Assalamualaikum wbt...

Since this is my very 1st entry in this blog, i would like to start with Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.

This blog is created purposely for Shaklee products actually.

I am one of the Shaklee distributor.been a member since a few months ago. at 1st i would like to try the product for myself. then after more than 6 months been using Shaklee products consistently, Alhamdulillah i experienced a great results for me and my little daughter, Qistina Hamraa.

I started to use Vita-Lea iron formula (multivitamin). im taking this to prepare myself for 2nd pregnancy. i've been taking this inconsistently (culas makan ubat hehe). my plan was to take this multivitamin for at least 1 year prior to pregnancy, but Allah the Almighty had gave us His gift earlier. Alhamdulillah in April 2012, my urine pregnancy tested to be positive for the 2nd time.

Since then, i started to take supplements for pregnant mother from Shaklee (Vita-lea, SR vitamin C, vit B complex and osteomatrix) and add on omega and ESP from my 2nd trimester onwards. initially as usual im the culas lady, took supplements as i wanted and as i remembered. then Allah tested me with the recurrent gastritic attack during this pregnancy. i am a doctor who always diagnosed my patients with acute gastritis but i never experience it and yet, i got a lot of this during the 2nd pregnancy. its not that i skipped my breakfast, it's just a pregnancy induced gastritis (as my A+E boss said to me).

After so many magnesium trisillicate mixture and tablet or intravenous ranitidine taken, the gastritis episodes keep on coming to me.at last i decided to be consistent in taking Shaklee supplements.who knows by taking those supplements consistently, the gastritis episodes can be controlled or at least be reduced in frequency.at that time, i was just tired of having patients looking at me with the intravenous line (branula/cannula) at my hand (aka jarum masukkan air di tangan dalam bahasa senang).

Alhamdulillah, after persistently taking those supplements, my gastritis episodes weaned down and im happy to tell you that i never had any gastritis yet after entering my 3rd trimester.

i am also a beta thalassemia carrier, which makes me a candidate for anemic mother in pregnancy. even during my 1st pregnancy, my Hb (hemoglobin) level dropped until 7.7g/dL..yet i did nothing because i knew it's due to thalassemia, not iron deficiency anemia as other pregnant ladies experienced. as a pregnant mother, as usual the klinik kesihatan or O&G specialist clinic or other private clinic would suggested us to take supplements (vitamin mengandung) as in pregnancy, our nutritional needs must be optimal for the mother and baby in-utero. in this situation, i refused hematinics (those 4 kinds of tablets usually given by government clinic/hospital), obimin and iberet, because they caused me severely constipated. to defecate during pregnancy (my previous pregnancy , at that time, i was taking those pills) was a nightmare for me.
actually i am expecting the same if im using Shaklee vita-lea (because actually ferrous fumerate will induce constipation and ferrous fumerate is also one of the content in vita-lea Shaklee), but Alhamdulillah so far im not yet constipated. during this current pregnancy, my lowest Hb was 8.6g/dL with the normal iron in my body (low Hb solely due to thalassemia, not iron deficiency anemia) and yet even with Hb 8.6g/dL i am asymptomatic and able to go to work and did all the houseworks as usual.

during my 1st pregnancy, i experienced a severe bilateral leg cramps.almost every night both my legs had cramps. even one day i took EL (emergency leave) as i could not sleep at all the whole night with the persistent cramping of legs until next following morning. in this current pregnancy, the similar problem happened.i ignored at first as i still can handled it with my own method of healing (quickly woke up from sleep and start massaging and walking and jumping until the cramps went away). as my pregnancy progressed, the cramps problem getting more serious and finally i decided to take regular Shaklee osteomatrix and quite stunned with the outcome.it works! Alhamdulillah =)

i started to get pregnant (this 2nd pregnancy) when my 1st child was 1 year and 3 months old. at that time, she's still breastfeeding (mixed with formula feeding). there are pro and cons to be pregnant while you're still breastfeeding your child. however i decided to continue breastfeeding, looking at me and the baby in-utero's doing well. sadly when my 1st child was 1 year 7 months old, there's no more breastmilk excreted.i've tries so many massaging and drinking lots of water to induce relactation but failed.and again Allah showed me the miracle after consuming Shaklee product, 2 weeks after that, i was able to breastfeed my daughter again Alhamdulillah..rezeki anak =)

my little princess Qistina Hamraa was a picky eater. one of my friend (also a shaklee distributor earlier than me, at that time i wasnt one of them yet) suggested me Meal shake french vanilla flavor to my child. she had tried to her daughter and received a good result. as a mother, yes i asked a lot before introducing mealshake to my daughter, but finally i've made a decision to try (still with some doubt). i bought 1 canister of mealshake from her and started mixing the mealshake together with the anmum formula milk (my baby's on mixed formula anmum and breastfeeding). guess what, her appetite worsened! she refused all the solid food, even drinking milk only twice a day (5oz each). i started to get more worried at that time and blamed on Shaklee mealshake. so i discontinued Shaklee mealshake and told my friend how disappointed i was towards the Shaklee products.my child's weight reducing and many close relatives including my mother had noticed it. then one day, it came across my mind that its been more than 6 months since the last time i gave my child zentel (ubat cacing). so the next day, i purchased one from the nearest pharmacy and gave to her. yet her appetite was slightly improved. then, i decided to restart Shaklee mealshake back. Alhamdulillah until now, her appetite's improving and i am definitely the happiest mother in the world seeing my child started to eat as other children.

these are my experiences i wanted to share after consuming Shaklee products. after so many positive results, then im braved enough to share and suggested the Shaklee products to all of you. after all, prevention is better than cure =) let's altogether practising a healthy lifestyle!
