Reviews and Complaints
A in my book
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.

Credit card charge
I was charged $70 as well. I alerted my credit card company.
Fraudulent. They type in your account number manually!
Scam creation of an account and charges to my credit card!
I received a package from this company surprised to see that I never ordered the product. Then my credit card was charged $ 73.00 and the package even has my cell number.
Called them and asked them how they got a hold of my information, they had no answer and then i asked them to close my account with them, asked for a reference number could not give me one.
I asked them how to return the product so I can trace the sender, they said throw away the product. they offered a return shipping label sent to my email but I refused to give them my email address.
I told them to send the return label to FedEx local location refused to do that too.
Fraudulant charges
Had 2 charges on my CC that I did not make. Called the company & as the other customer stated she wanted my full credit card number and other personal info that I was uncomfortable giving her.
She found the charges and ask if I knew anyone named Beverly Lewis & I told her know but she wouldn't give any other information about who this was. She stated that she would refund the amounts but then said that she could not get the refund to go thru but that she would get her supervisor to handle it and promised the refund would be refunded to my card. I immediately called the bank and reported the fraudulent charges & they have issued me a new card. I then looked for more info on this company and have found several others with the same type of problem.
Do not allow this company to get you too. Report Immediately if you see their name on you CC & didn't authorize it.

AVO*Advocare - Fraudulent Charges
I had two charges on my credit card from Advocare followed by a credit that didn't add up to the total of the charges. I didn't order anything and it wasn't my charge.
When I called Advocare they said they needed my credit card number to see what happened, but I wasn't going to give that out. They couldn't match the charges to my name and wouldn't do anything unless I gave them my cc info. So I called my CC and cancelled the card.
This is a fraudulent company. What a scam to make multiple false charges and then a credit so it looks like it's been removed - but when you add them up and the credit is for less than the original charges - a sneaky way to make some money.
Charge on my credit card I did not authorize.
I looked at my statement and saw a charge from Advocare Intl. for 70.00
This charge was not made by me.
I called the company and I was told there was an order made in my name and address. I have seen many people have had this happen to them by this company. I alerted my bank who immediately canceled my credit card, and are going to start an investigation into this matter. I also sent an e-mail to the Attorney General here in Florida
Pam Bondi.
I suggest anyone else who has had a fraudulent charge with this company do the same. If there are a number of complaints with the same person/company, the Attorney General of your state will investigate.
Credit card fraud
On January 23 I saw that a company called Advocare in Texas had charged my check card account two charges for almost $200 that day, but I had never even heard of them, let alone bought their product! I had to call my card company to report the fraud and get a new card.
A few other people I found in a google search had similar issues with this company. If they are a real company, this is extremely unprofessional and dishonest. I'm not sure if I would ever buy from them if there's a risk they could use my checking account like a pile of free money.
If I hadn't checked my statement, I wouldn't have noticed until my rent check bounced. If Advocare is reading this, please know that either you have dishonest employees or someone has stolen your company's information for this scam.
I Feel Fabulous!
I am on Day #9 of the 24-Day Jumpstart - and I have nothing but good things to say. I replaced 1/2 gallon of regular soda with 2 Sparks a day.
No headaches! I have followed the healthy eating guides about 85% of the time so far, and I'm down roughly 8 pounds. No fried foods, no white carbs, no soda, no alcohol, no red meat, and limiting dairy. I couldn't be more pleased with AdvoCare and highly recommend it to others.
I am looking forward to finishing the 24-Day Jumpstart strong. DO - Use the journal to track your intake and progress, drink your water, pay attention to what you are eating, and take your supplements.
Find a buddy or lean on your distributor for encouragement & support. DON'T - let the negativity of others dull your spark!

Tried 24 day challenge
I ordered the 24 day challenge. First day on cleanse i felt tired but after that i was fine.
I was using the bathroom in normal intervals. During the cleanse phase i lost 5 lbs and during max phase i lost another 5 but gained muscle and lost a few inches. It helped me completely change my life.
My kids and i eat healthy i take my vitamins and i have the energy i need to work a full time job take care of my kids and work a home business. I LOVE advocare and am so grateful to my distributor for all her help with making a workout plan meal prepping and never pushing me to order more then i want.
Fraud?
I received a charge to my credit card of around $200 at the beginning of the year. Not recognizing it, I immediately called AdvoCare.
I had never dealt with them after I looked over their products on their website. They admitted that it was a fraudulent charge and said they would issue a credit. A month later, still no credit. I called again.
They had no record of my earlier call, but after insisting that they "look harder" they did and said a credit had been authorized, but would take a week to 10 days (?) to go through.
Still no credit received another month later. I think this company was behind the fraudulent charge in the first place so beware of giving them your credit card number.

Verified ReviewerAbsolute CRAP-No Pun Intended
These products are garbage. Week one, I ended up in an autoimmune flare like never before....felt like worst flu ever.
I began having terrible abdominal pain, bloody diarrhea that changed to straight mucus-like bile. I went to my MD who said this stuff is KNOWN to cause these and many more terrible things including liver failure!!! My liver enzymes were drawn and were much higher than normal. The thing that makes me the most pissed is that my distributor told me these were good things because it meant my body was "cleansing of toxins".
What kind of BS is that?? They do not even know what they are saying and it is risking peoples health!

Don't Buy It Its a Scam
I tried the 24 day challenge for the second time in 4 years as t had worked for me in the past. This time I signed up as a preferred customer as I thought the discount would help me meet in purchasing more products.
I was please with the results of my products and my initial dealings with the distributor. As I continued I was encourage to buy more to get to my next discount level. However it was never explained to me that there were pay periods and your dollar amount would reset to zero if you didn't purchase $500 within 3 months. Of course it was in very small print but they never chose to educate the consumer.
What a shame. I was then encouraged to call customer service to resolve my issue because my distributor told me they're amazing !!!!
What a crock when I called they did absolutely nothing to resolve my issue. DO NOT I REPEAT FALL INTO THIS SCAM

Just finished cleanse and very pleased with product results!
I, too, like how the vitamins are pre-packaged - that is extremely helpful. And the one time I had to call there, they were pretty ice and helpful.
I wish I had the other great experience you had though. That's great for you!
