What You Should Know
Isagenix is marketed as a company that wants to impact world health, according to the Isagenix website. The company has a line of products for cleansing, nutrition, and skin care. One of the products in the cleansing line, Cleanse for Life, is advertised as a tool for weight loss along with energy and good health. The bottles of Cleanse for Life are sold in a two pack, and each 32 ounce bottle is good for two cleansing days. This product appears to be recommended as a part of a complete system designed to cleanse your body over a 30 day stretch. It is also sold as part of the accelerated nine day program, which promises an average weight loss of seven pounds during that time frame. They also have meal replacement options, including shakes and soups.
The entire product line is available from the official Isagenix website, and also through a network of independent affiliate retailers similar to the classic Avon business model. We are pleased to see that the company provides complete ingredient lists for all of its products, but we are not so inclined to buy into the idea of a complete system with numerous products as the best weight loss method. We believe that many dieters can find success through a low calorie diet, daily exercise and a single, effective weight loss supplement.
Ingredients
The ingredients in the berry flavored Cleanse for Life include a proprietary blend that contains aloe Vera leaf, IsaLyte trace minerals, Pau d’Arco inner bark, suma root, eleutherococcus senticosus root extract, burdock root, fennel seed, peppermint leaf, licorice root, choline bitartrate, inositol, betain HCL and I-methionine.
We do not see anything on this list that stands out as an effective weight loss supplement. While many of the ingredients may be quite healthy in other ways, we prefer to see an appetite suppressant and proven fat burner on the list for maximum weight loss benefit. Well known weight loss substances like chromium, green tea, guarana and hoodia are noticeably absent from this list.
Product Features
Some of the Isagenix products appear to be quite pricey, although a double order of the Cleanse for Life sells for a reasonable $43 at the time of this review. We could not find any information about a free trial offer or money back guarantee.

Advantages
- The idea of cleansing the body from the inside out does offer a number of health benefits.
- The company provides complete ingredient lists for its products.
Disadvantages
- We could not find a money back guarantee.
- The product we looked at doesn’t contain any proven weight loss ingredients.
- The product is sold as part of a complete package that includes many products and is quite expensive.
Conclusion
We like the idea of an effective cleansing product as a method of jump starting a diet. However, cleansing programs are rarely the best choice for long term weight loss. This particular product doesn’t pack much in the way of proven weight loss ingredients to instill much confidence from us in its ability to help dieters shed excess weight. We encourage dieters to look for more effective formulas from other companies for best results.
Need more nstruction how to
use the product.

On the shake mix?
It’s 8 oz of water or juice. 2 scoops in a 8 oz blender mix your favorite fruit and blend. I like the vanilla you can do more things with it. Chocolate doesn’t go with the fruit. but bananas, Blueberries, Strawberries peaches make frozen fruit smoothies.
[Reply]
I dont recommend juice…
[Reply]
like the product and would
like more up to date information.
[Reply]
I got extremely ill on this product…threw up and it took me a week to recover. My doctor says that a lot of these herbs are not good for people…obviously that was true for me. As I was throwing up and in bad shape my Isagenix person was calling me on the phone and telling me to continue…she didnt care about my or my health just about making her commission.
[Reply]
you probably were not ready to cleanse.. did you use your shakes for a while before starting a cleanse? coaching is key there are rare instances when someone might be allergic to an ingredient like in any food. It sounds like you had a bad experience… and had intense cleansing symptoms which in my experience can be avoided by easing into the cleanse…”pre cleansing” …
[Reply]
they don’t tell you to use the shakes at first at all. They want you to do 2 days of precleanse recommended. I never did that I broke daow and ate dinner.then 4 days of shake then 2 days of cleanse. It does make people nausous. and the cleanse is nasty tasting. You have the choice of drinking it straight then water. Thats what I do. I don’t take it anymore.
