    Great Scam. Sounds like a pyramidal business model with the top heavy people benefiting financially while the late comers benefit least.
    Why not just get a juice blender............

      Not typical, I'm making more than the person above me. It's all a matter of what you want to put into it. People get all wierded out by MLM's, but the fact is that everything...I repeat every thing (business) is a pyramid. Everyone is working for the person on top and the top keeps getting rich...uuuummmm this is a chance for not just the top to profit, but anyone willing to work.

    MonaVie is not touted as a cure for anything. MonaVie is a functional food beverage that contains high amounts of what the human body requires to function optimally and take care of itself. Think of your car running on poor grade gas or high octane. It runs in either case, just better in the latter. People will have different experiences with proper nutrition simply because all bodies are not the same. Their testimonies of the effects of MonaVie vary just as much as people's experiences. Most people don't give it a proper chance to undue years of poor nutrition. The business opportunity is the same. The people who don't do well want something to blame for their lack of whatever they lack.

    I'm holding a bottle in my hand right now and I have to tell you that this stuff is crap. Anybody that tries to extole the therapeutic virtue of MonaVie doesn't know the first thing about health and antioxidants in the first place. I say this because Monavie contains preserved esterified fatty acids, potassium sorbate and sodium benzoate. True, antioxidants are good for you, but preservatives can essentially reverse the effects of antioxidants. The only benefit of preservatives is that they make money for the manufacturer. You are better off spending $40 at trader joes.

    Just think of all the wonderful Organic grown vegetables and fruits you could buy for $40. and get the benefits of a much wider range of necessary nutrients for the body. Get smart people, they just want to relieve you of your hard earned money.

    I don???t know if these kinds of drinks cure everything, but everyone can agree that nutrition is essential for our bodies and health. Most of us could use some more fruit and fiber in our diets anyway.

    Try AlpineV and compare it to MonaVie. AlpineV is based in the ???Hippophae Rhamnoides??? berry and has more bioactive nutrients, more Omega oils, no cheap filler fruits, and no preservatives. The berry used in AlpineV has been used medicinally for generations in the Orient, including India where the berry is used in juice form as a nutritional supplement for military troops stationed in extreme climates. I think anyone who compares the researched nutritional benefits of these two berries will find that AlpineV can offer a better quality nutritional cocktail than MonaVie.

    There are alot of these liquid nutritionals coming out as a result of the huge earnings posted by companies like MonaVie and Xango and alot of valid testimonials to their effectiveness. Most of the drinks are based around a keystone fruit that is indigenous to some equatorial region. Certain fruits from these latitudes are able to grow in the highly intense direct sunlight of these areas because they have developed unique phytonutrients (phyto- : plant) that act as as sort of sunblock. As a benefit to humans, these phytonutrients are some of the most powerful anti-oxidants known to nutritional science. Hence, the catagorization: superfruits.

    The skepticism comes from bold health claims without explaining the science behind it, leaving the assumption that there is something magical about the ingredients. I am an idependent distributor for a liquid nutritional called Zrii and I know it has wonderful health benefits, but I also know that most of the liquid nutritionals available also have similar benefits.

    From a business perspective, these companies are going to redefine the way people view network marketing because most of them are very generous in their compensation plans while demanding very little commitment from their distributors. The days of having to buy a basement full of merchandise are over. All they ask is that you have your personal supply automatically shipped to you every month ($100-$160). High attrition rates are, more often than not, a result of people thinking or being convinced that they're going to make a lot of money with very little effort. I personally tell people that this industry does require a concerted, consistent effort, possibly equivalent to that of a regular job, but the payoff is something called residual income.

    Conventional business models are losing their appeal with the younger generations. The notion of being paid for years to come for work that you do right now on your own sounds alot better than an hourly wage, 9-5, and a boss. Integrity and understanding will find it"s way into this industry and people will start to lose their skepticism when they see that these companies don't just disappear like your travelling snake oil salesman.
    Email me at littlegoosy@hotmail.com if you have any questions about the nutrition behind these products or why this business model is going to be revolutionary.

    My husband and I have been distributors for about 5 months now. Though MonaVie doesn't claim to be a cure for any disease nor a form of medication. It is after all a nutritional food product,.I have seen for myself, husband and family the health benefits we have gained taking MonaVie. Does it effect those who partake of the product the same way? No. Do the research as MonaVie has done. It's a food with many health benefits. You decide for yourself. I have had the pleasure to see Dallin Larsen in action, he is truly a man with integrity and character, who has made a huge difference for the children of Brazil and the rainforest. Let's look at the good this company and the product is doing and not focus on the bad. This world is a better place because
    of people like Dallin and Carrie Larsen. For myself and my family we will continue to be part of the MonaVie family and at the same time enjoy the health benefits!

