiTaskers… 2-in-1 supplement formulas that address these specific health issues: Energy + Beauty, Gut Health + Regularity, Sleep + Anti-Aging, Vaginal Health + Urinary Tract Health, and Stress Relief + Improved Mood.

But what if you have different health concerns not addressed by these MultiTaskers? Are there nutrient combinations that can address other specific health issues? Yes… there are!

In this newsletter, we’ll detail nutrient combos and where you can find them if you are concerned about the health of your:

____ Cardiovascular System
____ Immunity
____ Bones and Teeth
____ Nervous System
____ Musculature
____ Endocrine System

No matter what your specific health concern, Shaklee has the supplements you need!

Always start with…

When you’re in the process of addressing health issues nutritionally, it’s always best to begin with a great foundation.

Vita-Lea or Vitalizer and a delicious Life Shake will provide the basic essential nutrients that every cell needs in order to function at its peak. Then… adding supplement combinations to address specific health concerns will just add to your vitality and lifespan.

If you’re not sure where to start adding supplements, try taking the Meology Assessment for truly personalized nutrition.

All About Life Shake

Join Nancy Baldwin and Dr. Jamie McManus, Chair of Medical Affairs for an in-depth review of Life Shake: from the many nutrients that comprise this amazing product, why we commonly refer to it as one of the healthiest meals on the planet, and why it’s unlike anything in the market. In addition, discover why Life Shake is a foundational product in the Shaklee 180 Weight Loss Program and more details behind the Clinically proven results.

What is your health concern?

It’s so good to know that there are synergistic nutrient combinations that can help with many health issues. Here’s what to take if you’re concerned about:

Cardiovascular Health

A healthy cardiovascular system, which includes the heart and blood vessels, plays a crucial role in maintaining overall health. It ensures the efficient circulation of blood, oxygen, and nutrients throughout the body. These nutrients have gained prominence for their potential benefits in promoting heart health.

____ Omega-3 fatty acids (found in Omega-Guard) reduce inflammation, which leads to improved blood pressure control and decreased risk of heart disease.

____ Coenzyme Q10 or CoQ10 (CoQHeart) is a naturally occurring antioxidant that plays a crucial role in energy production within cells, including those in the heart.

____ Magnesium (Sustained Release Vital-Mag, Osteo-Matrix) is an essential mineral that plays a key role in maintaining a regular heartbeat, supporting blood vessel function and lowering risk of cardiovascular issues.

____ Vitamin D (Vita-D3) receptors are present in the heart and blood vessels, and maintaining optimal levels may improve blood pressure regulation and reduce the risk of heart disease.

____ Garlic extract (Garlic Complex) contains allicin, a compound with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that help lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels.

____ Soluble fiber (Life Shake) has been shown to help lower cholesterol levels.

Embrace heartful harmony by combining these supplements with a heart-healthy lifestyle for a resilient cardiovascular system that supports your overall well-being and longevity.

Healthy Immunity

A healthy immune system acts as the body’s defense against infections and illnesses. While a balanced diet, regular exercise, and adequate sleep are essential components of a strong immune system, many individuals turn to specific nutrients to provide an extra boost:

____ Vitamin C (Sustained Release Vita-C, Chewable Vita-C)is involved in various immune functions, including the production of white blood cells and antibodies. An antioxidant, it helps protect cells from damage caused by free radicals.

____ Vitamin D (Vita-D3) supports the production of antimicrobial peptides that help fight off infections.

____ Zinc (Zinc Complex) is involved in the development and function of immune cells and helps regulate inflammation.

____ A significant portion of the immune system resides in the gut, making gut health crucial for overall immunity. Probiotics (Optiflora Sustem, Optiflora DI and Good Gut & Go MultiTasker) are beneficial bacteria that promote a healthy balance of gut flora. They help regulate the immune response and prevent the overgrowth of harmful bacteria.

____ Echinacea (Defend & Resist Complex, Triple Defense Boost) stimulates the immune system, may help reduce the severity and duration of colds and can be a preventive measure against respiratory infections.

____ Elderberry (Shaklee 180 Elderberry Energizing Tea, Defend & Resist Complex, Triple Defense Boost) is rich in antioxidants and contains compounds that may help inhibit the replication of viruses.

Elderberry Tea

Bye coffee and amped-up sodas! Shaklee 180 Energizing Tea in Elderberry is an antioxidant-rich blend of green, white, and red teas that provides a safe and natural pick-me-up. No artificial flavors, sweeteners, colors, or preservatives ever. Available now in the immune-supporting Elderberry flavor!

Bone Health

Maintaining strong and healthy bones is crucial for overall well-being and longevity. While a balanced diet and weight-bearing exercises contribute to bone health, supplements can ensure you are meeting your nutritional needs.

____ Calcium (OsteoMatrix, Chewable Cal Mag Plus) plays a vital role in maintaining bone density and strength. Adequate calcium intake is essential throughout life, with increased importance during childhood, adolescence, and postmenopausal years.

____ Vitamin D (Vita-D3) is crucial for bone health as it helps the body absorb calcium from the diet. Insufficient vitamin D levels can lead to poor calcium absorption, resulting in weakened bones.

____ Magnesium (Vital-Mag, OsteoMatrix) works in synergy with calcium to support bone health. It plays a role in bone mineralization and influences the activity of osteoblasts, the cells responsible for bone formation.

