Top 25 Questions About Isagenix and Nutritional Cleansing

Q. I take a prescription medication. Do I need to check with my doctor before starting Isagenix? After all, it%u2019s just food and supplements!
A. Anyone taking medication and/or under the care of a medical doctor for any medical condition should check with his/her doctor before starting Isagenix or any other nutritional program. Just bring the ingredients of all the products you plan to take to your doctor. Tell the doctor you are about to start a low-calorie healthy eating program and that it involves periodic fasting and incorporates some nutritional supplements. Ask him or her to make sure all the ingredients are okay for your health situation. And then state that you would like him or her to monitor your results. The reason this is important is that sometimes medications need to be adjusted as a result of your increasing health, and only your doctor can do that.

Q. I have diabetes. Can I still use your shakes and can I still perform Deep Cleansing days in my Isagenix program?
A. We have many people with diabetes who are very successful at improving their health with our various systems. It is very important that you have your doctor monitor your blood sugar levels and medication. For some people with diabetes, daily cleansing is more appropriate than deep cleansing, and for some, half an IsaLean Shake at a time may work better than a whole shake at once. However, many people with diabetes have had great results with deep cleansing programs, and most do fine with full shakes or half shakes with added IsaPro.
Q. I am pregnant or breast feeding. Can I use Isagenix for weight loss?
A. Pregnancy and/or lactation are not the time to focus on weight loss. You%u2019ll need calories to gain healthy amounts of weight for your baby, so it is not the time to cut down. You may incorporate IsaLean Shake, Bars, Soups, FiberSnacks!, and SlimCakes; however, these should not be used to replace meals. The IsaFruits, IsaPro, IsaCrunch, FiberPro, and Want More Energy? can also be great additions to your diet. At the same time, you should of course be %u201Ccleaning up%u201D what you eat%u2014avoiding excess sugar, fatty foods, etc. Cleanse for Life is not appropriate for pregnant or lactating women, nor are the following products: Ionix Supreme, Natural Accelerator, or IsaFlush!. What you ingest goes right to your baby, and some of the botanicals used in these products have just not been studied well enough in pregnant or breastfeeding women. Finally, you should be aware that our Essentials for Women is not a substitute for a prenatal multivitamin. Once you have weaned your baby, it will be a perfect time to begin an Isagenix program.
Q. I am vegetarian. How do I know which of your products are suitable for me?
A. Isagenix has a table listing what products are suitable for strict vegetarians and lacto-vegetarians. The lists are actually part of the Isagenix Allergens Table.
Q. I am gluten-intolerant. Which Isagenix products do I need to avoid?
A. The most important product to avoid is the SlimCakes. Isagenix Greens also contains wheat grass and barley grass; if you have a strong gluten intolerance or Celiac disease, you should avoid Isagenix Greens, but many people with less gluten sensitivity have no trouble with Isagenix Greens. All of the other Isagenix products are completely gluten free.
Q. Can children or teenagers use the Isagenix products?
A. Yes; many, but not all, of the Isagenix products are appropriate for children and teenagers. Isagenix has a table showing which products are appropriate for which age groups. You can find out which products are appropriate for what age group here.
Q. I have a food allergy. How do I know which of your products are safe for me?
A. Many of the common allergens are found on the Isagenix Allergens Table. For allergens not listed, we suggest you go to the Isagenix Product Catalog; all product ingredients are listed in an appendix at the back of the catalog.
