10 Reasons to Love Basic-H® Super Cleaning Concentrate

Nontoxic, high performance, economical, and great for the planet.


                                            1. Stop living in a toxic home
Some of the most questionable chemicals used regularly in household products are ammonia, chlorine, phenols, dichlorobenzene, and formaldehyde and can be found under your kitchen sink. Basic-H is nontoxic and safe for your family.

2. Eliminate your ammoniabased window cleaner
Basic-H cleans windows without streaking while being a great alternative to leading brands.

3. Everything and the kitchen sink
Basic-H cleans it all from kitchens and bathrooms to appliances, woodwork, mirrors, painted walls, and floors — it even does windows, so toss those single-purpose cleaners like sink and tile cleaners.

4. Removes the impossible
From lipstick on a linen napkin to crayons on a painted wall, full-strength Basic-H comes to the rescue.

5. On the cutting edge
A few drops on your knife sharpener keep knives extra sharp. Be sure to rinse knives thoroughly after sharpening.


6. Does odd jobs
Two tablespoons of Basic-H in a bucket of hot water lifts off old wallpaper. One tablespoon in a half gallon cleans sticky paintbrushes. Just soak for 24 hours and rinse in hot tap water.

7. Saves money

One 16 oz. bottle of Basic H2 diluted per label directions makes 214 bottles (28 oz.) of ready-to-use all-purpose cleaner.


8. Camping and travel companion
A sample-size bottle of Basic-H is all you need to keep clothes, dishes, and everything else clean. And you’ll help by keeping the great outdoors unpolluted.

9. Easy on the Planet
Biodegradable and environmentally friendly, Basic-H handles even hardto- clean jobs without phosphates, borates, nitrates, corrosive chemicals, or toxic fumes.

10. Less in the landfill
Basic-H is concentrated, so you’ll use fewer bottles of cleaning products throughout the year.

Benefits of Antioxidants




There aren't many things in this world that provide the health benefits of antioxidants!


Because they work in every cell in every part of your body, there doesn't seem to be a health issue that doesn't respond to them. Specific health benefits of antioxidants that people have reported include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • better resistance to colds and flu
  • softer, younger-looking skin
  • relief from allergies
  • weight loss

  • increased energy
  • relief from asthma
  • improved circulation

  • reduced high blood pressure
  • improved digestion
  • relief from arthritis
  • help in controlling diabetes

  • improved sleep
  • relief from menstrual symptoms
  • better memory, concentration


These are diseases that can all be prevented by increasing the antioxidant level of your diet. Antioxidants have been shown to significantly reduce the risk of all of the diseases listed below, and more than 60 others! If you eat a diet full of antioxidant-rich foods and use antioxidant supplements daily, you can avoid being one or more of these statistics.

Heart Disease. Statistics show that about 81 million Americans have been diagnosed with some form of cardiovascular disease. Every year, there are 650,000 deaths attributed to this disease, 27 percent of all deaths.

Cancer. There are over 1.3 million new cases of cancer every year, and over 500,000 deaths.


Immune System. Arthritis, gout, lupus or fibromyalgia afflict over 46 million adults, two-thirds of them under the age of 65. By the year 2030, the numbers for arthritis sufferers alone are projected to climb up to 67 million Americans over the age of 18, reflecting a 40 percent increase over current numbers.


Diabetes. Almost 24 million people in America — 7.8 percent of the population — have diabetes.


Alzheimer's. Over 5 million people in the United States currently have symptoms of Alzheimer's. This number is expected to increase by half a million every year as the baby-boomers become senior citizens.


Glaucoma. The leading cause of blindness in the United States, glaucoma affects 4 million Americans. Approximately 120,000 of these people have become blind from this disease.


Macular Degeneration. 10 percent of people between the ages of 66 and 74 have macular degeneration, 30 percent of the population from 75-85 years old.



Benefits of Antioxidants:
Prevention of Heart Disease


There are really only two things that you need to know about the causes of heart disease:

High cholesterol levels do not cause heart disease. Although high LDL-cholesterol levels have been (incorrectly) associated with an increased risk of heart attacks, there is actually NO correlation between the two — statistics bear this out. What you're being told in the media is nothing but a relentless marketing campaign by the pharmaceutical industry to sell cholesterol-lowering drugs.

The most effective plan for heart attack prevention is regular exercise and a unprocessed, nutrient-rich diet full of antioxidants. Antioxidants prevent the free radical attacks to your arteries that are the root cause of atherosclerosis and almost all cardiovascular diseases.

Benefits of Antioxidants
Include the Prevention and Treatment
of Cancer and Many Other Diseases



Studies have suggested that antioxidants are useful in a number of ways in regards to cancer. Many studies have shown that eating lots of fruits and vegetables can decrease the risk of many types of cancer.


Studies have also shown that cancer patients typically have lower levels of these phytonutrients in their blood. Other benefits of antioxidants for people with cancer include improving the effectiveness of chemotherapy, while decreasing the side effects.

Why I Joined Shaklee





 Hi, my name is Jackie and I am 18 years old. I know what you're thinking, why would someone so young care about being green and healthy? My answer to you would be, why doesn't everyone?

We have always been commited to living green, so when we were given an opportunity to join the Shaklee family, it fit right in with our lifestyle. Their commitment to leaving no carbon footprint and their wide variety of products dedicated to purity and quality are important to us as we think toward our future!
I saw the people around me (like my parents) recently start to think about their health and what supplements they should be taking to maintain it. But I thought to myself, Hey! Why not start thinking about my health while I'm still young? There are so many great supplements Shaklee has to offer that can benefit both me and my family. As soon as I heard about the Rx for a Healthier Life, I wanted everyone around me to start trying it! We take our health for granted these days and I want everyone to be the best they can possible be! 
Shaklee has provided something for me to be excited about again! I want to share the gift of Shaklee to everyone I possibly can. It has changed my life, and it will change yours too!
