Happy Earth Day! The way we treat our planet has a direct affect on our health. What is a new commitment you can make to take better care of our Earth?     Drive less?   Carpool!

A Letter From Dr. Jamie McManus on Shaklee Quality

Dear Friend, Welcome, and thank you for your interest in Shaklee.  I believe Shaklee products—and the quality and science behind them—are unmatched in the industry —and I would like to share why I believe this. I chose a career in medicine because I believe in health.
