Healthy Gut. Slimmer You. Those words are used to describe Plexus Slim, a very popular weight loss and blood sugar lowering supplement. It's been several years since I first reviewed Plexus Slim (The Pink Drink). In that time, the ingredients have changed a bit. In this Plexus Slim review, I'll compare the ingredients in the original formula to what it contains now and also review the science on its ingredients. Along the way, I'll decipher its key ingredients, and try to shed light on side effects too. I don't work for any supplement company so this is not an Ambassador review. Let's see if Plexus Slim is right for you. For additional info, see the original plexus Slim review and the reviews of Plexus Accelerator Plus, Plexus Boost and Plexus ProBio5 Joyome anti-wrinkle cream and Plexus Hunger Control
Plexus Slim Benefits
The Plexus website states the supplement works by providing the following benefits:
- Clinically demonstrated to help you lose weight*
- Promotes the growth of good gut microbes◊*
- Increases Lactobacillus by 365 times and Bifidobacterium by 290 times – contributing to overall health◊*
- Increases the metabolism-enhancing Akkermansia microbes by 250 times◊*
- Supports healthy glucose metabolism*
- Clinically studied XOS prebiotic
- Patent-pending formula
These are pretty interesting benefits but the * and ◊ next to some of the claims direct our attention to the bottom of the page where it says
- *“These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.”
- ♢ “The results of an in vitro human gut simulator study suggest that Slim’s formula may have several beneficial effects. Further research, including research conducted in humans, is needed to confirm these preliminary findings.” Basically, they are saying there's no human evidence for these claims.
What's Different In The New Formula
Let's now compare the original Plexus formula (from 2013) to the current ingredients:
| Plexus Slim Original Ingredients | Plexus Slim Current Ingredients |
| Chlorogenic acid | Chromium |
| Citrin K | Xylooligosaccharide |
| Alpha-lipoic acid | Green coffee bean extract |
| Oxypregnane steroidal glycoside | Garcinia Cambogia |
| Chromium (amino nicotinate GTF) | Alpha-lipoic acid |
| Mulberry fruit extract |
Comparing the original ingredients old and current ingredients, we see a few differences
1. Chromium has moved positions. It used to be the last ingredient in the proprietary blend. It appears at the very top of the ingredients list.
This may mean the new Plexus Slim formula has more chromium than it originally had. They also now tell us how much chromium Plexus Slim contains (200 micrograms). See the review of chromium and weight loss.
2. Both the old and new formula contain chromium nicotinate. This is a complex of both chromium and niacin. Chromium is often touted for its ability to help reduce blood sugar levels and while there is some evidence of this, not all studies find it works. For example, in this 2013 study chromium nicotinate did not help people with type 2 diabetes.
3. The ingredient originally called “citrin K” is now called by its more familiar name, garcinia cambogia. See the Garcinia Cambogia review.
4. The current ingredients now contain Xylooligosaccharide, green coffee bean, and Mulberry fruit extract.
5. Grape skin extract used to be in Plexus but no longer. I'm not sure if this makes a significant difference or not in how effective Plexus Slim might be. I was told (unconfirmed reports) this was because people were having allergic reactions to this ingredient.
Summary: Changes To New Formula
- Chromium is the first ingredient listed
- We are told how much chromium is in the new formula
- Added: Xylooligosaccharide, green coffee bean, and Mulberry fruit extract
- Grape skin extract is removed
- Hoodia is removed from the formula
- Garcinia cambogia now called by its more familiar name
Question for Ambassadors: why were grape seed extract and hoodia removed from plexus slim?
Plexus Slim Research
Clinical research specifically on Plexus Slim cannot be located. Neither the Plexus website, National Library of Medicine or ClinicalTrials.gov reveal any clinical studies. Some Plexus Ambassadors may cite research but those studies do not appear to be peer reviewed in medical journals. As such, I discount as being less clinically relevant as we cannot see the entire study and how it was conducted.
Plexus Slim Ingredients
Let's now summarize the of research for the main ingredients in the Pink Drink and see what the science says.
Chromium
The chromium in Plexus chromium polynicotinate. This is basically a form of chromium thought to be better absorbed. Each packet provides 200 micrograms of this mineral. Chromium is probably in this supplement to help reduce blood sugar levels. This makes sense. But, when it comes to weight loss, chromium is a dud. The vast majority of studies since the 1990s show chromium does not work
See the Chromium weight loss review for the evidence.
Xylooligosaccharide
Xylooligosaccharide (also called XOS) is basically long chains of the xylose sugar stuck together. Xylose is often used as a prebiotic. Prebiotics are the food probiotic bacteria eat. Xylose may be used as a way to bolster production of Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium.
When it comes to gut health, the diversity of gut bacteria is important. the more different bacteria, the healthier experts say we are. Two ways to improve gut bacteria diversity is eating more fruits/vegetables and exercise.
Plexus Slim Blend (531 mg)
When it comes to Blends, companies do not have to tell us how much of each ingredient makes up the blend. But we know the first ingredient makes up the most of the blend, while the last ingredient listed makes up the least.
Each packet of plexus slim provides 531 mg of the following ingredients:
1. Green Coffee Bean Extract
Green coffee also goes by the name coffae robusta. Its active ingredient is often said to be an antioxidant called chlorogenic acid. The Plexus Slim label tells us each packet contains 50% chlorogenic acid. Green coffee is popular for weight loss but I remain skeptical.
The favorable research studies are small and there are not many of them. Also, the studies showing it works have used a supplement called Svetol which is not in Plexus Slim.
What makes green coffee controversial is one of the very best weight loss investigations was retracted after it was found to contain serious errors.
This is why green coffee remains a weight loss scam in my book until unbiased and well-designed studies are published.
2. Garcinia Cambogia
Garcinia cambogia, also known as hydroxy citric acid (HCA) is a popular weight loss supplement. When I did a deep dive into the garcina / weight loss research, I concluded it was at best a 50/50 shot at whether it worked or not. I saw just as many clinical studies showing it worked as didn't work.
