Wellness Center Article: 3 Powerful Benefits of GLA for Women's Health



As we are about celebrate National Women's Health Week, it's important to discuss a specific health issue that affects over 90% of the female population.

Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) refers to a combination of symptoms that usually start about a week before your period, typically after ovulation and before menstruation.

What causes this particular condition is still unknown, but several factors may contribute to its development, including hormonal and chemical imbalance brought about by a woman's monthly cycle.

PMS can be accompanied by two types of symptoms.

Emotional / behavioral:
- Tension or anxiety
- Depression
- Mood swings and irritability
- Appetite changes and food cravings
- Insomnia

Physical:
- Joint or muscle pain
- Headache
- Fatigue
- Weight gain related to fluid retention
- Abdominal bloating

Some doctors might prescribe nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), diuretics, or antidepressants to manage these symptoms, but if you want to stick to natural solutions, a lot of women have had great results taking Shaklee's GLA (gamma-linolenic acid).
Shaklee's GLA Complex combines GLA, omega-6 fatty acid, sunflower seed oil, and vitamin E in a unique formulation that helps with:

- PMS
- Hot flashes
- Chronic eczema and psoriasis
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Diabetes
- High blood pressure
- And more

GLA Complex is also gluten free and does not have artificial flavors, sweeteners, colors, or preservatives added.

"I found in early pregnancy (first trimester) that I would have emotional swings and tearful moments. One or two Shaklee GLA capsules, (3) B-Complex, and (2) Shaklee Cal Mag Plus would calm and soothe my nerves."
~ M. Anderson-Delgado

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...