____ Vitamin K (Vita-Lea Gold with K, Vitalizer Gold with K) is essential for bone metabolism as it helps regulate calcium within the bones and blood vessels. It plays a role in the synthesis of proteins involved in bone mineralization.

____ Collagen (Collagen-9, Up & Glowing MultiTasker) provides structure to bones, tendons, and ligaments. Since its production in the body declines with age, a collagen supplement may benefit those experiencing joint discomfort.

____ Boron (Sustained Release VitalMag) influences calcium and magnesium metabolism, increasing bone density.

Chewable Cal Mag Plus

Take a deep dive into our new and improved Chewable Cal Mag Plus with Director of Product Education Nancy Baldwin.

A Healthy Nervous System

A well-functioning nervous system is essential for overall health, influencing everything from cognitive function to motor skills. These nutrients can help:

____ Omega-3 fatty acids (OmegaGuard), particularly EPA and DHA, are essential components of brain cell membranes. These fatty acids support cognitive function and contribute to overall nerve cell health.

____ The B-vitamins (B-Complex), including B1 (thiamine), B6 (pyridoxine), B9 (folate), and B12 (cobalamin), plays a crucial role in nerve function. Thiamine helps nerve cells produce energy, while B6 and B12 are involved in neurotransmitter synthesis. Folate is essential for DNA and RNA synthesis, crucial for nerve cell development and repair.

____ Magnesium (Sustained Release VitalMag) acts as a natural relaxant for nerves and muscles. It plays a role in neurotransmitter release and helps regulate nerve function. Magnesium deficiency may lead to symptoms like muscle cramps and tingling sensations.

____ Vitamin D (Vita-D3) is vital for the nervous system. Vitamin D receptors in the brain play a role in nerve cell protection and function.

____ L-theanine (Shaklee 180 Green Matcha Energizing Tea) is an amino acid known for its calming effects on the nervous system without inducing drowsiness. L-theanine enhances alpha brain waves, promoting a state of relaxed alertness.

____ CoQ10 (CoQHeart) plays a crucial role in the production of cellular energy. It is particularly important for nerve cells, which require significant energy to function optimally.

By addressing your specific health concerns with Shaklee supplement combos, in conjunction with consultation with your healthcare professional when necessary, you’ll experience a more positive outcome.

Omega 3’s | The Science and Benefits

Join Nancy Baldwin for a conversation with Dr. Maciej Chichlowski on Omega 3’s. What they are, the multiple health benefits that can be achieved through consumption and supplementation with Omega 3’s, a review on supporting clinical research including the phenomenal Omega 3 Index results from the Landmark Study.

Healthy Muscles

Maintaining a strong and resilient muscular system is crucial for overall physical health and functionality. Regular exercise and a protein-rich diet are key components of muscle health; however, these nutrients can provide additional support:

____ Proteins (Life Shake, Energizing Soy Protein) comprise the building blocks of muscles, and ensuring an adequate protein intake is essential for muscle development and repair.

____ Branched-Chain Amino Acids or BCAAs (Performance® Advanced Physique® 100% Grass-Fed Whey Protein), including leucine, isoleucine, and valine, are essential amino acids that play a key role in muscle protein synthesis. BCAAs support muscle recovery after intense workouts. They help reduce muscle soreness, promote protein synthesis, and prevent muscle breakdown.

____ Omega-3 fatty acids (OmegaGuard), particularly EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), support the muscular system by reducing inflammation. Inflammation can impair muscle recovery and increase the risk of injury.

____ Vitamin D (Vita-D3) is associated with improved muscle strength and performance.

____ Magnesium (VitalMag) helps muscles contract and relax. It is also involved in the production of ATP, supporting energy metabolism within muscle cells.

A Healthy Endocrine System

The endocrine system, comprised of glands that produce hormones, plays a pivotal role in regulating various bodily functions, including metabolism, growth, and mood. A well-functioning endocrine system is crucial for overall health, and these nutrients can support optimal function:

____ Ashwagandha (Stress Relief Complex, Cheer Up & Chill Out MultiTasker), an adaptogenic herb, modulates the stress response, supporting hormonal balance and reducing the negative impact of chronic stress on the endocrine system. Chronic stress can disrupt the balance of hormones in the endocrine system, leading to various health issues.

____ Omega-3 fatty acids (OmegaGuard), particularly EPA and DHA have anti-inflammatory properties that can positively influence the endocrine system. Chronic inflammation can disrupt hormonal balance.

____ Vitamin D (Vita-D3) acts as a hormone itself and is crucial for the proper functioning of the parathyroid glands, which regulate calcium levels in the body.

____ Selenium (Vita-E Complex, Vita-E 400 IU) plays a critical role in thyroid function. The thyroid gland produces hormones essential for metabolism and overall energy regulation. Selenium supports the conversion of thyroid hormones and protects the thyroid gland from oxidative stress.

____ Magnesium (VitalMag) is involved in various enzymatic reactions, including those related to insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism. Maintaining balanced blood sugar levels is crucial for overall endocrine health.

A natural way to prevent body odor…

Yuck! We have all experienced it… that sweaty underarm odor from a heavy workout or mowing the lawn on a hot day; foot odor from socks when you take off your shoes; bad breath after too much garlic, onions, alcohol, or coffee; that acrid smell from a fever or illness.

