Shaklee has recently released a complete new 4-part system for mothers-to-be. This will be the ideal gift for any woman who wants to enhance her journey to motherhood, by planning her pregnancy before conception. [1]

You will start your journey by selecting the Prenatal Meology questionnaire for where you are on the path.

(a)   you want to prepare for pregnancy.
(b)   you are pregnant or
(c)   you are post-partum.

(A)   If you are planning your first (or next) pregnancy, you start by submitting your e-mail address, and Shaklee's website transports you to the Prenatal Program Pregnancy Prep page, where you will meet the supplements in the basic program.

There you will also find a link to a special Meology™ Prenatal - Pregnancy Prep Introductory page, that discusses the basic plan, plus several optional supplements, when you click on the Take me to Meology Prenatal button.

NOTE: This page can only be accessed from this assessment page, otherwise I would have added a link to it directly. It is a beautiful page, and is well worth your time to explore it.


(B)   If you are already pregnant, on the Meology™ Prenatal - Pregnancy page, just type in your due-date and your e-mail address, and meet the program, plus the optional solutions for leg cramps or occasional indigestion, occasional irregularity, or whether you may feel queasy.


(C)   If you have already delivered your baby, your choice will be the Meology™ Prenatal – Postnatal page, where you will identify whether the baby is receiving your milk (breastfeeding or via pump-to-bottle feeding) and then “get the results.” There are 4 optional solutions.

NOTE: Shaklee does NOT share your proprietary information with anyone (e-mail etc.) so fear not.

Once you have completed filling in your chosen program questionnaire, you can choose to adopt Wellness Bundle, after completing a questionnaire similar to the adult Meology program.

You start by identifying any ongoing health challenges you may have, your family history and doctor’s recommendations, prescriptions or supplements you may be taking and a few other short lists, and you get to the Results page, where you can choose the Essentials or the Essentials Plus plan.

We reviewed the Meology line last January (issue 38-1 Nutrition Made Personal) so let’s review the 5 possible Meology programs in depth.

There are distinct differences between Meology™ and the Meology™ Prenatal programs, so this will be well worth your time to read about them.

There is also a Product sheet [2] and a Product FAQ [3] for your convenience.


The Shaklee Difference

We already know the time Shaklee invests in designing pure and effective products that are well-absorbed, so let us review 2 important studies that led to the development of this new and unique Meology™ Prenatal program.

The first study is what initially led Shaklee to create the Omega-3 Gellys for the new Meology™ Kids line, and shortly thereafter, to release the Omega-3 Gellys as a unique separate product, for those who struggle with swallowing tablets and/or capsules.

Scientists at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology explored the bioavailability of DHA and EPA delivered by two different formulations:

One group received their fish oil in the traditional soft gel capsules, while another group received the fish oil as droplets, trapped within a gelatin matrix. [4]

Using advanced blood testing and laboratory analyses, they demonstrated that, by giving virtually identical doses of EPA and DHA to 2 different groups, they discovered enhanced absorption in the group who received the gelled emulsions. [4]

Absorption studies comparing Shaklee’s Omega-3 Gellys with other leading brands that market children’s gummy-omega products, also revealed that

Shaklee’s Omega-3 Gellys delivered 3x more DHA + EPA than those competing brands, even though both groups were provided the same-sized dosages!

As usual, Shaklee out-performs the competition, and doubly so, considering that all Shaklee fish oil products undergoes

a proprietary triple molecular distillation process to remove the PCBs (Polychlorinated biphenyls) and mercury that pollute the worlds’ cold-water fish. [5]

Numerous studies have revealed that those pollutants are found at alarming levels in Health Food store and cut-rate Pharmacy brands of Omega-3 products.


The second study by researchers at Purdue University did a cross-sectional analysis of a representative sample of 1,003 pregnant US women, aged 20 to 40 years old, from the 2001-2014 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey database (NHANES). [6]

This study revealed that a significant number of pregnant women are NOT meeting the recommendations for

vitamins D, C, A, B6, K, and E, as well as for folate, choline, iron, calcium, potassium, magnesium, and zinc, even though they were using dietary supplements.

Almost all pregnant women in this study were also at risk for

excessive consumption of sodium, and many were also at risk of excessive consumption of folic acid and iron.
