If you do a search, you find that Isagenix is a typical MLM organisation.
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isagenix_International>
Isagenix International LLC is a multilevel marketing company which
sells products it says remove toxins and fat from the body.
i.e. weight loss, skin creams, diets, etc.etc.
And, of course, they want you to sign up so you too can become a
millionaire selling potions.

They are not illegal, but MLM companies have a severe image problem.
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-level_marketing>
Multi-level marketing (MLM) is a marketing strategy in which the sales
force is compensated not only for sales they personally generate, but
also for the sales of others they recruit, creating a downline of
distributors and a hierarchy of multiple levels of compensation. Other
terms for MLM include pyramid selling, network marketing, and referral
marketing.

Their products will probably not damage you, except in your wallet.
(About 400 or 500 USD per month for the rest of your life).

After reading the pages and pages of carefully worded sales blurb and
enthusiastic testimonials, you find in the small print that all their
products include the standard disclaimer to avoid inspection by the
FDA.

"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."

Isagenix products have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug
Administration as the FDA does not pre-approve nutritional or dietary
supplements because they are regulated as foods (not drugs) under the
Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA) of 1994.[5] The
FDA does monitor manufacturing practices and labeling for compliance.
Isagenix does use products with an FDA GRAS (Generally Recognized As
Safe) certification if available.

and Associates selling the product are ordered that they
Cannot
    Make medical or curative claims
    Claim it reverses aging process
    Claim it lengthens telomeres
    Claim it induces telomerase (enzyme that can reverse telomeres shortening)

I'd wait for some proper science reports before buying miracle vitamins.
