Frequently Asked Questions About Xango / Zija International
What happened to Xango and Zija?
Xango and Zija merged in 2017, then Zija merged into Isagenix in 2020. In 2021, the FTC settled with Zija over deceptive health and income claims. The brands effectively no longer exist as independent companies.
Was Zija a pyramid scheme?
The FTC took action against Zija in 2021 for making deceptive health and income claims. While not labeled a pyramid scheme, the settlement addressed problematic business practices typical of MLMs that prioritize recruitment over retail sales.
Are mangosteen and Moringa actually healthy?
Both mangosteen and Moringa have some documented health benefits and are consumed globally. However, MLM pricing made these products far more expensive than similar supplements available at retail, and health claims were often exaggerated beyond scientific evidence.
