A Drink’s Purple Reign

The criticism of Monavie is entirely deserved. A bigger scam I can't imagine! Fruit punch for $45 a bottle? Miracle cure? Puh-lease! Do any of the distirbutors who are posting these spam testimonials seriously think that they are going to convince anyone here to buy this snake oil?

I've been drinking Monavie for 2 months now and I can speak of how it has benefited me. I feel more energized, the ani-inflamatory properties of the Glucosamine sure have helped with the inflammation in my sinues that I have had problems with for YEARS!!! I'm breathing better that's for sure. And there are plenty of studies to prove that the Acai berry is high in antioxidants. Why not drink juice that tastes good and I enjoy rather than swallowing handfuls of vitamin pills every day, that I usually forget to take and are not absorbed into my body anyway. That's more of a waste than drinking Monavie every day. I feel better, it's not a miracle or anything, but it is healthier and I'd rather give that to my kids than most of the other junk they eat and drink. My entire family has seen positive impacts in one way or another from it because when you make your body healthy, your body does all the work in fending off sickness.

I have recently been approached by a good friend to explore the benefits of consuming and sharing the MonaVie product. His family had been involved in Amway for many years but he never asked me to join him in that business. The product seems to be healthy (19 fruits certainly can't hurt you) and is definitely better for you than Cola's or Red Bull (remember its claims...It gives you wings!). Society consumes millions of beverages every week (some not so good for you) and none of us get a chance to make any money off this. If you can share a good product and build a network of people that believe in better health and making a few bucks....then try it out. If it doesn't go so well, maybe your just not good at it. Don't blame the product, Red Bull had marketing hype...MonaVie has income potential. All I know is I would rather consume/recommend something good for me and make a few $$ at it then consume condensed caffeine (Commonly reported adverse effects due to caffeine used in the quantities present in Red Bull are insomnia, nervousness, headache, and tachycardia) and help the Red Bull boys keep their rankings in Forbes (In 2008, Forbes Magazine listed both Chaleo and Mateschitz as being the 260th richest persons in the world with an estimated net worth of $4.0 billion)

I am a Mona Vie distributor. I found this article about 10 months ago when I was approached regarding this product. I presented this article to the person that pitched me on it with the same negativity that a lot of you have, but figured I would give it a try. Without giving you all the details from then to now I will say that I liked the influx of energy it gave me. My wife actually agrees with me on something (that's a first). If anyone believes this is a miracle product, get your head out of the clouds. The person who introduced me to Mona Vie didn't promise me great things from it, just that it made him feel better so why not me too. On a different note....my wife and I started taking Mona Vie last September and 2 months later she got pregnant. I am not saying this juice makes you more fertile but after 6 years of my wife not being able to conceive, I now believe I should have listened to my wife and got snipped. LOL. I am probably the companies worst sales person because I am not marketing it, and have only signed up 2 people under me. I use the product for my own benefit and pleasure. If you don't like it or care to use it....don't, but don't bash the product just because you don't like it or the person who pestered you to sign up.

It's obvious you have no idea of what your talkiing about. Explain to me what a pyramid is considering you know it all. Grape Juice ? okay call it what you want but I know better. Not only do I drink it and sell it but I have several customers who have benifited from your so called grape juice. I can give you countless testimony on the effects this product has had on my severeal customers. Better yet why don't you ask a doctor the benifits of this so called grape juice. Put your head back on your shoulders and join a winning team and product.

when will people learn to spot a pyramid scheme......if this grape juice could cure cancer it would be sold in stores.........people are so despreate to get rich without actually having to do any work

wow.... when will people learn to spot a pyramid scheme,,,,,if this grape juice really did cure cancer and do all the things its hyped up to do it would be sold in stores....heres an idea lets not put our hopes of riches in get rich quick schemes and miricale cures and actually do what it takes to become succesful......work hard

SHAME ON YOU!! How did you become so hardened, and how on earth were you allowed to publish such a slanted, misquoted, and terrible article?! You ought to be ashamed. You obviously never tried the juice, and never had a loved one suffer while standing by feeling helpless. When you do, and chances are good that you will, I hope you will soften a bit enough to reconsider your harsh and WRONG conclusion of this incredible product AND company. Your credibility as a writer of factual truth has just been flushed.
You didn't research, or you would have found many thousands of men, women and children who's lives are in a sweeter place because of Dallin Larsen's vision and work, and the absolute first rate product his company has introduced to hurting people. I hope someday you get the chance to hear the stories I've heard, and SEE with your own eyes the grateful faces of friends and loved-ones who get a chance to live without pain and medications for the first time in their lives. I can only repeat, Shame on you!

Yeah...let's not spend $40 dollars on a drink made of fruits. Let's spend it on refined sugar, saturaded fat, trans fat, high sodium, cholesterol medicine, insulin, gastric bypass and yes...hopefully you health insurance!

This Newsweek article on MonaVie is appalling! MonaVie has done an unprecedented 1.5 Billion in 4 years and seems to be one of few positive things that is growing faster now, while nearly everything else in this economy is unstable and falling apart.

This article on MonaVie doesn't seem to be at all in line with reality, science, facts or results. If in doubt about MonaVie, the acai berry or other areas of this subject - check our RealHealthAnswers.com and start looking at the facts, not what a lone warped writed with an agenda babbles with the misaligned expectation of people's intelligence that is a disgrace to Newsweek.

I believe the anti-cancer, anti-inflamation and all the wholistic benefits of the antioxidant are real and Acai juice has one the highest ORAC counts of any food. There are countless studies of how antioxidants prevent and even reverse cancer. However, the problem with products like MonaVie is it's a juice BLEND, and I believe acai juice isn't even the first ingredient. If you ask MonaVie they will not tell you citing it's a "proprietary blend". Many manufacturers of "proprietary blend" products will at least tell you the decending order in which the amount of each ingredient is in the product. Vitacost.com sells 100% pure acai juice for like $16/bottle and it will last a whole month also. So, is the MonaVie "miracle" real? Maybe, maybe not. But it's a heck of a lot more expensive than pure acai juice.

My opinion is this is just product marketing at it's best, which I really don't have a problem with. However, if you really want all the claimed benefits of MonaVie juice I believe you can get it and more with one trip to your local farmers' market and a new juicer. I will say that the fact that the FDA is harassing them gives them some credibility since the FDA doesn't like anyone encroaching on Big Pharma's market share.

Hey Tony - Did NewsWeek pay you to write this? What is your compensation plan like? How many hours a week do you work? Does your employer have a nutrutional beverage like MonaVie? Your article, though not very well written, is just another example of how someone can make uneducated opinions and put them out to people. So I have to ask, what qualifies you to be a writer? Or even write an article about the fastest growing company on the planet like they were used toilet paper?

Maybe you should revisit MonaVie and get the real story and the whole truth? i will assume you are apart of another network marketing company based on how you can demoralize thousands of great people making a difference in todays world. So whats your security net?

All of this is truly hilareous.