[Reply]
they actually do tell you to use the shakes for two days before starting the cleanse. you can also eat dark greens during the cleanse if you are extremely hungry. broccoli is a good choice. or peas. and drink LOTS of water. and you should then follow 5 shake days before the final two cleanse days for he 9 day program. also a tip. drink the cleanse with water and put lots of ice in it. its much better cold.
The “Pre-Cleanse” means at least two shake days. I’m actually doing more than two Pre-Cleanse days since my eating habits have been horrible lately. I’m sorry to hear you weren’t instructed properly, but when I bought the system the instructions were quite clear. It sounds like you jumped straight into the Cleanse, which is too abrupt a change for some people.
Sounds like you had all the signs of a very toxic body & I did as well but I did stick it out & the results were just amazing! When you got started did you print a copy of “Symptoms to Expect when Cleansing & Improving your health”?
[Reply]
You were in the middle of cleaning out your body! When you change the oil in your car, what comes out? Gunk!
[Reply]
Exact same thing happened to me. This happens to me everytime and I know the reason. I was just full of junk! Fortunately I didn’t quit and I’m the better for it. And there is a 100% money back guarantee.
[Reply]
I’ve seen others have great success with this but I’ve only ever lost a few pounds. The shake mix is rather high carb and high in cellulose but better when mixed with their whey powder. In my opinion, any time you choose not to eat for a day or two you are going to lose weight, slow down your metabolism and most likely gain it back.
[Reply]
I’ve been on Isagenix for 6 months, and have lost 26 lbs and have never felt better in my life. I will tell you that doing the cleanse as directed is key and eating organic balanced meal. The 9 day, 30 day and maintenance program make it easy. yes it is expensive but so is regular food. i found the budget just shift — instead of buying other stuff I ordered my Isagenix and purchased less junk at the store. My whole family loves it and non of us have caught cold (knock on wood..). my site is greathealthcoach.isagenix.com And yes there is a money back guarantee. I personally coach all that signs up with me.
[Reply]
Good sales pitch! Keep that commission coming!If everybody has Toxins in their system, and the liver produces fat to encapsulate the toxins ( as told by the Isagenix rep), why isn’t the whole world fat? Notice the key here as with any diet- 8-12 8oz glasses of water a day! People lose weught with Nutrisystem – and you get real food!
[Reply]
Fred, Nutrisystem helps people who eat a lot of junk food to lose weight, and then they gain it right back. It is so full of junk itself most people wind up losing their gallbladder because of the sudden change of diet and just all the junk they’ve eaten over the years. If you have a reaction from cleansing it’s because you’re full of toxins and having a healing crises, it takes time to undue damage.
Have you looked around you lately? People in the US are not just fat, they are Obese! Adults and children alike. And have you noticed the ever increasing numbers of cancer, diabetes, heart disease, infertility… the list goes on. Even the US govt recently released a statement saying that toxins in our environment play more of a role in creating diseases such as cancer then even genetics. I have been using Isagenix for 19 months and have seen huge health beneifts. Lower blood pressure, lower cholesterol, total removal of the 7 medications that I was taking for fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, and severe migraines. Safe and healthy Cleansing is not just a good suggestion in my opinion… it is NECESSARY!!! And don’t forget the shakes that replenish your body with the missing vitamins and butrients taht are gone from our food sources due to pesticides and chemicals!
I’ve only had one cold in the last five years. Just eating normal food. How often do you and your family get colds? Your losing weight because you are controling your calorie intake. You can do that with real food.
[Reply]
You’re absolutely right, Tracy. The best way to lose weight is through sensibly reducing your calories, adding more fresh fruits and raw vegetables, and cutting out a lot of meat and dairy. The fastest way you can lose FAT, is 3 lbs a week. If you’re losing weight faster, it’s coming from your brain, and other organs that you NEED!
[Reply]
how do you know this? can you reference a dissertation you wrote or are you just taking someone else’s words and making it your own? thanks, MD, i presume
[Reply]
Truly bitter, buddy. Try to keeping down…..yikes, why would this bother you? Look at the studies. They are there and I have medical background.
tracey – apparently you have no idea what you’re talking about. The shake is made with organic whey protein so I don’t know where you get that you have to mix it in.?? You must have the wrong company. Not high carbs either.
