At Shaklee, our dedication to quality is paramount, especially when it comes to products for your family. As our CEO, Roger Barnett, recently emphasized during a company call, despite exploding business and high demand, we face challenges in sourcing raw materials globally. However, this challenge will never compromise our standards.
Prioritizing Purity: No Compromise on Standards
A core concern for our sales leaders and customers revolves around the integrity of our products. When asked if Shaklee would ever compromise its standards to meet demand, Roger Barnett’s answer was unequivocal:
“We have a tradition for the last 64 years. If we do not find quality material, we will go out of stock. We’ve always done that, and we always will. We will never put into our product anything that is not 100% vetted to Shaklee standards. So, please rest assured that we would not sacrifice or compromise any of our quality standards—or any of our testing standards—to get you products.”
This steadfast commitment stems from the trust we’ve earned over six decades. Barnett articulates a simple, yet profound principle: “For every single product that Shaklee makes… the question is, would I give it to my children? What would our scientists give it to their children? And when we provide it for you—the answer is, of course, we will never make anything that we would not give to our children. And that’s what makes us different. And so, 100%—yes—we will always maintain our quality standards.”
The Shaklee Difference: Always Safe, Always Works, Always Green
The “Shaklee Difference” is built on three core pillars: Always Safe, Always Works, and Always Green. We believe nature holds the answers to a long, healthy, productive life, and we take extraordinary measures to guarantee the quality and effectiveness of every product we offer.
Always Safe
Safety is the cornerstone of Shaklee’s product development, with unsurpassed standards. We conduct up to 350 tests on every new ingredient to detect harmful contaminants. Annually, we perform over 100,000 quality tests to ensure the utmost purity and potency.
Always Works
Our commitment extends to delivering products that are effective. From sourcing the purest and most potent natural ingredients to extensive scientific and clinical validation, Shaklee products consistently deliver on their promise. This is supported by over 100 scientific papers, with more than 90 published in peer-reviewed journals. The groundbreaking 2007 Landmark Study, the only one of its kind, demonstrated that individuals who consistently used Shaklee supplements for 20 years exhibited markedly better health outcomes compared to those taking a single multivitamin or no supplements at all. Further testament comes from world-class explorers and Shaklee-powered athletes who have collectively won over 100 gold, silver, and bronze medals, along with the trust of over 20 million people worldwide who have experienced healthier, more productive lives with Shaklee.
Always Green
Shaklee has been a pioneer in the environmental movement for over 55 years. We led by example, from introducing one of the first biodegradable cleaners in 1960 to becoming the first company in the world to be Climate Neutral® certified, achieving a net-zero impact on the environment by fully offsetting our carbon emissions. Our commitment is to create truly sustainable products that are safe for you, your home, and our planet.
The Shaklee Difference: Why Our Vitamins Stand Apart
Not all vitamins are created equal, and the quality and science behind Shaklee products are unmatched. Even if you think you know what sets us apart, here are Ten Key Steps that ensure Shaklee supplements are industry-leading:
- Extensive Annual Testing: Shaklee conducts more than 100,000 tests annually to guarantee product safety and efficacy.
- 100% Lot Testing: Every single lot of Shaklee products undergoes 100% testing to verify that all ingredients listed on the label are present in the correct amounts.
- Stringent Ingredient Qualification: All ingredients are qualified under Shaklee’s incredibly stringent and industry-unique protocol, which tests for up to 350 chemical contaminants, including pesticides, herbicides, heavy metals, and solvent residues.
- Clinically Efficacious Levels: Our scientists formulate products to include key active ingredients at clinically efficacious levels, often significantly higher than many competitors.
- Science-Backed Formulations: Each product is formulated with nutritional ingredients that have been extensively studied for safety and efficacy. We avoid “fads,” instead incorporating strong scientific and/or epidemiological evidence of need and benefit.
- Advanced Bioavailability Delivery Systems: Shaklee employs and tests advanced delivery systems to enhance bioavailability, ensuring superior nutrient delivery.
- Rigorous Ingredient Scrutiny: All ingredients must align with the Shaklee philosophy and undergo detailed scrutiny for safety. We don’t merely accept a Certificate of Analysis from suppliers; we retest for contaminants to confirm accuracy.
- Unwavering Commitment to Purity: Shaklee has an unwavering commitment to avoid artificial flavors, sweeteners, and added preservatives. We exclusively use non-genetically modified soy protein.
- Pioneers of Manufacturing Standards: Shaklee developed many of the standards and protocols for manufacturing that are now widely recognized as Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs).
- Ongoing Proof of Performance: The effectiveness of our products is continuously demonstrated by:
- Over 100 scientific publications, with more than 90 in peer-reviewed journals.
- The Landmark Study, a unique 20-year study showing superior health outcomes for Shaklee supplement users.
- Shaklee products powering athletes to win 188 medals.
- Shaklee products fueling world explorers, featuring in 7 of Time-Life’s Greatest Adventures of All Time, and even providing NASA space shuttle astronauts with a special rehydration product (Astro-Ade).
Shaklee’s unwavering commitment to quality ensures that every product you receive meets the highest standards, offering peace of mind for you and your family