Many of the studies though were small and had problems with how they were performed. As such, I don't believe anyone can say for sure if it's an effective weight loss aid.
And then there's the big controversy: Does garcinia cambogia cause liver failure? While I feel the risk is low, there is some evidence it might. While in many such reports, people were taking supplements containing many ingredients, we now have a report of liver failure in someone who only took garcinia cambogia. There is no reports of Plexus Slim causing liver problems or elevating liver enzymes.
See the Supplements and Liver Failure review.
3. Alpha Lipoic Acid
Plexus slim is touted to promote healthy glucose metabolism. Alapha lipoic acid is an ingredient which seems to do this. Multiple studies have shown Alpha Lipoic acid can improve the ability of insulin at reducing blood sugar levels. Amounts used in research are usually around 300 mg per day taken for several weeks. While we are not told how much alpha lipoic acid is in the Pink Drink, it's possible it may have close to this amount.
There is also some evidence alpha lipoic acid may help weight loss. Studies tend to use over 600-1000 mg. This is more than is in Plexus Slim.
Here's alpha lipoic acid on Amazon
4. Mulberry Fruit Extract
There are 2 types of mulberry – black and white. Plexus Slim uses white mulberry (Morus alba). Some evidence shows mulberry can reduce blood sugar levels in people with type II diabetes. Some studies use 1000 mg to 5000 mg a day to achieve this effect. Mulberry is also an antioxidant. Some evidence suggest it reduces free radical damage to insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas.
Because it's a food, mulberry likely has many active compounds which probably have multiple effects other than just blood sugar lowering.
Blood Sugar Lowering Ingredients
Here is a quick review of the ingredients in Plexus Slim which lower blood sugar
- Chromium
- Alpha-lipoic acid
- White mulberry
See above for specifics on each
Weight Loss Ingredients
Here's a quick review of the ingredients in Plexus Slim which might help weight loss
- Garcinia cambogia
Note. my own opinion is garcinia cambogia doesn't work but there are some studies saying I'm wrong. Im not listing green coffee bean until I see better quality studies on it.
What's The Key Ingredient
There is not just one active ingredient in Plexus Slim. Different ingredients do different things. Its worth noting many of the ingredients are likelly present because of their effects on lowering blood sugar levels. However, reduced blood sugar does not necessarily mean weight loss. When it comes to weight loss, I believe results will vary.
Where To Buy
So where can people buy Plexus Slim? Because the company has a multi-level marketing (MLM) component to it, it's sold in stores like Walmart, GNC, Vitamin Shoppe, Costco, Target, CVS, Walgreens, korger, Food Lion or RiteAid.
Rather, it can be purchased either from a Plexus Ambassador or directly from PlexusWorldWide.com, the official company website. When ordering Plexus the website, you first have to create an account. When you do, you don't have to provide information on the Plexus ambassador you heard about it from.
I'm not sure how I feel about that.
Because one does not have to provide details on ambassadors means the Plexus website is in competition with Plexus ambassadors for sales. To become a Plexus Ambassador, it costs $34.95 paid annually.
If you are using a Plexus ambassador, you can provide either their phone number or Plexus ID. If you do, then the ambassador will receive credit for your order – using an Ambassador does not add to the price of Plexus Slim.
Here Are There Supplements on Amazon

How Many Calories?
Each packet of Plexus Slim has 5 calories. This is an insignificant amount.
Plexus Slim And Gut Health
When Plexus Slim first came out, it was touted for weight loss. The idea of gut health is an evolution of not only the marketing but also the ingredients in the supplement. With the incorporation of the prebiotic, Xylooligosaccharide (XOS), the idea is now Plexus Slim is supposed to help weight loss by altering the composition of the microbiome (that is, better gut health).
While I'm sure XOS will alter the contents of the microbiome in some way, I don't know what effects this would lead to. Would it lead to better health? Would it mean weight loss would occur? I can't say although no clinical studies linking xylooligosaccharide to weight loss in humans could be located when this review was created.
While anything is possible, until Plexus-gut health studies are published, it's hard to know for sure what the benefits might be. It's worth remembering that eating fruits and veggies and exercise have been shown to improve gut health rather quickly.
Does It Have Caffeine?
Plexus Slim is probably pretty low in caffeine. The label says it has 2% natural caffeine. The caffeine probalby comes from the green coffee bean.
Is It Gluten Free?
Yes. Plexus Slim is gluten-free, vegan and non-GMO.
Is Plexus Slim FDA Approved?
The Food and Drug Administration does not approve supplements in the US. There is a law which regulates supplements (DSHEA) but it's often criticized for a number of reasons.
In 2014 PlexusWorldWide did receive a warning letter from the FDA over the language used to describe the benefits of their products Fast Relief ProBio 5 and BioCleanse. Basically the FDA believed the company made statements it should not have made. This sometimes happens with companies. When the FDA sees statements it disagrees with, it reaches out to companies and asks them to change their wording.
See the ProBio 5 Review for more on that supplement.
Plexus Slim Controversies
In 2013 the Australia government's Therapeutic Goods Administration (their FDA) noted Plexus Accelerator 3 day pack contained a banned ingredient called DMAA, which is a stimulant. See the Plexus Accelerator Plus review for more information.
In 2014, the Canadian government also called attention to DMAA as well.
DMAA is no longer found in Plexus supplements.
Is Plexus Doctor Recommended?
I've heard ambassadors say its recommended by medical doctors (MDs/ DOs) but I don't think I've ever encountered a physician who recommended it. That's not to say none do, but I've not met any. My original review has over 2400 testimonials and comments. I don't anyone leaving a comment was a doctor.
If you look at the comments there, you will see some nurses advocating Plexus. Some of them are also Ambassitors which some may say makes them biased. I won't make that call. I'll simply, say I prefer supplements with clinical evidence.
I can understand the challenges faced by doctors who try to get patients to lose weight and blood sugar. It's quite possible some may be OK with a patient trying Plexus Slim for a month or so to see what happens. I'm sure anything which motivates patients is welcomed.
