“The Landmark Supplement Study”
“The Landmark Supplement Study” Synopsis
These findings are from an independent study conducted by the Dr. Gladys Block, School of Public Health, University of California, Berkeley. The basis for this study was the National Health and Nutrition Examination Study.
It then incorporated, independently, the results from 1000 people that have been users of Shaklee supplements for more than 20 years. (The actual range was from 20-42 years of usage; from ages 43-86)
Summary:
People in the Shaklee group:
- The two major risk factors for cancer and heart disease –0.0.
- Had healthier blood levels of key nutrients
- No unsafe levels of any nutrient.
- Optimal levels of all biomarkers.
The typical American between 50-65 is on an average of 7.6 prescription drugs… while the typical American over 65 is on an average of 19 prescription drugs. The typical Shaklee person over 65 is on an average of .6 prescription drugs – Less than 1! 85% of Shaklee people feel “good” about their health while only 45% of typical Americans feel “good” about their health.

In other words, Shaklee users are in dramatically better health than the other two groups and those who use the typical supplements found in the marketplace would be better off doing nothing! Click here to read about "comprehensive vitamin" product; or click here to read the entire study.
