Shaklee Difference – Shaklee products are tested for purity, potency, safety, quality as well as its availability to the cells.  The recommendations below are for Shaklee supplements.   Other supplement companies may not invest money into the testing of their products and may contain harmful contaminants that would not be advisable for a growing fetus.  Please do your research before taking large quantities of supplements from other manufacturers.