[Reply]
Tracy, isalean shake is all you need on shake day. Mixed with 8 oz of water and fruit. makes a great shake.
[Reply]
Isagenix is the only thing i have ever done that worked 106 lbs total weight loss and kept it off for 2 years !Totaly changed my life !!
[Reply]
i am on the diet….i have avoided colds my family has suffered from, and general health seems very good, been on it for a little over a month lost 14 lbs. question is this a good plan….what is the general opinion…this is not a cheap diet, but the weight loss is not rapid after initial jump start. definately can see the difference….went from 157 to 144…
[Reply]
Isagenix does have a money back guarantee for those signed up on auto-ship, but they require the *all* of the original containers and it must be within the first 3o days (I think). Allergic reactions appear to happen.
[Reply]
Yes the money back guarantee is only for the first 30 Days. I’ve been using Isagenix for 4yrs. now, I have NOT had anyone have an Allergic reaction to any of these amazing products.
[Reply]
Auto-ship is not necessary to get the 30 Day guarantee (though you get the very best prices on auto ship!). Isagenix is extremely good at honoring this policy.
[Reply]
My results? 22 pounds, 32.5 inches, 3 pant sizes, 6.7%body fat..GONE FOR OVER A YEAR. I am healthier, have great energy, more lean muscle and my immune system is strong. ALL THIS AT AGE 55!!!
[Reply]
How long were you on it? I just started 6 days ago and I do feel better then ever and just want to know what others are doing that makes the most of the 60 days I have bought of it! Thanks and congrats!
[Reply]
denne… i have been on isagenix for about 25 days now and i feel amazing… i have lost 26 lbs and 27.34 inches from my body and i don’t ache all the time anymore… i wake up feeling good..and i sleep soo much better… ISAGENIX IS A LIFE SAVER TO ME!!!!
[Reply]
what combo do you get for weight loss. it is confusing to me on the site
Do I have Heidi Flagg? What products are you using with isaganix? I am using the product too. Just wanting to utilize more fully
Judy
BIG DITTO THERE. Good job
Congratulations! Very impressive! I started the 30-day program recently and would love to hook up with someone that I can share my journey with. I’m also 55. If you are interested, let me know.
[Reply]
I also started on March 9 and I will be 55 next week. I am contemplating just sticking with the program minus the cleansing stuff. Both the liquid and the powder made me sick! I love the shakes! I have lost 10 lbs and do feel better overall. I am a nurse and am really skeptical about the whole cleansing thing. What would you do?
[Reply]
Sherri, I too experience Nausea occasionally on the cleanse but is usually becaue I didn’t eat one of the suggested snacks before I took my Natural Accelerator and my Multi Vitamin. either of these will usually make you feel naseaus if you don’t have something solid in your stomach be fore taking them. Maybe try eating a IsaSnack before you take your accelerator on your next cleanse day. But as Always make sure you talk with your cleanse coach that signed you up. If you can’t reach them let me know I will get you in touch with cleanse coaches that will be happy to help you make the most of your Journey.
Cleanse for Life is not sold in a 2 pak or if it was it not now. It is sold either individually or in a case of 4 called the “Everyday Cleanse Pak”

Diane the original source of these products was a chiropractor in Chandler who is very hard to reach. I was wondering where you life, I am in Tempe but do not mind driving as bit to get products
[Reply]
Hi I am interested in cleansing my body for over all health and to correct my gasteritis and constipation..What product or products would you advise I start with..It is quite costly so I would rather start with the products that would help me the most..
[Reply]
Linda, this “cleanse” is not a colon cleanse, it’s a full-body cellular cleanse. I love the thought. The nutritional part of the whole Isagenix product is wonderful for us (so that meets the your health comment) and the constipation part might be reduced by the IsaFiber product. Did you read about it on-line? It’s quite superior and helps me with the same issue. Unfamiliar with the first thing (gasteritis) sorry. Anyway, we don’t stop trying to find a solution. Isagenix is an excellent source. Let me know. wish you well. Ann
[Reply]
I am wondering if I just try the IsaShakes if that would help me lose weight instead of doing the cleanse?
