CorEnergy

Cordyceps sinensis is a fancy name for a particular mushroom that has been used for a very long time in Traditional Chinese and Tibetan Medicine and has a reputation even in Western medicine.  This medicinal mushroom is highly prized as a treatment for everything from fatigue to cancer, treating high cholesterol to ringing in the ears.  This little mushroom has been extensively tested and found to enhance stamina, possibly by promoting a more efficient use of oxygen and enhancing cardiovascular health.


For thousands of years, Panax Ginseng has been a part of Traditional Chinese Medicine as a treatment for a variety of ailments ranging from anxiety to diabetes to heart and lung conditions to the cold and flu, for brightening the eyes and enlightening the mind.  Panax Ginseng is said to promote energy, improve circulation, increase blood supply, revitalize, stimulate the body and aids in recovery.  Ginseng is an adaptogen - it increases the body's ability to tolerate stressful situations of all types.  It is commonly taken to increase energy, enhance physical performance and to prolong life.

Green Tea has been a medicinal tea in the Orient for thousands of years.  Green tea is both a stimulant and an antioxidant with a diversity of healing applications.  Used as treatments for asthma, heart disease, cancers, cirrhosis of the liver, diabetes, ear infections and the flu as well as a treatment for the herpes virus infections, eczema and even wrinkles, Green Tea has shown it's variety of benefits beyond simply increasing energy.  There are individuals who should not take Green Tea because it can counteract certain prescription medications so be sure to check with your physician before taking any products containing Green Tea.

Three CorEnergy capsules provide herbal adaptogens and antioxidant phytonutrients that support the body's own ability to maintain energy and enhance stamina.  CorEnergy is certified Gluten Free and comes in a certified Kosher formula too.

Prebiotic Complex

Bacteria.  Most of us are busy with anti-bacterial this and that yet our colon requires bacteria to maintain health.  Not all bacteria is bad.  In fact, many bacteria are very good and vital for our good health.

When we are ill or when we've taken medications like antibiotics the microorganisms in our colon take a big hit.  Antibiotics kill them and illness can upset the balance required for good health.  You've probably heard that it's a good idea to eat a lot of yogurt when you're taking antibiotics to keep your gut healthy.  There is truth to that!  Yogurt, however, isn't enough to maintain balance.  It is this intestinal bacteria that aids in our digestion but also is a big part of our immune system.

Prebiotics are nutrients that are not digested but provide an energy source for the friendly bacteria so they can not only survive but thrive.  Sometimes we need to give these microorganisms a little TLC.


Preliminary evidence shows that prebiotics may have a role in:
  • Improving diarrhea
  • Improving gastroenteritis
  • Normalizing bowel function
  • Improving colitis
  • Reducing irritable bowel problems
  • Aiding calcium absorption
  • Boosting your immune system

Optiflora® Prebiotic Complex provides a welcome environment for the friendly, beneficial bacteria that live and work in the colon. This pleasant-tasting powder provides nutrients—including FOS and inulin—that selectively feed friendly bacteria, encouraging their growth and multiplication.  More healthy bacteria in the intestines support a healthy digestive and immune system.  Optiflora Prebiotic Complex® is certified Kosher and Gluten Free.

Digestive Enzyme Support

Digestive upsets can be uncomfortable and embarrassing and leaves you with limited food choices.  But digestive enzymes can help.  All living things need enzymes in order to maintain a healthy life.  They aid in our digestive process and protect us from disease.  What are digestive enzymes?  When we eat food, digestion begins in our mouth.  Digestive enzymes are found in saliva and in our stomach to break down the foods particles into ever increasingly smaller particles.  If the enzymes didn't break down the food, our bodies would not be able to absorb the nutrients in the foods we've eaten and we would become malnourished.  As our food moves through our digestive system, digestive enzymes are throughout the process working hard to ensure that our bodies get as many nutrients from our foods that we can.

Because we consume so much refined and processed foods, not to mention cooked foods, we do not ingest as many enzymes in our foods as we once did.  This causes some of our internal organs to work hard at replacing those enzymes when they could be using some of that energy for other functions.  If your diet does not consist of the FDA recommended amounts of raw fruits, vegetables and grains then you may notice digestive upset, and those around you might notice your digestive upset too. 

