“The Landmark Nutritional Supplement Study”
An independent study conducted by the School of Public Health
University of California, Berkeley – Dr. Gladys Block
The basis for this study was the “National Health and Nutrition Examination Study” -
U.C. Berkeley. 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; 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
45% of typical Americans feel “good” about their health.
Here are the actual results of biomarkers from the Berkeley Study:
Shaklee Other Supplements No Supplements
Homocystein 6.3 9.5 9.9 Lower is better
C-reactive protein 2.2 3.6 5.1 Should be less than 3.0
HDL 58.3 53.6 51.9 Should be greater than 55
Triglycerides 116.5 152.2 173.8 Should be less than 150
Incidence of disease:
Shaklee Other Supplements No
Supplements
Coronary Heart Disease 5.0% 9.8% 7.9%
Heart Attack 2.5% 9.1% 7.4%
Congestive Heart Failure 1.4% 5.1% 5.2%
Type II Diabetes 2.9% 13.1% 11.6%
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!
