2. Highest Chorophyll Content
For the highest amount of chlorophyll content (cleansing properties) in the leaves, harvest MUST
occur at peak maturity.
Shaklee ONLY harvests at peak maturity.
3. Mature Plants ONLY
Many ‘GREEN’ health drinks are made from the green leaves of
young plants.
The concentration of nutrients is much less in the green
leaves of shallow-rooted, young green plants … compared to
the green leaves of deep-rooted, mature green plants.

4. Leaves ONLY (No Stalk & Stem)
Once the plants are harvested, and cured/dried, the LEAVES ONLY are separated from the less desirable stem and stalk of the plant.
Shaklee uses ONLY the NUTRIENT DENSE LEAVES which they mill into a green-coloured alfalfa flour, which is pressed into tablet form.
5. Cold Process
If the harvesting … drying … and tableting process is done carefully without high heat:
• the tablets will not only contain a nutrient smorgasbord,
• but also be very rich in essential plant enzymes, which are the organic catalysts that promote chemical balance in the body!
Shaklee GUARANTEES low temperature processes!
