AdvoCare
Reviews and Complaints

You aren't supposed to sell the products on any e-commerce site. So what are you doing here??????? And the prices are outrageous..

ADVOCARE HAS SUCROLOSE ,DEXTROSE AND SUCROSE IN IT WHICH ARE SOME OF THE WORST INGREDIANTS YOU CAN EAT.......

Sucrolose has been scrutinized for 20 years prior to being approved by the FDA in which no scientific evidence has linked it to cancer or any other disease. In fact, its a great dietary supplement and excellent choice for diabetics, please see mayoclinic.com for a reputable quick reference.

Sucrose is "table sugar" and not unhealthy in reasonable amounts. As for dextrose, it is an essential body nutrient. Without it the bodies cells would not have the energy to perform their functions.

For instance, the brain absolutely requires dextrose "glucose" and oxygen to survive.... I hope this helps as you have been misinformed

123Huh,

The FDA is far from trustworthy when it comes to protecting the health interests of the American public. You need to watch the documentary called "Fed Up." The government is more concerned with lobbyist and corporate dollars.

There SHOULD NOT be sugar of ANY form added to a health supplement...

Also, you have been misinformed...yes the body does need "sugar", but only in the form of complex carbohydrates... Not ADDED sugar of ANY kind...

I see Maggie the spelling Nazi is here!

I was very excited to use this product .lost 3 pounds in the cleanse phase and after that I hv not lost a single pound.I hv been exercising and hvnt had coffee in the past 24 days.Hv stuck to the plan and hvnt eaten anything bad.Today os my 24th day n hv lost only 3 pounds.Dont like advocare was mis lead.Its a complete waste of money.

It's not always about the pounds, people don't realize that. It's about the inches, getting lean and getting toned.

Muscle weighs more than fat, proven fat. Did you take before & after pictures.

Could you tell a difference in them? Again, I think your coach has a BIG impact on your success.

Have is spelled HAVE not HV. And haven't is HAVEN'T not hvnt.

It's the internet not a dissertation.

First, I am not an Advocare Rep despite what you might think after this. Your post says the company policy is to "offend it's (sic) clientele..." Where did you get this quote from?

Rather than making a baseless claim about a policy, you should back it up with factual evidence. You have no credibility here as a result of your lack of actual, verifiable info.

You should look up companies before investing!

But as a rule of thumb, any company that sells you stuff and tells you to sell it to others and recruit a sales team is just a pyramid scheme!

I suggest u sue it's a guaranteed win!

As for your friend who's card was charged without authorization, why doesn't he just dispute the charges?

You are slandering a good person and you should be held accountable for your malicious public assault. People buy products and consciously make their own decisions.

I have nothing to do with the products and know Pam from a distance. She is a decent kind human being and your verbal assault is no less than disrespectful

You wk for the company, this violates terms. No one sticks uo for a sham co for nothing. Your comment should be removed.

It's not slander when he is telling people about his personal experience.

Plus, the company he is talking about is being discussed on the news as a pyramid scheme and I'm pretty sure we we will be hearing about them being sued soon just like all the other companies that used the same business model "the customers are the sales representatives"

How was your friend charged without their permission. The customer would to have had to go to the website and enter in the order and then provide their credit card at that time. It would not have been something the distributor would have had access to.

I would be willing to buy some of the skin care Definite Difference products you're stuck with...I loved their exfoliator which was discontinued a couple years back..and I love their two moisturizers...and all their skin care is now discontinued. Please let me know if anyone has these for sale--I have the most tricky and sensitive skin and I don't know what I'll do when all my exfoliator stock and moisturizers from the Advocare Definite Difference line run out.

Post here and I'll contact you. PC

They have skin care line now

And you decide to buy into this smarmy direct marketing *** because a rep tells you that you will make thousands? Idiots.

How does anyone not return these products? If they are un opened I was told you can return them for up to a year.

If you don't like the person you bought the products through;

then deal with the company direct.

I personally have lost 38 pounds. I needed to loose. I am a professional athlete and know many athletes over 40 that love these products.

To each his own. Such anger!

I drank the spark today for the first time and I too had an allergic reaction, itching all over my body and headache and hot on my face.

How can I buy some of your product - esp the skin care line? They discontinued it unexpectedly and it was the only thing I've had no reaction to in years. I'm in Illinois near Chicago.

im allergic to spark fruit punch. it could be you are specifically allergic to certain flavors.

im not allergic to any of the other flavors. just an fyi to you and every one else (from a very educated nutritionist), you are at a risk when you take any new supplements from any comapany, be prepared with something like benedryl always.

you need to go to an allergist and get a allergy skin test done so you can specifically avoid certain herbs and supplements by reading the labels.

Seems to me your foolish for continuing to use something if it doesn't agree with you. Specially to the tune of 3k plus.

Please do yourself a great favor and check out Yoli.com!! It is an amazing system and all products are 100% natural.

One of our friends found out she was allergic to one of the ingredient in an Advocare product. She told her Distributor and they got with the team scientist that take care of Advocare products and apparently changed the ingredient to something else.

Since then she has not had a problem. People are so quick to complain before contacting someone for help.

What a bunch of b.s.

