Hi Robin:

I did get my Shaklee order yesterday and I was so excited. It through me for a loop, though, that there were so many vitamins to take. Now, for my couple of questions.......

1. Do most people take them in the morning?

2. I have a cold and I'm hoping they will help me recover quickly, anybody comment on that before??

3. When I took them this morning they kind of made me a little queezy, but I ate something quick and am fine now. Is that normal?

Thanks in advance for answering any of these, I sure have high hopes for these vitamins. :)

Hi Marcia! Sorry it took me so long to get back to ya!!! I had a meeting with a friend this morning and just got home.

**1. Do most people take them in the morning?**

This is what I personally do, after I eat breakfast, I take 1 Vita-Lea, 1 C, 1 B. At dinner I take the E, 1 B, and 1 Vita-Lea and my iron. So I am only taking 3 at breakfast and 4 a dinner time. Yes, it is an adjustment to taking so many. I wondered why they had to split them up like that, and their answer was so our body can break down the vitamin. The "ONE-A-Day" pills that have everything in them are so compacted that they don't even break down in our systems and we are not getting the benefits from the vitamin. Shaklee splits them up so they WILL breakdown and our body can absorb them. I would reccomend splitting them up. You don't have to, but I think your body will absorb the vitamins better if they don't all come at once.


***2. I have a cold and I'm hoping they will help me recover quickly, anybody comment on that before??***

The nutrients will definately help your body recover, but it really depends on how 'strong' the strain of cold (virus) is. What I notice is that I RARELY get sick anymore. My DH just had a cold, and I didn't get it, where in the past, it was a given that if he was sick, I was going to be sick too. So, it may not help with this cold, but it will help strengthen your body for the next round!

***3. When I took them this morning they kind of made me a little queezy, but I ate something quick and am fine now. Is that normal?

I have never experienced that, but I have never taken them on an empty stomach. I would say eat something first, then take them. And I also think you should split them up, so you are not taking the whole strip at one time.


I hope that answers your questions. I know you will feel different in a couple of days. Please keep us posted!!!

The other benefit that I noticed after being on these is after about 3 months, my periods got less intense. They used to last 7-8 days before, and I would have pretty bad cramps for the first 3 days or so, and now they last about 4 days with little to no cramping. I just got my period yesterday and was totally shocked. I usually knew when it was going to come (breast tenderness, moodiness, etc.) and now I have no signs that it is coming (which is wonderful!). I wasn't keeping track as to when my last one was, and had no idea that it was coming! Oh well, at least I had something with me. You will be VERY surprised as to the positive changes you will notice. Our bodies are remarkable things, and when given the right nutrients, things just seem to come into balance again!

Let me know if you have any more questions!!!
 
I forgot to add the other positive thing I noticed after a while. I used to have acne on my face, not terrible, but there was always one or two showing their ugly faces. Well, that too has cleared up. Yes, I still do get the occasional ugly pimple, but I get about 1-2 a month now, not 1-4 a week like I used to.

With my meeting with my friend this morning, she actually commented on that (we had not seen each other in 5 years). She said that my skin looked so great, and of course, I HAD to tell her about Shaklee (imagine that!)
 
Hi Marcia and Robin. Thanks for this post and answer. Robin - you've been so helpful in answering my questions! I placed my order this morning. Marcia - I'll follow those guidelines she gave you. I can't wait to get my order and see what a difference they make. I also started following Sarah's amazing eating plan and tracking on FitDay - know some others just began that too. I've worked out forever, and eaten clean most of the time, but this is a whole new spin on nutrition for me. I'm so excited. Can't wait to hear your thoughts on these viamins Marcia!

Hi Lorrie! I saw that you joined this morning! WHOO-HOOO!!! Shaklee ships out of Ohio, so you are going to get your products VERY quickly! I would guess you will have them on Monday, Tuesday at the latest!
 
Hi, Robin! I placed my order today, too, and I'm looking forward to starting up the Shaklee program again after a 13 year hiatus!

When I placed my first order, it was here in 30 hours!!! However, I am in Ohio.

I just placed another order last night...Had I done it earlier in the day yesterday, I am sure I would have received it via UPS. That's fine, I can wait until Monday.