Digestive enzymes aid in alleviating discomfort from gas and bloating, the digestion of fat, protein and carbohydrates, and helps with "problem foods" like dairy products and gas-producing vegetables like beans and broccoli.

EZ-Gest contains enzymes similar to those found in products like Lactaid® and Beano® but unlike single-function digestive aids, it has multiple enzymes to offer comprehensive support.  EZ-Gest is certified both Kosher and Gluten-Free.

Fiber

Dietary fiber brings many health benefits.  You may be thinking, "Yes, but I don't need fiber.  I'm fine, thank you."  And while that may be true, take a look at all that dietary fiber does for us - a lot more than just helping with regularity!
  • Digestive tract health
  • Preventing Heart Disease
  • Positively affect blood cholesterol levels
  • Preventing Diabetes by controlling blood sugar levels
  • Aids in weight loss
  • Helps to prevent some forms of cancer
Dietary fiber is found in fruits, vegetables and grains.  It is the part of the plant that your body can't digest or absorb, which may make it seem like fiber doesn't do a whole lot for us but it really does.  Fiber has two categories:  Soluble Fiber and Insoluble Fiber.  Our bodies need each of these types of fiber in our daily diet.  Refined and processed foods do not contain the fiber necessary for good health and the typical American diet consumes only half of what the FDA recommends.  Chances are good that you, too, are not getting the fiber you need for good health.

Fiber Plan Tablets can help you get all the fiber you need in your diet.  A food based supplement made from soybeans, lemons, grapefruit and beets to provide you with insoluble fiber, Fiber Plan Tablets are certified Kosher Dairy and Gluten Free.

This natural, unflavored blend stirs easily into juices, milk or other liquids and stays blended.  It is an excellent source of Vitamin C as well.  One serving of this food based supplement contains 4 grams of soluble fiber, Fiber Plan Blend is certified Kosher and Gluten Free.

Garlic Complex


Oh, the wonders of garlic!!  For millennia people of many cultures have sung the praises of this wonder herb.  It has been credited with curing everything from the common cold and the flu to protecting people from the Plague.  Modern science has revealed that garlic is a wonderful natural broad-spectrum antibiotic and an anti-fungal whose only negative side effect is garlic-breath and a possibly upset stomach if one ingests too much.

Studies have also shown that garlic promotes cardiovascular health by helping to maintain normal blood pressure and cholesterol levels when included with a diet low in fat and cholesterol.  Garlic has also been used to treat parasites, respiratory problems, poor digestion, and low energy and Garlic has been shown to reduce blood sugar, support the immune system and support beneficial microorganisms.

NutriFeron: Immune Support

Your body's built-in defenses work hard to keep you healthy.  Daily bombardment from environmental irritants and airborne pollutants can unbalance your immune system.  Our immune systems are complex and multi-faceted systems designed to protect us from invading bacteria, viruses and allergens.  When our immune system is out of balance we are much more susceptible to illness.  Part of the job of the immune system is to recognize and destroy potentially dangerous invaders and pre-cancerous cells.  The way our bodies do this is with the production of interferon.  Interferon triggers neighboring cells resistance mechanism and activates other immune cells that kill invaders.  Interferon is a critical component of our immune system.

World-renowned immunologist Dr. Yasuhiko Kojima first discovered interferon in 1954, while he was conducting research at Tokyo University. After 40 years of painstaking research, testing hundreds of natural compounds, he developed a unique blend of four powerful plant extracts that boosts the body’s natural production of interferon. Those 4 powerful plant extracts are:  Pumpkin seed extract, Safflower extract, Asian plantain seed extract and Japanese honeysuckle flower extract.

Scientists and medical communities have identified interferon as critical to healthy immune function. NutriFeron is the only dietary supplement in the U.S. created by the discoverer of interferon that naturally increases the production of interferon in the body.  In a recent laboratory study, NutriFeron has been shown to positively impact natural killer (NK) cells.

This potent-yet-safe phytonutrient blend provides immune support right at the cellular level. Studies have shown the extraordinary health and immune protection benefits of NutriFeron’s proprietary blend of four plant extracts.

NutriFeron is an exclusive patented formula available only through Shaklee. A powerfully effective supplement, it has exceeded a stringent set of scientific tests for safety, purity, potency, and performance.  NutriFeron is both Kosher and Gluten Free.

