Congratulations Vancouver athletes!!

Shaklee salutes U.S. athletes for their incredible results in Vancouver! The U.S. Ski Team and U.S. Snowboarding just finished their most successful Vancouver Games in the history of the team - powered by Shaklee products!

How amazing were their results? If the team were a country, at 21 Medals, 6 of which were Gold, the U.S. Ski Team and U.S. Snowboarding would have earned enough medals to be rated 5th in the world in the entire event! Congratulations to each of our athletes! We are incredibly proud to be associated with this fine group of elite performers.

Are all Omega3 supplements contaminated?

I can't end the week, without commenting about Omega3 in the news. There was a lawsuit filed against a number of brands (not Shaklee) that raised some concerns, brands that used cod liver oil.

There are NO safety issues Shaklee's OmegaGuard. We use pharmaceutical grade fish oil, we use a molecular distillation process to remove contaminants like dioxins, mercury and PCB's.

Here's the rest of the scoop. Shaklee's fish oil comes from highly purified whole fish --not from the liver of cod or shark (which the brands in the lawsuit used) which tend to accumulate these harmful compounds. Shaklee helped create a monograph to establish the standard for quality and purity, including defining the ...limits for contaminants including dioxin, PCB's, lead, arsenic, mercury and cadmium. Yeah !!
