Ordinary people... making extraordinary incomes...

What chance does the average person have to build a successful Shaklee business in this economy? In the midst of one of the most significant economic downturns of this century, Shaklee is still growing... an extraordinary feat considering that the Direct Sales/MLM industry is down nationally by 10%! In fact, right now there are over 5,000 successful Shaklee business owners in the U.S. Real people... making real money! Why not you?

Vivix and Nrf2...

Shaklee just released the results of a new independent Vivix study conducted with a team of scientists at the State University of New York at Buffalo. The goal of this rigorous study was to determine the effects of Vivix on Nrf2, described by Dr. Carsten Smidt as, “the mother of all anti-aging genetic regulators.” Nrf2 activates the body’s detoxification processes, mobilizes antioxidant defenses, triggers anti-stress activity, and strengthens immune balance.

Healthy adults were asked to consume a 910-calorie typical fast food breakfast loaded with saturated and trans fat, carbohydrates, and a little bit of protein. Then the scientific team measured the impact of the meal on Nrf2 activity. With the “food only” group, Nrf2 activity was totally flat to declining over five hours. But the same meal eaten with a serving of Vivix created a massive spike of Nrf2 activity within the first three hours, with a significantly elevated protective level maintained after five hours.
What does this mean? As we age, Nrf2 stops responding when we ingest a high-fat, fast food meal. As a result, such a meal can dramatically increase cellular aging.

The great news is... no matter what diet you eat, Vivix triggers Nrf2 anyway! The better your diet and lifestyle, the better Vivix will work to slow down the aging process!

More exciting vitamin D studies on the way...

According to Dr. Jamie McManus M.D., Chairman of Medical Affairs, Health Sciences and Education, Shaklee Corporation, “Our next study, which is already underway, is intended to confirm causality by showing that vitamin D supplementation improves cardiovascular risk factors.”

Kevin C. Maki, Ph.D., the study's principal investigator and the Chief Science Officer of Provident Clinical Research, Glen Ellyn, IL, says, “Results from population studies suggest that a low serum vitamin D concentration is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular mortality, but this is the first study to evaluate the relationship between vitamin D status and cardiovascular risk factors in a group that includes a large number of vitamin D supplement users.” He continues, “Additional research is warranted to assess whether increasing vitamin D intake will improve the metabolic cardiovascular risk factor profile.”

Why are Natural Killer (NK) cells so important?

NK cells target:
Tumor cells
Cancer cells
Infected cells

NK cells protect against a wide variety of infectious microbes such as:
Viruses
Bacteria
Parasites
Fungi

Shaklee NutriFeron is the ONLY dietary supplement in the U.S. that naturally increases the production of interferon in the body. Now we know it increases NK cell activity, too!

Making a Difference!

What would you do with $100,000?

Pay off bills? Travel? Quit your job? Buy a new car? Invest in your future? Retire? What would you do with $100,000?

But where would you get this kind of money? A promotion at work? The lottery? An unexpected inheritance? A sweepstakes prize? Forget it! [Sigh!] It’s just a dream...

If so, there are a lot of people having the same dream right now! They’re the people who just returned from Shaklee’s Global Conference in St. Louis, MO, where they learned about a remarkable new incentive program called... FastTRACK! Participating in FastTRACK means one thing... YOU (yes, YOU) can put up to $100,000 in your pocket in just 15 months! And the most remarkable thing about FastTRACK is... anyone can do it! YOU already have a head start... YOU already know about the amazing benefits of using Shaklee products!

You may think a Shaklee business is not for you... but in this economy, isn’t $100,000 worth at least a look at FastTRACK? There’s no pressure! There’s no risk! Just look... then decide.

Shaklee’s 50 million dollar product...
Just one year ago, Shaklee introduced Vivix™ Cellular Anti-Aging Tonic, the most potent anti-aging product on the market. Vivix quickly became Shaklee’s Number One product, selling over $50,000,000 in the first twelve months!

No wonder! Vivix actually repairs cellular DNA, and at a remarkable pace! And that means two very sought-after anti-aging results... better health and a longer life!

In just a few short months after its launch, Vivix captured the attention of people everywhere! What makes Vivix different? The Shaklee Difference, of course!

