Hello! Hope you have had a good summer. Hard to believe we are into the school year! My kids are all in school now and I am trying to adjust to this new chapter in my life after caring for a little one at home for the last 11 years. Since school has started, several people have asked what my kids take to stay healthy during the school year. As you may know, my family has been taking Shaklee supplements for years now. We can see and feel the difference! (Very few doctor visits in the last 7 years, faster recovery from the very few colds we get, strong immune systems and I can reach for natural solutions to deal with most of the health issues that come up!) I am so passionate about the products that Shaklee makes because they WORK and there is incredible science to prove it! I have to share it because people are out there buying vitamins off the shelf without any idea of where they are made or how. No more wasting money on sugar-laden, synthetic, store bought supplements manufactured how and who knows where! If you haven't considered looking into Shaklee, now is the time! Click Here I am re-posting my kid's daily routine below...

This morning, I was reading the paper, and this headling caught my eye, "Nutrition plays a key role in academic performance." Mary Alfaro, clinical manager of the division of nutrition therapy at Cincinatti Children's Hospital Medical Center states, "Studies have shown that children who eat healthy, balanced breakfasts and lunches are more alert throughout the school day and also earn higher marks than those who have an unhealthy diet."
We try hard to serve our kids healthy meals and snacks, but once they hop on that bus it's hard to know what they may or may not eat regardless of what I pack in their lunch. I am grateful for the Shaklee vitamins they take each morning to ensure they start the day off right and help keep their focus throughout the day.
My kids' daily routine includes:
2 Shaklee Incredivites
Shakleekids Incredivites is the first children's chewable multivitamin in the U.S. with lactoferrin, which helps kids' immune systems stay supercharged.* Packed with 23 essential nutrients, it's the world's best kids' supplement-with 600 IU of vitamin D to support strong bones and teeth, and 100% of the Daily Value of all eight B vitamins and vitamin C
2ChewableCalcium Magnesium (one in the morning and one at night)
Chewable Cal Mag Plus provides 1,000 mg of calcium to help build bones and optimize peak bone mass,
maintain bone density, and slow bone breakdown, reducing the risk of osteoporosis later in life.Now with NEW higher levels of Vitamin D, clinically supported for bone, heart and immune health.
2 Mighty Smarts Omegas
Shakleekids Mighty Smart is scientifically formulated with a power-packed blast of 100% natural, ultra-pure DHA. DHA is the most abundant omega 3 fatty acid in the brain and eyes and each great-tasting chew provides 100 mg. Great Brain Nutrients!
1 Vitamin D
The "sunshine vitamin"—offers a multitude of benefits including supporting healthy heart function, immune and bone health. But, up to 80% of Americans may have insufficient levels of this essential nutrient. Boost your level of vitamin D with Shaklee Vita-D3. The perfect choice for overall health and well-being, Vita-D3 provides 1,000 IU of high potency vitamin D3 to help your body thrive.
Twice a week or more if necessary:
I give them an Optiflora Probiotic
Normal, healthy colonies of lactobacilli and bifidobacteria can help maintain a healthy balance of intestinal microflora. Unlike other probiotics that may disintegrate prematurely and never reach the lower intestine, Optiflora’s state-of-the-art, triple encapsulated, seamless capsule is guaranteed to withstand the acidic environment of the stomach to deliver live beneficial bacteria to the intestine.
I try to help them get DAILY exercise and plenty of water and sleep. This is KEY to their overall health!
Why not start the school year off right with these gauranteed-to-work supplements created by Shaklee.You won't be disappointed. Hope you have a great end to your summer!