Usually the odor disappears after a shower and change of clothes. But with some people, body or breath odor is a persistent, chronic problem… one which can indicate a serious health condition.

Chronic body odor can stem from constipation, allowing bacteria and toxins to overload the intestinal tract. The excess poison is dumped into the bloodstream then leached out from the sweat glands near the skin’s surface, creating a constant, foul body odor. Eventually, this condition can lead to serious illness.

Taking Herb-Lax, EZ-Gest and fiber-rich Life Shake for better elimination, and Alfalfa Complex and Zinc for their odor-neutralizing effect, is a great solution. Then, switch to a better diet for long-term health benefits.

For bathing, use Meadow Blend Soap-Free Cleansing Bars or Revitalize Body Wash. And of course, Shaklee offers aluminum-free Protect Deodorant to neutralize underarm odor naturally. This arrowroot and zinc-based deodorant with charcoal neutralizes odor and absorbs wetness,

Stinky clothes?

If odors cling to your clothes because they are not being thoroughly cleaned during washing (often the case with residue-laden commercial laundry products), try switching to Get Clean Fresh Laundry products, adding some Nature Bright Laundry Booster and Stain Remover. For heavy odors in clothes, add 1/4 cup of Basic-G+ to the wash water. Clothes will come out thoroughly clean and odor-free instead of perfumey and full of fillers and detergent residue.

The best supplements for…

Shaklee recently introduced MultiTaskers… 2-in-1 supplement formulas that address these specific health issues: Energy + Beauty, Gut Health + Regularity, Sleep + Anti-Aging, Vaginal Health + Urinary Tract Health, and Stress Relief + Improved Mood.

But what if you have different health concerns not addressed by these MultiTaskers? Are there nutrient combinations that can address other specific health issues? Yes… there are!

In this newsletter, we’ll detail nutrient combos and where you can find them if you are concerned about the health of your:

____ Cardiovascular System
____ Immunity
____ Bones and Teeth
____ Nervous System
____ Musculature
____ Endocrine System

No matter what your specific health concern, Shaklee has the supplements you need!

Always start with…

When you’re in the process of addressing health issues nutritionally, it’s always best to begin with a great foundation.

Vita-Lea or Vitalizer and a delicious Life Shake will provide the basic essential nutrients that every cell needs in order to function at its peak. Then… adding supplement combinations to address specific health concerns will just add to your vitality and lifespan.

If you’re not sure where to start adding supplements, try taking the Meology Assessment for truly personalized nutrition.

All About Life Shake

Join Nancy Baldwin and Dr. Jamie McManus, Chair of Medical Affairs for an in-depth review of Life Shake: from the many nutrients that comprise this amazing product, why we commonly refer to it as one of the healthiest meals on the planet, and why it’s unlike anything in the market. In addition, discover why Life Shake is a foundational product in the Shaklee 180 Weight Loss Program and more details behind the Clinically proven results.

What is your health concern?

It’s so good to know that there are synergistic nutrient combinations that can help with many health issues. Here’s what to take if you’re concerned about:

Cardiovascular Health

A healthy cardiovascular system, which includes the heart and blood vessels, plays a crucial role in maintaining overall health. It ensures the efficient circulation of blood, oxygen, and nutrients throughout the body. These nutrients have gained prominence for their potential benefits in promoting heart health.

____ Omega-3 fatty acids (found in Omega-Guard) reduce inflammation, which leads to improved blood pressure control and decreased risk of heart disease.

____ Coenzyme Q10 or CoQ10 (CoQHeart) is a naturally occurring antioxidant that plays a crucial role in energy production within cells, including those in the heart.

____ Magnesium (Sustained Release Vital-Mag, Osteo-Matrix) is an essential mineral that plays a key role in maintaining a regular heartbeat, supporting blood vessel function and lowering risk of cardiovascular issues.

____ Vitamin D (Vita-D3) receptors are present in the heart and blood vessels, and maintaining optimal levels may improve blood pressure regulation and reduce the risk of heart disease.

____ Garlic extract (Garlic Complex) contains allicin, a compound with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that help lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels.

____ Soluble fiber (Life Shake) has been shown to help lower cholesterol levels.

Embrace heartful harmony by combining these supplements with a heart-healthy lifestyle for a resilient cardiovascular system that supports your overall well-being and longevity.

Healthy Immunity

A healthy immune system acts as the body’s defense against infections and illnesses. While a balanced diet, regular exercise, and adequate sleep are essential components of a strong immune system, many individuals turn to specific nutrients to provide an extra boost:

____ Vitamin C (Sustained Release Vita-C, Chewable Vita-C)is involved in various immune functions, including the production of white blood cells and antibodies. An antioxidant, it helps protect cells from damage caused by free radicals.

____ Vitamin D (Vita-D3) supports the production of antimicrobial peptides that help fight off infections.

____ Zinc (Zinc Complex) is involved in the development and function of immune cells and helps regulate inflammation.

____ A significant portion of the immune system resides in the gut, making gut health crucial for overall immunity. Probiotics (Optiflora Sustem, Optiflora DI and Good Gut & Go MultiTasker) are beneficial bacteria that promote a healthy balance of gut flora. They help regulate the immune response and prevent the overgrowth of harmful bacteria.

____ Echinacea (Defend & Resist Complex, Triple Defense Boost) stimulates the immune system, may help reduce the severity and duration of colds and can be a preventive measure against respiratory infections.

