My Shaklee Story

When I was first introduced to Shaklee, I was only interested in trying a sampling of the product lines.  I was getting ready to be married, moving back to my home town of Arlington Virginia, and also hoping to start a family of my own, so I wanted to be as healthy as possible. 

 Here is what happened.  I lost 12 pounds in a short time, and never again suffered from coughing, headaches, or having to deal with holding my breath while cleaning my home. I also have more energy, and I’m able to handle the multitasking of being a wife to an amazing husband, (Jon) a new mom to one special little boy (Stephen), and the caretaker of my home and sweet dog Charlie.  With all of these wonderful new changes in my life, I enjoyed the results of Shaklee so much that I decided it would be best to share it with others and start my own Shaklee business.   It’s like referring someone to a good restaurant or store, but you can have a business of your own by sharing and you get the opportunity to help others along their journey to better health.  The Shaklee name is well respected and the products, so effective, that the average customer is 14-17 years!  But the best part of my Shaklee journey is meeting wonderful people who are in a position for a positive change.  They see a problem and they want a solution but they don’t want to deal with side effects and they put their trust in Shaklee.  

 These days, we are overwhelmed with products that are labeled green and natural and it gets very confusing when it comes down to the stress of reading labels and not knowing what you are really buying.  So many people are now standing behind the integrity of the Shaklee name and the quality and safety of their products.   I’ll just name a few who you may recognize:  Dr. Oz, Oprah, Gweneth Paltrow, Rachel Ray, Jacqui McCoy from Extreme Makeover, Harley Pasternak, a celebrity trainer, and our US Astronaut, Mark Kelly.  Yes, Shaklee products were used in outer space!  In addition, a long list of Gold Medal Olympians depend on Shaklee to better their performance as well!  The more I researched this company for my own peace of mind, the more I believed it was the best for my own family’s well-being and a great company name to recommend.

And now I see Shaklee as a gift I can give to others because I know it is all for good.

IBS Relief after 18 years of pain!


Hi! My name is Ruth Randle. I am 63 years old, and until a year or so ago had suffered from Irritable Bowel Syndrome (diarrhea-based) since the age of 18 (undiagnosed). It always began with severe abdominal pain and bloating, which continued for several hours, ultimately ending with massive diarrhea -- after which I immediately felt better. It had gotten worse in recent years, to the point where the pain was so bad, the only thing I could do was try to sleep through it. I would sometimes have 2 or 3 attacks a week. A year or so ago, I had a colonoscopy and esophagoduodenoscopy (EGD) and was finally diagnosed with IBS -- the mystery of all those years of agony was solved at last!  

A friend from church suggested that I try Shaklee's Optiflora, the two-product "pre- and pro-biotic" combination. Within a couple of weeks, my attacks started getting less and less frequent, until they stopped entirely! I finished the 30 day supply, and bought another package "just to have" in case of a recurrence.

When I went back to the gastroenterologist for follow-up, I took the botttles with me and told him what had happened. He said that there was indeed research being done on the "intestinal flora" type of treatment like Shaklee's Optiflora, with some positive results, and he took down all the information from the labels to share with his colleagues.  

I have had perhaps 2 attacks in the past year or more, and they were of much shorter duration, and much less intense. (One episode was after I had been on antibiotics for a bad upper respiratory infection, probably killing off my normal intestinal bacteria.) I took the Optiflora for a week after each incident -- and I still have a 2 week supply in reserve, "just in case".  I'm sold on Shaklee!
