This month, in celebration of Mother’s Day, we focus on Women’s Health. We highlight key Shaklee products for each stage of a woman’s life and share testimonials from women who experienced excellent results using Shaklee in tandem with common women’s health issues.
Our Cinch Success Story of the month features Jean, a woman who admits she never stuck to a diet her entire life until Cinch!
We close with information on Project MAHMA, a group of women who found that sharing Shaklee provided an excellent opportunity to stay at home with their children, make a positive difference in the world, and also contribute to the financial well being of their families.

1) Women’s Health for Every Stage of Life“The longer I live, the more respect I have for the role women play in our society. They bring heart to the boardrooms, creativity to the workplace, dedication to the community and bear the awesome responsibility to feed and nourish their families. Oh yes, and somehow through all that, find time for their spouses or significant others. And on rare occasions, if there is any time left over, a moment or two for themselves. The weight of the nation and indeed the world rests of their shoulders.” --Barb Lagoni, Nutritionist, and Shaklee Master Coordinator

Equally important to women’s health is Soy Protein.

Shaklee During Pregnancy (Pre-Natal Nutrition)Some people wonder why Shaklee doesn't offer a pre-natal vitamin. The answer is because Shaklee’s regular Vita-Lea multivitamin has everything and more than what’s found in most pre-natal vitamins. In fact, all the nutrients needed to meet the U.S. RDA for pregnant and lactating women are available in existing Shaklee supplements. With the approval of the obstetrician, Shaklee Vita-Lea, Iron Plus C, B-Complex, and OsteoMatrix can offer an excellent prenatal supplement program for pregnant women or women preparing for pregnancy.
In addition to providing pre-natal nutritional support, some Shaklee products can serve as remedies for some common "discomforts" that occur at different points of a normal pregnancy, as the testimonial below so clearly demonstrates.

I found in the first trimester that I would have emotional swings and tearful moments. One or two Shaklee GLA Complex capsules
along with three B-Complex
and two
Shaklee Chewable Cal Mag Plus
would calm and soothe my nerves.
I also used calcium (3 or 4 at a time) before bedtime to help me sleep better and prevent leg cramps. The only leg cramps I got (and they were VERY painfully intense) were on the evenings when I skimped on the Shaklee calcium.
At various times throughout the pregnancy, I had some minor nausea, queasiness, and even acid reflux, just like all the books and magazines will warn you.

as a tea (hot or cooled for a refreshing drink), and 5 or 6 Alfalfa Complex tablets.At one point, just for a few weeks, I could not sta
nd the smell or taste of my favorite Shaklee Energizing Soy Protein. I did not want to go without, so I opted for the delicious Shaklee Meal Shakes (which tasted great to me)
and I would add one scoop of the soy protein. I also used the Shaklee Instant Protein when I made hot cereal for breakfast.
I found that my skin got much drier and just using more lotion did not help. I then discovered that the Shaklee Enfuselle Calming Complex sealed in with Enfuselle Hand and Body Lotion would soothe and heal any dry patches or rashes. I also made sure to use the Shaklee Enfuselle Hand and Body Lotion- all over- after every bath or shower to prevent stretch marks with excellent results.
I also have had no swelling and only the minimal healthy weight gain.

I attribute that to drinking a lot of Shaklee Get CleanWater and taking Alfalfa (to minimize water retention) and using the other Shaklee supplements to give me and the baby the nutrients we both need to be healthy and happy!” Enthusiastically, M. Anderson-Delgado
Shaklee and the Menstrual CyclePMS and EndometriosisEndometriosis is made worse by estrogen dominance. Shaklee’s Soy Protein is beneficial for anyone with estrogen dominance, such as PMS or perimenopausal women with heavy clots and bleeding.
“I had horrible periods and was diagnosed with severe endometriosis. The pain was so bad I could barely go to work. Running, the thing I loved to do the most, was put on hold. I was told I may not be able to conceive and was determined to do something about it.
I increased my Shaklee supplements and began using the Shaklee Soy Protein 5-6 times a day instead of twice. I started taking Shaklee’s GLA Complex and increased by intake of B-Complex, OsteoMatrix, Zinc Complex and Iron+C Within the first month, I could feel a big difference. I had few cramps and noticed my mood swings were evening out. I had pain-free periods only six months after my diagnosis! The following month my daughter was conceived. After her birth, I nursed for 20 months and continued taking all my supplements and protein. I still drink Energizing Soy Protein 4-5 times a day and can tell if I slack off. My OB/GYN can't believe I have no more symptoms. Thanks be to GOD, no more pain!” – A. Seydel
Uterine Fibroids“At 40 I was diagnosed with uterine fibroids. I had 10-day periods with bleeding in between. My choices were to try birth control pills or a D&C…I was already taking vitamins from a local health food store that were more expensive but decided to try Shaklee. After a month or so of using Vita-Lea, OsteoMatrix, Soy Protein and Vita-E, I felt a big difference. The only time my symptoms ever returned was when I ran out of Shaklee’s Vita-E. I'm now 52, have no symptoms and the fibroids are gone!” –C. Hurst
From menstrual cycle issues, to stress and osteoporosis, Shaklee has created a Women’s Health Solution package that includes a 30-day supply of GLA Complex, OsteoMatrix and Stress Relief Complex to meet the specific needs of women today.
Perimenopause/MenopauseFor women who want to use natural alternatives to estrogen/hormone replacement therapy, the following Shaklee nutrition program has been reported to be helpful for a women’s reproductive system in general, and to delay and reduce menopausal symptoms in particular:
Menopause Balancing Complex, Energizing Soy Protein, GLA Plus Complex, OsteoMatrix and Gentle Sleep Complex (if needed).
Product Profile: Menopause Balance Complex Contains the well-researched herb, Black Cohosh (which has been successfully used in Germany for over 40 years) to regulate hormonal balance in women during the transitional period of menopause, along with phytoestrogens from soy and flaxseed. Similar in structure to human estrogen, soy isoflavones and flaxseed lignans can bind to estrogen receptors, thereby exerting an estrogen-like effect. Menopause Balancing Complex also provides phytoestrogens from Dong Quai, red clover, and licorice. These appear to reduce the symptoms of hot flashes, sleep disorders, mood swings, etc. They also may provide a protective effect against osteoporosis, heart disease, breast disease, cholesterol levels and other health issues often associated with menopause. To order Menopause Balance Complex ,Shaklee Menopause Balance Complex Cooling Lotion is a unique blend of over a dozen natural herbs that offer soothing relief and a cooling herbal aroma to help reduce the onset of a hot flash. Cools and soothes in seconds and is progesterone-free, so you can use it as often as needed without side effects. The following diet is also helpful to reduce the symptoms of menopause. A good diet along with a good Shaklee nutritional program can do wonders for you during this stage of life

Vita-Lea Gold also supplies the clinically proven nutrients to help protect vision and preserve bone integrity.

“With a professional background in Child Development, I have always understood the importance a healthy home-based environment in which children could flourish. My Shaklee career allowed me the privilege of raising our two children as well as creating the financial means that provided for all their needs, from infancy to college. Being my own boss, the governor of my own time, and the comptroller of my income inspires me even today. The idea of being an eco-mom, one who appreciates the concept of building as career based on sharing vital information about health and environmental products and its people-based opportunity is an idea to embrace.” --Jill O’Mara Lamoureux, Shaklee Master Coordinator
