Know Your Vitamins
Health Food Stores carry a variety of products but do not have them identified by quality. It's a 'Buyer Beware" situation. To make matters worse, most consumers think that there are four different categories or "grades" of vitamin supplements. The truth is that there is no true grading system of vitamins because the FDA does not regulate supplements. It's that simple. It's also the law. So, what then are you looking at when you see these Four Grades listed by other companies on the internet? Simply, they are categories put together by clever marketing executives who have no knowledge or regard for the law - Just Clever Conversations. |

This year alone the Shaklee Leadership is spending 300 Million dollars in research and development under the directives of nutrition industry expert Chief Science Officer Dr Bruce Daggy. Shaklee is also leading the nutritional field in Blue Ocean product initiatives, working to find optimal health paradigms with leading university's research centers and continuing the pioneering advances in nutritional science that Dr. Shaklee began over 100 years ago when he developed the first Vitalized Minerals. |
QUALITY: By law (DSHEA), manufacturers of nutritional supplements are responsible for ensuring that their dietary supplement products are safe before they are marketed. Recently the New York Times revealed that a secret testing of most vitamin supplements at Walmart, GNC and Target had little to none of the active ingredients claimed on the label - a direct violation of FDA policy.