____ Elderberry (Shaklee 180 Elderberry Energizing Tea, Defend & Resist Complex, Triple Defense Boost) is rich in antioxidants and contains compounds that may help inhibit the replication of viruses.

Elderberry Tea

Bye coffee and amped-up sodas! Shaklee 180 Energizing Tea in Elderberry is an antioxidant-rich blend of green, white, and red teas that provides a safe and natural pick-me-up. No artificial flavors, sweeteners, colors, or preservatives ever. Available now in the immune-supporting Elderberry flavor!

Bone Health

Maintaining strong and healthy bones is crucial for overall well-being and longevity. While a balanced diet and weight-bearing exercises contribute to bone health, supplements can ensure you are meeting your nutritional needs.

____ Calcium (OsteoMatrix, Chewable Cal Mag Plus) plays a vital role in maintaining bone density and strength. Adequate calcium intake is essential throughout life, with increased importance during childhood, adolescence, and postmenopausal years.

____ Vitamin D (Vita-D3) is crucial for bone health as it helps the body absorb calcium from the diet. Insufficient vitamin D levels can lead to poor calcium absorption, resulting in weakened bones.

____ Magnesium (Vital-Mag, OsteoMatrix) works in synergy with calcium to support bone health. It plays a role in bone mineralization and influences the activity of osteoblasts, the cells responsible for bone formation.

____ Vitamin K (Vita-Lea Gold with K, Vitalizer Gold with K) is essential for bone metabolism as it helps regulate calcium within the bones and blood vessels. It plays a role in the synthesis of proteins involved in bone mineralization.

____ Collagen (Collagen-9, Up & Glowing MultiTasker) provides structure to bones, tendons, and ligaments. Since its production in the body declines with age, a collagen supplement may benefit those experiencing joint discomfort.

____ Boron (Sustained Release VitalMag) influences calcium and magnesium metabolism, increasing bone density.

Chewable Cal Mag Plus

Take a deep dive into our new and improved Chewable Cal Mag Plus with Director of Product Education Nancy Baldwin.

A Healthy Nervous System

A well-functioning nervous system is essential for overall health, influencing everything from cognitive function to motor skills. These nutrients can help:

____ Omega-3 fatty acids (OmegaGuard), particularly EPA and DHA, are essential components of brain cell membranes. These fatty acids support cognitive function and contribute to overall nerve cell health.

____ The B-vitamins (B-Complex), including B1 (thiamine), B6 (pyridoxine), B9 (folate), and B12 (cobalamin), plays a crucial role in nerve function. Thiamine helps nerve cells produce energy, while B6 and B12 are involved in neurotransmitter synthesis. Folate is essential for DNA and RNA synthesis, crucial for nerve cell development and repair.

____ Magnesium (Sustained Release VitalMag) acts as a natural relaxant for nerves and muscles. It plays a role in neurotransmitter release and helps regulate nerve function. Magnesium deficiency may lead to symptoms like muscle cramps and tingling sensations.

____ Vitamin D (Vita-D3) is vital for the nervous system. Vitamin D receptors in the brain play a role in nerve cell protection and function.

____ L-theanine (Shaklee 180 Green Matcha Energizing Tea) is an amino acid known for its calming effects on the nervous system without inducing drowsiness. L-theanine enhances alpha brain waves, promoting a state of relaxed alertness.

____ CoQ10 (CoQHeart) plays a crucial role in the production of cellular energy. It is particularly important for nerve cells, which require significant energy to function optimally.

By addressing your specific health concerns with Shaklee supplement combos, in conjunction with consultation with your healthcare professional when necessary, you’ll experience a more positive outcome.

All About Life Shake

Join Nancy Baldwin and Dr. Jamie McManus, Chair of Medical Affairs for an in-depth review of Life Shake: from the many nutrients that comprise this amazing product, why we commonly refer to it as one of the healthiest meals on the planet, and why it’s unlike anything in the market. In addition, discover why Life Shake is a foundational product in the Shaklee 180 Weight Loss Program and more details behind the Clinically proven results.

What is your health concern?

It’s so good to know that there are synergistic nutrient combinations that can help with many health issues. Here’s what to take if you’re concerned about:

Cardiovascular Health

A healthy cardiovascular system, which includes the heart and blood vessels, plays a crucial role in maintaining overall health. It ensures the efficient circulation of blood, oxygen, and nutrients throughout the body. These nutrients have gained prominence for their potential benefits in promoting heart health.

____ Omega-3 fatty acids (found in Omega-Guard) reduce inflammation, which leads to improved blood pressure control and decreased risk of heart disease.

____ Coenzyme Q10 or CoQ10 (CoQHeart) is a naturally occurring antioxidant that plays a crucial role in energy production within cells, including those in the heart.

____ Magnesium (Sustained Release Vital-Mag, Osteo-Matrix) is an essential mineral that plays a key role in maintaining a regular heartbeat, supporting blood vessel function and lowering risk of cardiovascular issues.

____ Vitamin D (Vita-D3) receptors are present in the heart and blood vessels, and maintaining optimal levels may improve blood pressure regulation and reduce the risk of heart disease.

____ Garlic extract (Garlic Complex) contains allicin, a compound with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that help lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels.

____ Soluble fiber (Life Shake) has been shown to help lower cholesterol levels.

Embrace heartful harmony by combining these supplements with a heart-healthy lifestyle for a resilient cardiovascular system that supports your overall well-being and longevity.

