All Supplements are NOT Alike!
You deserve better than brand X. With so many supplements flooding the market, there is a serious need to be more cautious. The FDA (Federal Drug Administration) doesn't guarantee any vitamin. It usually doesn't get involved until something goes wrong. Many vitamins don't dissolve in our system in time to do us any good. Vital nutrients may never make it into our blood stream. We literally flush money down the toilet! It is our responsibility to tell the truth about supplements. We must warn you about the isrepresentation and abuse of vitamins. The old covered-wagon "snake oil salesman" is alive and well today. Health and cure claims are running wild. People are desperate to believe anything. Because of our commitment to truth and quality, we only recommend all natural supplements. Also the claim that synthetic vitamins are just as good as true natural vitamins is a scientific deception. We also only recommend Shaklee Products in Harmony With Nature and Good Health® because they are the result of a painstaking process of scientific review and assessment of third-party research and independent clinical studies. Each product must perform to a standard of excellence. Each product must deliver the correct dosage of key ingredients, based on clinical research.