I welcome any physician to leave a comment below about their experiences with this product (positive or not)
Plexus Ambassadors
Plexus Ambassitors (distributors) are those who sell Plexus supplements. These are often people who had a good experience and want to help others. Sometimes they may be people lured into the business with thoughts of making a lot of money.
An advantage going through an Ambassador is they may be able to offer personalized guidance with how to use the products. While I like this, Plexus Ambassadors may or may not have any nutrition background like college degrees or nutrition certifications. So, if you have a medical issue, the guidance you receive will often not be the same as from a doctor, pharmacist or dietitian.
If people have side effects, the solution is to not take another plexus supplement (or any supplement). The correct response -depending on the severity – is to stop taking the supplement and see if the symptoms improve. For very bad side effects, seeing a doctor is in order.
I bring this up not to slam Plexus Ambassitors but rather to help them better deal with side effects that people may bring up from time to time.
Plexus Slim Didn't Work
If you read the comments below, you'll notice some people saying the new Plexus formula does not work the same way as the old formula. Interestingly, when people report to their ambassadors that Plexus Slim didn't work for them, it appears some blame the person. I'm sure not all Ambassadors do this, but if the comments below are believed, some appear to.
I think that's the wrong way of doing this. I also believe its wrong to try to get people to experiment with another product like the Plexus probiotic supplement. (click to read review). That's my 2 cents. Take it for what it is.
Plexus Slim Research
Plexus Ambassadors often mention the supplement was originally was studied ―not for weight loss―but rather for its effects on reducing blood sugar. As proof of this, they cite a clinical trial done on 8 people with type 2 diabetes conducted between June and October 2008.
While the study does not appear to be peer reviewed, it does seem to show that people taking plexus slim had reduced blood sugar and body weight. When looking at the summary of this trial on the PS website, a few things occurred to me:
1. The study refers to these 8 people as “patients.” This makes me wonder if the people were confined to a hospital or clinic? If yes, this is not a real life test of plexus because most people won't be monitored for food intake the way people in hospitals /clinics might be. If anyone can address this question, I'd appreciate it.
2. The study only had 8 people. That’s not a lot of people.
3. The study doesn’t seem to be peer reviewed / published in a medical journal
4. The clinical study used the original plexus slim formula. Since the formula ingredients have been tweaked a bit since its inception, it's hard to know if the results would be relevant to the new formula.
Regardless as to whether the product was originally studied for its effects on blood sugar, there is no doubt that Plexus Slim is marked mostly for weight loss. As proof, the product website used to say this:
” Having trouble losing weight and keeping it off? You're not alone. But don't worry! Finally there is an all-natural, healthy solution to help you lose weight for the long term.”
Notice, there is no mention of blood sugar, only weight loss. In fact, on the benefits section above, notice “Clinically demonstrated to help you lose weight” is the #1 item listed. That said, if plexus slim helps weight loss (by getting people to eat less calories), then I'd expect blood sugar to be reduced also.
Who Makes Plexus Slim?
The company is called Plexus Worldwide, LLC. The address listed with the Better Business Bureau is 9145 E Pima Center Pkwy Scottsdale, AZ 85258-4627. An online search of this address reveals a corporate center. The former address of the company was 7440 E. Karen Dr. #400, Scottsdale, AZ 85260. The BBB states the business was started on Jan 1 2008.
The BBB gave Plexus World Wide a rating of “A+” when this review was created. This was interesting considering 63% of the reviews were negative. My guess is this high rating is based on the company responding to complaints filed with the BBB. See the BBB file for updates and more information.
There were no SiteJabber reviews for the company when this review was created. See the SiteJabber file for updates.

Plexus Slim Side Effects
In healthy people, I think this Plexus Slim is safe in the majorly of people who use this supplement. While there are many positive and negative online reviews, I believe in most people, there are no real dangers, espeically for those who are basically healthy. That said, here are some things to consider for those who may not be “healthy.” This list is not complete:
- Start with less than is recommended for the first seek to see how you react
- Stop taking plexus slim at least 2 weeks before having surgery
- Speak to your doctor first if you are pregnant or breastfeeding
- Speak to your pharmacist/ doctor if you take any prescription mediation
- Not intended for people under age 18
- Since it has some caffeine, don't take close to bedtime
- Plexus Slim may reduce blood sugar levels. This may be an issue for some diabetes
- Some reports link garcinia cambogia to liver problems and elevated liver enzymes
- Green coffee extract may reduce blood pressure
- Xylooligosaccharide (XOS) may have a laxative effect in high doses (4grams)
Chromium may reduce thyroid hormone levels when taken at the same time. Separate taking them by at least an hour to reduce this from occurring.
Some evidence suggests chromium may lead to kidney problems. But I think this is rare. I had to search back to 1998 to find a report I felt was relevant. To be safe, speak to your doctor if you have kidney problems before taking chromium supplements.
Some research suggests chlorogenic acid (an ingredient in green coffee) may raise homocysteine. High homocysteine levels are controversial as they may be linked to heart disease. See your doctor if your homocysteine is high for personalized recommendations on this matter.
Leave a comment below if you experienced anything I did not list here.
Plexus Slim Pro & Con
Here is a quick run down of what I liked and didn't like about this supplement. These are my opinions.Yours may be different:
| Pro | Con |
|---|---|
| Company has been in business many years | Expensive |
| Products guaranteed | No clinical research |
| Company responds to complaints | Over-the-top claims |
Does Plexus Slim Work?
I didn't try Plexus Slim and I don't personally know anyone who has tried it. I can only go by the research. Because of its ingredients, I'm fairly sure it will reduce blood sugar levels in some people. But as for weight loss, let's just say results will vary.
Can you give me any information about the bio 5 along with their multi vitamin? I’m taking plexus but I don’t want to take it long term. I’m really only interested in one’s I asked above… Thank you for your research!
Rosemary, I have not yet looked at the PS bio 5 product (its on my list) but, if I can “shoot from the hip” on this, without seeing any proof it works better than any other pro-biotic supplement, I’d say you probably dont need it.
When it comes to multivitamins, I will likewise say (without looking at it) that you can likely do just as well with a lesser alternative product (Centrum for example).