Healthy Immunity

A healthy immune system acts as the body’s defense against infections and illnesses. While a balanced diet, regular exercise, and adequate sleep are essential components of a strong immune system, many individuals turn to specific nutrients to provide an extra boost:

____ Vitamin C (Sustained Release Vita-C, Chewable Vita-C)is involved in various immune functions, including the production of white blood cells and antibodies. An antioxidant, it helps protect cells from damage caused by free radicals.

____ Vitamin D (Vita-D3) supports the production of antimicrobial peptides that help fight off infections.

____ Zinc (Zinc Complex) is involved in the development and function of immune cells and helps regulate inflammation.

____ A significant portion of the immune system resides in the gut, making gut health crucial for overall immunity. Probiotics (Optiflora Sustem, Optiflora DI and Good Gut & Go MultiTasker) are beneficial bacteria that promote a healthy balance of gut flora. They help regulate the immune response and prevent the overgrowth of harmful bacteria.

____ Echinacea (Defend & Resist Complex, Triple Defense Boost) stimulates the immune system, may help reduce the severity and duration of colds and can be a preventive measure against respiratory infections.

____ Elderberry (Shaklee 180 Elderberry Energizing Tea, Defend & Resist Complex, Triple Defense Boost) is rich in antioxidants and contains compounds that may help inhibit the replication of viruses.

Elderberry Tea

Bye coffee and amped-up sodas! Shaklee 180 Energizing Tea in Elderberry is an antioxidant-rich blend of green, white, and red teas that provides a safe and natural pick-me-up. No artificial flavors, sweeteners, colors, or preservatives ever. Available now in the immune-supporting Elderberry flavor!

Bone Health

Maintaining strong and healthy bones is crucial for overall well-being and longevity. While a balanced diet and weight-bearing exercises contribute to bone health, supplements can ensure you are meeting your nutritional needs.

____ Calcium (OsteoMatrix, Chewable Cal Mag Plus) plays a vital role in maintaining bone density and strength. Adequate calcium intake is essential throughout life, with increased importance during childhood, adolescence, and postmenopausal years.

____ Vitamin D (Vita-D3) is crucial for bone health as it helps the body absorb calcium from the diet. Insufficient vitamin D levels can lead to poor calcium absorption, resulting in weakened bones.

____ Magnesium (Vital-Mag, OsteoMatrix) works in synergy with calcium to support bone health. It plays a role in bone mineralization and influences the activity of osteoblasts, the cells responsible for bone formation.

____ Vitamin K (Vita-Lea Gold with K, Vitalizer Gold with K) is essential for bone metabolism as it helps regulate calcium within the bones and blood vessels. It plays a role in the synthesis of proteins involved in bone mineralization.

____ Collagen (Collagen-9, Up & Glowing MultiTasker) provides structure to bones, tendons, and ligaments. Since its production in the body declines with age, a collagen supplement may benefit those experiencing joint discomfort.

____ Boron (Sustained Release VitalMag) influences calcium and magnesium metabolism, increasing bone density.

Chewable Cal Mag Plus

Take a deep dive into our new and improved Chewable Cal Mag Plus with Director of Product Education Nancy Baldwin.

A Healthy Nervous System

A well-functioning nervous system is essential for overall health, influencing everything from cognitive function to motor skills. These nutrients can help:

____ Omega-3 fatty acids (OmegaGuard), particularly EPA and DHA, are essential components of brain cell membranes. These fatty acids support cognitive function and contribute to overall nerve cell health.

____ The B-vitamins (B-Complex), including B1 (thiamine), B6 (pyridoxine), B9 (folate), and B12 (cobalamin), plays a crucial role in nerve function. Thiamine helps nerve cells produce energy, while B6 and B12 are involved in neurotransmitter synthesis. Folate is essential for DNA and RNA synthesis, crucial for nerve cell development and repair.

____ Magnesium (Sustained Release VitalMag) acts as a natural relaxant for nerves and muscles. It plays a role in neurotransmitter release and helps regulate nerve function. Magnesium deficiency may lead to symptoms like muscle cramps and tingling sensations.

____ Vitamin D (Vita-D3) is vital for the nervous system. Vitamin D receptors in the brain play a role in nerve cell protection and function.

____ L-theanine (Shaklee 180 Green Matcha Energizing Tea) is an amino acid known for its calming effects on the nervous system without inducing drowsiness. L-theanine enhances alpha brain waves, promoting a state of relaxed alertness.

____ CoQ10 (CoQHeart) plays a crucial role in the production of cellular energy. It is particularly important for nerve cells, which require significant energy to function optimally.

By addressing your specific health concerns with Shaklee supplement combos, in conjunction with consultation with your healthcare professional when necessary, you’ll experience a more positive outcome.

Omega 3’s | The Science and Benefits

Join Nancy Baldwin for a conversation with Dr. Maciej Chichlowski on Omega 3’s. What they are, the multiple health benefits that can be achieved through consumption and supplementation with Omega 3’s, a review on supporting clinical research including the phenomenal Omega 3 Index results from the Landmark Study.

Healthy Muscles

Maintaining a strong and resilient muscular system is crucial for overall physical health and functionality. Regular exercise and a protein-rich diet are key components of muscle health; however, these nutrients can provide additional support:

____ Proteins (Life Shake, Energizing Soy Protein) comprise the building blocks of muscles, and ensuring an adequate protein intake is essential for muscle development and repair.

