Shaklee Get Clean Starter Kit Review

We need to start thinking about cleaning our homes with different perspective. Sure, I can dust and wipe my counter tops with a specific cleaner – but what am I leaving behind or in the air for me and my family to breathe into our bodies? Removing the dirt, grime, and dust goes beyond wiping down surfaces. Think about the chemicals we are leaving behind or emitting into the air.  Shaklee products have been reviewed and endorsed for their safety by Healthy Child Healthy World!
Shaklee believes that health isn’t just about what you put in your body, it’s about everything around you. They bring you a full line of natural and nontoxic cleaning choices that are Safe for You, Your Home, and Your Planet® called Get Clean®.

I received the Get Clean Household Kit so I could naturally clean my house and get hooked on it.  Oh Boy did I!!  These products are fantastic.  My favorite part about this cleaning product is that it is a Basic Organic Concentrate that you mix with water – YES water – to create the cleaner.  It is all very specific in the directions and super easy.  This concentrate lasts a LONG time.  The dish soap lasts a long time. You only need a couple drops to do a whole sink full of dishes.
No doubt you are wondering if it actually get anything clean.  The answer is YES – it surely cleans – very well in fact.  I love that it wipes up dried on messes with ease.  I also have to mention the price and refills is very reasonable. It is definitely doable!
Shaklee Get Clean products offer cleaning choices that are:

• No harmful fumes or hazardous chemicals.
• Rivals or outperforms 20 national leading brands.
• You would spend $3400 for ready to use cleaners to get the same amount of clean found in the Get Clean Starter Kit!*
• Features Basic H2® Organic Super Cleaning Concentrate – just 1/4 tsp. makes 16oz. of all-purpose cleaner for only 3 cents.

And when you purchase the Get Clean Starter Kit you also make a positive impact on the planet:

• Keep 108 pounds of packaging waste from landfills.
• Eliminate 248 pounds of greenhouse gas.

Here is where things get a little scary. According to the Household Products Database, I use several cleaning products that contain some scary chemicals such as kerosene, phenols, cresol, lye, hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, sulfuric acid, petroleum distillates, ammonia, sodium hydroxide, butyl cellosolve, phosphoric acid, formaldehyde, chlorine bleach, morpholine, and phthalates!  These seriously can’t be good for you…I can’t even pronounce them.

All of these chemicals are scary enough for my own health, but I also have 2 children in my home. I certainly can not clean my home with these chemicals and feel good about it knowing that my son and daughter touch everything. Not to mention breathing the fumes in. I honestly never stopped to think about that and I am not sure why…so now that I think about it – it’s scary.  I am very grateful that a friend introduced me to Shaklee – I now feel safer cleaning my house and not worried about what my kids are touching or smelling.
There is so much more to Shaklee then cleaning products.  Be sure to look out for more reviews of Shaklee products this year.

Shaklee Energy Chews Review

I’m an exercising addict; I LOVE to run!  So not only is it helpful to get an extra boost in energy, it’s also healthier for my body’s recovery process.
One of Shaklee’s newest products that I’m no doubt IN LOVE WITH are the Shaklee Energy Chews.  I was super excited when I got my own package of this chewable gold in my mailbox.
After using them for a couple of weeks here’s what I think:
They Are Fast Acting!
After years of using energy drinks, supplements, and now chews I can say that these are by far and away the fastest working stuff I’ve ever tried!  We’re talkin’ like 15-20 minutes and you’re ready to sprint out the door!
The supplements I was using previously was the  NUTRILITE® Rhodiola 110 Supplement Helps Increase Mental and Physical Performance – 60 Count.  These were actually quite good supplements, but I normally had to wait about 45 minutes to an hour before they started working on my system.  This gets to be a pain when you want to exercise just after running an errand.  I had to keep those darn things in my purse in case I was out and about and needed to go for a run as soon as I got home.  Really annoying.
The Energy Is Just Right!
These bad boys work, let me tell ya!  I’ve had some excellent cardio sessions using the energy chews that have helped me to push through some difficult hills, long runs, or wind sprints without burning out too quickly.  I am VERY pleased with my results!
You Feel Great Even After Exercise.
One of the best things with the energy chews is that there is no crashing at the end of a workout.  Your energy just continues to flow and flow!
They’re Healthy.
I hate chemicals, so the fact that I can get tons of energy from healthy supplements is a win win situation for me!  Here’s what Shaklee says about their chews:

Each chew contains a scientific blend of caffeine from natural green tea extract, plus L-tyrosine, L-theanine, B vitamins and vitamin D. And there are no artificial flavors, sweeteners or added preservatives you’ll find in other energy products.