Thank you, I have heard the bio 5, from any company, can be beneficial. I know while I take it it does help me sleep. It Has Helped My Sister As well. I’m just wondering if PS has adding anything different from what other companies have? Also along with the multi vitamin.
Rosemary, I dont think there is anything unique about the PS multivitamin or bio 5 supplement that make them better than other similar products. I believe the bio 5 supplement is a probiotic supplement with some added vitamins and grape seed extract. I’d rather you eat some yogurt.
Joe
Can’t say for sure, but per Carriesterma post, is sounds like to me that PS received a “warning” letter from the FTC, or some other governing body. I have seen a few of these in my day. Trust me,, you don’t ignore those. It was just a matter of time.
Thanks, Carriesterma!
Here is the latest info forwarded to me.
Those with the company should really think about this information and your involvement with them.
Regardless of your like or dislike of a product, this is how the company operates… a bit shady to me.
From Plexus:
To protect our company, our future & stay in compliance with FTC (federal trade commission) we’ve been asked to make a few verbage changes.
1) We can no longer post Dave Brown’s videos publicly. He makes medical claims in them relating the product to diseases, We can post them privately in messages or in these groups for educational purposes only but should never be showed to a person “proving” a claim that has been made.
2) When posting testimonies, please do not put your website link in the post. Simply put “Contact me for additional information”. If you put any info about how to order the product with the testimony you are saying that you have products that will do the same for them.
3) We can no longer publicly say that our product is safe for pregnant or lactating women. Even though it is, our compliance dept. would like for us to change this to legally protect the company. Women should always consult with their doctors first taking a list of the product ingredients.
4) We can no longer say that Plexus was originally created for those with Type II Diabetes (diagnosis of disease) We CAN say, Plexus has been proven to help those with Type II Diabetes to stabilize their blood sugars or is diabetic friendly and again should take a list of ingredients to their physician.
Carrie, Interesting stuff, thanks for passing that along!
Carrie,
I have had no less than 2 people in the last week continue to parrot the statement that this product was “originally created for people with Type II Diabetes”. I’m wondering what the FTC will ultimately do about this?
Michael
If I may chime in. Initially, the Attorney General’s Office of a respective state handles MLM complaints, such as ‘false” claims made by MLM companies. MLM laws differ from state to state. The FTC will step in if needed. The FTC handles, and focuses on the huge companies such as Amway, Herbalife, etc. So, if a person, or persons want to file a complaint, they need to file it through their State AG office.
Why are some Ambassadors are still making PS type II diabetes claim?. Simple answer. Because they can. At this point the MLM industry in not heavily regulated, or controlled and distributors will continue to say, and do what they want and not be held accountable. Small companies like PS slide under the radar because of under staffing of regulatory agencies. The more complaints PS has, the more apt they are to be investigated.
Initially, the company will be sent a warning letter from the State AO, or the FTC and given so many days to show proof they are attempting to correct the matter. If not corrected, the company can be shut down. PS, and other MLM companies will be heavily “scrutinized” in the future. Follow the Herbalife investigation.
CAN PS MAKE CLAIMS AS TO TREATING DISEASE STATES?
Yes, they can, as long as there is clinical data supporting that claim, or claims. We heard that PS sent out a letter to the Ambassadors that they could no longer make statements referring to PS curing or treating any disease state such as Type ll diabetes. Company is admitting that they have no data available proving PS effective in treating any disease state, including Type ll diabetes. NO CLINICAL DATA, NO CLAIM!
So when you hear that a product can’t make such claims, it’s for one of two reasons:
1) They don’t have the money to do the necessary research. (If they believed in their product, they could get a loan or work an agreement with an investor who does have the money. This is a poor excuse for a product if it actually “works.”)
2) They don’t want to have their product tested. In many cases these products are just common juices and spices and there’s no reason to expect them to do anything medically different than your orange juice or your Cinnamon Toast Crunch. However, as long as they are able to make a reasonable case to a gullible person that their product works, it is to their advantage to never formally test the product as they would be proven wrong. Such a move would end their business instantly.
This disappointing part is that there are gullible consumers who don’t realize that if the company truly believed its product worked for any medical condition it would likely make billions of dollars. The company should be extremely interested in doing these formal clinical tests as it would mean so much more money for them. Yet, I have never seen an MLM company perform these large scale tests with the goal of getting on the FDA list. It seems that these companies have very low confidence in their product
I have to be honest here . The new formula is just not working for many . Me personally i gained 10 pounds and i am active eat clean drink no sodas . During the old accelerator i had no complains but the new one is just not working for many .
Lauren, others have told me the same thing. The PS company should have had an idea of this before they changed the formula.
Lauren,
I experienced the exact same thing! Weight gain, despite regular exercise and a clean diet. My Ambassador friends keep blaming me, saying it’s a “yeast thing”. They tell me I need to increase the ProBio up to 4 capsules a night, and give it at least 4 weeks. I tried Plexus twice — once in November and again in March. I averaged a 5 lb weight gain every 3 weeks. NO!! I’m NOT giving the product more money, more time, and more weight!
On that note, since stopping the product 2 weeks ago, I’ve lost 3 lbs — same exercise routine, same clean diet, same everything — minus Plexus.
Good luck to you!
Wendy and others. I updated my review with your thoughts on how PS is not working for some people.
LOL! The Amazon link doesn’t work (or at least it didn’t for me). Apparently someone didn’t want those reviews seen. I think Plexus is stalking you, Joe!
Wendy, your right so I removed it. I’m sure I’m not winning any popularity contests lol
I’m wondering if the Slim still contains Hoodia under the disguise of “proprietary blend”. I have an Ambassador friend who tells me it was removed in January because it is an endangered plant.
Cripes! How often do these formulas change and how are you supposed to build any faith in their claims if they’re constantly being changed?!?!?!?
Candy, I think the removal of hoodia from Plexus slim is more than being about the plant being endangered. It may be too expensive to grow or import (I’m not sure if they import it from Africa or grow in the US etc). I’ve noticed the changes in the formula myself and I do agree its a problem that distributors will have to overcome. That said, most new customers likely won’t know about the changes unless they do some digging and find my site or others like it.