____ Branched-Chain Amino Acids or BCAAs (Performance® Advanced Physique® 100% Grass-Fed Whey Protein), including leucine, isoleucine, and valine, are essential amino acids that play a key role in muscle protein synthesis. BCAAs support muscle recovery after intense workouts. They help reduce muscle soreness, promote protein synthesis, and prevent muscle breakdown.

____ Omega-3 fatty acids (OmegaGuard), particularly EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), support the muscular system by reducing inflammation. Inflammation can impair muscle recovery and increase the risk of injury.

____ Vitamin D (Vita-D3) is associated with improved muscle strength and performance.

____ Magnesium (VitalMag) helps muscles contract and relax. It is also involved in the production of ATP, supporting energy metabolism within muscle cells.

A Healthy Endocrine System

The endocrine system, comprised of glands that produce hormones, plays a pivotal role in regulating various bodily functions, including metabolism, growth, and mood. A well-functioning endocrine system is crucial for overall health, and these nutrients can support optimal function:

____ Ashwagandha (Stress Relief Complex, Cheer Up & Chill Out MultiTasker), an adaptogenic herb, modulates the stress response, supporting hormonal balance and reducing the negative impact of chronic stress on the endocrine system. Chronic stress can disrupt the balance of hormones in the endocrine system, leading to various health issues.

____ Omega-3 fatty acids (OmegaGuard), particularly EPA and DHA have anti-inflammatory properties that can positively influence the endocrine system. Chronic inflammation can disrupt hormonal balance.

____ Vitamin D (Vita-D3) acts as a hormone itself and is crucial for the proper functioning of the parathyroid glands, which regulate calcium levels in the body.

____ Selenium (Vita-E Complex, Vita-E 400 IU) plays a critical role in thyroid function. The thyroid gland produces hormones essential for metabolism and overall energy regulation. Selenium supports the conversion of thyroid hormones and protects the thyroid gland from oxidative stress.

____ Magnesium (VitalMag) is involved in various enzymatic reactions, including those related to insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism. Maintaining balanced blood sugar levels is crucial for overall endocrine health.

Stress Relief Complex

Stress, it’s something we all face every day! Join Nancy Baldwin, Director of Product Education for some tips on managing stress and how Shaklee Stress Relief Complex addresses acute stress symptoms on multiple fronts. 

A natural way to prevent body odor…

Yuck! We have all experienced it… that sweaty underarm odor from a heavy workout or mowing the lawn on a hot day; foot odor from socks when you take off your shoes; bad breath after too much garlic, onions, alcohol, or coffee; that acrid smell from a fever or illness.

Usually the odor disappears after a shower and change of clothes. But with some people, body or breath odor is a persistent, chronic problem… one which can indicate a serious health condition.

Chronic body odor can stem from constipation, allowing bacteria and toxins to overload the intestinal tract. The excess poison is dumped into the bloodstream then leached out from the sweat glands near the skin’s surface, creating a constant, foul body odor. Eventually, this condition can lead to serious illness.

Taking Herb-Lax, EZ-Gest and fiber-rich Life Shake for better elimination, and Alfalfa Complex and Zinc for their odor-neutralizing effect, is a great solution. Then, switch to a better diet for long-term health benefits.

For bathing, use Meadow Blend Soap-Free Cleansing Bars or Revitalize Body Wash. And of course, Shaklee offers aluminum-free Protect Deodorant to neutralize underarm odor naturally. This arrowroot and zinc-based deodorant with charcoal neutralizes odor and absorbs wetness,

  • And how to start promoting and selling this new product!

Stinky clothes?

If odors cling to your clothes because they are not being thoroughly cleaned during washing (often the case with residue-laden commercial laundry products), try switching to Get Clean Fresh Laundry products, adding some Nature Bright Laundry Booster and Stain Remover. For heavy odors in clothes, add 1/4 cup of Basic-G+ to the wash water. Clothes will come out thoroughly clean and odor-free instead of perfumey and full of fillers and detergent residue.

“There are many different types of cells in the body. Each type forms into the different structures… bone, teeth, muscles, brain, nerves, internal organs, etc., and each type of cell requires a different combination of nutrition. We might compare the various cell types to the various types of buildings, which require different types of construction material. There, however, the comparison ends. The body is an organic structure, and is endowed with life“

Omega 3’s | The Science and Benefits

Join Nancy Baldwin for a conversation with Dr. Maciej Chichlowski on Omega 3’s. What they are, the multiple health benefits that can be achieved through consumption and supplementation with Omega 3’s, a review on supporting clinical research including the phenomenal Omega 3 Index results from the Landmark Study.

Healthy Muscles

Maintaining a strong and resilient muscular system is crucial for overall physical health and functionality. Regular exercise and a protein-rich diet are key components of muscle health; however, these nutrients can provide additional support:

____ Proteins (Life Shake, Energizing Soy Protein) comprise the building blocks of muscles, and ensuring an adequate protein intake is essential for muscle development and repair.

____ Branched-Chain Amino Acids or BCAAs (Performance® Advanced Physique® 100% Grass-Fed Whey Protein), including leucine, isoleucine, and valine, are essential amino acids that play a key role in muscle protein synthesis. BCAAs support muscle recovery after intense workouts. They help reduce muscle soreness, promote protein synthesis, and prevent muscle breakdown.

