I went full paleo while doing a 6-week CrossFit challenge. From that I started the Advocare 180. During this, I began taking MNS 3. I took it for about 6 weeks religiously, and then took a break from it (for about a month) per the instructions of my seller/team leader, to test to see how I would react. My bathroom visits did decrease. Well, I recently started taking MNS 3 again, and sure enough - I think this is what is sending me to the bathroom 5+x/day. I have been back on it for about 2-weeks, and I just don't feel "good." In fact, I feel exhausted. I am one who tries to ride things out as long as possible - give things the benefit of the doubt, and try my hardest to see things through. Having recently started a new job, I am not able to make it to the gym any longer (all work no play, it seems). I'm sure that would have accelerated the weight loss, but I was committed (wasn't cheap). I made it through the 180 seeing only a few pound loss, but I don't have a "ton" of weight to lose. I have jokingly said to my friend (who sells Advocare) that I am sure I am one of very, very few people who actually dislikes Spark (and will say it out loud). I don't care for it at all (nor the shakes, which taste horrific - then again, I have yet to find a "meal replacement shake" that tastes good). I have recently started their "Slim" product though, and can honestly say I am able to take this one in a lot more easily. I don't exactly know why. I am bound and determined to see this through, but here I am again - nauseous and exhausted, and just not feeling "good" whatsoever. I don't know where the post under the original came from ("This person wrote the review because of warranty issue...), but I do think that is an unfair statement. Public reviews should be expected and accepted, regardless of whether or not they are in your favor. Not everyone will see or feel the same results. I'm a real person not looking for money, praise, sympathy, etc., etc. This is my experience. Take it or leave it! Off to the bathroom...yet again!

Advocate is a joke!

i have always eaten healthy, drank water, and worked out daily. with my wedding approaching I've had so many people talk about advocate being a way to cut down on bloating and lose some pounds and inches so i fell for it. i ordered the 24 day cleanse and started on it right away , being sure to follow the strict instructions sent with everything. the first day wasn't bad i felt like i had energy and i didn't have cravings. then the second day came and the third followed by days 4-7 and i have been so sick, in so much intestinal pain, dizziness, extreme fatigue, and not to mention the migraines that no medicine can cure. i haven't been able to work out in 7 days I'm so tired and weak, i crawl in bed at 6pm because i can't even hold myself up anymore and I'm miserable. i stopped after 7 days and have no intention to ever start it back up or finish. I'm very in tune with my body and it is screaming for me to stop taking these products. there is no explanation for my reaction to this product and I'm so bad today I've contemplated going to the ER to be checked for anemia. but then i got online and was shocked to read and see how many other people were experiencing the same things i was and that just sealed the deal for me. ADVOCARE is a joke and was cleared not formed by a RD because I've eating my balanced meals based off of my daily required needs and have drank nothing but water ( gallon a day) and feel like i can't hold myself up even. DO NOT TAKE THIS PRODUCT THERES SO MANY BETTER THINGS I COULD HAVE BOUGHT FOR $220.
Loss:
$225

EXTREMELY SICK

Smaller container. No more

I hadn’t used AdvoCare for a couple years. But needed to get back to healthy weight and my energy level plummeted after major loss. Ordered it on amazon and thought it was the same one I always ordered in the past. Much smaller size and actually more expensive than I remember. I will use this order but will not purchase again. Consolidating to one side is fine but price should have gone down. Spending $200+ per month for their supplements...no one can afford that. If they could they’d have personal trainers and a chef who cooks every meal. I’m really disappointed.

I was told this product was going to change my life. Well guess what. It’s a scam. Distributors make money from you. They tried to convince you . The product is garbage

No complaint, just i have tried Advocare products and so far have been the best products ive tried from all the competition out there. I was buying the product and became a distributor and not to sell the product but to use it my self. And so far its been the best products i have used. 5 stars for advocare

Shyster hustlers
I was approached by a diamond rep, Sam, to be on her team. She was so enthusiastic, like, annoying enthusiastic. She went on & on about how I can make my life better, be in control of my life & live it on my own terms, apparently Sam assumes we're all miserable unless we're hustling for her. Well, turns out, Sam stands to make money off of all the sales I make, ha, no wonder she's so enthusiastic. My friend & I both thought she was a con job. She claims to care so much about making other people happy when the truth is she's making herself happy by recruiting you so she gets a cut of all your sales. Sorry Sam, I'm not interested in hustling Advocare products to people when all you have to do is eat a healthy balanced diet and exercise. Supplements don't get absorbed into the body, they just give you expensive urine.

Spark made me sick
Rating Details
I recently purchased the new packaged spark. Not sure if they have changed the formula. But, I got horribly sick. Almost instant diarrhea followed by flushing. The nausea has gotten worse as the day goes on. Symptoms of niacin poisoning! I am a distributor and cannot in good conscience sell this poison to people! I’m canceling my membership. Shame on you Advocare for selling this garbage!!! I will spread the word to everyone who will listen!!!! Everyone needs to know how terrible Advocare is and hopefully nobody else gets sick!!!

I have been using Advocare off and on for the past 8 years. Some of the products I have tried I don't care for but there are a few that work really well for me. I love how the MNS vitamins are all prepackaged and ready to go and I do feel a little more pep in my step, my nails grow longer, and eyes are brighter after completing a box. I cycle on and cycle off vitamins, I would like to get most of my nutrients from food, but sometimes busy lifes don't let this happen. I have tried many other company's too but keeping coming back to my tried and true Advocare. I'm sorry to hear about those with bad customer service experiences. I have had absolutely none.

Michael was very friendly at first. I am still in high school and was just trying to help myself feel and look better for my senior prom. Michael became pushy, borderline offensive, and harassed me to a point. Please fix this for future customers.

I had this same issue with MNS when I started about 4 years ago. I kept plugging along thinking that my body just needed to adjust.
Then wham, I ordered another form of MNS the 3 series. I hate returning products so I decided that 30 days couldnt do anymore harm.
It worked, decreased bathroom visits and regained energy. I hope this is an easy fix like it was for me.
