As you explore Isagenix products, you may notice some contain small, controlled amounts of sugar from natural sources such as molasses, honey, or coconut sugar.
During Sugar Awareness Week (Nov. 17-23), themed “Cut Through the Sweet Talk: What You See Isn’t What You Eat,” we’re highlighting the importance of understanding sugar intake. Excessive sugar intake can lead to obesity, tooth decay, type 2 diabetes, and more.
At Isagenix, the small amount of natural sugar in our products is intentional and expertly balanced within nutrient-rich formulations. Here are a few facts to put your mind at ease:
Small amounts of sugar are not harmful to you
Sugar is a natural element of a healthy diet. Many foods, like fruits and veggies, contain natural sugars, and in fact, multiple parts of your body use sugar for fuel. The key to sugar consumption is control, as excessive sugar consumption can increase the risk of health problems and make it harder to maintain a nutrient-rich and satiating diet. But you’re in luck! Meal-replacement products and protein products like IsaLean® Protein Shake only contain around 10 grams of sugar — the same as eating an apple! They also contain 24 grams of premium protein to ensure you’re still meeting your balanced diet goals.
Isagenix only uses natural sources of sugar — no artificial sweeteners
Isagenix intentionally avoids artificial sweeteners and harmful additives, such as high-fructose corn syrup. These non-nutritive sweeteners are often worse for your health, as they are linked to increased weight gain and higher risks of cardiovascular issues.
The key difference? Artificial sweeteners offer zero nutritional value. Unlike the natural sugars found in products like IsaLean® Protein Bars, artificial options provide sweetness without any fuel for your body. This critical distinction directly impacts your overall wellness and waistline.
Natural sugar has a necessary place in energy products
A little sugar in products like e+TM, Hydrate, and AMPED™ Nitro is necessary to provide quick and sustained energy for your body, especially during intense physical activity and mental performance.
Controlled sugar levels are used instead of artificial sweeteners to help maintain muscle glycogen stores during exercise. Paired with natural caffeine, this small amount of sugar provides fast and sustained energy for all your daily needs.
Sugar has no place in nutritional products
While sugar may seem like it doesn’t belong in your diet, as previously mentioned, small amounts of sugar are normal for your body and not harmful. In nutrient-rich products, like Cleanse for Life®, sugar is balanced with protein and fiber to ensure slow absorption. This prevents sudden blood sugar spikes and energy crashes, promoting stable, sustained energy.
So, should you be worried about sugar in Isagenix products? There really is no reason to, as we ensure it’s used in controlled and purposeful ways.
Most people who use Isagenix products actually reduce their sugar intake, primarily through complete Isagenix systems like the 30-Day Reset. Natural sugars in Isagenix products provide quick fuel, long-lasting energy, and help brain function — plus they add a little extra flavor to some of our most well-loved products, too!
