I'm all for PINK, but ... Plexus gives me concerns

I never do this, but I'm going to go out on a limb here and share my concern about these products.  So many of my friends keep joining and posting about Plexus, and are getting more and more of their friends involved. I so want to get excited with you all about your health and financial successes, but I sincerely feel that you might have regrets, health concerns, and end up leading your friends into harm. I'm not trying to bash your company or your newest “find.” Please, hear my heart on this.  And, ultimately, do what you like.

I know many of you are excited about the business side of this product and company as well. I totally get it! I love educating and sharing products that I love, too. And making a commission on top of it all is awesome! Not to mention helping people attain goals, get healthy, etc. It's exhilarating! Helping people is where it's at!  I know that's where a lot of the Plexus passion is resting.

Just make sure all your energy is focused on the right products. “A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches.”

It's never to late to let your friends know that you've learned some new things that have made you uncomfortable

with the product (or their newest formulation of the product). And, it's never too late to steer people who are looking up to you in a different direction. They will have more respect for you in the long run.

EDUCATE YOURSELF – Ask questions

That's what this new e-generation is all about!

Are these “most-natural” Plexus products REALLY healthy for me and my friends? Long-term? Can I recommend them with a clean conscious – KNOWING what they will do?

Concern #1: There are severe warnings on each of their labels including:
  • Not intended for pregnant or nursing mothers
  • Or if you have a heart condition
  • or if you have high blood pressure
  • or any other cardiovascular condition
  • not intended for children under 18
  • do not take with “certain” medications

WHY??? These warnings always give me a huge reason to question the ingredients because it means there are potentially dangerous elements in whatever is in the bottle. This is supposed to be “most-natural”, nutritious, helpful??? If it were so “Natural”, and wholesome for the body, it wouldn't need all the warnings. Big red flag...

Concern #2: What is Plexus giving you in each of their products? Are these ingredients you SHOULD be consuming as part of your human diet? They may be “most-natural” but, does that mean they are GOOD for you, too – part of our human food chain? Or are they as natural as pine-bark, penicillin, and poison ivy may be ...
  • SLIM:
    • Chromium. he body only needs this trace mineral in small amounts. Why such a huge amount?
    • Herbal stimulants
  • Accelerator+:
    • Massive amounts of 3 B Vitamins (no wonder people get energy from this)
    • more Chromium (What does the body do with it in such massive amounts?? ),
    • and herbal stimulants including Higenamine (which can negatively affect the heart by causing more contractions and increasing your heart rate)
    • and hordenine, another herbal stimulant.
  • Boost:
    • Calcium
    • More Vit B's (more energy)
    • More chromium?
    • Herbal stimulants
    • NuFlow?
  • Plexus 96 (meal replacement)
    • several nutrients
    • more Vit B's: How much does your body need? No wonder everyone's feeling an “energy boost!”
    • more Chromium!
    • And 5 amino acids – from where?
  • Family Chewables
    • contain synthetic ingredients!

Concern #3: How is everyone losing weight? Supposedly these ingredients were helping diabetics stabilize their blood sugar. Then, someone realized that they were also losing weight at the same time. Sounds great, right? A natural way to balance your blood sugar AND lose weight at the same time! However, it may not be a healthy way after all.

There are healthy ways to stabilize your blood sugars. If you keep your body from spiking it's blood sugars, and you consume adequate amounts of proteins and fiber, your body will naturally balance itself.  It's part of healthy digestion.  Unfortunately, many of us Americans tend to lack the discipline necessary to have the body do this naturally. Instead of healthily doing this, Plexus gives you this “herbal stimulant” to help.

Concern #4: Are you losing weight because of the products or because you're not eating enough? There are hardly any nutrients in these products. You “feel” energy because of all the B vitamins and herbs. And, you don't crave sugars, because of the herbal stimulants. But you're barely eating anything. This can lead to drastic weight loss, but is dangerous, too. Starving your body is not an ideal way to take care of your body. And, you might just gain all the weight back, once the body stops being “stimulated.”

Concern #5: Do we know the source of these ingredients? Knowing where these products come from is soooo important. Are they GMO? Are they synthetic? Have the herbs been grown with pesticides, herbicides, etc?  Unfortunately, Plexus does not disclose all this information to their customers.  So, we can't know for sure. :-(

Concern #6: How do you know that these herbs won't have harmful effects? Where's the science and research (over years) that proves that we won't be harmed? 

Concern #7: Do we know that the amounts offered in these products are OK to be consuming regularly? Where are the studies? Can we trust this company and it's claims?