I think the “endangered” plant excuse might be to hide the fact that Hoodia can affect people in a negative way. They did not want any issues with that. I am glad that they took it out especially when they did not label it as Hoodia. For some people, Hoodia sends their blood pressure way up.
Jolene, Im glad they removed hoodia also.
I lost almost 40 lbs on the old formula but the first week on the new stuff and I had already gained three lbs.. I started the new formula in January and have gained 20 lbs. I have the hungry feelings that I didn’t have while on the old formula.. Why is this?
Jenn, that’s an interesting question.
Jenn
I would take that question to someone at one of those PS rah-rah meetings, or better than that, directly to the company. It would be interesting to know what sort of, in my opinion, BS they would give you. Don’t be surprised if you are ignored, or even ask to leave. Actually happened to me, a former ambassador. lol
By the way, sorry to hear of your weight-gain, obviously frustrating.
I was wondering if you have do or can/will you do a review on Advocare products? I would be most interested in that as well.
Mari, your in luck. Here is my review of Advocare Spark energy drink
http://supplementclarity.com/advocare-spark-energy-drink-review/
Im also going to be reviewing the Advocare shake in the very near future so stay tuned 🙂
I used the original Plexus and I loved it. I lost 15 pounds and I felt great.I believed in the product so much that I signed up as an ambassador mainly to buy at wholesale. I bought the trial packs and gave them to people to try. Everybody that I gave a trial pack to loved it and bought a months supply. The only problem was the trial pack was the old formula and the month supply was the new formula which did not work.
I feel like I scammed these people because the tried one thing and bought something else. I gave them there money back. I do try to exercise daily if possible (I have sciatic pain that sometime completely shuts me down) but the old formula did stop sugar cravings and controlled my appetite. I loved it, however the new formula is horrible and I did call and cancel my membership as an ambassador.
Allison
You are one in a million! Allison, you did not scam these people, if anybody did, it was the company. If PS would spend some of that money they claim they make on some research they would have known the products possibly acted differently.
Has anybody noticed that this company is supposedly expanding, but there are only three people running the company. Does that look like a company that in it for the long-term? PS should be adding on people, especially in marketing. They have actually lost one executive.
Michael
You are right on about this lady that is an ‘ambassador” for PS in Mckinny, Texas. She is the “exact” reason MLM has the bad reputation it has today. Refer her to this site, I would actually pay money to confront her on the PS MLM issues, and I would love to see Joe taking her to school on the product issue.
By the way, the Lexus is actually a lease, but, you fail to maintain your particular level at PS, it becomes yours as far as making the payments are concerned. Michael, I have actually seen people as of this lady “living” in these cars after the MLM scheme went south.
Please refer her to this site! I would love, and welcome the challenge!!
Pete,
I believe I know this McKinney-area ambassador personally. It’s been rather mind-boggling how quickly she’s racked up the underlings hawking this product. I no longer live in the area, but it seems like every day, there is someone else promoting PS on their Facebook pages and they are all connected to this one person. She is definitely not the type to listen to reason and will not hear anything from anyone that is contrary to what she believes. I’m going to keep checking back on this site, though, in hopes that you do get the challenge!
My husband and I tried PS for several months and it did nothing for us. My husband then began counting calories (with a little bit of exercise here and there) and subsequently lost 45 pounds! I have not found that sort of motivation and discipline yet and was considering trying PS again – just to see. I am glad I stumbled onto this site and had y’all talk me out of making the mistake a second time!
I think I know many of her underlings, but not her personally. I try to avoid talking Plexus IRL. I have many many friends taking and selling it that have had absolutely no weight loss. Their Facebook posts were all about losing weight for the summer.
Now they claim that it’s not about weight loss, but whole body health instead. It is alarming that they are pushing this stuff for kids and pregnant or nursing women.
I too am so glad I found this site instead of getting sucked into the cult like mentality. It is frightening to me how quickly and fully my friends have fallen for this.
Jan, the same thing has been happening here – there are people saying plexus slim is not for weight loss but other stuff (wellness etc). I guess that’s not a coincidence based on what you’ve heard.
Joe – My wife is considering taking this stuff.. not so much for the weight loss benefits (although that is a significant side benefit she will certainly appreciate if it actually works in that regard), but because an Ambassador friend – who is also a nurse – takes it and says that her migraines are gone. (My wife’s friend doesn’t need to lose weight, but whatever.)
Anyway, I was curious if you had heard or were aware of migraine relief being a potential benefit of this “supplement”?
Charlie, if Plexus Slim helps migraines, I wonder if it might be because of its green coffee extract. There is some research that Chlorogenic acid (which is in green coffee bean) reduces blood pressure and a quick search of medline showed this study noting that both also helped headaches: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=Chlorogenic+acid+headache
Could this be the reason why your wife’s friend has fewer migraines? Maybe. Its hard to tell given the lack Plexus Slim/migraine research, but its a theory. Let me know what happens if your wife tries it.
I have tried this stuff and had an allergic reaction (itching all over). The representative said she couldn’t image what was in it that would cause that. I asked her before trying if it would react with supplements I take. Her response was, “it shouldn’t.” I should have known better.
I have been tempted to try it again, just to make sure that the drink was what was wrong with me. Came back to this site to do some more reading. Glad I did, cause that’s all it takes. NO MORE FOR ME!
Dawn, I started taking the slim only last week. The sixth day into this regimine I developed a fine red rash all over my body. I stopped the Plexus on the sixth day and today, three days later, My rash is fading. It did not itch much, but the Plexus is the only thing I had done differently in my life. My ambassador had not heard of anyone else getting a rash. I will say, I had no desire to snack and my appeitite seemed to be supressed. I intend to ask for a refund.

I have been around doctors for more than half my life. I have followed them from medical school, all the way through them being in practice for many years, and some still are. I can tell you with pretty much certainly that when a doctor looks at what’s in PS, he most probably sees only a “vitamin supplement”.
