At Shaklee, we have a 50 year history dedicated to the development and marketing of safe and effective products, but in fact, safety is our first consideration in development of all products.  As caretakers of scientific integrity and guardians of product safety, Shaklee scientists are charged with making product ingredient decisions using safety as a strategic and critical decision driver.

Fundamentally, Shaklee Scientists are the architects and advocates for Shaklee’s commitment to health and safety for each and every product and program marketed by Shaklee.  Our scientific team made up of Health Sciences, Research, and Product Development, with the help of our Scientific Advisory Board members, evaluates published scientific literature, evidence-based reports, and the known pharmacology of potential ingredients in order to evaluate the safety of dietary supplement product concepts.  Next, we identify optimal ingredient sources, dosage levels, and delivery forms to further ensure product safety and efficacy.  Finally we conduct usage trials and controlled scientific research studies to help establish product safety.  And of course, we conduct post market surveillance to monitor for potential adverse events and potential safety issues.

We’ve worked hard to earn consumers’ trust by conducting due diligence and emphasizing consumer safety first, avoiding potentially unsafe ingredients, and continuing to champion solid scientifically backed product choices rather than risky trends.  In the May 2004 issue of Consumer Reports magazine, "Dangerous Supplements," 12 ingredients in dietary supplements were targeted as unsafe by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.  And it should come as no surprise that Shaklee has never used any of these potentially unsafe ingredients in any of our dietary supplements at any time, in any market.

Shaklee nutritional product safety is a direct result of our commitment to scientific integrity, our mission of developing products designed and tested to meet real world needs, and our technology that enables us to predictably build safety directly into each and every product, time after time.  Shaklee products consistently measure up to the highest safety standards and we are proud to stand behind the very safest science-based products in the business.
