Let’s take a look at specific factors of metabolic syndrome and what they do to your body. High blood pressure, elevated lipids, especially high LDL (bad cholesterol that you want to be a low number) and low HDL (good cholesterol that you want to be a high number), insulin resistance, elevated triglycerides and hypertension are all health concerns that can cause metabolic syndrome.
If you have three or more of the above factors you have metabolic syndrome.
Your arteries become stiffer (less flexible) over time with high blood pressure and this continues to put your blood flow under more pressure.
Testimonies* started to circulate soon after Vivix, the world’s only cellular anti-aging tonic, was introduced on 8-8-08. You have to understand, the very first users of this natural resveratrol supplement were primarily loyal brand users. They know the science, research, and clinical testing behind each and every product. They know of the safety of this brand that conducts thousands of quality tests on individual ingredients. They know of the quality of the ingredients and how that quality is responsible for maintaining products that really do perform. And they know that the company does not introduce a product unless it has been proven in their own scientific studies to work.
And so the testimonies* continue to come.. have a look at just four (more to come).. and be prepared to say, “Wow!”:

Diabetes Testimonial – No More Leg Cramps and I Can Feel My Toes Again!
“.. I am diabetic with all the problems that go along. One of my greatest fears is losing my legs as my grandfather lost his from diabetes. I suffered severe neuropathy in both my legs and feet. In addition to that, I had 3 stints put in my left leg last summer and was diagnosed with PAD. I was experiencing severe leg cramps nightly. Hardly a night went by when I wasn’t awakened by them and had to jump out of bed and walk around. This would happen several times a night. Since taking Vivix, I have not been awakened a single evening with a leg cramp. So wonderful! And I can feel my toes again. They no longer feel like wooden appendages down there. Bless Shaklee and Vivix! I now experience full nights of restful sleep.”

Arthritis Pain – Now Pain Free!
“… I am now 72 and have been experiencing an elevated amount of joint, muscle and back pain. It has grown over the past several years to aggravating proportions affecting sleep and most movement. I was using up to 16 pain relief tablets a day to control this growing pain. It worked to quench the pain but the pain itself showed no signs of letting up. Then, in early August, Shaklee Corporation introduced Vivix, a fabulous new longevity tonic with resveratrol and super grape extracts.” ~Martha
Five weeks later and Martha, quoted above, is pain free! She takes no other pain relief tablets. She uses the prescription for health plan products recommended by the brand’s director of medical affairs (Vivix, Vitalizer, Cinch & Nutriferon) on a daily basis and is enjoying being able to move again without pain anywhere.
Cancer Story
Let me relate a story I heard today about a woman who had cancer 10 years ago and refused chemo, deciding to go the natural route using Shaklee and other alternative approaches. She has done extremely well for many years. When Vivix came out, her friend told her about it.. she sent the information to her doctors and normally they would send her an email response. But not this time! They called her and told her to, “not walk, but RUN to get this product and start taking it immediately!” ~Lorri
Inherent Essential Tremors – Fast Results
“I am 72 years old and have had essential tremors since my early 30′s. The shaking and tremors became so bad that I had to quit my job as a lab technician in 1989. When in high school I could type 60 words per minute. For the past 15 years, in order to type, I had to hold my right index finger with my left hand and type one key at a time. At times, the tremors were so pronounced that I had difficulty eating and drinking.
I have faithfully used Shaklee supplements since November of 1998 and added the Vitalizer when it was introduced. I also take CoQHeart twice daily along with B-Complex. There was very little improvement. I started taking Vivix on August 23rd. In a week and a half, I noticed the tremors/shaking had lessened. Now, at three weeks of Vivix, my tremors/shaking are minimal! I have to learn to use my hands again – I have to learn to type again with all my fingers!!
I was hoping a change would occur in two to three months on Vivix, but never expected these results in three weeks.” ~Anne
Age Spots and Pain – and Other ‘Side Benefits’
“Although I’ve been on an excellent anti-inflammatory supplement and diet program for over ten years, I’ve still had some aches and pains that just haven’t gone away. I’ve been using Vivix for about two weeks now and have had tremendous relief of all of the achy pains that used to plague me! I’m especially relieved not to have pain around the arthritic bone spurs I have on the joints of my spine and hands. This is a blessing in and of itself.
However, the other day, I got a phone call from a friend of mine who started using Vivix when I did. She said her age spots were going away. ‘What!!! Hold the phone!’ I said. It looked like mine were lighter too!! Now, several days later, I can say for certain that some of my spots are gone and the rest are much, much lighter. I’ll bet they’ll all be gone within a week. I’m also noticing much more energy and I’ve been sleeping better (less pain). Better sleep, more energy, no pain and no spots!!! Hip Hip Hooray for Shaklee!” ~Dr. Sandy