I have heard drs. speak of vitamins and they basic feel that “what the heck, if the patient is taking them, and believe they are helping, can’t hurt anything. That proves what little training they have in medical school on vitamins. Hardly any, if any at all. If these doctors you speak really believe that PS is the answer for long-term weight-loss, other than proper diet and exercise, I would love to know what medical school they went to because they need to ask for a refund.
You spent 6-months studying why PS is such a great product? Maybe it is, but really, if you have proof that PS is better than less expensive alternatives on the market, let’s see it. You have none, just like you have no proof of all the claims you make in your recent post. No proof, no credibility.
Al, just answer two questions:
— Do you sell this “stuff”?
— Why don’t you respond to Joe’s post and provide proof of the claims you make instead of walking all around the park?
Oh, and to have Joe provide information comparing PS to ADHD meds. What a joke. Why don’t “YOU” have PS to do the study. They won’t because first of all they know the study would be BS, and why should they spend the money on the issue when they already have you and others out there making false claims about how PS treats, and cures ADHD.
Al
Forgot. Here is one of many articles in my files that refer to how many doctors feel about products such as PS. And yes, most would consider PS a vitamin, or a dietary supplement treehugger.com/health/multivitamins-and-dietary-supplements-are-waste-money-doctors-say.html.
Pete, I love your posts as you get right to the heart of the matter. After a really bad experience with the “original Plexus Slim,” I would not take any of their products much to the dismay of the Ambassador who sold me the product. I was ignorant of the fact that natural is not always safe ( my doctor actually used those exact words when I showed him the ingredients after I had my bad experience).
I did not see the ingredient Hoodia on the label because they called it something else and have now taken that ingredient out of the “new formula.” I am on BP & heart meds so I should have not even considered this product.
My doc approves of the other vitamin supplements I take because they are all singular in nature. I think when a product has too many ingredients you can get into more issues.
My blood pressure went sky high and I bloated up like a 9-month pregnant woman (not a good look for a senior citizen). After reading Joe’s ingredient explanation, I see that there are a lot of fiber ingredients in Plexus Slim which can cause bloating. My husband lost weight by more conscious eating and hitting the treadmill everyday. He is getting the results that Plexus Slim advocates get for waaaaaay less money as food is in our budget already.
There is really no talking to Ambassadors about any negatives about the products as I think it is like the “political Kool-Aid” that some folks have been drinking only it is “pink Plexus Slim” for weight loss and curing every disease known to man (and woman).
I told my Ambassador that there is “good and not so good” about EVERYTHING…….even Plexus products. She Told me she does not read any negative about Plexus so won’t even consider reading Supplement Clarity items. Keep on keeping on, Pete & Joe!
Joleen, so they know about me then! 🙂
My ex Ambassador knows about you but will not, I repeat, will not, read anything negative (in her view) about the products. Even if it is factual! I don’t argue anymore as that is a lost cause and I’m not sure how much time left I have here on earth! 🙂
Jolene, none of us do but hopefully we will both be around for a good long time 🙂
Jolene,
I’m wondering if your ex-Ambassador lives anywhere near the McKinney TX area. We have a lady who has reached the upper echelons of PS due to high sales, etc. She flaunts the fact that she has “won” a Lexus from the company, brays on about the money she has made and touts this product as a cure-all for everything under the sun. She touts giving this stuff to children as well for ADD, headaches, you name it.
If you cross her on anything PS, be prepared for wrath from her and hundreds of her sub-ambassadors. She has been overheard saying the she will “ruin” people for speaking out against PS. If this is her, I have tremendous sympathy for you.
These “ambassadors” are generally interested only in making money and getting a free trip or other benefit. They load their Facebook pages up constantly at the behest of their leader and make it seem as if it is the only answer to weight loss/low energy/etc. Bandwagon pressure of epic proportions.
My biggest concern with PS is the whole appetite suppressant issue. Maybe Joe can address this: Doesn’t the body have a natural tendency to build tolerance to things like appetite suppressant, thereby requiring more of it over time to stave off cravings?
Isn’t it inherently dangerous to be on a suppressant for more than a short duration? Additionally, is there any study or documentation that has tested the purity of ingredients in PS?
Michael, let me try to answer your questions in order
1. I think it would depend on what the appetite suppressant was. with stimulants I think people might eventually get a tolerance to it, requiring more. With stuff like fiber, I dont think so, but I could be wrong.
2. most supplement products Ive seen dont have any research on them or if they do, its not long term research. So, its hard to tell what long term side effects would be.
3. I’m not aware of any purity studies done on Plexus Slim.
No, Michael, my ex-Ambassador is in the Midwest. Her Mom even said maybe I should try the “new formula” and I said absolutely NOT. There are so many ingredients in Plexus Slim that I’m not sure which one is not going to work for me. I am losing weight the good old fashioned way by eating more healthy meals and movement (I don’t call it exercise!). Works for me and I save lots of money too.
I don’t even discuss the products with them anymore as they don’t want to hear any negative comments. Someone commented to me that I did not give it long enough. I was bloated, had higher blood pressure and had no appetite for four days so yes, of course, I want to give it longer as that was such fun.
Jolene
Please take note Joe is the expert, and author of this site. Any product questions, he is the man. I know VERY little compared to him. He lets me express my views on the business side of PS, and I appreciate him letting me do that. But, he does have his limitations when too off subject. Great site, and your friend, and hers, ought to be introduced to it. Keep trying to get them on board.
Pete thanks, and you know a LOT more about the business side of this stuff than I do. I prefer to think of myself as a seeker of knowledge rather than an expert because nobody knows everything – that’s especially true for me 🙂
When most people have a headache, they take an OTC medication. If they have severe migraines, they can get a prescription med. What about if you have diarrhea, or are constipated, or have a yeast infection? Get a minor cold or have an infectious flu? Majority of the time when we have an ailment, whether large or small, we take some form of medication; be it an OTC or doctor prescribed antibiotics.
Are you aware of what those medications can be made of? There is a reason why the products have warnings stating that they should not be taken for extended periods of time. They are bad for the liver, pancreas, and kidneys, etc. Antibiotics rob the intestinal tract of ALL bacteria to ensure that the bad bacteria is gone.
