"I absolutely love this stuff. It helps with my depression better than any antidepressants did. I tried this with the approval of my doctor, so don't just play around with any meds. But this stuff absolutely works. In the winter I take 4 capsules a day. When I'm in the sun more, I only need two. This is awesome stuff." - Linny John

"I’ve been using Shaklee Scour off since I was a young girl. It’s been a staple in my house for many years. My mom owned and operated a housekeeping business and used only Shaklee to clean. When I ended up opening my own business, I knew I would only clean with Shaklee as well. Scour off is the only product that I trust to get my tub and my clients' tubs white. It’s worked miracles on some pretty scary looking tubs. New clients are always amazed and so impressed with the out...comes. I know it says not to use on windows, but I have great success getting hard water deposits off shower windows with this, lemon and vinegar. Some of my other favorite uses are to clean sinks, ovens and stovetops, grout, tile counter tops, etc." Kali Emens

"Physical and mental health are the most important aspects of being a high-performing athlete. Shaklee products give me the assurance that I am going to be at the top of my game. Leading into my event at the Games in 2018, I was diligently taking my Shaklee products and they kept my body feeling strong and ready to compete. It gave me an incredible ease of mind to know that I was taking the purest, highest-quality products available. And, while taking Shaklee products, I had... a personal best performance at the Games. The Shaklee team cares so much about their athletes. It truly is a Family. I am beyond grateful for the support that the Shaklee Family has provided me throughout my journey. I am proud to say that I am a part of the Shaklee Family! Thank you, Shaklee!" Barrett Martineau, Skeleton