Advocare won't even certify their products gluten/nut free and you wan't people to believe that they re-formulated a product for "a friend of yours"?!?

Get real!

Niacin is an ingredient in some products, but most do not have the type of reaction you've described. When I read your story my first reaction is, "Why would you take a product you're allergic to for over a year, especially when there are over 80 products?" More importantly, when is the last time you spoke with the person who introduced you to AdvoCare?

Also, if I can help send me an email paterakis669@***.com. Finally, call 180******** to ask about the money back guarantee.

Sucralose is linked to leukemia.

I have read several reports and it showed that sucralose is safe and efficient. It is regulated by the FDA and all products of advocare has been tested for their safety before being dispense.

""Sucralose has been accepted by several national and international food safety regulatory bodies, including the FDA, Joint Food and Agriculture Organization / World Health Organization Expert Committee on Food Additives, the European Union's Scientific Committee on Food, Health Protection Branch of Health and Welfare Canada, and Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ). According to the Canadian Diabetes Association, the amount of sucralose that can be consumed over a person's lifetime without any adverse effects is 9 milligrams per day per kilogram of body weight.[23][24]

"In determining the safety of sucralose, the FDA reviewed data from more than 110 studies in humans and animals.

Many of the studies were designed to identify possible toxic effects, including carcinogenic, reproductive, and neurological effects. No such effects were found, and FDA's approval is based on the finding that sucralose is safe for human consumption." For example, McNeil Nutritional LLC studies submitted as part of its U.S.

FDA Food Additive Petition 7A3987 indicated that "in the 2-year rodent bioassays ... there was no evidence of carcinogenic activity for either sucralose or its hydrolysis products ..."[25]""

ok, honest to a t, if you have had a *** problem twice now, stop taking the ***. stop posting that your doctor has deemed the products unsafe food you.

because now that you have stated that *** it just show you're fishing for sympathy. which in my opinion is pathetic. do something else with your life other than blaming something else for your completely *** choice in doing a second go around. and furthermore, if you are a distributor, how are you ever gonna advance in selling the product if right from the start you push all possibilities away, advocate is a company much the same a gnc, max nutrition...

and all the others, the health issues are your problem. especially if your gonna keep doing it and damaging you own body. myself, I'm am not fat or anything like but have started it. I am 53 days in and I feel amazing and I am also only 23 years old and the change in my energy level is amazing compared to just two month ago.

also should inform you that not medical problem. thanks from small *** town in arkansas

Let me see here,are you a diabetic? If you are then what do you recommend to me to eat.

Let me explain something to you idiots that are overweight, and can eat anything they want. But wait, what is that, you can't have bread, soy, wheat, any food coloring, cereal, sugar, fats, and over 90 ingredients that is banned in Europe and Asia and you are worried about supra lose. I will tell you want, you build yourself a garden, without using pesticides, grow veg., fruits that is if you live in the south, have chickens , cows, pigs, and whatever you want.

So my advice live on a farm.

advocare sucks. I tried it, and got kidney stones.

Then my wife left me because I didn't have insurance and the medical bill was atrocious. I lost my house and half my assets.

All because stinkin advocare. Advocare made me lose my life.

Ok! I think your kidney problems and family problems has nothing to do with Advocare.

My advice to you is seek out counseling and stop blaming Advocare for you problems.

Advocare has nothing to do with kidney stones or you losing your wife, house, and anything else you can think of. Stop making excuses and get into some serious counseling.

Wrong! One of the ingredients in AdvoCare products - sucralose does INDEED cause gastrointestinal problems and kidney problems.

And I will point out that I'm an AdvoCare Distributor. This is my second time around. The first time a few years ago I was having gastrointestinal problems but didn't know the cause other than it started when I started using the products and cleared when I stopped. This time, my problems are more intense and I went to the doctor and took all the ingredients of everything I was taking and my doctor noticed the sucralose in Spark and in the Meal replacement shakes.

Bingo! Sucralose can cause kidney stones, seizures, dizziness, migraines, blurred vision, allergic reactions, blood sugar increases, and weight gain. As of today I have stopped taking the Spark and the Meal Replacement Shakes and will see if my problems clear up on their own or not. Based on my previous experience I'm betting they will.

So - your extremely RUDE comments to the previous poster are way out of line. He can blame anyone he wants to even if he should also turn that blame on himself as I am for not doing my research better in the first place. He voiced his opinion and I realize you are voicing yours as well but let's not be so cruel about it. There's quite enough of that in this world as it is.

As for AdvoCare - I love Spark and the 24 Day Program was successful for me but, that doesn't mean that it's right or even healthy for everyone - I love fried foods, ice cream and candy too - you have to be your own judge. AdvoCare does use artificial sweeteners and for many people that can cause permanent or temporary health issues. Research and do what is best for you.

For me as a distributor, I will let people know my experience so they can choose for themselves but, I will not hide and say it didn't happen because that is poor business and I sure as heck don't want my health problems to happen to anyone else as it is painful, expensive and life style changing.

Here come the zealots that defend things to the core......the Mormons of the "health nutrition" world.

Anything that's modified with chlorine and then ingested can't possibly do anything good to your body.
