    I live next to a guy who sells this stuff right here in Utah. It's so frustrating because we can't have a conversaton without him trying to get me to buy it. So finally I caved in and bought two bottles. The taste is alright, but I didnt wake up in the morning with super human powers or anything spectacular, I woke up with diharrea. It's cleans you out that's for sure. Just go to a health store and buy their fruit juice and you'll save money and a trip to the toilet.

    My only regret with Monavie is not getting in earlier-We hear all the negative...Then we see the positive efects it has on people. I drink it, my kids dring it its juice! I can't buy all this fruits even if I wanted to save the money and eat them fresh because there are not available everywere. I like the extra cash and I like the people

      I go to my local Farmers Market, very inexpensive and cost effective. Nutritional fruits and Veggies! Beats and over the sea product any day and I don't have to be involved in a pyramid scam.

    Learn for yourself and change someone's life. That is the potential. I have seen it happen and that is worth more than all of the money in the world. If you were a rich man with no health...wouldn't you give all the money back just to have your health. Your body is worth it....do not be fooled by the scam chatter...people are inherently negative and discouraging...Be a light to someone's life and that will make you a believer. mymonavie.com/livemvlife feel free to send comments to livemvlife@yahoo

      Successful businesses always have enemies. Monavie is making news, but this article is not the only negative reporting, there are others... but, there are positive articles about Monavie that out-number the negative by the thousands. The truth is, there are thousands of distributors who aren't at the highest 1% level of making money from Monavie for many reasons. 1. They are just drinking it for the health benefits and have no interest in the business of Monavie. 2. They are new to Monavie and the business - and like anything legitimate, it takes time to build a business.
      My own story about this wonderful product is too long to share- I can tell you that my son's allergies are increasingly better, my lower back pain has disappeared along with some of my extra weight, and I feel confident that my carb-eating 9 year old is getting the proper nutrion she needs to become a healthy young woman.

    It may be good for you, but it is also NASTY....I even tried diluting it with water/other juices/whatever else was in the refrigerator....still bad. I would not recommend it.

      Well, everybody is entitled to their opinion, but I thought it was pretty good...

      • Posted By: LC08 @ 08/05/2008 10:06:18 AM

        My kids spitted the stuff out in front of tent these people where selling it front of. Needless to say, they didn't get anymore people at their tent to taste the stuff the rest of the day. That should say a lot right there if kids don't like the taste. Luckly I had my camera to take pictures of the tent and claims of cures. I turned it in to the FDA!

        • Posted By: Oneatatime @ 08/05/2008 11:32:58 AM

          Most kids don't like anything that is good for them. MonaVie is not watered down apple juice. I have three boys, 8, 10, 12, and I don't even have to remind them to drink their juice. The love it as do I, and love the taste. As for the claims and cures, I can only speak for myself, I had KP (inflammation of the hair folicale on my arms and legs) it is gone! Nothing elese worked, not even the expesnive creams perscribed by my doc!

            The juice is a quick concoction to build a pyramid business. Kids can sense that right from the taste of the juice.

    All I can tell you is that there are over 10 people I personally know who no longer suffer from psoriasis or excema BECAUSE they consume MONA VIE!! So when a 5 yr old little girl tells me she no longer scratches her arms and bleeds - because she drinks 'the juice' ... that's rewarding. www.mymonavie.com/organicsuperjuice

    MonaVie has too many illegal issues. Check out one of their Cyber Warnings from a year ago.

    Thank you StacyW.

    Do you Reps who are making claims and putting your information on this blog know when this company gets shut down you will get over a thousand calls from other opportunity seekers in the MLM Pyramid World if your not in jail with this scam. When SeaSilver was shut down by the FDA for the same reasons as to what is happening to MonaVie, the company stopped everying without notifying the reps and the customers. And a lot of Reps had to pay out a fine and some went to jail. I hope you all have a good lawyer!!!!!

      I looked on both of those websites. Do not have anywords for yourself? You just point people to another source of information because you could not think of anything yourself to write. How is monavie a scam? Are you a scam? Well lets hear what you sell. We are all in sales whether you like to think you are or not. It is funny to read some of the things people write.

