Here's my research Pro - Con Shaklee Products

A review of Shaklee Cleaning Products - Written by Matt Mayer
Monday, 04 December 2006-These are excerpts from his reviews...

One area that sorely lacks an environmental focus in my household is our cleaning products. For some reason we just had never given it much thought. I was recently given the opportunity to bring some products into the house for a product review and what follows are my thoughts on the products after about
6 weeks of use. The products we obtained are from the Shaklee group
of cleaning products. They can be found at www.Shaklee.com .

Normally I just throw in a big ol’ squirt. I did notice that as I washed the dishes the soapy suds " I really liked how they told me on the package how much to use. I’ve never seen a recommendation on other soaps to
use as little as possible"

My chief complaint is that the required usage amount, 1 oz, makes the bottle contents disappear pretty quickly. I’ve taken to using ! oz with no noticeable difference in cleanliness so the bottle will last longer. The bottle also didn’t come with a measuring cup. It wasn’t hard to find a shot glass in this old boy’s box of fraternity stuff in the basement to use to measure out the soap
though, so that’s a small complaint. (I can’t eyeball an oz as well as I use to be able to) Basically, I didn't notice a difference between this laundry soap and our normal laundry soap.

Get Clean® cleaning solution
We really enjoyed the Get Clean® cleaning solution for a few different reasons. We liked how the Get Clean® solution was a very multipurpose cleaner that could be used for a ton of different things just by varying the strength of the product. It would do windows, counters, floors, wood, showers, etc. The only difference was the dilution setup with the water we added. We
also liked how it was a concentrated product that allowed us to make our own bottles. No sense paying for the water that’s in a standard product or shipping that water all over the country in the bottle.

Our only complaint was that the cleaning solution was basically unscented. I need a little scent in the air for that "just clean" smell, for both myself, and any company that comes over. As far as complaints go though that was a pretty small complaint.

Final assessment
My final assessment of the products is that you should check them out. Shaklee's website has a ton of great general environmental information on it and you can order their products from the website or from a local distributer. I'm convinced the products work at their job just as well as non-ecofriendly cleaners so I don't see any reason not to give them a try and see how you like them in your home. There are fewer things that you can do to make a quick, immediate, easy difference in the environment than changing what
you use to clean your house and what you put down your drains. I should have thought about making a change like this a long time ago.

Constroversial Comments - Shaklee Products (Vivix- resveratrol supplement)

by February 26, 2009 11:32 AM PST
I feel the research shows the health benefits in a glass of wine out-weigh the downside risks. The current studies performed by researchers have shown great promise for resveratrol treating the diseases of aging. There are numerous articles that I have linked to at my website - http://resveratrol.webiage.com - that document the findings for the potential health benefits in treating heart disease, cancer, diabetes, osteoporosis, obesity, and other diseases.
Dr. Joseph Maroon, a neurosurgeon, has written a book entitled "The Longevity Factor, How Resveratrol and Red Wine Activate Genes for a Longer and Healthier Life" that offers a definitive look at recent scientific breakthroughs in the study of resveratrol and how research has shown its ability to stave off a wide variety of age-related diseases.
Concerning supplements containing a high quality and potency of resveratrol that is necessary to achieve the dosage levels utilized in the lab tests, there is a new product called Vivix. Shaklee Corporation, the number one natural nutrition company in the U.S. ( http://www.shaklee.com/index.shtml), has produced a liquid resveratrol supplement that is 10 times stronger than resveratrol alone due to its patented formulation of polyphenols.
Oprah Winfrey and Dr. Oz are both users and promoters of Shaklee products and Oprah has featured Roger Barnett, Chairman and CEO of Shaklee ( http://www.shaklee.com/company_lead_ceo.... on her show.
So for a highly researched resveratrol supplement of exceptional quality, please visit - http://www.shaklee.net/davidhynes/vivix - to discover more about Vivix.

by jamesinraro February 26, 2009 2:01 PM PST
Vivex is spamming this news article. Readers should know that Dr. Sinclair resigned from the Shaklee board and has stated that Shaklee misrepresented him position in the company, lied about their supplement and is making false claims. For example Dr. Oz does not use or endorse this multi level scam as they comment from Shaklee claims. Buyer beware. Shaklee's product also did not pass the consumer lab evaluation of resveratrol brands.

Shaklee has been around since 1956 and was one of the first companies to market using the multi-level marketing system.

Shaklee markets nutritional vitamins, home cleaning products, weight loss products and skin care products. The products Shaklee markets in my opinion are quality products. The company has been around a long time so they have made a good brand name for themselves too. They make every effort to be eco friendly.

Can you make money selling shaklee's products? Yes you can but the issue is that you better recruit a lot of family, friends and just people in general. They are a MLM company and to make good money in that system you have to have thousands of people in your down line.
I do not like their marketing system.

As to price, that has so many factors. You can do the same thing cheaper if you want to spend the time and have the knowledge. Their prices do not seem all that bad to me.
