Having diarrhea doesn’t equal ‘detoxing.’Īrbonne has a new line of nutrition products called FeelFit (the FeelFit branding used to be ‘Arbonne Essentials’). Why are we still believing all of this detox garbage? Has it not been debunked enough times? Our bodies do the detoxing on their own, and if you buy this product, consider yourself warned: it’s a waste of money. I’m going to say this one more time for all of you in the back: The Arbonne CleanTox Herbal Tea is a dumpster fire of laxative BS (aloe vera) that Arbonne claims ‘assists with gentle elimination of toxins.’ ( Do you need a probiotic? Read my post here) Does the product contain enough bacteria to have any effect on whatever you’re taking it for?.Are the bacteria in a form that can pass through the acidic environment of the stomach and still be alive?.And with probiotics, it’s aways important to consider two things: I do like chicory root for its prebiotic inulin, but it may cause gastrointestinal effects in some people.Īs for Bacillus coagulans, it may be efficacious in helping people with IBS, but overall, most of us don’t really need a probiotic unless we’re treating something specific. This is around 1/2 of the caffeine you’d get in one cup of coffee.Īrbonne GutHealth Digestion is a bunch of digestive enzymes (which are probably useless for most people) and some pre and probiotics (chicory root and bacillus coagulans 30B). The Fizz Sticks also contain guarana and green coffee bean, providing 55mg of caffeine. They contain 50mg CoEnzyme Q10 and 100mg ginseng – neither of which have been reliably proven by research to do much for energy levels. Walk into a Walgreens and buy much the same thing, probably for less money. Sure, they’re vegan and contain 20 grams of protein each.
You’re supposed to have a protein shake with your meal? Isn’t that a bit redundant? The company recommends them twice a day (so we’re talking around $150 a month) ’with food,’ whatever that means. For $189 (a $210 value!), you get 30 days worth of protein shakes, Energy Fizz Ginseng Fizz Sticks (why are fizz sticks such an MLM thing), GutHealth Digestion and Microbiome Support, and of course, a box of CleanTox Herbal Tea.ĭoes a nutrition MLM even exist if it doesn’t have a detox tea or a fat burner?Īrbonne protein shakes are $75 for 30 servings, and made with pea protein. We’ll start with the Arbonne Healthy Habits pack. Speaking of which, let’s get going on the Arbonne diet products. But this goes to show you that these MLMs love to shape-shift into the latest trends, whether that’s the vernacular being used by teens, or the latest diets. ‘On The Gram’ sounds like my 13 year old daughter making fun of people who use that very language.
Read it here.Īrbonne has a huge social media presence because of their salespeople and coaches, and I just want to mention, because I think it’s annoying, that the Arbonne website has a heading called ‘on the gram’ to showcase its Instagram posts.
I ended up writing a post on it, debunking her points one by one. They do most of the work, working hard to scrape together sales for their upline, because MLM.Īn Arbonne coach recently sent me an email defending the company and her involvement. I know they’re under pressure to sell product, because they’re the backbone of the company. The flip-side of the coin is pretty much always a mishmash of garbage science, high-pressure sales tactics, diet culture language, and a bait and switch about how wonderful your life will be if only you buy into the company’s narrative.Īside from the products, I’ve also recently discovered some not-so-flattering sales tactics by the Arbonne salespeople. I’ve been on Arbonne’s ass for a really long time, because just like all the other nutrition MLMs I’ve investigated, they talk a lot about things like sustainability, purity of ingredients, and how life-changing their products are. Its offerings range from beauty products like creams and makeup to nutrition products and weight loss programs. I figured it was time for a 2021 Arbonne review to showcase everything the company has come out with since I wrote about it last.įor the uninitiated, Arbonne is a company that has been around since 1980. That one is still one of the most popular diet reviews on my site!īut Arbonne (and other MLMs) doesn’t just sit back and rest – they’re constantly coming out with new products to sell. Its been a while since I did an Arbonne review, my last being my Arbonne 30 Days to Healthy review.
