Vi-Shape Shake FAQ
1. What is unique about the Vi-Shape® Nutritional Shake mix?
There are so many unique benefits, and ingredients, so here are a few:
It tastes amazing. We call it the a. “Shake mix that tastes like a cake mix”. If you do a blind taste test vs. other shakes, you’ll see that many have either a gritty texture, can have a bitter or metallic after taste that lingers. Other shakes can smell bitter, or like chemicals. Ours is different because of the unique, high quality
ingredients that we use.
b. Our shake is lower in sodium, fat, and carbohydrates than other shakes. Many companies will use sodium to make the bland ingredients taste better, fat to make flavor carry, or add sugar to mask bitter notes. You can see from our comparison chart that we surpass the competition, due to our high quality.
c. Our shake is diabetic friendly. Many shakes use sugar, fructose, or other sweeteners that can spike blood sugar. This may result in low energy, hunger, and more. Ours has no added sugar, and is diabetic friendly.
d. We use 3 specially processed proteins. This provides fast, and long lasting hunger control, and can also help maintain lean muscle while targeting fat. Our shake has been specially processed to remove lactose, remove fat, remove carbohydrates, and remove isoflavones from the soy that can impact estrogen. Therefore, body builders, those sensitive to hormones can use our shake.
e. We include ingredients that other shakes don’t. We include digestive enzymes to help maximize protein absorption, prebiotics to support the bodies detox process and digestive health, vitamins, minerals, calcium, and more.
f. Affordability. There is simply no other shake that matches what we offer, for the price! By having a shake a day you can not only help fuel your body with powerful nutrients, but you can save money too.

