"I’d like to take a few moments of your time to provide some perspective on recent media attention to supplementation. It can be challenging to know what to trust, and we urge you to critically read articles about health and vitamins before assuming their validity - just as you would for any other reports from the Internet, a newspaper or the evening news.
Each year, hundreds of positive studies about nutrients and supplementation are published, the vast majority of which never make the news. Some examples of recently published clinical studies that have shown positive health outcomes include:
Learn how to live well no matter what your age!
-Wellness Challenges to women at every age
-Nutritional tips for each stage of life.
-Exercise & Health tips for maintaining an active lifestyle.

Ultraviolet (UV) rays are the primary cause of accelerated aging, contributing to the discoloration, sagging and wrinkling that results from UV-induced damage to the surface of the skin as well as to the underlying collagen and elastin that give our skin firmness and structure.
We are exposed to UV radiation anytime we’re outdoors, even in winter or on cloudy days. Indoors, computers and fluorescent and halogen lights also add to our cumulative UV exposure. The amount of UV radiation reaching the earth is increasing each year as the ozone layer is depleted. Research shows that as UV radiation increases, so does the incidence of skin cancer, particularly life-threatening melanoma. And the combination of UV rays and environmental pollutants dramatically increases the total load of free radical attacks our bodies must cope with.
Factors that Increase Risks of UV Exposure
Genetics. All types of skin cancer are much more common among individuals with lightly pigmented skin. Blondes and redheads are particularly vulnerable. And melanoma rates are 20 times higher in whites than in African Americans.
Time of Day. At noon, when the sun is overhead, UV radiation levels are 10 times greater than at either three hours before (9 A.M.) or three hours after (3 P.M.). An untanned person with fair skin can receive a mild sunburn in as little as 25 minutes at noon; at 3 P.M. the same person would have to stay in the sun for 2 hours to get the same level of exposure.
Geography. The sun’s rays get stronger as you get closer to the equator. Altitude is also a factor: exposure to UV radiation can increase by as much as 4% every 1,000 feet above sea level, putting mountain climbers, hikers, and skiers at higher risk.
Chronic Exposure. Most UV exposure occurs during everyday activities such as driving or walking to and from your car while running errands. Skin cancer occurs most often on the areas of the body most frequently exposed: the top of the head (particularly for those who are bald or have thinning hair), the nose, the tops of the ears, and the left arm and left side of the face among Americans who drive a lot (this risk factor shifts to the right side of the body in countries where you drive on the left side of the road). Some researchers theorize that the risk of getting age spots on the backs of your hands may correlate to the amount of time you spend driving with both hands on top of the steering wheel. Another important note: even someone sitting in the shade may still be exposed to one-quarter or more of the total UV radiation present. And up to 80% of the sun’s rays penetrate even dense cloud cover.
Apply UVA/UVB protection every day, indoors and out. Statistics prove that most UV exposure occurs when we’re not even thinking about it. Be sure to cover ALL areas of your body that will be exposed to the sun: remember the top of ears and forehead, bald spot, tops of feet when wearing sandals, and the back of neck and hands. The recommended daily precaution is SPF 15; use a higher SPF if you’ll be outdoors for two hours or longer.
Boost your skin’s natural defenses against environmental pollutants. Researchers agree that the same nutrients which protect your health also play a vital role in the vitality and appearance of your skin. Clinical studies show that Shaklee Vital Repair+™, the patented complex (U.S. Patent No. 6,036,946) integral to the Enfuselle skin care line, actually breaks each link in the chain of free radical damage on the surface of your skin.
Dermatologists know that an effective sunscreen must provide a high level of protection against ultraviolet radiation without irritating the skin. Enfuselle achieves that goal with two waterproof products to meet all your sun care needs. Quickly absorbed to lock in moisture without leaving a sticky finish. Ideal for sensitive skin.
• Patented SPF formula (U.S. Patent No. 6,015,548) with broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection shields skin from sun’s harmful rays to help prevent skin damage.
• Patented Vital Repair+™ (U.S. Patent No. 6,036,946) breaks each link in the chain of free radical damage to defend against accelerated aging.
By combining UVA and UVB sunscreen agents with the patented antioxidant protection of Vital Repair+™, Enfuselle SPF 15 for Body and SPF 30 for Body provide unique, patented, non-irritating and extremely effective sun protection while using the lowest levels of chemical sunscreens possible.

