Shaklee reviews and comparison with 100 other vitamin supplements

The MultivitaminGuide.org website offers reviews and comparison of all major vitamin supplements available on the market, including Shaklee.

Some of the unique aspects of this guide include comparison of the Shaklee vitamin supplements with 100 other multivitamin products, including popular brands such as Centrum, One-A-Day, GNC, Equate, Kirkland, Nutrilite/Amway, Nature Made, NOW Foods, Melaleuca, Puritan’s Pride, Herbalife, TwinLab, and Walgreens.

The information on this site is the culmination of over 6 years of scientific research and analysis. Each of the reviewed products is evaluated against 4 key parameters, such as composition, bioavailability and potency. Then each supplement is assigned a score from 0 to 10, which enables you to easily compare the effectiveness of different brands.

Counter to expectations, some of the most widely available vitamin supplement brands have received low scores. At the same time only eight relatively unknown multivitamin products have been found to meet or exceed the benchmark for high vitamin supplement quality, potency and bioavailability.

How effective are the Shaklee multivitamins?

The table below provides a summary of the Effectiveness Scores of some of the more popular vitamin supplement brands available on the market, including the Shaklee vitamins.

Any vitamin supplement with a score that exceeds 8.0 is considered to be "excellent". Unfortunately a quick glance at the table below reveals that the great majority of multivitamin products available on the market do not meet that threshold.

Using a multivitamin product with a score of 8.0 or above is strongly advised.