3. How does the Vi-Shape Shake help me lose or maintain weight?
The shake can help you lose, or maintain weight depending on how you use it. To lose weight, we recommend using it in place of 2 meals per day, along with sensible snacks (like the ViSalus Nutra-Cookie™), and meal. You can use it for any 2 meals. To maintain weight, we recommend that you have 1 shake per day, and ideally for breakfast.
Why is this?
Well, if we compare the shake blended with non-fat milk (or soy milk, rice milk , or almond milk) and fruit, the shake will provide 20-25 grams of protein, a full serving of fiber, calcium, prebiotics, digestive enzymes, vitamins, minerals, and more, all for around 240 calories. If we compare that to an ‘average’ breakfast of a bagel with cream cheese, small orange juice and coffee with non-fat milk, you can see we provide more nutrition for less calories. The ‘average’ breakfast can add up to around 720 calories, and a whopping 880mg of sodium. So by having a shake, you’ll fuel your body, help keep your blood sugar level, and save calories to help you keep the weight off. We also recommend it for those people that don’t eat breakfast (almost 40% of adults don’t eat breakfast). By not eating
breakfast, the metabolism can slow and you may end up eating more calories per day while slowing the bodies’ fat burning system. Your body is like a car, it cannot run without fuel and it cannot be ‘trained’ to do without. So the shake once a day helps keep the metabolism going, keeps you energized, and helps cut calories. Twice a day and you’ll see greater results. And we also recommend Vi-Slim® to help burn calories without jittery feelings or stimulants, and Vi-Trim® added to the shake to help keep hunger at bay. These two products add powerful added support and can be bought separately, or as part of the Body by Vi™ Transformation kit.
4. Can the shake help me gain weight?
Absolutely! For those who want to gain weight, or even add muscle, the Vi-Shape™ Nutritional Shake mix can help Simply add a shake as a beverage with any meal, or use between meals. For those who exercise, having a shake mixed in water within 30 minutes of finishing a workout will find that it may help the muscles recover easier.
5. Is it nutritionally sound? Is it safe?
The shake is nutritionally very sound, and based on incredible science. It is based on healthy nutrition, and getting the daily requirements your body needs to feel healthy. However, those who are pregnant or lactating, gastric bypass patients, ulcer patients, and anyone known to have a medical condition should consult a physician prior to taking this product or any nutritional supplement.
6. Can I use only water for the shake?
The shake was designed to mix in water as a healthy snack, for after a work out, or to be mixed in milk/soy milk as a healthy meal (milk and soy milk provide more protein, and more calories). The goal is to not cut too many calories, or the body can feel that it is in starvation mode and slow the metabolism further. The U.S. government recommends that we consume a minimum of 1,200 calories per day. So if you do use the shake mixed in water, you may want to use 3 scoops instead of 2, or make sure you have a Nutra-Cookie along with the shake mixed in water to provide adequate calories.
7. I’ve tried other shakes, and they don’t taste as good. Why is that?
Our formula uses the highest quality proteins available today, and we worked very hard to ensure it would taste great. This is because we believe in proper nutrition. It’s our company philosophy to make the best products we can.
8. Why soy protein? Does it impact estrogen?
Soy is an excellent source of protein that delivers healthy heart benefits. Regular consumption of soy has been linked to helping reduce c-reactive proteins in the body, which benefit a healthy heart. Our soy protein is non- GMO (non Genetically Modified). It has been specially processed to remove the isoflavones, which are the active compound in soy that can affect estrogen.
9. Who should take this product?
Anyone interested in losing or maintaining weight, or who want to balance their daily nutrition with a perfect meal. We encourage those on serious medications, women who are pregnant or lactating, or those who are not in good health to consult a physician before starting our program, or any weight management program or nutritional supplement. The shake (with your doctor’s permission) is safe to use 1 scoop for children 4-12 for additional protein.
10. Why are the proteins unique?
Our proteins are high quality, concentrated forms of nutritional protein. They have been specially processed to remove fat, remove lactose, and remove carbohydrates. We also removed the isoflavones from the soy, to alleviate estrogenic activity concerns. This special processing leaves a purely great–tasting shake mix. This is why we call it “the shake mix that tastes like cake mix.™”
11. How many can I drink or use per day?
We recommend 1–2 servings per day of each product. However, you can take up to 3 packets of the Vi-Trim®, and you can use the shake for all meals if you desire. We recommend no more than 4 tablets of the Vi-Slim® per day.
12. Why artificial sweeteners?
To control calories, and the impact of sugar on glucose levels, we chose to use sweeteners. Many overweight people are diabetic, or borderline diabetic, and we did not want to have a product that they could not use. There is a lot of misinformation out on the internet about sweeteners, and there is no ‘perfect’ sweetener that can meet everyone’s needs. For example, xylitol and other sugar alcohols can cause diarrhea in up to 20% of the population, so it is not an ideal sweetener to us. Stevia has only recently been approved in the U.S., but is still pending global approvals. It can impart a bitter or licorice after taste that some people do not like. Agave has fructose, which can impact hunger. Sugar can impact blood sugar and impact tooth health. Aspartame is a sweetener that causes concerns for some people, as when it is heated it can degrade. We do not use those sweeteners. We use sucralose, which has been approved globally in over 60 countries, and has passed rigid approval processes for safety. It can be used hot or cold.
13. Why one flavor?
Our Sweet Cream flavor was designed to be mixed with fruit, yogurt, juice, or even into oatmeal if you want to add more protein to your diet! We also have our Shape-Up™ Health Flavors Mix-Ins, to help add flavor and nutritional benefits to the shake. Other companies may make you buy multiple canisters of product, which just sits there on your counter. We wanted to help control costs, and add fun to your day with our Health Flavors. Be sure to look in our program guide for many recipes to create nutritious and flavorful shakes! Or, add in our Health Flavors, use one, or create your own mixture of 2 or more for on the go variety.
14. Why a shake powder mix, and not ready to drink in a can?
The powder provides the best opportunity for you to mix it as you like, into non-fat milk, flavored or plain soy milk, low fat/low sugar yogurts, cottage cheese, or water.

I have a young son that is overweight. What is the best deal of a product for him to loose weight?
Young people who are overweight and still growing should drink one Vi-Shake a day. Depending on how obese they are, they may lose weight – but the real objective is to keep them from gaining any more weight so that they can grow up and into their weight.

Hello, I was wondering if using a lactose free milk would change the taste of the shake?
Hi Tori,
No, it tastes just fine that way!
The Vi-shape shake is lactose free, and we have many users who use the lactose free milk – as well as almond milk, soy milk, rice milk etc.
All are delicious!
Besides soy, what are the other sources of protein? I think it mentions 3 above and I couldn’t find the other two for some reason.
Hello Justin,
Its a patented Tri-sorb protein the in Vi-Shape shake that is made up of non-GMO soy with the isoflavones removed, whey hydrosolate, and whey isolate.
It is the fastest absorbed and best utilized by the body.
There is no other product that comes close to the quality of protein in the Vi-shape shake.
I cannot take any meds with stimulants or drink any caffinated drinks due to a heart irregularity that will speed up my heart with these items. Any problems with the shake with natural stimulants?
Hi Terri,
The Vi-shape nutritional shake mix contains no stimulants of any kind. It is perfectly safe for people with heart conditions.
I cannot take a lot of vitamins that are on the market due to the dye used in them. I have allergic reactions to the dye. I have been drinking a Vi-shape drink every day a I feel awesome. I have also lost 5 pounds in 4 days. Thank you

PS I am excited to get stated on the Vi-Shape Nutritional Shakes.

