We’ve put together the following comprehensive guide to nutritional cleansing with Isagenix, including what to eat on cleanse days, what to eat on shake days, and frequently asked questions.

 

The Science Behind Isagenix Products

Isagenix’s scientifically formulated shakes and supplements are designed to support nutritional cleansing, a form of intermittent fasting, with targeted nutrients.

Intermittent fasting has a growing body of research behind it, suggesting benefits such as weight loss, weight management, and general health support.

 

What Is A Shake Day?

The Isagenix 30-Day System involves five shake days and two cleanse days each week. Shake days consist of replacing two meals with an Isagenix IsaLean Shake and consuming one regular, nutrient-dense meal (between 400 to 600 calories).

IsaLean meal replacement shakes contain a unique blend of high-quality whey and casein protein, vitamins, minerals, and enzymes.

 

What Is A Cleanse Day?

Instead of shakes and meals, Isagenix Cleanse days involve consuming four servings of Isagenix Cleanse for Life along with a small amount of Isagenix-approved snacks and suggested fruits.

 

How Does Cleanse For Life Work?

Cleanse For Life, the star of Isagenix Cleanse Days, does not rely on shortcuts, laxatives, or diuretics to provide results. Rather, Cleanse for Life® supports the liver as it undergoes natural detoxification processes, helping the body to remove impurities and fight against oxidative stress.

Cleanse For Life features a proprietary blend of herbs, B vitamins, and aloe vera to help support the body’s natural detoxifications processes.
