Who or what is Shaklee? Shaklee Corporation was founded in 1956 by Dr. Forrest C. Shaklee, Sr. Dr. Shaklee believed in two great powers: the power of nature and the power within oneself. He was ahead of his time in recognizing that the abundant American diet was somewhat lacking. 40 years ago Dr. Shaklee recommended that people eat less fat and more fruits, vegetables, grains and beans. He also studied herbs extensively and used herbal preparations in his chiropractic and naturopathic practices. Acting on his beliefs and his own personal research, Dr. Shaklee began to develop herbal and nutritional formulas that would work in harmony with nature. He expanded his research beyond the health of the human body to encompass the health of a person's total environment. In this way, from nutrition to housecleaning, to personal grooming, to the care of plants and the outdoors, a person's entire lifestyle and surrounding environment can work in harmony with nature. Over the years, Dr. Shaklee's ideas have grown into a Fortune 500 company. Shaklee has become an international health corporation, offering more than 200 products to people around the world. "Neither science nor nature stands still. Likewise, neither can we." These are Dr. Shaklee's own words. He never grew tired of researching, studying, and discovering the very best of science and nature. Carrying on Dr. Shaklee's tradition, The Forrest C. Shaklee Research Center in Hayward, California has been conducting research and developing high- quality products since it opened in 1971. At the research center, over 52,000 square feet of space are devoted exclusively to research and development. The staff includes experts in nutrition, public health, food science, analytical chemistry, biochemistry, herbology, microbiology and engineering. Shaklee has spent at least $100 million on research and development activities. Shaklee corporation remains committed to Dr. Shaklee's philosophy of living in harmony with nature. In 1990, Shaklee received "Family Circle" magazine's "Green Chip" award as one of the nation's ten most environmentally conscious companies. In keeping with Dr. Shaklee's high standards of quality, as many as 63,000 laboratory tests for quality are performed on Shaklee nutritional products and their ingredients in a single year. As many as 176 separate tests for puritiy, freshness, potency, and safety are performed on the raw ingredients for a single product. All product label claims have documented substantiation. It is important to note here that Shaklee conducts no animal testing. At Shaklee, the words of Dr. Forrest C. Shaklee, Sr. himself remain the heart, the motivation, and the direction of the company: "Only by seeking harmony with nature is it possible to find harmony within ourselves."
