Isagenix is dangerous to your health, like many unregulated supplements sold by Multi-Level Marketers (MLM). And unfortunately the trush about these dangers is buried online because MLM promoters have a vested interest in posting so much propaganda fluff that it is hard to find out the negative truth.
That is what this blog is for, as well as our sister blog Isagenix is a Scam.
In a recent post on Isagenix is a Scam, we shared the latest verified reports of dangerous side effects of Isagenix. I hope you will read it before taking risks of using Isagenix.

I wonder if Mr Kevin Adams has a conscience? Apparently not or he'd be doing something less damaging to human lives...
As an aside, it looks like Kevin Adams is not much of a LinkedIn networker. He prefers less visible and professional ways of networking...

The claims against Isagenix were filed by two affiliated Ventura, California based infomercial production and manufacturing companies, Nature's Pure Body Institute and Incubation, and their owner, Ken Wright. The lawsuit has been pending since May 2008.
Parties involved in the lawsuit include Bill Wheeler, Ph.D., former spokesperson for Wright's Gold Standard protein product; wife Linda Wheeler; their entity Peak Performance Nutrition, Ltd., a Nevada Corporation; Jim Coover, whose wife Kathy was a co-founder of Isagenix with John Anderson; as well as Ellen Bradley Ganus, one of Isagenix's top sales distributors.
Dr. Bill Wheeler's Gold Standard Protein, a weight loss meal replacement formula, was formulated by Wright and successfully marketed on television and radio from 2003 through 2007.
Wright and his companies assert that they created a line of products bearing the brand name "Dr. Bill Wheeler's Gold Standard Protein," held the commercial rights, trained Wheeler to be the public face and spokesperson of the product line, and invested years of labor and funds building up the Dr. Wheeler line of diet products.

is isagenix safe?
Before buying Isagenix you should know whether it is safe.
The short answer based on our research is that there are many signs that Isagenix is not safe, or that Isagenix may not be safe depending on the circumstances of the person who is taking the supplements, what else they are eating etc.
It is also important to keep in mind that there is no clear evidence that Isagenix is helpful. So even if you take it and you don't have stomach cramps, nausea, light-headedness, disorientation, or one of the myiad side effects people have reported, there is no reason to take the risk and spend a lot of money on a product with the track record of Isagenix.
It is important to keep in mind that anecdotal opinions from individuals do not in any way constute rational scientific evidence that the supplements actual provided a health benefit. Most of the content online about Isagenix is made up of this kind of "testimony"...if you are scientifically literate, you will obviously not take that stuff seriously.
Unfortunately the short answer is that we don't know and there are reasons to be concerned.
More broadly, the nutritional supplement industry in general is very poorly regulated in the US. This dates back to the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994, which severely limited the ability of the US to protect consumers from dangerous supplements.
As Stephen Barret PhD writes:
"Most people think that dietary supplements and herbs are closely regulated to ensure that they are safe, effective, and truthfully advertised. Nothing could be further from the truth. Although some aspects of marketing are regulated, the United States Congress has concluded that "informed" consumers need little government protection. This conclusion was embodied in the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994—commonly referred to as "DSHEA"—which severely limits the FDA's ability to regulate these products."