____ Omega-3 fatty acids (OmegaGuard), particularly EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), support the muscular system by reducing inflammation. Inflammation can impair muscle recovery and increase the risk of injury.

____ Vitamin D (Vita-D3) is associated with improved muscle strength and performance.

____ Magnesium (VitalMag) helps muscles contract and relax. It is also involved in the production of ATP, supporting energy metabolism within muscle cells.

A Healthy Endocrine System

The endocrine system, comprised of glands that produce hormones, plays a pivotal role in regulating various bodily functions, including metabolism, growth, and mood. A well-functioning endocrine system is crucial for overall health, and these nutrients can support optimal function:

____ Ashwagandha (Stress Relief Complex, Cheer Up & Chill Out MultiTasker), an adaptogenic herb, modulates the stress response, supporting hormonal balance and reducing the negative impact of chronic stress on the endocrine system. Chronic stress can disrupt the balance of hormones in the endocrine system, leading to various health issues.

____ Omega-3 fatty acids (OmegaGuard), particularly EPA and DHA have anti-inflammatory properties that can positively influence the endocrine system. Chronic inflammation can disrupt hormonal balance.

____ Vitamin D (Vita-D3) acts as a hormone itself and is crucial for the proper functioning of the parathyroid glands, which regulate calcium levels in the body.

A natural way to prevent body odor…

Yuck! We have all experienced it… that sweaty underarm odor from a heavy workout or mowing the lawn on a hot day; foot odor from socks when you take off your shoes; bad breath after too much garlic, onions, alcohol, or coffee; that acrid smell from a fever or illness.

Usually the odor disappears after a shower and change of clothes. But with some people, body or breath odor is a persistent, chronic problem… one which can indicate a serious health condition.

Chronic body odor can stem from constipation, allowing bacteria and toxins to overload the intestinal tract. The excess poison is dumped into the bloodstream then leached out from the sweat glands near the skin’s surface, creating a constant, foul body odor. Eventually, this condition can lead to serious illness.

Taking Herb-Lax, EZ-Gest and fiber-rich Life Shake for better elimination, and Alfalfa Complex and Zinc for their odor-neutralizing effect, is a great solution. Then, switch to a better diet for long-term health benefits.

For bathing, use Meadow Blend Soap-Free Cleansing Bars or Revitalize Body Wash. And of course, Shaklee offers aluminum-free Protect Deodorant to neutralize underarm odor naturally. This arrowroot and zinc-based deodorant with charcoal neutralizes odor and absorbs wetness,

Stinky clothes?

If odors cling to your clothes because they are not being thoroughly cleaned during washing (often the case with residue-laden commercial laundry products), try switching to Get Clean Fresh Laundry products, adding some Nature Bright Laundry Booster and Stain Remover. For heavy odors in clothes, add 1/4 cup of Basic-G+ to the wash water. Clothes will come out thoroughly clean and odor-free instead of perfumey and full of fillers and detergent residue.

“There are many different types of cells in the body. Each type forms into the different structures… bone, teeth, muscles, brain, nerves, internal organs, etc., and each type of cell requires a different combination of nutrition. We might compare the various cell types to the various types of buildings, which require different types of construction material. There, however, the comparison ends. The body is an organic structure, and is endowed with life“

The best supplements for…

Shaklee recently introduced MultiTaskers… 2-in-1 supplement formulas that address these specific health issues: Energy + Beauty, Gut Health + Regularity, Sleep + Anti-Aging, Vaginal Health + Urinary Tract Health, and Stress Relief + Improved Mood.

But what if you have different health concerns not addressed by these MultiTaskers? Are there nutrient combinations that can address other specific health issues? Yes… there are!

In this newsletter, we’ll detail nutrient combos and where you can find them if you are concerned about the health of your:

____ Cardiovascular System
____ Immunity
____ Bones and Teeth
____ Nervous System
____ Musculature
____ Endocrine System

No matter what your specific health concern, Shaklee has the supplements you need!

Always start with…

When you’re in the process of addressing health issues nutritionally, it’s always best to begin with a great foundation.

Vita-Lea or Vitalizer and a delicious Life Shake will provide the basic essential nutrients that every cell needs in order to function at its peak. Then… adding supplement combinations to address specific health concerns will just add to your vitality and lifespan.

If you’re not sure where to start adding supplements, try taking the Meology Assessment for truly personalized nutrition.

All About Life Shake

Join Nancy Baldwin and Dr. Jamie McManus, Chair of Medical Affairs for an in-depth review of Life Shake: from the many nutrients that comprise this amazing product, why we commonly refer to it as one of the healthiest meals on the planet, and why it’s unlike anything in the market. In addition, discover why Life Shake is a foundational product in the Shaklee 180 Weight Loss Program and more details behind the Clinically proven results.

What is your health concern?

It’s so good to know that there are synergistic nutrient combinations that can help with many health issues. Here’s what to take if you’re concerned about:

Cardiovascular Health

A healthy cardiovascular system, which includes the heart and blood vessels, plays a crucial role in maintaining overall health. It ensures the efficient circulation of blood, oxygen, and nutrients throughout the body. These nutrients have gained prominence for their potential benefits in promoting heart health.

____ Omega-3 fatty acids (found in Omega-Guard) reduce inflammation, which leads to improved blood pressure control and decreased risk of heart disease.

