Vitamin C – The Infection Fighter


Do you know why you need to add Vitamin C to your diet?

Vitamin C boosts the immune system, this we all know, but it also has many other benefits:

  • Powerful antioxidant
  • Helps the body absorb iron & calcium
  • Maintains cell integrity
  • Protects against free radicals 
  • Natural antihistamine, helps allergies
  • Reduces risk of heart disease
  • Reduces risk of cataracts
  • Increases resistance to ligament and tendon injuries


How to know if you are deficient in Vitamin C:

  • Experience stress
  • Chronic infections
  • Frequent cold & flu
  • Allergies & asthma
  • Bruise easily & bleeding gums
  • Nosebleeds
  • Varicose & spider veins
  • Slow healing wounds & fractures
  • Shortness of breath
  • Swollen glands
  • Anemia


Your body is capable of many things, but it can’t make Vitamin C. So we must get it from our diets, but getting enough Vitamin C is nearly impossible from food alone. We must supplement, especially during the cold & flu season.

It is very important to choose the right Vitamin C. 

Synthetic Vitamin C is worthless as your body doesn’t know what to do with it. It doesn’t recognize the made up chemical compound since it isn’t the real thing. 

Some “natural” forms of Vitamin C can contain toxic chemicals and they often don’t contain the other compounds found in nature that go along with it. Therefore the benefits are limited.

Why we choose Shaklee’s Vitamin C is because it is natural, it’s naturally manufactured to retain all the nutrients found in nature, including the Vitamin C and contains no synthetic chemicals or additives.

Available in Sustained Release and Chewable formulas, we have two great varieties to meet your needs:

Sustained Release Vita-C 500mg

  • High-potency Vitamin C
  • Proprietary sustained-release system that delivers the Vitamin C equivalent of one-and-a-half oranges every hour for five hours
  • Helps maintain natural antioxidant defenses, cell integrity, and the health of eyes, teeth, gums, bones, muscles and blood vessels*


Chewable Vita-C 100mg

  • Ideal for children or adults who have difficulty swallowing tablets.
  • Great citrus flavor


Now that you realize how important Vitamin C is, be sure you have it in your arsenal to fight against the germs and viruses this season!

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

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