FAQ
What’s SPF?
SPF means sun protection factor. If you wear a sunscreen with an SPF of 15, you have 15 times the protection from the sun than you’d have if you weren’t wearing any sunscreen at all. In other words, if you would burn after 10 minutes in the sun with no protection, an SPF of 15 would allow you to stay in the sun for two and a half hours (10 minutes times SPF 15 = 150 minutes or two and a half hours) before burning. Keep in mind that you would still receive a burn! Sunscreens don’t give you license to stay forever in the sun. Also remember that sunscreens aren’t cumulative: if you combine a moisturizer with SPF 15 with a sunscreen product with SPF 15, your sun protection factor is still 15, not 30. Virtually all sunscreens protect against UVB radiation — in addition, some products screen out a small part of the UVA spectrum. Enfuselle’s patented sunscreen formula (U.S. Patent No. 6,015,548) provides broad-spectrum protection against both UVB and UV radiation.
Why No Avobenzone?
A “new kid on the block” sunscreen ingredient, Avobenzone currently does NOT meet Shaklee’s strict standards for product stability — in fact, Avobenzone has shown a disturbing tendency to decompose when exposed to UV light …particularly unfortunate for a sunscreen! In addition to using low levels of chemical sunscreens, Enfuselle’s patented formulas (U.S. Patent No. 6,015,548) provide broad-spectrum protection against UVA and UVB radiation without the need for Avobenzone. Additionally, the Enfuselle Time Repair A.M.™ SPF 15 incorporates ingredients that help screen out UVA wavelengths (zinc oxide and titanium dioxide). This means that these sunscreen products provide reliable, full protection against UV damage.
Bill Demong lives to compete. Make that—win. He garnered two World Championship medals and 11 World Cup podiums in 2009 alone. Call it warming up to his biggest accomplishment yet: becoming the first American ever to win gold in Nordic combined skiing event. The 29-year-old took the podium twice at the Vancouver Games—once for the individual 10 km race and once for the 4×5 km team relay.
“The feeling of going head to head for those last few vital minutes of a race is an insane rush,” he says. “You have to give it everything you’ve got. You have to want it. Want to hurt. Want to be the strongest.”
To achieve that, Bill, an outdoor enthusiast, spends hours on intense training. In the summer, he bikes for up to seven hours a day, relying heavily on Shaklee Performance® and other Shaklee products. “I use Shaklee products exclusively as part of my daily routine,” he says. “I like Shaklee Vitalizer™ because it’s in one easy packet. I also take Defend & Resist Complex to help keep my immune system up, especially during all the travel.*” He adds, “I trust Shaklee to help supplement my nutrition. It’s an integral part of how I not only maximize my training, but also how I recover.”

“..Guess how many chemicals have been restricted since TSCA was passed in 1976? Five. Yes, you read that right. Five…
..In a nutshell: Autism is America’s fastest growing developmental disability. An estimated 1.5 million children are currently affected by autism spectrum disorder in the United States. Autism rates have risen nearly 400% in 20 years, to the point that now one out of every 100 children—or one out of every 70 boys—is statistically destined for diagnosis..
.. the unregulated chemicals that infuse our children’s lives to the point that today babies are born pre-polluted with more than 200 chemicals in their blood, just from pre-natal exposure..
“We live, breathe and start our families in the presence of toxic chemical mixtures and constant low-level toxic exposures, in stark contrast to the way chemicals are tested for safety,” said Donna Ferullo, Director of Program Research at The Autism Society. “Lead, mercury, and other neurotoxic chemicals have a profound effect on the developing brain at levels that were once thought to be safe.”
Just to be clear: There is no clear data on why autism occurs. Most scientists agree that there are many factors—from genetic to environmental—which may increase risk for ASD. Hundreds of genes have been associated with autism, some of which are inherited and some of which are found in people with autism but not in their parents. Large numbers of environmental factors are being looked at as well. These include chemicals, infectious agents, and various health problems in the parents. Autism may result from a combination of risk factors.”
