I offered to chat with a neighbor (who struggles with her weight and soreness from inflammation) about Advocare a few weeks ago. Her response "Oh I already get shakes from So and So and those are fine. All those things are the same anyway" made me literally scream out of frustration. So this post is to explain just a bit what Advocare really is and why it is so different.
Advocare is owned by a family trust and was started by a man named Charlie Ragus. He wanted people to be able to buy the best nutritional supplements possible through a knowledgeable coach who would be a caring advocate for each of their customers. Charlie Ragus assembled the top minds in the medical and scientific world to serve on the Advocare Scientific Medical Board. These experts serve on the board without being employed by Advocare so it is an independent board. The experts on this board are world renowned in their fields and our products have to be world class if these people are going to be associated with it. Learn more about the Sci-Med Board When Charlie Ragus started the company, he had 7 Guiding Principals for the company which are still being used 21 years later. Those of you who know me, will know that I was hooked when I read number one was: Honor God through our faith, family and friends.
One of the main goals of Advocare is to help people look and perform their best and in my opinion, they definitely succeed at that. That is a goal for the Olympic, professional, college, and high school athletes taking the performance products but it's also the goal for my 82 year old father who loves that the arthritic knees and shoulder feel better than they have in years. I love being able to provide a way for my family and friends to feel better. The quality of the products is so high and pure that the athletes can take them without worrying about failing a drug test. One of the US bobsledders who medaled multiple times in 2014 was tested 32 times during the Olympics and never worried about failing because he had complete confidence in his Advocare Supplements. My own athletes are nowhere near qualifying for the Olympics yet I know that the supplements they are taking are manufactured to the highest standards possible and are safe.
My daughter is in the final two weeks of the semester at college. I love that she is drinking Spark and an occasional Slam to help her get everything done. Instead of a bunch of sugar and ridiculous levels of caffeine, she is consuming a normal dose of caffeine, 21 vitamins, and amino acids. These products don't just help her stay awake but help with mental focus so that the time is more effective and at least in my mind, she is getting a little more sleep because she is able to focus more. Plus, she can help her friends get this mental focus and make a bit of spending money. Two wins for a college kid.
Dr. Oz is always promoting omega3's but then realized that many are rancid or poor quality so he arranged for an independent study to find an omega 3 supplement that he could recommend. The research company found they could confidently recommend just two out of the 24 tested. One of those was Advocare Omegaplex. Here is a link to the clip from Dr. Oz's show.

I could go on forever but the point was just to point out a few things about the company and products we really believe in. Feeling better, having more energy and making a bit of extra money while helping friends look, feel, and perform better is a blessing for us.