Defend & Resist Complex

It seems that each season has it's challenges with the immune system.  The colder months tend to find viruses and other illness spreading like wildfire while the warmer months tend to bring allergies and other seasonal maladaies.


There are many significantly important functions of zinc in the body, including proper protein synthesis, promotion of a healthy immune system, healing of wounds, bone formation and required for the body to utilize vitamin E and vitamin A.  Zinc is an essential mineral for our good health.  Zinc has been shown to be effective in relieving the symptoms of the common cold as well as reducing it's duration.


Echinacea Extract (Echinacea purpurea) is used extensively to boost the immune system, to treat colds and the flu, help fight infections and to help speed wound healing.  Research has shown that Echinacea has wonderful immune system stimulating properties that are directly involved in the destruction of bacteria, viruses and other infectious agents as well as cancer cells.  Echinacea has been found to be beneficial for a wide range of conditions including cancer, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and yeast infections, colds, cough, influenza, strep throat, and ear infections.




For centuries the Lakota Sioux Indians used Echinacea and would combine it with extracts of the Larch Tree.  The Larch Tree is in the Pine family and possesses an inner bark that contains astringent and gently stimulating qualities.  Traditionally it has been used to treat metabolic dysfunction, inflammation, diarrhea, rheumatism, bronchitis and asthma.  Both Echinacea purpurea and Larch Tree Extract activate an important class of white blood cells known as natural killer (NK) cells which is a vital part of our immune system.  Also recognized for it's support of healthy bacteria in the digestive tract, Larch Tree extract is now being used in the treatment of cancer.




Elderberry is one of the most effective herbs for preventing and treating upper respiratory infections and fever.  In England it was known as "nature's medicine chest" and other primitive people groups recognized the many benefits of the cooked berries as well.  Elderberry stimulates the immune system and has shown promising activity in clinical trials against viruses such as herpes simplex and HIV.  Benefits of elderberry have been found to include health conditions such as asthma, bronchitis, influenza, sinusitis, nasal congestion, fever and sore throat.  A clinical trial of elderberry found that it cured 0% of flu infections within 72 hours when used properly.

Defend & Resist Complex
Defend & Resist Complex features four clinically proven immune-supporting ingredients.  The immunoactive arabinogalactans in extracts of Echinacea, Black Elderberry and Larch Tree stimulate the body's natural resistance and Zinc is known to support healthy immune functions.  When you feel that first 'tickle' of an illness, have Defend & Resist Complex ready to supercharge your immune system and help you beat back those seasonal bugs.

 Over three millennia ago in Egypt and India, Boswellia Serrata (Indian Frankincense) was recognized for it's anti-inflammatory effects and the benefits the herb brought to arthritis sufferers.  In recent years Boswellia has been clinically studied to test it's benefits on joint function in general and osteoarthritis of the knee specifically.

Boswellia has also been noted for it's anti-cancer properties, particularly with regards to leukemia.

What Is Resveratrol?

Red wine has been praised for quite some time now and credited with things like protecting us from heart disease, lowering the risk of a heart attack (even if you've already had one), raise the "good" cholesterol while lowering the "bad" cholesterol, preventing blood clotting and vessel damage resulting from fat deposits, and more.  In 1991 60 Minutes aired a program called The French Paradox which discussed the high fat French diet and the health of the French people.  The research that was being done more than 20 years ago to determine just why it is that the French people could have such high fat diets and such low rates of heart disease revealed that there is something amazing about red wine.

Red wine has a paradox of it's own.  While there is something special about red wine that cannot be said for simple grape juice or white wine, the alcohol part of the red wine increases your risk for cancer, liver damage and other unwanted health issues.  Scientists set out to find out what the special component is in the red wine that isn't found in other wines or juices, and how we might be able to utilize it's benefits while not suffering the consequences from alcohol consumption.  Scientists have determined that it is the compound called resveratrol that is the sought after ingredient in red wine.