    MonaVie indeed DOES work, if you take it properly and give it time to work.
    Here's why, read my personal story:

    Amazon Thunder Acai Puree is also Organic and Kosher

    Acai is a wonderful Brazilian berry, and I have heard so many wonderful testimonies from people who take Acai. But you need a decent serving of Acai, and that you wouln't get from monavie, unless you drank a bottle a day or more. They do have 18+ fruits and water in their product. Think about it...how much Acai can they actually put in there? Look up Amazon Thunder. They sell a thick puree of Acai. This is the real deal. Just try for your self. Also, their puree is just that. Acai puree. Monavie uses a freeze dried powder in their fruit punch. Not even the puree. Though if you like the powder, Amazon Thunder sells that as well, and without carriers or fillers. Again, compare for yourself.

    300,000 articles saying eat more fruit and prevent cancer. How much more peer reviewed journals do you need? What a ridiculous statement? Does science have to prove everything for you? Science is bias according to the outcomes they want to achieve. Keep popping your pills with the hundreds of warning labels...Ill eat my fruit that god put on earth...which is the way it was all designed in the first place.

  • Posted By: mikeyatl @ 08/06/2008 9:00:51 PM

    Mona does not divulge the amount of Acai in thier blend. The others use 100% of the fruit as well. Never bashed Mona, its an awesome product, just overpriced, and theres better out there. Don't worry, you'll be fine..

    • Posted By: ACAIRN @ 08/06/2008 9:19:28 PM

      FYI- Monavie is the only product out their that uses OPTI-ACAI the patent pending freeze-dried Acai which retains 100% of it's nutritional value and has been studied extensively by Dr. Scahuss. Not all acai is created equal- 100% spray-dried acai only retains 30% of it's nutritiona value. There is no better product on the market. In life you get what you pay for..don't be fooled

      • Posted By: mikeyatl @ 08/06/2008 9:44:31 PM

        I'm sure we'll trademark a cool name for why our product is "special" but it does not really matter to me. I know the product works for me and my family, and has my dad off his cane. I'd rather be in on top of a MLM than have a cool trade name and superior sales pitch anyways. So yeah, believe what you want !!

        • Posted By: ACAIRN @ 08/06/2008 10:14:17 PM

          No sales pitch just scientific facts published in peer a reviewed publication " Journal of Agriculture and Food Chemistry". I only believe that which is backed by science not something that is hyped by someone trying to market his inferior product.

    It has really been an amazing product that provides us with our daily fruit servings a day. I know, I know it sounds like everything else you have probably heard about before, just another miracle drink. I thought the same thing when this juice was shared with us. I am completely sold on this product and amazed by how much it has improved my family???s health. I am not asking you to do anything more than check it out for yourself. If our roles were reversed, I would hope that you would share it with us to check it out. The proof is in the pudding as bubba gump says. Your body is worth it...it is just fruit how can you go wrong. mymonavie.com/livemvlife. livemvlife@yahoo.com.

  • Posted By: livemvlife @ 08/06/2008 9:59:10 PM

    Just over a year ago we began drinking a juice called Monavie. mymonavie.com/livemvlife. If you drink four ounces daily of Monavie that is equivalent of eating 13 serving of fruits and vegetables. My wife and I have been drinking it for a little more than a year. We even give it to our 9 month old son, because we know the importance of healthy fruits (organic) in his system. It has really improved my health. I drink a little more than 4 ounces a day, because I love the unique taste. My blood pressure and cholesterol have decreased without taking any medication, I have lost approximately 20 pounds, and I just wake up feeling awake and refreshed. Feeling awake and refreshed would have been enough. livemvlife@yahoo. Your body is worth it, how can you argue with that it is just fruits.

    Good for Dallin.. He's a smart dude.. marketing Christ in a bottle. Problem is that the Mona bubble will max out and pop., Theres already better priced more comprehensive products like jus 23 that have improved the Mona model. people will get hip to this soon, and those 99 percenters that dont make comissions will jump ship collapsing the structure from the bottom up. Dallin does not care, nor do the Black Diamonds. they will have become obscenely rich by then and be able to retire and never work again !! Its awesome for them.. Crazy that a dang juice peddler can swipe over 1M per year in this crappy economy !! Its truly the American dream.. Bravo !!

      hey mike go do amway you sound like a pyramid dude with attitude thats what that company is all about.! Im sure you can build a big business with that pyramid deal.