The genesis of Vivix coincided with a landmark research study published in the journal Nature in 2006. This laboratory study discovered the potential of resveratrol (a compound in red wine) to address two key mechanisms of cellular aging... improving mitochondrial biogenesis and activating genetic regulators of longevity pathways. Numerous studies confirm that resveratrol also repairs DNA damage, the third mechanism of cellular aging.

But Shaklee scientists went beyond resveratrol in the formulation of Vivix by creating a unique and patent-pending polyphenol blend that adds to the power of resveratrol. While resveratrol addresses 3 of the 4 key mechanisms of aging, it is not very effective in retarding the formation of AGE proteins which can compromise cellular integrity and longevity. So Shaklee scientists created a proprietary Rejuvetrol™ polyphenol blend that has been shown to be 10 times more powerful than resveratrol alone at addressing this 4th mechanism of cellular aging.

And Shaklee has over 25 key research studies to back up all claims for the ingredients in Vivix. The bottom line is... for better health and longer life...Vivix works!
The new look of Vivix...

Now you can enjoy the remarkable benefits of Vivix in a variety of ways:

Just look at the sophisticated new Vivix bottle! Each one contains 5.1 fl. oz. (30 servings) of Vivix... instead of the 1.7 fl. oz. in 3 separate bottles, as before. The elegant new Vivix bottle comes in a stylish matching container.

And now, Vivix comes in... Kosher! New Kosher Vivix conforms to all Jewish dietary laws and contains the same ingredients, potency and effectiveness as the original product.

You’ll find original Vivix in the white box while the red box contains Kosher Vivix.

You can also order Kosher Vivix in a 4-pack, and SAVE 10%!

Handy for traveling... or for samples, Vivix now comes in a Single Serve size.* 30 Individual Serving Packettes per box means you can carry Vivix with you wherever you go.

New Shaklee study... vitamin D’s impact on HDL
On May 1, 2009, at the National Lipid Association's Annual Scientific Sessions in Miami, FL, Shaklee presented ground-breaking research that pinpointed the important role of vitamin D in maintaining cardio-vascular health. The study shows that a lower blood vitamin D level is associated with metabolic syndrome and other risk factors for cardiovascular disease and demonstrates that an intake of vitamin D from dietary supplements is strongly linked with vitamin D levels in the blood. The greater the intake of vitamin D from dietary supplements, the higher the amount of vitamin D found in the blood. More importantly, as vitamin D intakes increased, HDL cholesterol (or “good cholesterol”) levels increased as well.

This study involved a new method for determining how much vitamin D is required in the form of supplementation to bring vitamin D levels into the optimal range. The study was so well received by the scientific community that it was published with no changes in the Journal of Lipidology, the most prominent scientific publication in that field. In fact, since the meeting, the study results have generated a huge amount of interest within the scientific community!

Based on this study, along with the latest nutrition research findings, Shaklee scientists have now enhanced both Vitalizer and Vita-Lea with higher levels of vitamin D3. These new vitamin D3 amounts are clinically supported and proven to significantly raise vitamin D levels in the blood.

For more D, take reformulated Vitalizer or Vita-Lea!
 
Natural Killer cells just love... NutriFeron!
Do you have aggressive Natural Killer (NK) cells? If you catch colds or the flu more often than you should, maybe your NK cells could use a jump-start.

According to an article in Immune Central, “Natural Killer (NK) cells are a type of lethal lymphocyte. Like cytotoxic T cells, they contain granules filled with potent chemicals. They are called ‘natural’ killers because they, unlike cytotoxic T cells, do not need to recognize a specific antigen before swinging into action. They target tumor cells and protect against a wide variety of infectious microbes.

Both cytotoxic T cells and NK cells kill on contact. The killer binds to its target, aims its weapons, and then delivers a lethal burst of chemicals that produces holes in the target cell's membrane. Fluids seep in and leak out, and the cell bursts.”

Recently Shaklee joined with Dr. Ann Moscona of Cornell, one of the nation's leading virologists, to conduct research using an entirely new technique for studying the activity of viruses. Phase II studied the impact of Nutriferon on viral activity. The stunning result was that Nutriferon was found to be a potent up regulator* of Natural Killer cells. What a finding in the time of H1N1 flu and continued concern about cancer!

*Up regulation is the process by which a cell increases the number of a cellular component, such as RNA or protein in response to external variable.