[Reply]
Hi Traci, I believe any time we reduce calorie intake, you’re bound to lose. The shakes are a superfood and nutritionally very sound. The cleanse adds a whole new deminsion to being well and losing weight. The combination of shakes and cleanse reduces cravings which help (me) stay disciplined. Go for it. My friend told me when she started, “if you told me I could lose 30 lbs, I’d take out a loan”. I thought — you know, I would, too
I do wish you well in your decision. If you want, write back! warmly – Ann
[Reply]
I started this last Saturday morning weighing 266 lbs. As of Friday 3pm I weighed in at 259 lbs. All I have done is the ISALEAN Shakes 2 times a day and a sensible dinner. If I snack I stick to the 100 calorie paks of whatever. I think after my 2nd week, if I have lost more than 10 lbs I am going to try to incorporate the cleanse to drop even more. My goal was to be 230 by 5/30.
[Reply]
Steve, I know you will reach your goal! Congrats & stick to it your doing GREAT!
I was worried about justing drinking the shakes due to them being more calories and more fat than I would usually eat for breakfast, etc. Didn’t know if that alone would help with weight loss. I don’t think I can handle the taste of the cleanse and don’t know if I would be able to cleanse (without eating regular food).
[Reply]
Well, the first few cleanses for me were ok, it was odd – not eating food-food. Now, I cleanse without any effort (which still seems odd, but, it works for me). Isagenix has a liquid and powder (mix it with water) cleanse product now. I prefer the liquid for ease. The taste is ok – not terrific, but ok. Have you had a chance to read up on the benefits of the cleanse? It’s really good for us.
[Reply]
Traci the key to any change is the desire to do it. If you say you can’t do it, then you wont. Simple but true. I have seen many struggle with a cleanse, either due to taste or because of a mental struggle of not consuming food. I have struggled with my weight since I was 10, in January I managed to do the master cleanse, I ate no food for 12 days! It would have been impossible if I thought it would be, mind over matter, I had a ton of energy and was able to workout through the entire cleanse. I lost 30 pounds in 30 days on isagenix, again it’s mind over matter. Commit and you will find success. Empower yourself, I know you can do it! Good luck on attaining your goals
[Reply]
Annie,
Wow…30lbs. in 30 days!? I just ordered my 30 day package so to hear of your weight loss really inspires me. But, did you or do you have alot of weight to lose? I am roughly 30-40lbs. overweight and am also looking to be healthier and make better choices in the future. So….my question is can you really lose alot of weight even if you are only over by say 30lbs? Thanks!
Since last Saturday morning I have went from 266lbs down to 259lbs – this is with just the 2 ISALEAN Shakes and 1 sensible meal a day. My goal is to be 230 by 5/30 and if I lose around the same amount during the 2nd week, I may consider the cleanse to help out as well.
[Reply]
Congrats Steve!! Doing the cleanse helps accelerate weight loss because it is helping to rid your body of impurities/toxins. Good luck in your weight loss journey – if I can be of any help just let me know. I have been with Isagenix since 8/07.
[Reply]
Steve, It is now the end of February – I wanted to know how how you have progressed over the last month. Did you stick to it? How much weight did you lose? What are your updated thoughts on Isagenix?
[Reply]
This has been very helpful to read all of your comments. I used all the products about 2 years ago…I did lose some weight but not like I thought I would. Am thinking about it again but it is so expensive and caused me to be somewhat gassy…did anyone have that problem?
[Reply]
I feel the same way about the price …yikes! and my stomach gave me some trouble too….no one else has commented maybe it is just the two of us with that problem. Would beano help?