In a perfect world, all people would maintain a healthy weight. This is not a perfect world and the reality is that overweight, obesity and diabetes are all on the rise.
Why?
For many, it is because they have more fat than muscle, and fat doesn’t burn calories nearly as efficiently as muscle.
What if there was a healthy weight loss program that builds muscle while losing fat and inches?
We are all in luck because there is such a program. It is centered around leucine that builds and repairs muscle tissue, but has other beneficial attributes. This is the program that builds good health while we lose fat and inches. It includes ingredients that help improve the body’s ability to burn fat, and improves our metabolic rate.
Let’s have a look at the components:
1- First there is a protein shake powered by leucine. Leucine helps us retain the muscle that burns calories much more efficiently than does fat. Now don’t be turned off by the word shake. This is not a protein shake like any other. First, it has leucine. We can’t say enough about leucine because most diets fail when dieters lose muscle every time they diet. To build fat in the body when trying to lose weight is not acceptable. Then there is the taste. Four flavors are all delicious and filling. The shake that actually holds you, satisfied, until the next meal is a winner!
The shakes are my absolute favorite part of this weight loss program. I am actually using it as a weight management program now since I have attained my desired weight. The shakes are so important to me because of the way they make me feel. Having a balanced blood sugar level to start the day is so beneficial in the form of energy, alertness, and an overall sense of well-being (feeling balanced). Plus I like the taste so much that I tend to crave it, and I can feel a difference if I don’t start my day with a protein shake.
2- Part of this program is a vitamin boost. The name describes the extra ingredient inside this high quality multi-vitamin. It has a glucose regulator inside that helps maintain balanced blood sugar levels. This helps energy levels while cutting calories.
3- There are meal bars and snack bars, also containing leucine. Meal bars can be substituted for a shake. It is recommended in the beginning to have 2 meals that are part of the program and then one other healthy meal. This can be accomplished by a shake and a meal bar or two shakes each day. Meal bars have 20 grams of protein, are available in 2 flavors, and the peanut butter chocolate chip is my favorite. The snack bars have 10 grams and come in three yummy flavors that can be used in between meals.
4- Another great addition is the tea that you can sip on throughout the day. There are two kinds: one is a green tea that contains egcg that helps boost metabolism. The other is a pomegranate flavored tea that is made up of three kinds of tea. There is red tea, white tea (like a baby green tea), and a special type of Japanese ceremonial green tea that contains ingredients that help improve our metabolism. I like both flavors and enjoy drinking it over ice.
5- Rounding out the program are some special tools. A pedometer is included so that you can wear it to help track the 10000 steps per day that is recommended as exercise to compliment the program.
A software program that you can personalize helps you plan healthy food choices and includes specific suggestions about what you should eat and helpful meal plans. There is also a website where you can interact with others for support and motivation.
This healthy weight loss program that builds good health is the result of years of scientific research and testing. We benefit from the long legacy of scientific excellence that this brand has enjoyed. But the bottom line is: does the program work? It is for many and it will for you!