In the past 20+ years resveratrol has been credited with:
  • reducing certain ulcer causing bacteria
  • protecting against and slowing the progression of dementia
  • strengthening the immune system
  • reducing the risk of stroke
  • preventing obesity by increasing metabolism
  • strengthening the bones and joints
  • preventing cancer and fighting those that do not respond to chemotherapy
  • removing heavy metals from the body
  • protect and repair DNA damage
  • positively impact genetic regulators
  • promote cellular energy
  • support brain health
Resveratrol has been heralded as "The Fountain Of Youth" for it's anti-aging benefits, too.  As you can see, resveratrol is an amazing part of G-d's creation!  Resveratrol has been referenced in over 3,000 research pubications and has been been involved in multiple studies by Harvard University, the National Institute on Aging, the National Cancer Institute and the National Institute of Environmental Health Science. 


Hearing about the wonders of resveratrol, Shaklee scientists set out to create a potent liquid extract of resveratrol called Vivix.  It took the #1 health and nutritional suppliment company in America several years to perfect their patented formula and the feedback from Vivix users has been tremendous!  Vivix has been clinically shown to fight aging at the cellular level and hearing how Vivix has helped others is not only encouraging, it's simply amazing!  With Shaklee's solid reputation of scientific research and quality testing you can be confident that Vivix is not only safe but very effective.

A 30 day supply of Vivix delivers the equivalent amount of resveratrol found in 3,000 glasses of red wine.  Vivix is certified gluten free and comes in a kosher certified formula too.  If you're interested in trying Vivix for yourself, consider joining Shaklee as a member and you will save 15% on all of your Shaklee purchases, and if you sign up to have Vivix sent to you regularly every month you will save an additional 10%.

Fantastic and Incredible Improvement In Young Child

FANTASTIC AND HOPEFUL STORY!!!

Carmen Wainwright, RN shares this story:
Jessie is a 9 year old with a learning disability. She has trouble focusing and reading. Many test have proven she is not Autistic, Mentally Retarded or Aspergers Syndrome. She is just a little slow. When she draws a stick person she may have the arms coming out of the head or legs from the torso in the wrong place. That is just the way she sees it in her little mind. Then Mighty Smart and Incredivites came along.
Her mom ordered on the first day it was available. Jessie was pumped up on her shipment of special vitamins just for her. She was so excited. Then they arrived on May 13th. She loved the way they tasted. It was her package. She started on them that day.
May 25th she was watching a cartoon educational show on the platypus. They demonstrated how to draw the animal. After the show she told her mom she was going to draw a platypus. She drew it perfectly!!! Her mom was so happy she said this one was for the refrigerator. She never had been able to draw like this before!
On May 26th Jessie was doing her reading. This is difficult for her. She was sounding out her words for her mom. Her focus seemed to be much better than usual. Then she came to the word look which she did not sound out. Mom noticed she had not and asked her why she had not sounded it out. She replied "that was one of my spelling words from yesterday". Jessie has not been capable of having this memory before. Mom said she got tears in her eyes at this point. She states that Jessie is just a different child since the vitamins. 
Mom anticipates Jessie will have a very improved reading capability by the beginning school year in August.
This is just the beginning of the life of Jessie and all the other children in the world who desperately need Might Smart and Incredivites!!