____ Coenzyme Q10 or CoQ10 (CoQHeart) is a naturally occurring antioxidant that plays a crucial role in energy production within cells, including those in the heart.

____ Magnesium (Sustained Release Vital-Mag, Osteo-Matrix) is an essential mineral that plays a key role in maintaining a regular heartbeat, supporting blood vessel function and lowering risk of cardiovascular issues.

____ Vitamin D (Vita-D3) receptors are present in the heart and blood vessels, and maintaining optimal levels may improve blood pressure regulation and reduce the risk of heart disease.

____ Garlic extract (Garlic Complex) contains allicin, a compound with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that help lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels.

____ Soluble fiber (Life Shake) has been shown to help lower cholesterol levels.

Embrace heartful harmony by combining these supplements with a heart-healthy lifestyle for a resilient cardiovascular system that supports your overall well-being and longevity.

Healthy Immunity

A healthy immune system acts as the body’s defense against infections and illnesses. While a balanced diet, regular exercise, and adequate sleep are essential components of a strong immune system, many individuals turn to specific nutrients to provide an extra boost:

____ Vitamin C (Sustained Release Vita-C, Chewable Vita-C)is involved in various immune functions, including the production of white blood cells and antibodies. An antioxidant, it helps protect cells from damage caused by free radicals.

____ Vitamin D (Vita-D3) supports the production of antimicrobial peptides that help fight off infections.

____ Zinc (Zinc Complex) is involved in the development and function of immune cells and helps regulate inflammation.

____ A significant portion of the immune system resides in the gut, making gut health crucial for overall immunity. Probiotics (Optiflora Sustem, Optiflora DI and Good Gut & Go MultiTasker) are beneficial bacteria that promote a healthy balance of gut flora. They help regulate the immune response and prevent the overgrowth of harmful bacteria.

____ Echinacea (Defend & Resist Complex, Triple Defense Boost) stimulates the immune system, may help reduce the severity and duration of colds and can be a preventive measure against respiratory infections.

____ Elderberry (Shaklee 180 Elderberry Energizing Tea, Defend & Resist Complex, Triple Defense Boost) is rich in antioxidants and contains compounds that may help inhibit the replication of viruses.

Elderberry Tea

Bye coffee and amped-up sodas! Shaklee 180 Energizing Tea in Elderberry is an antioxidant-rich blend of green, white, and red teas that provides a safe and natural pick-me-up. No artificial flavors, sweeteners, colors, or preservatives ever. Available now in the immune-supporting Elderberry flavor!

Bone Health

Maintaining strong and healthy bones is crucial for overall well-being and longevity. While a balanced diet and weight-bearing exercises contribute to bone health, supplements can ensure you are meeting your nutritional needs.

____ Calcium (OsteoMatrix, Chewable Cal Mag Plus) plays a vital role in maintaining bone density and strength. Adequate calcium intake is essential throughout life, with increased importance during childhood, adolescence, and postmenopausal years.

____ Vitamin D (Vita-D3) is crucial for bone health as it helps the body absorb calcium from the diet. Insufficient vitamin D levels can lead to poor calcium absorption, resulting in weakened bones.

____ Magnesium (Vital-Mag, OsteoMatrix) works in synergy with calcium to support bone health. It plays a role in bone mineralization and influences the activity of osteoblasts, the cells responsible for bone formation.

____ Vitamin K (Vita-Lea Gold with K, Vitalizer Gold with K) is essential for bone metabolism as it helps regulate calcium within the bones and blood vessels. It plays a role in the synthesis of proteins involved in bone mineralization.

____ Collagen (Collagen-9, Up & Glowing MultiTasker) provides structure to bones, tendons, and ligaments. Since its production in the body declines with age, a collagen supplement may benefit those experiencing joint discomfort.

____ Boron (Sustained Release VitalMag) influences calcium and magnesium metabolism, increasing bone density.

Chewable Cal Mag Plus

Take a deep dive into our new and improved Chewable Cal Mag Plus with Director of Product Education Nancy Baldwin.

A Healthy Nervous System

A well-functioning nervous system is essential for overall health, influencing everything from cognitive function to motor skills. These nutrients can help:

____ Omega-3 fatty acids (OmegaGuard), particularly EPA and DHA, are essential components of brain cell membranes. These fatty acids support cognitive function and contribute to overall nerve cell health.

____ The B-vitamins (B-Complex), including B1 (thiamine), B6 (pyridoxine), B9 (folate), and B12 (cobalamin), plays a crucial role in nerve function. Thiamine helps nerve cells produce energy, while B6 and B12 are involved in neurotransmitter synthesis. Folate is essential for DNA and RNA synthesis, crucial for nerve cell development and repair.

____ Magnesium (Sustained Release VitalMag) acts as a natural relaxant for nerves and muscles. It plays a role in neurotransmitter release and helps regulate nerve function. Magnesium deficiency may lead to symptoms like muscle cramps and tingling sensations.

____ Vitamin D (Vita-D3) is vital for the nervous system. Vitamin D receptors in the brain play a role in nerve cell protection and function.

____ L-theanine (Shaklee 180 Green Matcha Energizing Tea) is an amino acid known for its calming effects on the nervous system without inducing drowsiness. L-theanine enhances alpha brain waves, promoting a state of relaxed alertness.
