Incredivites is the first kids’ chewable multivitamin with Lactoferrin, a unique, biologically active milk protein found naturally in breast milk and believed to provide one of the immuno-protective effects associated with breast-feeding. It also fuels the growth of beneficial microflora, which in turn supports digestive health.

Incredivites also contain 23 essential nutrients; including 600 IU of Vitamin D for strong bones and teeth, 100% of the Daily Value for all 8 essential B-Vitamins and Vitamin C. Comes in all-natural Tropical Punch, Grape and Berry flavors and it’s so tooth friendly – it can actually help REDUCE the risk of tooth decay!

Mighty Smart: Bursting with yummy citrus flavor, Mighty Smart chewable bites pack a wallop of 100% natural, ultra-pure DHA, an omega-3 fatty acid, which is vital for early brain and visual development. Mighty Smart sharpen the mind, helping children remember and concentrate better. It also promotes retina development for healthier eyes.

Studies show that some kids are not getting enough of this important brain nutrient, which is prevalent in sardines, tuna, and organ meats such as liver. Not only do kids dislike the taste of such foods, there are health concerns according to the EPA, as some fish contain mercury, which can be detrimental to growing children.

3) Swine Flu and Shaklee’s Nutriferon
The recent Swine Flu outbreak really shows us that we live in a modern world where flu viruses can travel from anywhere to here in as little as a day. It’s a strong reminder on the importance of staying healthy and alert.
A strong and healthy immune system is your body’s most powerful frontline defense. Its intricate 
workings are designed to deal with substances that don’t belong in a healthy body. 
Shaklee’s Nutriferon is truly a breakthrough in immune science—a unique, multi-patented botanical blend created in collaboration with Dr. Yasuhiko Kojima, the discoverer of interferon. Nutriferon is the only dietary supplement shown to naturally increase the production of interferon, critically important for immune health.
Nutriferon is such an important part of living health today that Shaklee included it in its RX for a Healthier Life program. Quite simply, there is no better immune building or immune shielding product on the market today.

4) Building and Supporting Your Immune System.
Here are seven additional ways you can help build and support your immune system. They’re easy and you can get started today!

1. Find Ways to Relax
Because stress produces the well-known “fight or flight” response, scientists hypothesize that your immune system may become weakened after frequent activation of the autonomic nervous system in the case of chronic stresses. There are a number of techniques to help you relax, such as deep breathing or yoga, listening to soothing music, taking a hot bath.

Shaklee’s Stress Relief Complex is also an effective stress reducer and works in 30 minutes or less to provide you with quick relief from tension and stress. Used over time, it will actually enhance your body’s ability to adapt to continuing stress. Stress Relief Complex has no side effects and does not make you drowsy.

2. Sleep Matters.
Besides leaving you feeling sluggish, irritable, and forgetful, not getting enough sleep can reduce the effectiveness of your immune system by up to 50 percent. This is because sleep time is when the body and immune system do most of its repairs and rejuvenation.
Strive to get 7-8 hours of sleep each night. Remember, rest and relaxation go hand-in-hand.

For supplemental support, Shaklee’s Gentle Sleep contains a complementary blend of herbs - valerian, chamomile and passionflower that have been used safely for centuries to promote a calm and restful sleep.

3. Feed Your Immune System Well.
According to a number of studies, not getting enough nutrients in your diet can weaken your immune system. That is why nutritionists recommend a well-balanced diet that includes plenty of fruit, vegetables, low-fat dairy products and whole grains. Of special importance are foods that are rich in antioxidants (like vitamins C, E, beta carotene and lycopene), omega-3 fatty acids and folate. However many Americans have nutritionally deficient diets, which is why it is important to take supplements that have immunoactive properties.

Shaklee’s Vitalizer is Shaklee’s core nutrition program, providing 80 bio-optimized nutrients in a convenient tear off daily strip of six supplements. Guaranteed to having you feeling better with more energy and vitality within 30 days, Vitalizer also provides the nutrients your body needs to build a healthy immune system.

For maximum antioxidant protection, Shaklee’s CarotoMax and FlavoMax nutrition pack delivers a 30-day supply of whole-body antioxidant protection, protecting your cells and DNA from free radical attacks. For more information, or to order this dynamic antioxidant duo go to:



4. Drop Weight in a Healthy Way
If you are overweight, reducing weight is a healthy thing to do. But research finds that a rapid weight loss of more than 2 pounds a week can have negative immune effects. When it comes to successful weight loss and weight management, steady and slow is the way to go!

According to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), successful weight reduction is typically losing about 10 percent of your body weight in six months. Towards this end, experts recommend losing about ¾ to 2 pounds per week and not more than 3 pounds per week (weight reduction may be faster at the start of a program).

Shaklee’s Cinch Inch and Weight reduction program is scientifically designed to break the yo-yo dieting cycle forever. The Cinch program provides you with a safe, clinically-proven way to reduce excess weight and inches, and keep them off!

5. Wash Your Hands
One of the best ways to prevent the spread of microorganisms that cause infections is good hand-washing hygiene. Washing your hands several times per day and always before you eat greatly reduces your exposure to bacteria and viruses.

Shaklee’s Hand Wash Concentrate not only cleans your hands, it moisturizes, conditions and energizes them with natural botanicals.
It’s pH-balanced and hypoallergenic with a fresh, natural scent.

6. Disinfect Surfaces
Disinfecting surfaces is a smart way to protect against picking up left behind viruses. Shaklee’s Germ Off Disinfecting Wipes cleans, disinfects and deodorizes. It kills bacteria like Salmonella, E. coli and other odor causing bacteria found on hard, non-porous surfaces like countertops, sinks, toilet bowls, doorknobs and faucets. And, unlike other wipes, it’s bleach-free, alcohol-free and fragrance-free!

7. Don’t Get Too Much Sun
Unprotected sun exposure is linked with immune suppression. That is why cold sores often appear following time spent in the sun. To protect your immune system always wear a sunscreen of SPF 15 or higher.