Our bodies are supposed to have healthy bacteria in them for balanced function, and if not, a list of issues can come about. One overlooked issue is constipation. Colorectal specialists state that when we do not rid our bodies of feces AT LEAST 2-3 times a day, we are considered to be constipated. When a person gets constipated, the colon may be holding 10, 20 or more pounds.
The weight by itself isn‘t the problem, but the volume is – large, heavy stools enlarge and stretch out the colon, irritate the colon mucosa, harm the anal canal, and may produce TOXINS related to fermentation and rotting.Constipation significantly increases your risk of becoming a victim of medical error and/or of the side effects of drugs, all related to the treatment of any ensuing colorectal disorder.
Constipation affects genitourinary health, particularly for women, because the large intestine and the female reproductive organs reside in close proximity. These problems run the gamut from undue pressure on the uterus to rectal prolapse inside the vagina, from fecal incontinence to miscarriage from straining, and numerous other, equally nasty problems.
Constipation affects your quality of life, causes stress, and diminishes your overall sense of well-being. These things tend to self-perpetuate, and profoundly affect the cardiovascular, endocrine, and immune systems. (I got all this information from literature my Colorectal specialist gave me to deal with the issues I was having post pregnancy and I did not want to take prescribed medication to “clear up the problems”.)
Those are the toxins I am talking about! So when we have the surface issue of a headache/migraine, stomach issues-as extreme as IBS or Crohn’s-yeast infection, or UTI, majority of the time they can be traced to a gut health issues and remedied by first and foremost correction the gut issue.
Some extreme reactions to consistent gut issues are appendicitis and loss of gall bladder functionality. SIDENOT: I will tell you, my mother has been on chemical imbalance medication for as long as I can remember. It turns her into a slug. Slow, quiet, almost non-existent. Over the years she’s had to have a hysterectomy, gall bladder removal, appendix removal, and polyps removed from her colon.
She eats a well balanced vegetarian diet, walks 5 miles a day, and drinks only water. She has been taking a few of the Plexus products, not the Accelerator+, and has been able to lower her meds significantly to the point where her doctors are baffled. They gave her the ok to take the products because in comparison to the prescription she was taking, they thought it would be a waste of time and money. There was nothing in it that would harm her and compared it to taking a handful or various vitamins.
When children suffer from ADHD, one of the non medicinal approaches is to remove their diet of dairy, wheat, and sugar. Sometimes parents will go so far as to remove ALL animal products, tree nuts, soy, and a list of other things. The studies for that have stated that the suffering child’s digestive enzymes are not able to properly break down
the food, leaving their digestive system imbalanced and since they are already hypersensitive to begin with, the domino effect of issues caused by said imbalance is multiplied significantly. Why have parents stated that their doctor said it was ok, or feel that it is ok to try on their child? Mainly because they’ve tried everything else and shoving
big name pharmaceutical pills into their suffering child seems worse than giving them a product that is labeled with less seemingly harmful ingredients then the other options.
I’d be nice to see you review the ingredients list of an ADHD medication and compare it to the Plexus pink drink.
Al, let’s leave off the big pharma conspiracy theories and stay on Plexus Slim. So, If I understand correctly you are saying that plexus Slim acts like a laxative or probiotic yes? that’s what I take away from your talk about the colon, constipation etc. If that’s correct, please point me to proof that the ingredients in PS remove those toxins. In my original review I pointed to the ingredients in PS that have fiber and may help constipation here’s the link http://supplementclarity.com/plexus-slim-review-ingredients-side-effects/
I have no problem with people being more regular and Ive often said that in a world where people eat a lot of junk food, the best “supplement” is a salad, so I have no issues with getting more fiber in the diet.
The point of Plexus products is to assist the organs by flushing them of all of the crap that has been stuffed into them. Same with expecting our digestive system to function properly while eating trans fats and processed foods stripped of any nutrients.
The Plexus line of products help to get the body into shape by flushing out all of the toxins. The reason it is said to be “safe for kids” is because it is not first and foremost a diet supplement. It is marketed as such because that is what so many people in this world want to see or hear.
To eat what they want, do as little as they can, and still lose weight. Plexus isn’t even about the weight lost per se, it’s about the FAT lost. Once the subcutaneous and visceral fat that is coating our organs is lost and our pancreas and liver flushed, our body is capable of processing food and better at elimination.
Also, an overgrowth of bacteria can lead to a person having even more issues. Over indulge in sweets much? Check your spit for candida albicans. I understand you are all about the science of the product, but what about the science of the body? I researched for 6 months from that perspective before I decided to try the ‘pink drink’ only.
Only after consulting with my primary care physician, ob/gyn, pediatrician, chemist, botanist, physiologist, and naturopath, did I decide this was the best product for me to try to help get into a better physical and mental state of mind after having a baby. (half of those professionals are all friends of mine)
Not only did they tell me that it was ok for ME to use it, but they wanted to know how they could get some, too. Again, fat loss is a BY PRODUCT of the Plexus supplements, not the main goal. But who wants to buy a product that flushes your organs? Who wants to buy a product that helps you get skinny?
Al, Since you did all that research for 6 months, specifically what toxins is plexus slim flushing from the body?
You say PS is safe for kids because it is NOT a dietary supplement but its labeled as a supplement because that is what people want to see/expect. I’m sorry but that statement makes no sense.
If PS has helped you lose weight, I’ll tell you I’m glad for you (because I really am!) but I won’t let you expose crazy ideas – yes they are crazy – that kids should be taking an untested (it has no research. zero. zilch. nada) weight loss supplements. The same goes for pregnant women and nursing mothers. Not one of those very smart people you say you spoke to can prove me wrong either – because they have no evidence to back up that PS is safe in kids (or pregnant women/nursing mothers).
Al
If PS is not classified as a “dietary supplement”, what is it? It is certainly not a drug. Where did you find this information? Being involved in the pharmaceutical industry for many years, I find it very interesting in a lot of ways? If you could link the sources, it would be appreciated.