[Reply]
Lactose intollerance might be an issue. The high quality whey powder is still whey and not everyone can tolerate it. Gassyness might be a good thing. Check with your doctor. Your elimination system might not be up to the task. Fix that first, then spend the $5.00 a day on 2 each 240 calorie meals (replacing regular food and latte treats) for 30 days and see what happens. Good luck.
[Reply]
For me, the cost is a great motivator! I am going to stick to this plan and not waste my money!
After 6 weeks, so far, so good. Do not weigh myself but am fitting into clothes I haven’t worn in years!
[Reply]
I am very lactose intollerant and haven’t had any problems with the product (just started on 12 June) did the cleanse and had to mix the juice with 12 oz of really cold water and initially hold my nose. The key to keeping the gassiness at bay is to drink a TON of water! And make sure you take 2 iso flushes each nite!
[Reply]
I started the Isagenix program last January after my 52nd birthday and my frustration with my weight reached an all time high. I lost 30 pounds in the first three months and I’ve kept it off. I feel fabulous, went from approaching a size 14 to a size 6, and just ran a half-marathon. Now I use the program a little looser but still find that if a pound or two creeps on due to some indulgence I can get serious again. There’s no silver bullet, you still have to exercise and make good food choices, but for those of us who tried other things and could never get the scale to move due to hormonal changes or otherwise, this is a great, safe way to do it and keep it off! It’s healthy, satisfying and it works!
[Reply]
Does any of these products contain caffeine or any other stimulants?
[Reply]
There are no stimulants used in these products, only natural ingredients.
[Reply]
Keep in mind that natural ingredients can also be stimulants. Caffeine is naturally a part of coffee.
[Reply]
Will the 9 day cleansing also get rid or lower cholesterol level? My Cholesterol level is about 217. My good cholesterol needs to come up some (more exercise) & bad Cholesterol down.
[Reply]
Isagenix can not make any medical claims… a medical study does show significant improvement in serum levels… if you would like me to send you a copy of the study e mail me the request and I will send it to you.
[Reply]
I am interested in reading the medical study on improvement in serum levels. Please send me a copy. Thank you
[Reply]
Brien, Isagenix can not make medical claims.
However……….when you have a healthy body filled with incredible nutrition, well…let’s just say it’s amazing what miracles our bodies can perform.
[Reply]
I recently had chemo therapy for breast cancer. I continued to take the Isagenix shakes during this time. My Dr’s were amazed how well I tolerated the treatment. I really believe it was the Isagenix.
[Reply]
good for you!!! keep up the good work… consider the Isawater.. to help alkalize your body.. and it has a high ORP value
you can purchase on your web site.. look for Isawater..
[Reply]
No caffeine, efedra or mau haung…all natural herbs…..are you looking at purchasing some of the product or are you currently using it?
[Reply]
I started Isagenix 2 days before Thanksgiving and it was a struggle through the holidays to be 100% faithful to the plan, but I have lost 18 lbs. and 24-1/2 inches. I like what one of our associates told us — “weight loss is just a side benefit of this product”. My husband and I have been cold and flu free so far this winter and we feel terrific. The problem with a low calorie diet alone to lose weight is that we don’t get everything we need from the food we eat. Unless you are in a place where you can buy organic foods, the food we buy in the grocery store is sorely lacking the vitamins and minerals we need. By the way, my blood pressure is coming down as well. I am still on medication and would not stop without asking my doctor, but it is definitely getting better.
[Reply]
Where can i purchase this product? definite would like to try it..
[Reply]
Did you get the help you were looking for Susie?
[Reply]
Can you eat anything while using the cleanse ?
[Reply]
It is best if you only drink the cleanse, and take the snacks, but if it means sticking with it or giving up, you can eat a few raw, natural almonds and up to four stalks of celery without negatively effecting your cleanse.
[Reply]
Is Isagenix the same product as Isogenix advertized by Amazon? Search engines seem to have them mixed up if they are different products. When I searched IsOgenix I got message “results for Isogenix (corrected from Isagenix” ??? confused!