A Moment Of Truth.
Everyone knows that I’m much more interested in being honest and ethical than making extra money  and, lets get real here: this is a thrifty blog!  I would be short changing all me readers if I wasn’t being honest that I’m not fond of the cost of the energy chews.  Retail price is $21.15 (member price is $17.95) for just 20 chews, and it is recommended that you take 2 chews each time you exercise.  If you exercise once per day then you’d only be getting 10 servings.
Here’s what I did:
I became a Shaklee Distributor.  Get ALL of the benefits of the shaklee supplements without breaking the bank AND make some extra money as well!  All you’d have to do is join my shaklee team and start your own business.
This is one of the reasons I became a distributor (especially since I realized that I was making all those other wealthy distributors money, lol).  I get a wonderful tax write off for everything I buy and share from Shaklee, I get paid back from Shaklee at the end of the month from what I’ve personally bought, and I get to use their fantastically “green” products.  Essentially I get everything from Shaklee for free and I make money from the sales I generate.

Interested in becoming a distributor with me?  We have an excellent training program and network of people who are ready to help you. 

Shaklee Vitalizer Women and Stress Relief Complex review

I’ve been a fan of Shaklee products since I purchased their Get Clean® Starter Kit a few years ago after Oprah recommended it on her show. My friend, Jan is a Shaklee independent distributor (all links here go to her website), so I was happy to support her business by buying a product that is environmentally friendly and works well. I use their Basic H2® Organic Super Cleaning Concentrate on a daily basis to keep my kitchen and bathrooms clean. 

 

Recently, Shaklee sent me their Vitalizer™ Women and Stress Relief Complex* to try out and review. I’ve been taking them both for about two weeks now and like them so far. I haven’t had any miraculous results, not that I expected any as I’ve always been a regular supplement taker. However, I find taking both supplements very easy to do and full of ingredients I find important in a daily supplement package.

Quality, individualized ingredients

Shaklee is the only multi-nutrient supplement pack in the marketplace with S.M.A.R.T.™, a patent-pending delivery system designed to improve absorption of key nutrients, ensuring the right nutrients get to the right place at the right time.

• Vita-Lea® Advanced Multivitamin: Micro-coated for immediate release in stomach to enhance absorption of folic acid.
• Caroto-E-Omega: Enteric coating for release in the upper intestine to reduce fishy aftertaste.
• B+C Complex: Sustained release delivery to the small intestine; clinically shown to provide up to 198% greater absorption of B vitamins over 12 hours.
• Optiflora® Probiotic: Triple-layer encapsulation protects the live cultures against harmful stomach acid for release in lower intestine.

I’m a firm believer that you must take a daily probiotic, a gender based multivitamin, Omega-3s, B vitamins for energy, and a daily C vitamin – all of which Vitalizer Woman has. It also contains calcium, though I wish it 1000g not 500g. Vitalizer Woman also has good stuff like a triple berry blend, cranberry extract, lycopene and lutein. You can download and read the label here for the full ingredient list.
I liked the Stress Relief Complex, too, though I’m not sure I’ve seen immediate results as I’m especially stressed out these days due to our still impending move to the East Coast. Still, Shaklee claims that Stress Relief Complex helps relax the body and mind, and promotes alertness while enhancing the body's ability to adapt to everyday stress. Sounds good to me. The supplement contains L-theanine, ashwagandha, beta sitosterol, and L-tyrosine. You can download and read the label here.
Also, Vitalizer and Stress Relief Complex are gluten free and kosher.

Convenience

What that stood out for me besides quality, individualized ingredients and is that all Vitalizer supplements (there’s versions for men and seniors) come in convenient Vita-Strip packs. This is perfect for busy women and moms who are on the go. You can easily put your day’s pack in your purse or briefcase to take with you to a breakfast meeting.
I especially like them because they’re perfect for traveling. All you need to do is take the number of packets you need for your trip. There’s no need to make individual snack baggies of supplements to put in your carry on. Also, the Stress Relief Complex bottle is super small and easy to take with you on the go, too.

Cost

I’m sure at first Shaklee supplements seem very pricey, especially if you buy store brand supplements. Vitalizer sells for $93.25 retail and members pay $79.25 for a 30-day supply. However, if you’re buying several bottles of quality supplements to meet all your needs, it’s probably not that much of a difference.
I’m a Shaklee member and have found that getting a membership is worth it if you love Shaklee products and plan to buy them on a regular basis. Membership is $19.95, but currently you can get that waived when you buy Vitalizer. Also, as a member, you can save an additional 10% when you sign up for auto ship. Click here for details.
Shaklee products also have a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee. If for any reason a Shaklee Product is not satisfactory, return it to your Shaklee Independent Distributor or Shaklee Corporation for exchange or full refund.
