Medical Disclaimer

The Company (“We”) recommends that you consult your healthcare provider prior to starting any weight loss program, and during the course of your weight loss program. Do NOT use any OPTAVIA® Program, Plans, Products or Kits if you are pregnant or under the age of 13.

Before starting a weight loss program, talk with your healthcare provider about the OPTAVIA Program, Plans, Products, and Kits as appropriate, and about any dietary supplements or medications you are using, especially Coumadin (Warfarin), lithium, diuretics, or medications for weight loss, diabetes, high blood pressure or thyroid conditions. Do not utilize any OPTAVIA Program, Plans, Products or Kits until you are cleared by your healthcare provider if you have or have had a serious illness (e.g. cardiovascular disease including heart attack, diabetes, cancer, thyroid disease, liver, or kidney disease, eating disorders such as anorexia or bulimia), or any other condition requiring medical care or that may be affected by weight loss.

The OPTAVIA for Teens Plan is the only OPTAVIA Plan appropriate for teens (13 to 17 years of age). The Optimal Weight 5 & 1 Plan® is NOT appropriate for teens, sedentary older adults (65 years and older), nursing mothers, people with gout, individuals with Type 1 diabetes, and those who exercise more than 45 minutes per day or participate in high intensity activity – if you fall into one of these categories, please consult your healthcare provider, refer to OPTAVIA.com and talk with your independent OPTAVIA Coach about other OPTAVIA Plans that may be appropriate. For special medical or dietary needs, including food allergies or decreased appetite with weight loss medications, refer to our program information online, consult your healthcare provider and talk to your OPTAVIA Coach. Do not consume an OPTAVIA product if you are allergic to any of the product’s ingredients, which are listed on the product packaging and on the OPTAVIA website.

We recommend drinking 64 ounces of water each day. Consult with your healthcare provider prior to changing the amount of water you drink as it can affect certain health conditions and medications.

Before taking any dietary supplement or changing your dietary intake, or starting a weight loss or exercise program, we recommend consulting with your healthcare provider first, especially prior to starting any OPTAVIA ACTIVE® Plans and Products or OPTAVIA ASCEND™ Daily Nutrients Pack. Clients should seek professional support for specific exercise program prescriptions. The Optimal Weight 5 & 1 ACTIVE Plan™ is not appropriate for those who exercise more than 45 minutes per day or participate in high intensity activity. OPTAVIA ACTIVE products and OPTAVIA ASCEND™ Daily Nutrients Pack (Multivitamin-mineral supplement and Omega-3 supplement) products are not recommended for individuals under 18 years of age.

NOTE: Rapid weight loss may cause gallstones or gallbladder disease, temporary hair thinning, or muscle loss in some people. While adjusting to the intake of a lower calorie level and dietary changes, some people may experience dizziness, lightheadedness, headache, fatigue, or gastrointestinal disturbances (such as abdominal pain, bloating, gas, constipation, diarrhea, or nausea). Consult your healthcare provider for further guidance on these or any other health concerns. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience muscle cramps, tingling, numbness, confusion, or rapid/irregular heartbeat as these may be a sign of a more serious health condition.
