Five Questions to Ask When Researching A Nutritional Company
Seriously Folks..... do your research! Don't take stuff (vitamins/slim/energy drinks/essential oils, etc.) just because they ‘seem’ to work. Your health is much more important in the long run! Find the scientific research on the products.... look up the clinical studies. You owe it to yourself.
Here is a study done with 12 different herbal companies, and the results they got when testing the product. Only 2 had the authentic product! Crazy!
This is why we are so picky with the supplements we use, but please, don't take our word for it.... here are 5 questions to ask your company and some of their phone numbers......
1. Are your final products organic and free of pesticides, herbicides and chemicals?
"Natural" and 'organic" simple will not cut it. They cannot just 'start out' organic. The "Organic" farm listed on the website does not tell you anything about the finished product. The pill or shake that you put in your mouth must be without pesticides, herbicides, metals, chemicals, GMO, antibiotics, growth hormones, etc. HOW DO THEY PROVE THE FINISHED PRODUCT IS FREE OF THESE CONTAMINANTS?
2. What are the ingredients in the product, and what country did they come from?
90% of supplement ingredients come from China where banned pesticides and chemicals are used. Remember, when it's "natural" and out of the ground, the chemicals and sprays come along with the ride and never leave.
3. Is each individual bottle (not random testing) proven to be free from pesticides, heavy metals and lead?
Where is the scientific information to back up that claim and who tests it?
It MUST be a 3rd party NOT associated with the company! It's like asking a 4th grader to check his own school work. No accountability.
4. Who is doing the clinical studies on their products?
It must be associations NOT receiving profits from the sale of the product. Ask for copies. Must be more than 1 or 2. What doctors are on their research board? MAKE SURE THAT THE DOCTORS DON'T OWN ANY PART OF THE COMPANY!
5. Have results from studies of this product been published in trusted medical journals?
EX: Clinical studies must be on the bottled juice, not clinical studies on the berries before juicing them. Ex of medical journals: JAMA, American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. Do not trust any journals that are made up or have no meaning in the scientific community.

I have called the companies. I have asked the questions. I have done the research. That is why, when it comes to my family's health, I have chosen to partner with Shaklee - the #1 Natural Nutrition Company in the USA - the only company that has the scientific proof to back their claims. Please, I beg of you, do the research!
"It is normal and right to recommend things that you like or enjoy, like a good movie or a good restaurant. You are calling your close friends, relatives and neighbors to recommend something that you feel is a good deal and they should know about. Whether they choose to take advantage of your recommendation is up to them, not up to you. All you can do is make the offer." -From MJ Durkin