Hi,
I have a serious allergy to all nuts and peanuts, is this product safe for me?
There are no nuts or peanuts in the Vi-Shape Shake, but the bag does say processed in a facility that makes products with nuts and peanuts.
Wondering if any interactions have been seen with the shakes and Synthroid (thyroid medication)? Soy protein has been said to interfere with the absorption of thyroid meds. Any info?
Can Body By Vi Shape Shakes be used by people with Thyroid issues? How about people on Synthroid?
This question is often asked of Body By Vi Challenge Promoters. To get a definitive answer I went to ViSalus product developer Audrey Sommerfeld.
This was Audrey’s answer:
Our shakes can be used with synthroid. We have many people on our shakes that have over active, in active, and surgically removed thyroid.
There is a lot of misinformation and confusion about soy in the marketplace today. In countries where consumption of soy is high (like Japan) the populations are healthier and have fewer health issues than in America today. So we know that there is misinformation, and facts being taken out of context.
Of the concerns over soy, there are a few common ones. First, is referring to raw soybeans, that can contain a form of phytic acid that can block certain minerals absorption. However, that is based on massive consumption quantities, and of the raw soybean and only occurs in those animals that lack the digestive enzyme phytase. It is only an issue for people who consume those foods to get minerals in their diet, and in massive quantities. The issue is in developing countries, and may have a genetic basis as well because they are lacking the digestive enzyme (which can be supplemented and therefore alleviate the concern). It is not an issue for our products because of how we process the ingredients.
The second common concern with soy are due to some of the components of soy, particularly the isoflavones genistein and dadzein which can affect and inhibit thyroid peroxidase which is necessary for the production of T3 and T4. Thus there is some evidence that it could lead to thryoid enlargement (Goiter) . Our soy has been processed to remove the isoflavones, so this is not an issue.
A third common concern about soy is the effect it may have on estrogen levels in the body. This is again due to the isoflavones, which we have had removed. So this is a non-worry. We should note that many menopausal women do supplement with isoflavones, as it has been shown to help them experience fewer side effects of menopause.
Lastly, our Soy is not genetically modified (it is non-GMO). Many people worry about genetically modified soy, and if any of the ingredients got altered in the breeding process. We use the most natural form we can get, that has not been genetically modified.
We use soy because it is a complete protein, easily digested, can build lean muscle equal to (if not slighly better) than soy, and adequate consumption of soy in the diet can help the body reduce cholesterol and c-reactive protein an indicator of inflammation and heart disease.
Hope this helps.

Do you have any samples? I have bought many products in the past and disliked them;therefore, taste is a huge factor for me. I recently tried samples of Shakeology and I am happy I did not purchase it. The taste was horrible. If you can send me one sample packet, that would help.
Thanks,
Curious and hesitant
You can request a Vi-Shape Shake Sample from http://freesamples.visalus-shakes.com/
And I assure you – it is absolutely delicious!
LOL. I finally ordered some yesterday. Can’t believe I haven’t tasted it yet. Seriously. I even been to a Visalus meeting or two. I should have got this like a year an a half ago.
I’ve been in ViSalus a year, I love everything about it. I’m lactose intolerant and I barley eat meat, so ViSalus helped me get my nutrition that I needed. I really like how you advertised it like this and it also gave me more information.
Keep up the good work, you’ll go far.
I have Systemic Lupus and am currently in remission. While the disease is active, the drugs they give me make me gain weight. I put on a lot with the last flare. I have pain in my hips and it makes exercise of any kind painful and difficult. Will this product still allow me to lose weight? I think if I could drop the weight, perhaps my hips wouldn’t be giving me the problem they do and I could start walking again. I am on Social Security disability and this looks like something I could afford.
Kathleen,
We have had good reports from people with Lupus getting weight loss results with our products. My advise is to try it! Its guaranteed, so if you do not get a result, you can return it within 30 days for a full refund.
Do the shakes contain casein?
The Vi-Shape tri-sorb protein blend is made partly of whey – not casein.
