Comparison of Two of the Higher Priced Products on the Market. Isagenix is a tiny bit more expensive, but packs a bit more of a nutritional punch (higher protein, less sugar) with a few more calories. All-in-all, Isagenix probably wins this battle.

Comparison of Isagenix and Amway – A Battle of the Premium Priced Products
Welcome to this comparison of Isagenix vs. Amway with their weight loss shakes. In the left corner for Isagenix is the IsaLean Shake, weighing in at 240 calories a piece. In the right corner, fighting for Amway is the BodyKey Meal Replacement Shake, weighing in at 160 calories.
All joking aside, these two weight loss shakes are some of the higher priced ones in the market, and stack up fairly well. We’ll go through all of the macro-nutrients, ingredients, vitamins, minerals and more so you can have a good basis to decide which one is better for you.
Here are a few of the initial major points that we saw comparing these:
1) Similarly Priced per Shake
The first thing we usually check out for each shake is the price for each. These two are definitely some of the higher priced shakes on the market, and for good reason. Both provide very high-quality ingredients, and each have fairly high reviews.
Although the Amway shake may seem initially fairly high price, when you break it down on a per-serving basis, they come out to about the same, at around $3.57 – $3.71 per shake. This is definitely higher compared to other shakes (the Herbalife shakes in particular), but both shakes are also higher quality.
2) Isagenix has More Calories and Protein
One thing we also noticed when comparing the macro-nutrients, was that the IsaLean shake had about 60% more calories than the Amway shakes, but over 9g more protein per shake. While the calorie difference is something to consider, we think that the protein content changes things significantly, because protein will keep you fuller for longer, and do better things for your body. In our opinion, this calorie difference is well worth it because of the extra protein.
3) Soy vs Whey Protein Sources
The last thing we looked at when comparing the Isagenix vs. Amway weight loss shakes was the protein source. Isagenix utilizes whey protein (milk based) while Amway uses soy protein for the main ingredient. There is still much speculation in the fitness community about which is better, but in general, whey is better in our opinion.
But if you have a specific allergy, specifically to lactose or to soy products, then this will come into play much more.
Summary – Isagenix for the Win
In the end, we preferred the Isagenix shakes because of the better macro nutrition and taste qualities. At a similar price point, we think that Isagenix is just a better product. Enjoy!