[Reply]
There is no IsOgenix…it’s just often misspelled. ;o)
[Reply]
Isogenix is part of a product line of another company – we are isAgenix – and that’s the name of our company and our product line – very different products and results and focus
[Reply]
Do you have instructions on how to use the products?
[Reply]
I just started doing Isagenix and I do have more energy and lost 5 lbs. in a week. I also was wondering if anyone suffers with Fibromyalga or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome? I am hoping to feel less pain and fatigue from this product, along with some weight loss of course.
Anyone out there with a success story on that?
[Reply]
Hi Lori! See my post to MaryAnn below.
[Reply]
I just started using Isagenix yesterday. I suffer from fibromyalgia also and we are hoping it will help.
[Reply]
Lori, I too deal w/ CFS. Would you be kind and continue to post how you are doing, and what products you are using ? I’ve tried so many things, I’m just tired of being disappointed.
[Reply]
Hi MaryAnn, I’m so sorry you’ve been disappointed with everything. I know how that feels. Since Isagenix can’t make medical claims, I’d be happy to put you in touch with someone with the same discomfort so you could ask her specific questions about her progress if you’d like.
[Reply]
8 lbs in 4 days is way to drasticand I am afraid it will do more harm than good
[Reply]
I have been doing the shakes for over a month. I have lost 13 lbs. I hesitate to do the cleanse because I am on a lot of medication for heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure and cholesterol. My goal is to lose weight and maybe get off some of the meds. I will be seeing my diabetes doctor the end of the monh and I’m hoping my bloodwork will reflect the benefits of being on this program. Could you direct me to some place where the issue of medication is addressed
[Reply]
I JUST started Isagenix. I’m currently on my second day of pre-cleanse. Cleansing starts tomorrow. Just wondering if the 9 day program works well. I’m trying to lose some weight but really don’t want to spend so much for a year worth of supply.
[Reply]
I currently take antidepressants and I am considering starting Isagenix, does anyone have any idea if I can do it while taking my meds?
[Reply]
Cecilia, I too am on antidepressants but ordered my 30 day kit today. I currently take Effexor along with meds for blood pressure and acid reflux. I am not sure how this will affect me but am going to give it a try! Check back with me if you want and I will let you know how it is going!
[Reply]
Can you drink coffee on the isagenix 9 day cleanse
[Reply]
If your focus is to lose weight…I would say yes. If you want to “detox” some would say no. I drink green tea as a replacement for coffee during my isagenix programs. It keeps headaches associated with caffeine withdrawls at bay.
[Reply]
I am considering trying the shakes and the weekly cleanse. However, I have IBS, without constipation. Will this program be irritating to my system? I don’t want to run to the toilet any faster than I need to.
[Reply]
where can your purchase this? and is there a suggestion on how old you should be to take it?
[Reply]
I am going to start the program as soon as it comes and I am wondering what to expect. Much diarrhea with the cleanse? What do you actually take everyday.
I am worried about going to school and taking this at the same time. I am 51 and had very large children, if you know what I mean. I would need to be in a safe place for this…..and I have got to hope that it is worth it. I weight 250 and gained 40 of it in the last 6 months…..an incredible rate. Now my joints hurt, my feet are agony and my migraines are worse. I just need something that works.
[Reply]
It is uncommon to get diarrhea on this cleanse. Listen to the CD that comes with it and you will have strategies if this doesn’t happen.
[Reply]
Instructions for the product are not very helpful, rather confusing
[Reply]
What is the natural source that is used for the fructose in the ISAGENIX Shakes?
[Reply]
Sam
The Fructose in our shakes come from Pear, apples and beats
[Reply]
I noticed in the isagenix slim cakes there is crystalline fructose and corn syrup. This can’t be good for you…..!
[Reply]
It seems that Isagenix seems to be the wonder food, maybe too good to be true. After doing a little research and reading what people write about this product made me wonder: this company is only 8 years old, no one knows what real side effects will come in some years. Hope this doesn’t cause people to get any type of severe health problem in a near future. I’ve always heard the less processed the food, the better it’s for you.
