Uncovering the Ideal Formula for Rehydration


When we work hard we dehydrate. Finding the best way to re-hydrate, especially if you are an athlete or an astronaut is extremely important.

If we are dehydrated, we can't perform at our best. Even if you are not an athlete, you still need to rehydrate efficiently to keep your energy level up and don't experience things like backaches, headaches, fuzzy thinking, fatigue, etc, which are all symptoms of dehydration.

NASA knew it was crucial to find the best rehydration drink for their astronauts during re-entry.

One study done,
 Vascular Uptake of Rehydration Fluids in Hypohydrated Men atRest and Exercise (Click link to read full study) addressed this problem.

Why was this study done?

Astronauts commonly experience dehydration during long flights. It is important to understand the role of rehydration formulas and their ability to prevent dehydration (maintenance of plasma volume). This study was designed to better understand the role of differing concentrations of rehydration formulas on dehydrated subjects.

What did the study find?

The rehydration formulas that contained similar sodium concentrations to blood plasma (isotonic concentrations) were the most successful at returning plasma volume to normal levels following dehydration.

Did you know that Shaklee for decades has worked with NASA and they developed a rehydration drink for astronauts to use during this re-entry?

You can also obtain this same rehydration drink. It is called Shaklee Performance. You can find it here along with other sports nutrition products that many Olympic athletes use: 
Shaklee Sports Nutrition™

The Secret of Basic H® in Your Garden

Summertime is when all of us want to enjoy the beauty and bounty of our gardens – but who wants to spend all their time taking care of them ? Basic-H® has been used for years by farmers and home gardeners alike to reduce the amount of watering time, improve the quality of the soil, and treat for pests. Even in those areas where Basic-H® Soil Conditioner is not available (Pennsylvania, for instance), you can still get great results by using Basic-H®, Basic-G ® and Liqui-Lea ®. The best information we’ve found on using Basic-H in the garden has come from MaryAnn and Mike Mizicko of Vienna, Ohio. Mike is a very successful truck farmer – and Basic-H is his secret! Be careful to note special circumstances, such as whether to spray on foliage, to apply only to the soil around plants, avoid spraying on blooming trees or plants, and other restrictions. Basic-H is a surfactant, not a fertilizer, so don’t use one concentration for all uses, or you will kill the plants you love. Soil P...

Testimony: ADD

I'm an adult with ADD but was never diagnosed. Scanning my old report cards, I see "doesn't concentrate, can't stay on task, has focusing problems". All I knew growing up was that I seemed to be on a different page than everyone else. I'm the mother of 2 girls. Niki is 21 and I'm soooo proud of her. She is in Military Intelligence with the Army and is fluent in Russian and Spanish. With the physical and mental challenges she faces, she grabs a handful of B Complex and knows she can get through anything. Then, there is Kristina, my 13 year old. Diagnosed at 4 with ADHD, I knew from birth she was different. The doctor put her on Ritalin but it didn't work. We tried something else but she was getting worse. I was in nursing school and studying everything on ADD but having no success. At 7, medication kept her from sleeping so we had to put her on more medicine to sleep. She would disappear in the middle of the night. Often we...
