Advocare - Seeking info re Advocare

I am preparing an article for a well-known national publication on Advocare, the health and wellness multi-level marketing company. If you would like to share your experiences -- positive or negative -- about the company's products and business strategy, please contact me at advocareinformation@gmail.com.

I am hoping to speak with current or former executives, distributors and retail customers, who can speak about the quality of Advocare's products, and the effectiveness of the company's stated mission to help people earn significant additional income and eliminate personal debt.

The information you share will be regarded as anonymous unless you express otherwise.

Thank you. 300f23d

JUST TO MAKE YOU AWARE IF YOU ARE READING THESE REVIEWS. I did not post the comment on June 6, 2012. Someone has made up an account just to steal my identity and posting negative information about me and Advocare, the company that I actually do believe in and use the products as well as I am an Independent Distributor who is helping people with lifestyle changes. I have even asked this site to remove all of the 3 postings that someone felt they needed to post to try to hurt me as well as interfere with the success that Advocare is having in our community of Denham Springs and Watson, LA.
THE REAL Karla Cormier who is proud to be an Independent Distributor of AdvoCare products. And for some reason, this shows that I am posting this from an area other than Denham Springs, LA...which also is another error!!! Do not trust this site!

Took it and had a such a bad allergic reaction I wound up in the hospital however my son takes it and loves it and is trying to sell the stuff. Would I ever take it again, No do I want to ditch it, no. My only advice is you see a doc before you do any herbal medication.

I am interested in the weight loss products. I have been reading up on the products and I am not sure which ones to use. I think I will start with the 24 day challenge butI am not sure what to take after that. Please let me know what you are taking to continue the weight loss journey after the 24 day challenge.

AdvoCare donated $500K to the Drew Brees Foundation. This is after he declined a $5M sponsorship from Gatorade.

Did the 24 day challenge in January 2012 and lost 16 lbs. Ate plenty of fruits, veggies and lean protiens. Have stayed on the products and lost 55 lbs since January. The products work and the oirganization is awesome. I have not begun the business side of Advocare but I know several who have and are making money. Advocare has many products, not just weight loss. Spark energy drink my be the best product ever invented!

I am a fitness trainer and I was already in great shape when I was approached to sell Advocare products. I became an Advocare distributor for the money. It's a business to me. At first it bothered me that I was misleading people into thinking that I got my results using their products. Now I don't really care. There are always going to be people that want to throw their money away on the hope they will get results. I am more than willing to be the one that takes their cash. Does that make me a bad person? I know the Advocare products are not that great or at best just as good as the proucts you can buy cheaper elsewhere. I really don't care as long as I make the sale.

you should be ashamed of your self because you go against everything that Advocare is built on. Integrity, Respect and putting God above everything else, helping others achieve thier goals. You are only out for yourself and with that attitude you are surely to FAIL!!!!!

Facts:
1. Lost 70 lbs in 5 months
2. Kept it off over a year so far.
3. Eat 5 times a day - Fruit, veggies, GOOD food.
4. Off Blood Pressure meds now.
5. More energy than I have had in years (I'm 51)
6. Was/is the "Catalyst" to change my lifestyle.

7. Making any money is secondary to the Health Benefits, the product sells itself. Friends say, "how did you do it?" and if they are serious, they will do it too. period.

8. All endorsers are unpaid - period. That means they USE the products. Pay attention next time you see lockerroom shots on sporting events...I get free products too, because people buy them through me and that pays for most of what I use.

9. "Who's Who" Medical Board

10. ANYONE who has not benefitted by taking these products didn't follow through - take all of the Spark and Catalyst you want, if you're still eating a pizza and a bag of chips in front of the tv every night... nothing changes. Sorry, folks, but in this remote controlled, instant on, download now, drive thru society we live in - there is no Magic Pill.

11. Advocare isn't just about losing weight and anyone who has DONE THEIR HOMEWORK with Advocare knows that.They also know about the extensive research and testing,the top in their field medical professionals involved - it's pretty easy to "Parrot what other reps feed you" when what other reps feed you is factual, documented...

Wendy- 24 brands??? And popular brands at that, if thats not enough to say that the product was superior to the others then I dont know how many trials need to be ran but thats a pretty good experiment. Brees does not get paid he gets supplies/supplements there is a difference plus if he wanted to take a different supplement I am sure he could afford it as money is not a reason for him to choose Advocare over the other competitors. I bet you havent tried the products either?? You have no experience with the company to say if it has benefitted you in a healthy way. You are just another person in the ear of others that are intrested in the potential gains that they could get from the products. I take everything they produce now. Not even a business builder just a very faithful customer as their line has helped me lose weight, lower body fat% and also increased my energy level to a new level that I have never been able to achieve with other products. And I have tried plenty of lines because I am a certified nutritionist and as others will continue to tell you that its all about the PURE UNPROCESSED FOODS....FALSE!!! As pure unprocessed foods are definately great for you, there is a very small chance that anyone has the time to consume the real nutritional needs that a body relies on for muscle gain, weight loss and increased energy all in one day. Supplementation is so important to really peak out on your needs each day.

Dear MDM,
You are absolutely correct with your comment of, "you don't get sick by putting good nutrition in your body". Which is why you should never use Advocare and instead opt for whole, unprocessed, foods.
Advocare uses inferior, man made, processed ingredients. Exactly the things everyone needs to completely avoid.

At 5'5" and 125 lbs. she should of never been sold a weight loss program. She was already at a normal healthy weight and her taking this and losing so much weight would absolutly make her severly ill. I hope that she is better soon but realizes she doesn't need to lose any weight.

You amaze me!

Did you look at Drew Brees website? I gave you the link. On that web page is every company that PAYS Drew to endorse their products. How can you argue that fact???
Did you watch the Dr. Oz cip? I did. Either you didn't or your comprehension skills are severely lacking.
If you pay attention to the Dr. Oz clip you’ll find these facts:
Fact; Dr. Oz NEVER ONCE mentioned Advocare, Omni-plex or any other Advocare product.
Fact: Consumer Lab, his guest on the show, only tested 24 brands of omega-3s
Fact: Consumer Lab ONLY tested for freshness and that the product contained the amount of omega-3 that the label claimed.
Fact; 70% of the products tested PASSED their tests! Not just the two mentioned on the show by Consumer Lab.
Is that an endorsement for Advocare? Not even close!
