Advocare Products?.....
The gym I just began working at sell advocare products and I have to say at 1stglance they seem very impressive BUT even I am hesistant to spend money on more supplements that I don't know if they work or not. Has anyone used any Advocare products before? Esp the LEAN, weight lossline?

Wow that last post was harsh...
I personally use Spark, Restore (Pro-Biotic), Joint Motion, and Nighttime Recovery. I swear by Advocare and I have used the MNS line, Advantin (which is called something else now they did new packaging) and some of the drinks and the like. Not only do they have a list of endorsers a mile long, none of their endorsers are PAID, not one. They are all the way from Bodybuilders to Olympic athletes that are tested for drugs religiously. The products are natural. If that is not enough, just search Bodybuiling.com and look at all of the people here that use them. Here's one:
http://www.bodybuilders.com/irobinson.htm
And I see quite a few others on here. But if you go to the company web-site you can actually download the endorsers list. It's impressive. These people have the money to buy WHATEVER supplement they want. And they use Advocare.
Ohh, and as for this other person that replied...Pyramids are ILLEGAL. I don't think professional athletes would be buying from that kind of company.

used advocare in the past...almost got caught up in the selling scheme as well...anywho some athletes do endorse pyramid scams such as Quixtar....that company is a spawn from satan and they have athletes endorsing their over priced over hyped double x line

Yea, some putz by me tried to get me to fall for the stuff, and Mona Vie. He tried hyping it up saying how i'll be so healthy in 20 yrs and he's a trainer for the past 20 yrs..and blah blah. Then he told me almost all supplements out there dont work. I felt like telling him to go blow it out his hole.

They are great products, some of which were designed for the US olympic wrestling team by Advocare so I would have to disagree.
I use them and have had great results...But hey thats just me.

My husband and I both use Advocare. He fights professionally and I'm currently training to compete in figure. I use Spark, Catalyst, Omegaplex, Coreplex, and joint promotion occassionally when my knee bothers me. I love the products and it's the only thing that keeps ms going in the gym. My husband is also a personal trainer and in combination with his workouts he has gotten excellent results with his clients. In fact, one loved how much she changed that she became a personal trainer and has kept her weight off.

Here?s a link to some of or endorsers.
