Advocare Review

What You Should Know

Advocare is actually a manufacturer of multiple “health and wellness” related products. To-date, they claim to have over 70 separate products for sale, including herbal diet supplements and multi-vitamins. Advocare also produce a popular line of skin care products as well. Advocare’s founding principle seems to be the use of only high-quality ingredients in all products. The primary five product categories that Advocare currently produces are: Trim (weight loss), Well (healthy nutrition), Definite Difference (skincare science), Active (energy supplement) and Performance Elite (seems to be nutrition supplements specifically for athletes.) Of course, for the purposes of our website, we will focus primarily on Advocare’s Trim line of supplements.

Advocare’s Trim products are the ones that have been specifically formulated to aid with weight loss. The Trim line consists of ten products. These include Fibo-Trim fiber supplements, ThermoPlus energy booster, Meal Replacement Shake, Max Appetite Control appetite suppressant and Max Energy energy booster. The typical Advocare product seems to retail for between $30-$40, depending on the product. We couldn’t find anything about free trials or a money-back guarantee offered by Advocare, which surprised us considering that they are such a large and well-known company within the health care industry.

Ingredients

Could not find ingredients for any products, but obviously they will vary depending on which Advocare supplement you are looking at.

Product Features

Advocare is a relatively well-known health supplement manufacturer that produces everything from weight loss aids to skin health aids. Within their Trim weight loss line, they have appetite suppressants, energy boosters and metabolism boosters, among many other products. It appears that one main active ingredient used by Advocare is Chitosan, which is a shellfish derivative that some individuals may be allergic to. All of Advocare’s products are available via the manufacturer’s website, which is convenient. Part of Advocare’s business model also involves having customers become distributors, similar to Avon’s famous retail structure.

Advantages

  • Advocare has a 1-800 number of questions and complaints.
  • All of this manufacturer’s products are available for order from the official website.

Disadvantages

  • There is no full list of ingredients for any product, only active ingredients are listed.
  • Some products include Chitosan, which is not suitable for any dieters with shellfish allergies.
  • There is no money-back guarantee and Advocare’s return policies are not clear.
  • Not all individuals may be comfortable with Advocare’s big push to turn users into distributors.

Conclusion

Advocare is an interesting product retailer. While we like the idea of a company incorporating lots of research and experience to produce different health and wellness products, it almost seems like Advocare is just looking to increase their sales network by offering lots of choices. If your friend is trying to sell you a bottle and absolutely raving about it, it could be worth a try, but it seems to us that there are other, better researched products out there with superior customer service policies.

Top Choice for 2009: Avesil

Avesil is clearly the most promising weight control formula we know of on the market. After looking at hundreds of different purported weight loss supplements, Avesil was the most rigorously researched one that we could find. The foundation behind the Avesil formula was an original scientific research study that incorporated an incredible 284 previously published peer-reviewed clinical studies, many conducted in university research labs. All of the product claims made about Avesil are substantiated by this large volume of research.

Unlike many fad weight loss ingredients (hoodia, acai berry, etc.) which are at best supported by folklore and at worst by pop culture, Avesil is totally rooted in disciplined scientific study. In fact, two research trials conducted on human subjects, later published in highly respected scientific journals, concluded that the primary ingredients in Avesil resulted in an average weight loss of more than 3 times that of a healthy diet and exercise alone.

Customers will notice that the claims made about Avesil are quite reasonable and not the least far-fetched. Simply put, Avesil is a safe, healthy way to promote a significant increase in weight loss when taken in conjunction with a healthy diet and exercise. In today's market there is a shamefully high number of consumers who have been deceived by outrageous "no work" promises, manufactured customer testimonials and bogus before/after pictures used by so many marketers of weight loss supplements. Avesil promises to deliver healthy, reasonable, and significant weight loss benefits - all offered through the process of a risk-free trial, leaving customers with very little to lose (other than weight).
