A leader from one of our other groups had posted this outline in efforts to help others understand the differences between the Isagenix IsaLean Shakes and others on the market. I thought members of this community may appreciate the info as well
Not in any order:

1. Shakeology: Processed Whey Protein (Isolate), Contains Suma Root which contains Ecdysterone (a banned substance for athletes)…… Also an Intestional Irritant.

2. Herbalife: Soy Protein (Isolate) it is a row crop, not organic! Protein is acid washed with heat, (Denatured) to help make it less toxic, and only 9 grams of protein.(Also the cheapest of all the shakes to make)

3. Advocare: 1st ingredient is Maltodextrin, (it is a man made sugar that is chemically derived from starch and is used in a number of different foods and sweeteners. Side effects can include anything from, chest pain, heart palpitations, high cholesterol, hypoglycemia, or excess fat if the calories from the sugar is not burned off).Soy Protein and Fructose are the next 2 ingredients! Also has GMO’s (Genetically Modified Organisms)……

4. Body By Vi: Soy Protein, a row crop product and loaded with toxins, GMO”s and sweetened with Sucralose, (The majority of ingested sucralose is not broken down by the body and shown to reduce the amount of GOOD bacteria in the intestines by as much as 50%. Maltodextrin derived from GMO starch, whey protein isolates Only 10 Grams of poor Protein, not a meal replacement and in addition is has to be mixed with milk.
Think about what you put in your body. If it is not all natural, 100% chemical free and contains no artificial anything. You should not be putting it into your body!

Isagenix: Undenatured Grade 7 Whey Protein. No unnatural products. Complete nutrition for a meal replacement. 240 calories prepared.

NO SOY, NO GMO’s, NO SUCRALOSE, our maltodextrin adds nutritive value to the product and is sourced from organic tapioca. this is radically different than other maltodextrin.

13. Youngevity Slender FX -only 105 calories so not a meal replacement, use soy and whey proteins, no source given for whey, so probably low grade from U.S., low carbs, Sweetened with Steviol (stevia)

14. The Shaklee 180 Energizing Smoothies- Their protein blend contains soy protein concentrate and soy protein isolate. Rules them out immediately. It’s not a true meal replacement by itself. They suggest mixing it with milk to bring calories up for replacing meals. Cost is $2.72 per serving yielding 16g of protein.

15. The Physique Shake- Their protein blend contains Milk and Whey protein isolate, both of which are denatured. Rules them out yet again. It’s a protein supplement, not meal replacement. Cost is $2.22 per serving yielding 14g of protein.

16. Syntrax Nectar Protein: only 100 calories so it can’t be a meal replacementcontains soy protein along with whey proteincontains Sucralose is an artificial sweetenercontains Hydrolyzed wheat which is really just another way of saying MSG

17. Arbonne shakes are to low in calories (160) and very low in nutrition, most only having 15% of the RDA (a few as high as 20%). Very high in sodium at 480 mg.