I am no spring chicken (80) and wanted to lose some weight. I have always eaten the correct food but in the wrong quantities. I don’t exercise as much now as I have a stiff hip joint. I have type 2 diabetes and Plexus Slim sounded like a good option.
The smell of the drink and the taste was quite off putting but I persevered. It did not reduce my appetite and I found my blood sugar readings were going up at a rapid rate. I stopped and it went back to normal. I tried again 10 days later and the same thing happened. My doctor said to avoid the product.
I have now put mind over matter and am losing weight slowly without any additives.
When I received the four month supply there was nothing in the packet to say why the product had been made in the first place and whether or not it was a medical research facility. All I got was how to become an ambassador repeated numerous times in several brochures and on disk. Not what I wanted to know about their ‘magic drink’.
My original call was to a phone in Queensland, Australia which relayed to Canada and the product was sent from the USA. I want to return three month’s supply and get a refund. I somehow think that may be difficult but I will press on.
Thank you! I loved reading what others and yourself had to say although it seems no one has had my problem.
Marleen, thanks for writing and sorry that all happened to you. Do let me know if you are able to get a refund from Plexus Slim. Im really glad you are starting to lose weight the old fashioned way (mind over matter)
I will Joe. Not sure why I think it could be a hassle but I will push on.
Marlene, I truly hope you are able to get your refund especially since you purchased a 4 month supply. I only purchased a one month supply and it took me quite a while to get my refund. Keep at it. I called several times, wrote a letter and e-mailed and finally got the money refunded on my credit card.
When I called they said they had already refunded my money but when I called my bank they said there was no refund during the time Plexus said they had done it. When I called back again they assured me it would be done. It was. Don’t let them keep your money. They have the guarantee and they better back it up. I wish you all the best on this issue.
In fact I hope you will reply back and tell me that you have received it.
Joe,
I just wanted to leave my two cents here as well. I began taking Plexus Slim hoping to lose about 10 percent of my body weight. I lost about 5 percent. I felt more energetic and didn’t feel hungry a lot of the time. I am from Canada, and some of the people I know were getting their PS seized at customs because in Canada you can’t have Hoodia.
I understood (from friends not from anyone in the company) that Hoodia is what keeps you feeling full. The company said (I called) that their chemists “quickly” reformulated (although sounded the same but no hoodia) for Canada. My understanding is that the product sold in the States will have the hoodia. Some people I know have cancelled their product because of this.
I have been taking the product for a few months, but I haven’t lost any more weight. I know some people who have done very well though. Whether it is actually the product or a placebo effect, who knows.
Leanne, so that explains why hoodia was removed from Plexus Slim! I was wondering why they took it out. Do you know why hoodia not allowed in supplements in Canada?
Joe
This link may be ONE of the reasons hoodia is not allowed in Canada at this time, and some European countries. My opinion, if PS wants to expand their markets, especially to other countries, the hoodia would have to be removed, or research would have to be done to prove the hoodia is pure, or even exists in the product. As you know this is a very expensive process. Please pay attention to the statement that 80% of the time the hoodia in supplements are either contaminated, or counterfeited. I could see where anyone would have a concern here. altmedicine.about.com/od/popularhealthdiets/a/hoodia1.htm
Pete, thanks for that update. Ive also heard that there was not enough hoodia on Earth to fill all the supplements out there so I would not be surprised at the lack of quality. Its interesting the caveat about hoodia and diabetes.
Hoodia is also on the endangered plant list
Cheryl, Hoodia has been a protected plant in Africa for many years. If the reason they took hoodia out of PS is because its endangered, then why did they put it in PS to begin with?
I have been taking Plexus for almost a month. My weight has fluctuated the first couple weeks but now I’m down 6 pounds. I have been battling depression and chronic hives for years. Plexus has given me energy and my hives are at a very minimum. I am an ambassador because I figured I had nothing to lose. So far I love the product. I’m not craving sweets and I have so much energy.
Does it work for some people and not for others, sure. Does exercise and eating correctly work for losing weight? Of course! In the past I have had to do extreme measures like cutting ALL carbs. This is very hard and after a time I give up. Then it is like a snowball on a hill effect. So in a couple months I will let you know. I’m am all about peer reviewed research so that is one sad part that I feel Plexus is lacking. I would love to see some scientific studies complete.
All I know is that I feel great, have more energy, and this in turns leads to a healthier lifestyle. I’m working on a couch to 5k and doing Yoga. Plexus has given me that initiative. I love the “pink” drink and accelerator. To each his own! 🙂 The best part about Plexus is the 60 day money back, if you don’t like it, send it back.
My husband is USAF and started taking it. This very skeptical man likes it so far. He is very fit but carrying some extra weight around the middle. Even so he ALWAYS scores high on his PT test. In a couple days without drastically changing his eating, he is down three pounds. It appears to be helping with his cravings.
This is my experience with the product this far. I’ll update in a couple months.
Have you reviewed the X Factor? I appreciate all your hard work. It is very helpful
Leslie, the X Factor is probably next of the PS products I’ll review. I hope to have something posted on it soon
Hi. I was curious about PS, so I asked a friend who is an ambassador for a three day trial pack. On the first day, I was incredibly thirsty, but I also experienced a laxative affect. The second day, the water craving was cut in half, and the laxative thing was over.
The third day, I was not needing water as much, although when I got thirsty, no longer did I want coffee or tea or juice – I wanted water. Here is the weird thing I experienced – I had no desire to snack. Zero cravings. I felt no nervous, jittery feelings at all. I believe I am going to try the 30 day slim just to see if the cravings continue to be gone. For me, that is what distracts me from healthy eating.
Having said aaaaallllllll that…I do appreciate your scientific analysis of the product. Puts some science on it. I do realize that this may be psychological. Since I had no expectation of wt loss for the three day trial, I am very curious.
If I do try the 30 day ps, I will let you know what happens. 🙂 Again, thank you.
Melissa, thanks and you are very welcome. I hope it helps you and I’ll look forward to reading what happened after 30 days 🙂
