Health Supplements are big business nowadays.
It seems that every time one turns around there’s a new supplement being released that claims to be better than all the other supplements that preceded it.
This isn’t exactly false, especially when one considers how many scientific breakthroughs occur on a regular basis. But let’s face facts: about 80 % of the claims made by these companies is total BS.
It’s becoming increasingly difficult to discern which supplements are worth the money and which should be completely avoided.
This problem is compounded by the fact that all the companies use virtually the same lexicon when describing their products.
People will be hard-pressed to find a Health Supplement company that doesn’t claim to contain ingredients that are “backed by clinical research”.
But all of this can’t be a farce, cant it?
Absolutely not. The problem isn’t that supplement companies make inferior products the problem is, as Gary Vaynerchuk says: “Marketers Ruin Everything”.
That’s the understatement of the century. Marketers completely destroy everything they touch.
They take a lackluster product and proceed to hype it to extremes, using buzz words that capture the attention and wallets of the consumer.
They only safe bet to increase the likelihood that money, time, and attention isn’t wasted is to go by public opinion. That’s what reviews and blogs are here to do which is to help the masses discern from what works and what doesn’t.
With that being said, this review will take a look at one of these supplement companies and provide the facts to help readers determine whether or not it’s a worthwhile investment.
Let’s get started.
About Shapeoloigist
Shapeologist, not to be confused with a similar company called Shapeology, is a supplement company that prides itself on creating products that consumers can actually feel working.
A healthier state of being is created when customers try these products, according to the companies “About Me” section.
Each of the products made by Shapeologist contains ingredients that are backed by clinical research and meant to mimic the effects of a high metabolism.
These products are meant to be used in concert with diet and exercise in order for customers to experience profound results.
It’s a good touch that they added that last part. Not many companies speak on the fact that their products benefits are nullified if they are not paired with physical exercise and a healthy diet.
This noted difference makes the company appear to be more credible. The first impression of this company is that they are short and sweet.
Many similar supplement companies use more filler words than Shapeologist does just to fill up website pages. Apparently Shapeologist doesn’t feel the need to follow that model.
So far, the content is refreshingly different. Let’s go on.
Products
Shapeologist doesn’t have a very extensive catalog. Taking the perspective of a first time visitor, their website product page could be organized better.
All of the products are pretty much jammed onto the same page without any observable rhyme or reason.
Attempting to lump the products into categories, there seems to be products for weight-loss, cleansing, muscle gain, and sleep quality.
Each product has a catchy design, but consumers aren’t interested in that kind of information so let’s take a closer look into what one of these products has to offer.
The product chosen at random is the 15 day cleanse since cleansing has become all the rage in circles of health enthusiasts.
Upon first impression, the product pages seems to be just as sleek, if not more so, than the “About Us” section of the website. This could be very good, or very bad.
The whole point of this 15 day cleanse product seems to be to clean the intestinal track of foreign waste, thereby reducing bloating and increasing energy.
Sounds good. Sounds necessary. But does it work? That’s the question.
Shapeologist does provide the ingredients and quantities of said ingredients included in this product, which is a good sign since most similar products hide behind the statement “proprietary blend”.
This product includes the following ingredients:
- Senna Leaves
- Cascara Sagrada
- Psllium Husk
- Flaxseed Powder Complex
- Aloe Vera Gel
- L. Acidophilus
- Licorice Root
- MCT Oil
What would be a nice added touch is to include a written description of each ingredient so that consumers know the purpose of each product, but that’s not totally necessary.
Purchasers of this product are to take one capsule 1 to 2 times daily with water for 15 days, which means this supplement is also easy to take and want put customers drastically out of their normal routine.
It costs $29.99, which is not bad at all consider the price point of similar products that have a “proprietary blend”.
The product seems legit. It tells consumers everything they need to know putting them in a position to do more research if need be. All-in-all, it checks out.
Shapeologist Review Summary
Shapeologist is a company that gets straight to the point.
They tell customers exactly what they need to know. Nothing more, nothing less. The company could do a better job organizing their products, but that’s certainly not a deal breaker.
If the 15-Day Cleanse is a reflection of what the rest of this company’s products have to offer, they are all of quality.
All of the ingredients are provided for customers and they are all affordable.
