Core Isagenix Products for a Cleanse Day
An Isagenix Cleanse Day is built around specific Isagenix products, which provide nutritional support during the fasting period. These items are the foundation of the experience and are consumed throughout the day to support the body's natural detoxification and rejuvenation processes.
- Cleanse for Life®: This is the cornerstone of the Cleanse Day. It is a botanical beverage that provides vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients. Typically, you consume four "deep cleanse" servings spaced evenly throughout the day.
- Ionix® Supreme: An adaptogen-rich tonic designed to help your body combat the effects of stress. A serving of Ionix Supreme or Adaptogen Elixir is often included on a Cleanse Day.
- Natural Accelerator™: This supplement, containing cayenne, green tea, and cocoa seed, is meant to help boost metabolism. It is typically taken twice during the day.
- IsaFlush®: A supplement containing magnesium and other herbs to promote digestive regularity. It is taken before bedtime with water.

Beverage Options Beyond Cleanse for Life
Staying hydrated is crucial during an Isagenix Cleanse Day. In addition to your Cleanse for Life servings, you are encouraged to drink plenty of fluids.
Allowed Beverages
- Plain Water: Still or sparkling water are excellent for staying hydrated and managing hunger.

- Green or Black Tea: Unsweetened green or black tea is also acceptable.
Strategies for a Successful Cleanse Day
Success on a Cleanse Day depends heavily on planning and mindset. Here are some strategies to help you stay on track:
- Plan Ahead: Choose your Cleanse Days in advance and prepare your snacks and drinks beforehand. Having everything ready helps prevent impulsive, unapproved snacking.
- Stay Busy: Distract yourself from food by staying occupied. Plan activities that keep you engaged and your mind off hunger, such as light exercise, organizing, or working on a project.
- Schedule Your Servings: Set alarms or reminders on your phone to prompt you to drink your Cleanse for Life and have a snack at regular intervals. This prevents long stretches without nourishment, which can lead to fatigue and hunger.
- Listen to Your Body: While Cleanse Days are low in calories, you should still pay attention to your body's signals. If you feel dizzy or unwell, it's okay to have an extra approved snack, like a slice of apple, to help stabilize blood sugar.
- Hydrate Continuously: Sometimes thirst can be mistaken for hunger. Keeping a water bottle on hand and sipping throughout the day can curb cravings.