Significant Diabetes, Neuropathy and Hypertension Improvement

Shirley's Story
I have known about Shaklee for years now, in fact, I used to be a Distributor way back when … just so I could buy the products at a discounted price!  They did the business quite differently back then, so, when my supplier (up-line) moved away, and then her up-line, I lost track of the product.  My favorite was Basic H and had horded it for years, being very selective where I used it, not to run out.  It goes a VERY long way, so that made it much easier.
The end of April, 2010, a friend approached me about Shaklee.  Needless-to-say, I was so excited and said, “I want to buy the largest bottle of Basic H”!  Then she went on to tell me about a relatively new product, Vivix … an anti-aging tonic that has had amazing results for so many.  After reading the Testimonials, felt I needed to try it to see if it would help any of my medical problems.
To explain:  I have diabetes and the neuropathy was getting increasingly worse, keeping we awake much of the night for months.  I had been to the Podiatrist (an excellent doctor … I always do the research to find the best doctor’s for me and my family), and she said, “I know exactly what you need for your problem”.  When reading the side effects of this med, I wasn’t sure I wanted to take it at all!  After about a week thinking about it, I phoned the pharmacist.  When she read the side effects she said, “I can certainly understand why you would be hesitant, however, the dosage is so small that it would probably be fine for you to try.”  I will say … it did work!  However, on the 6th day taking this medication, I was at a dinner with 14 ladies from my Sunday School.  Someone started talking about this particular medication.  Of the 14 ladies, 6 had been given this drug, and all 6 said they had terrible problems with their memory while taking this product!  One of the ladies said her doctor said ... “That drug should be taken off the market!”  That is NOT one of the side effects listed.  I immediately stopped taking this drug and advised my doctor what had transpired.  She had not heard of this! She said there were other drugs I could try, but I declined.
One of the many Testimonials people wrote in about who took Vivix had to do with neuropathy which prompted me to try it.  I received my order the first week in May, 2010 and immediately began taking my 1 teaspoon of Vivix the next morning.  Ironically, and quite hard for me to believe, that first night, I noticed my feet were calmer, plus, I slept through the night which hadn’t happened in months!  Within the first 4 days, my neuropathy was gone!  Wow!  What a blessing!
Probably 14 years ago, had a problem with my right hand and arm going to sleep.  It was extremely bothersome!  A friend told me to take B-12 which I have been doing all these years, and that did the trick. However, several months ago, it came back like gang-busters!   Because of Vivix, that, too, is gone!
I also have high blood pressure!  My blood pressure is doing great!  In fact, I was in the doctor’s office a week ago and he was so excited about my blood pressure!  He asked what I had been doing differently.  I told him, “Vivix”!  After explaining about Vivix, and what it has done for me, and, after he checked my blood-work, he REALLY got excited!  In addition to everything else, it had dropped my A1C from 7.2 to 6.2 in this short length of time which was really exciting!  I get blood-work done every 3 months, and unfortunately, I’m not very good at following the eating guidelines for diabetics, in fact, for some reason, I was on a really big candy, cookie, and bread binge for about a month prior to my last blood-work! 
I am 72 years “young”, and although I don’t want to live forever, I would love to have a good quality of life while on this earth.  By using Shaklee products, I do believe my chances of making this happen have sharpened.  You actually FEEL the difference on these products, and I have never felt any difference while taking other supplements, and I have taken vitamins for years.
I am a true believer in ALL the Shaklee products I have used, because they DO make a difference … and Vivix is probably my favorite because of what it has done for me.  It is truly an amazing product because it does different things for different people!  As Dr. Shaklee once said, “You give the body what it needs and it will heal itself!”  What an awesome visionary he was!!!
I have used the word “I” an awful lot in “My Story” which I don’t like to do, however, this is all about “me”, so it was hard to phrase otherwise.  One more thing … I am so excited to find a company who truly believes in doing everything possible to provide the best possible results from their products, and spends millions each year to make SURE everything meets their high standards of excellence, which has made them #1 in the industry.  In today’s time, that is almost unheard of! 
I urge anyone who is interested in maintaining good health … the natural way, and keeping our planet green, to get connected with Shaklee.  Not to mention … the “Opportunity Plan"!  If one is interested, it is absolutely awesome ... like none other! It is truly a company you will be proud to be a part of, and, to be able to share “your story” with others is a "feel good" experience.
                                                                                                Shirley M, GA.

122 Point Drop in Cholesterol!

I just had to tell you about my results with the Shaklee product, I am completely floored and so was my doctor. She had me go in last Monday to check my liver because I was on 10 mg of Lipitor. I knew that she wanted to increase my dose of Lipitor and suspected she would check my cholesterol while I was in there. So the week before I went in, I kicked up the Shaklee Fiber Plan to 3x a day and took the Cholesterol Reduction Complex religiously.
Well...I went back today and got my results. The doctor had told me that the only way she wasn't goin to increase my medication dosage was if it was reduced by more than 50 points but that a typical reslut would be a reduction between 30/50 on the Lipitor alone. Well...my overall cholesterol went from 280 to 158, and my bad cholesterol went from 193 to 88. I told her what else I was doing because she couldn't believe it! She said to stay on the Lipitor for 4 mor months and then go foo for two months and see how it looks only on the Shaklee, and if it is ok, I can get off the meds. My cholesterol has been over 200 for years, I can't remember it ever being this low!
