Always Works
With over $250 million spent in clinical testing, research, and development and over 100 published scientific papers with 90 published in peer-reviewed journals, Shaklee has become a respectable brand! Olympic gold medalists and athletes in the U.S. Ski and Snowboarding team are examples of the exceptional results of their nutritional products.

I’m sure you’re asking… What do you mean by nutritional products? Well, Shaklee has their own line of multivitamins. They also produce household products that are healthier for the Earth.

I met Mary Lindholm, a Shaklee distributor, in Austin, Texas, during August 2011. She gave me a little vial of "Basic H2." When I asked her about what this little thing of soap could do she told me to add one drop to a bottle of water for a window cleaner and to add the rest to another bottle of water for an all-purpose cleaner. Sure enough I tested it out. The window cleaner works just as well or perhaps even better than Windex and other window cleaners. 

Shaklee won one point with that. Pretty cool.
The all-purpose cleaner works like magic! Not to mention that since the vial was only 2ml, I drastically reduced the amount of chemicals going down the drain in my sink after sponging down the kitchen counters.

Always Green
The most spectacular part about this product is that its NATURAL! No chemicals added - just simple nature. Nature you spray to clean up and nature that ends up back in nature.

Shaklee has "recycled over 1,000,000 pounds of cardboard, eliminated over 10,200,000 pounds of packaging waste, and eliminated over 23,000,000 pounds of greenhouse gases." Talk about environmentally friendly not to mention naturally sustainable.

The BermudaQuest Review

BQ rates Shaklee with 5 Stars!
BQ recommends this product to anyone who wants to make a difference in the world. All it takes is a simple commitment to do one thing that is healthier for the environment.

That one commitment will make you want to make another. Everything you do for the planet gives you a healthier way a of life. So why not accept the challenge? I did, now I challenge YOU.

I worked for Shaklee for almost 15 years in Research and Development until I moved to Texas. They make fantastic nutritional products too.

@FB thank you for your feedback! i have not tried any of their nutritional products, what do you recommend?

Any of their vitamin products and the last product I was working on was Vivix. Supposed to add years to your life. Not too many Shaklee distributors here in the Austin area that I can see. I met one in Georgetown, TX at a Fair who was exhibiting.