    By the way mivida08, its not like noni juice. Do the research. My friend did the investigation on noni. He works for health dept. Plenty of violations and fines. Also noni has been around for just over 15 years and only 1 millionaire. you do the math

    • Posted By: SUMMER77 @ 08/06/2008 4:47:55 PM

      CORRECTION: MONAVIE SHOULD NEVER BE MENTIONED IN THE SAME CONTEXT AS NONI. TAHITIAN NONI INTERNATIONAL HAS CREATED OVER 200 MILLIONAIRES IN ITS 11 YEARS OF EXISTANCE NOT 15. TNI HAS GROSSED OVER 2 BILLION IN SALES BUT UNLIKE OTHER JUICE COMPANIES-HAS PAID OUT A DOCUMENTED 53% OF THAT BACK TO THE DISTRIBUTORS OUT IN THE FIELD!! TRYING TO COMPARE MONAVIE TO TNJ IS LIKE COMPARING A BLACK CHRYSLER 300(MONAVIE) TO A BLACK BENTLEY(TNJ)--JUST BECAUSE BOTH CARS ARE BLACK, DOESN'T MAKE THEM THE SAME CAR OR THE SAME CLASS OF CARS!!(LOL)

    • Posted By: SUMMER77 @ 08/06/2008 4:29:34 PM

      CORRECTION: FOR THE RECORD TAHITIAN NONI HAS CREATED OVER 200 MILLIONAIRES AND HAS BEEN AROUND GOING ON 12 YEARS NOT 15. TNI HAS GROSSED OVER 2 BILLION IN SALES AND UNLIKE DISTRIBUTORS "NOT" GETTING PAID IN OTHER JUICE COMPANIES-TNI HAS PAID OUT OVER 1 BILLION TO ITS DISTRIBUTORS IN THE FIELD!! ***LAST NOTE-COMPARING MONAVIE TO T-NONI JUICE IS LIKE COMPARING A BLACK CHRYSLER 300(MONAVIE) TO A BLACK BENTLEY(TNJ), JUST BECAUSE BOTH CARS ARE BLACK,DOESN'T MAKE THEM THE SAME CAR OR PUTS THEM IN THE SAME CLASS OF CARS!!!(:

    sounds like amway to me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a farse!!!!!!!!!

    • Posted By: JenJenCar @ 08/06/2008 4:47:39 PM

      It's differnt from Amway. Monavie doesn't allow u to sign up with them if you are currntly workinf for Amway or if you have worked for them in the past 6 months. Also Amway takes your sales points away if you don't meet the quota meaning you lose money. Monavie doesn't take the points away. Your practically working for yourslf... but with a team...

    Ask God to confim whether it's legit? You've got to be kidding. Just save your prayers for 6 months from now and then you can ask Him where your checks and the people that used to be your friends are!!! Wake up!!!

    • Posted By: JenJenCar @ 08/06/2008 4:44:50 PM

      Are you shallow? Would you stop being someone's friend because they chose to sell monavie? In 6 months I'll be having to ask God to slow down the checks or send me a personal assistant because I won't be able to handle the large cash flow on my own, dear! And do you not trust that God reveals things to people? Can't make an unbeliever believe! Too bad for you.

    Other good anti-aging foods include sweet potatoes, broccoli and tomatoes. "[When eating] tomatoes, heat them up a little bit and put a little oil in them. It makes it easier to absorb the lycopene," Dr. Oz says. "Lycopene is another antioxidant, but it has additional benefits as well, which are particularly valuable for the heart."

    While he's mentioned many of these antioxidant-rich foods before, Dr. Oz is ready to introduce a new entry to his hall of fame???the acai (pronounced "AH-sigh-EE"), a small fruit from South American rainforests that is often found in the United States in juice. "It has twice the antioxidant content as a blueberry, so it's a wonderful alternative," Dr. Oz says. "Look at the food label and make sure they don't have too many carbohydrates in there. It's available in all major stores now. It's just sort of breaking through."

    I am one who drinks it first and swears by it and now I.ve become a distrubitor, because of it being a great product, according to any one I give it to, and because of the financial rewards..I'm ethical, professional and a business man and I would never waste my time, money and efforts, much less include my friends and family if I wasn't passionate about it. I will retire healthy in about a year, maybe a year and a half. Some of my friends already have. Come join me. Peace, Sam 8182880347
