Isagenix products overview
Isagenix offers over 100 individual nutritional products, wellness systems, and skin care products. We will go over several of them focusing on those that are most “Isagenix-specific” and unique.
– 9 Day System
Isagenix famous 9 Day System (also known as 9 Day Cleansing and Fat Burning System or 9 Day Cleanse) was the first one of the Isagenix wellness systems. It appeared on the market in 2002 and created a splash in the weight loss industry. The system was easy to follow and produced fast and visual body transformations.
Early Isagenix followers created Weight Loss Hall of Fame – an online collection of pictures and stories about the results they achieved. Isagenix does not currently use these materials for promoting it’s products but it is still interesting to look at all the before and after pictures and read the stories.
The picture below is probably one of the most famous in the Isagenix Weight Loss Hall of Fame. Peter, who is posing on the three photos, and his wife Carol were considering joining Isagenix as independent associates at the time when the company just has been formed. They wanted to be sure that the products produce great results, so Peter decided to test the 9 Day System himself before offering it to someone else.
Peter did two 9 Day programs back to back. The second picture shows him after the first program and and the third picture was taken right after after he completed both 9 Day programs. The whole transformation took less than a month!
We’ve personally met Peter and Carol many years after these pictures were taken. Peter still looked great. He did not put any of the weight back, and he and Carol were still in love with Isagenix products.
Here we have to ask you to keep in mind that each person is unique, and not to take Peter’s picture as a guarantee that you will get the same results in the same time frame.
– 30 Day System
Isagenix 30 Day Cleansing and Fat Burning System (now called simply 30 Day System) was created several years later. It included some additional products that enhanced the experience on the program. It also addressed the issue of weight maintenance and habit forming. While it was not recommended to do more than two 9 day programs back to back, 30 Day program removed this limitation. Now those who aimed to lose could significant amounts of unhealthy fat could stay on the program until their goals were achieved.
When the first few people lost 100 pounds they were referred to as Isagenix 100 Pound Club. The number of 100 Pound Club members grew. Soon 200 Pound Club and later 300 Pound Club were formed. You can find these inspiring stories in Isagenix 100/200/300 Pounds Club” video below:
30 Day System is now the most popular Isagenix program. Those who are looking for a faster body transformation or for a deeper cleanse can still follow a 9 Day Cleanse protocol within the 30 Day System and use the rest of the products to stabilize the results. Those who have achieved their weight goals can use a version of 30 Day System to maintain the ideal weight.
– Isagenix Shakes
Isagenix Shake (IsaLean Shake) – an important component of both 9 Day and 30 Day Systems – quickly became a very popular product on its own. It is a complete low-glycemic meal replacement with 24 grams of quality protein, good fats, natural carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, and enzymes.
The undenatured whey protein in Isagenix shakes is sourced from milk of cows that are pasture raised without routine antibiotics or hormones.
Over the years Isagenix put a lot of efforts into developing the unique ice cream-like taste of the shakes. There have been at least three significant taste adjustment since 2002. The final all-natural flavouring system of the Isagenix shakes has been created by a European trained gourmet chef and medical doctor – an expert flavour specialist from France.
Initially available only in chocolate and vanilla the shakes now come in more flavours. Isagenix also has a kosher shake and also a couple of vegan shake versions based on pea and rice protein.
Isagenix Shake is probably the most “addictive” (in a good way) Isagenix product. Many health-conscious people with busy lifestyles appreciate a daily shake as a delicious and nutritious breakfast that takes less than a couple of minutes to prepare.