[Reply]
Has anyone followed the 9 day cleanse and not lost anything? I am 6 days into the program, have done 2 cleanse days, starting another today and have lost 1 pound. I am following the plan, although I may not be forcing all the water suggested. I thought this 9 day plan would be a great kick-off, but now I am concerned that I’m eating next to nothing, and not losing weight. Any suggestions?
[Reply]
Hi Judi, Not everyone experiences the same results, but don’t worry and keep drinking water:-) Your last two cleanse days are key and make sure you are drinking a ton of water. The cleanse will get the toxins out of your cells, but you need the water to flush it out of your system.
[Reply]
I wanted to start up the program again and and I have some supreme and cleanse liquid left in each bottle.I wanted to know if once you open the bottles and they are not used within 30 days are they still okay or have they expired? Thanks
[Reply]
Cynthia, All the products have expiration dates on them. If they are in the fridge, they are good til the expiration date, even if they are opened.
[Reply]
I recently started the program; however, to suit my own lifestyle. I decided to get my body back in shape and good health this summer and of course continue with the new lifestyle changes. I really like the product; however, when I started working out, the nutritionist at the gym was concerned about the amount of fat and sugar in the Isa Shakes. I’ve seen other Whey Protein Products on the market, alkalized water, and cleansers…I know this is suppose to be top of the line, but these other products are at least backed up by the FDA…I guess I want to be sure I’m not getting scammed. Again, I’m a new user and really like the product, but has someone done enough research to prove this product is any better than others on the market at our health and nutrition stores??? Thanks so much and look forward to hearing back!
[Reply]
Wow another pyramid scheme taking advantage of stupid people. Easy to see, read the ingredients, nothing to help lose weight, nothing to keep it off. If you’re looking to lose weight stop putting high calorie foods in your mouth – simple. Control your eaing, count your calories, and exercise.
[Reply]
After listening in on a team sales conference call I fear exactly the same as you Reality. I’ve just started the 30 detox & weight loss plan but am very skeptical. Products are way to pricey and it seems it’s all about making a buck.
[Reply]
We all need to learn a little bit about nutrition and society’s tendency to poor eating. Isagenix does not need to put weight-loss accelerators into their product – for one, they could be harmful in themselves. Their system does not claim to be a weight loss solution. Weight loss just happens to be a benefit of nutritional cleansing, not the goal.
[Reply]
The sales associate “M” was way convincing and I didn’t listen to that LOUD voice in my head. I still opt a try. “M” did alot of fast talking. Told me I needed this & that. She misinformed me, ordered my 1st month. She told me to call when the shipment came in July 7, 2010.and she would talk me through everything. In it came as perdicted.I phoned “M” immediately as I sat amongst the product. Had to leave a message “M” has never and I repeat never to this day called me back. I got into my account and found that “M” the person
I spoke with and who took my information according to Isagenix was not even the person listed as my contact person It was “L”. That was it lie to me once shame on you, lie to me twice shame on me. I am so done
[Reply]
obviously it isn’t that simple for many people to control their eating. If it were, there wouldn’t be such an epidemic of obesity and the diet industry wouldn’t be so big in this country. There are a lot of people who haven’t managed to do it on thier own and need help.
[Reply]
I’m not looking at starting an Isagenix 30 day cleanse as a weight loss system and I really don’t think that is what it is intended for, I simply want to be healthier. Is this a good system for that? Is it ok to start this program when I don’t have too much excess weight to loose?

Wendy, yes it is ok to be on the products. It does contain a dairy product, and can cause stomache upset in people who are lactose intolerant. There is a gentleman by the name of Shane Freels who is a professional sports trainer. He uses the products, and has had outstanding results on professional atheletes. In the spirit of full disclosure I am an Isagenix Associate, and I have release 23 pounds, and reduced by size by over 28 inches overall. It is not a “Diet” program, it is a nutritional system. The question is; What is your health, and wellness worth?
