    Shame on you for being so negative and ignorant to the wonderful affects of Monavie. Every business is a pyramid scheme, Think about it. The owner makes the most money and answers to no one. Then the manager is under him and makes less money but only answers to the owner, then the assistant manager and so forth. At least Monavie gives you the chance to attain financial freedom by offering a product that really helps people. Im so tired of hearing, "the cost of gas is high" so why would people spend money on Monavie. Most people get a starbucks every morning or some form of coffee product ($3.50-$7), then there is the stop at the fast food place for lunch ($6-$9) and maybe an energy drink to give you that boost for the rest of the day ( $3-$5). How much does all that cost? Well I guarantee its more than $4.00 a day, which if you take the recommended amount of 2 ounces a day, that equals out to be $36 in 9 days. Well the bottle retails for $40.00 and it lasts 9 days when taking 2 ounces a day. Plus because of all the health benefits, you can stop taking things like other vitamins, sleep aids, energy drinks, and in some cases, people report doing away with high cost presciptions, just to name a few. What about botox and other skin treatment. One of Monavie's most noted qualities is its ability to keep your skin looking younger and healthier. The tribes that live in Rainforest where the acai berry, the crown jewel of Monavie, is found, consist of people that have lived on this berry their whole lives. Some of which are in their 50's and 60's with amazing skin almost No wrinkles whatsoever. In just three years this company has made over $1 billion in sales, surpassing ebay and Amazon and only 1 out of 100 Americans surveyed, had even heard of Monavie. Conclusion, Monavie has so much potential and at the rate it is going, it is speculated to become a Trillion dollar business in the next two years. I always wanted a job where I helped people, I made great money, and I loved what I did. With Monavie I have found my career, and I am so grateful to have found such an opportunity. If anyone wants to try Monavie, or inquire more information about Monavie or how to become a distributor then please feel free to check out my web page at www.the-team.biz/mv1371423. Also my email is skmonavie@live.com. If you have already done your research and would like to jump on board then go to monavie.com and use my distributor ID ( 1371423 )so you may enroll. Thank you for your time.

    Tony,

    What an ignorant, biased, un-researched article. What happened? Did you sign up for an MLM company a long time ago and fail at it because of your non-existent work ethic? And, since failing, did you decide to focus that non-existent work ethic to write for Newsweek?

    did look into gold shieldelite. To many pills and products. Pills dont work as well as juices. Also, been around to long , 20 years and not doing big,big numbers. Right now, the wellness/function beverage industry is booming. Should be doing better. Also, just to let you know, if you're not involved in the first 2 to 5 years in any mlm, you're chasing. YES they all work with the right amount of effort and time, but the average person will not put it in, They're looking for the fastest and easiest way. Most people like NEW and cutting edge. Just make it easier on yourself....

    Here is a short video of Dr. Lou Niles speaking about Mona Vie and health in general. Sheds a little insight into the product.

    Interesting that only 90% of the sales force is only drinkers. There must be some good to the drink if 900,000 people joined just to drink it. I'm sure as with any health product, that it won't have any huge benefits on everyone. but it looks like with MonaVie you are getting 19 servings of fruits, which can't be bad. I'll have to look into it.

    This is the story for all network marketing. The only people to hit the motherlode are the top echelon. I would estimate on average 95% of all network marketers make no money at all and discounts on personal use products is not income. This is especially true when you look at the grandaddy of the multilevel game now promoting it's business with major television commercials. This department store of offerings allow distributirs to buy name brands at discounted prices but when compared to standard retail at a chain store the prices for the same item are often higher at the so called discounted prices. Also the nature of the business makes you a pariah unable to relate to folks on a human level, everyone becomes a target to you and you end up hanging out in grocery stores and malls hoping to find an energetic person that you can spread your gospel of wealth, health and dreams come true. Yes this is the snake oil pitch minus the horse and buggy. I have tried the Mona Vie. It reminds me of prune juice but definitely not worth $40 a pop. Maybe $2 a bottle. Taste like prune juice with a little cherry thrown in. I added water and a citrus soda to it after I tried it for a period of time it determined on my own it is just fruit juice.

      Of course it's just fruit juice - that's what the company has been saying all along - 100% organic fruit juice. They never have and don't claim any magical cures - what they tell is the marvelous results people are getting from the juice.

    For a great product with many more health benefits, visit www.pulsateplus.com which is a sub web site to www.goldshieldelite.com and Goldshield is a MLM company that has been in business for over 20 years. By the way, pulsate pluse also has acai berries along with other excellent ingredients.

    After reading all of the comments posted about MonaVie, both positive and negative, there is only one thing we can say for sure. This company is doing SOMETHING right for so many people to take time out of their day to voice an opinion!! Go MonaVie!!

    P.S. MonaVie also contains Goji (a.k.a. Wolfberry), so there is no need to purchase a separate product!

    So is this stuff for real or not.
    I was talked about on Ophra and Dr. Oz

    • Posted By: the superjuice source @ 08/06/2008 3:04:57 PM

      It is for real yes. My name's Lance and I can answer your questions if you want to email me at thesuperjuicesource@yahoo.com Dr. Nicolas Perricone, Oprah's health guru, calls it the number one thing you can do for age defying beauty. What I would recommend is ordering at least a case from the website and trying it for at least a month, (1 case = 1 month per person.) If you want to order the juice, contact us and I can walk you through it. Or just click "enroll now" on the site at www.mymonavie.com/thesuperjuicesource

      Seriously, this is something worth trying for your health. It's not a cure all and maybe you've spent years probably not taking care of your body, but this will help your body start to repair the years of damage inflammation has done to it. There are proven studies, double blind, with Monavie that say it can kill cancer cells, even the company will allow us distributors to say this as you can find studies online.

      If there's something out there that can improve your health, possibly be a great preventative, and may make you look and feel better, why not give it a shot?

      again, our website is mymonavie.com/thesuperjuicesource

      Its for real.

    I drink and distribute MonAvie. I think it's a great Product before anything else, with Acai berries which is one of the highest in the antioxidant family of superfruits. But for all skeptics feel free to research antioxidants and free radicals--fyi: my parents have been lab technicians for the passed 20 years. I take it daily for the promotion of good health and the business isn't so bad either. I think it's an easy concept: basically refer friends who can tell friends and so forth--the more who join the better your profit potential or at the least "Free" Monavie for yourself and your family. Let me know who's interested...lol. I'm in the I.E. (Inland Empire) Southern California and I help my entire downline build their business so they can each earn commissions quicker with little effort as an incentive to join our team.

    I think people expect to feel "high" when taking a product like Monte Vie. If they don't feel high they think it doesn't work. Vitamins don't make you high but everyone knows they're good for you. The Acai berry is particularly high in antioxidants. That's all it is.

  • Posted By: KnowsBetter @ 08/04/2008 2:12:08 PM

    I am shocked that Newsweek didn't talk to someone from the FDA or FTC about how many regulations Mona Vie is breaking by allowing their product to be credited -- by their distributors -- with "miracle cures." I could be wrong, but I believe that's a felony-level offense!

    • Posted By: dsqard @ 08/04/2008 2:23:18 PM

      That is how the company insulates itself from the FDA. The company doesn't make the claims and the distributors don't work for the company.

      • Posted By: GetYourFactsRight @ 08/05/2008 2:46:30 PM

        Ya thats the plan dsqard, you figured it all out for us. The company takes each distributor aside and says, ok here is your list of stuff to post on our behalf so you can personally sheild us from the FDA and FTC. Great plan actually! Give me a break.

        • Posted By: dsqard @ 08/06/2008 3:01:01 PM

          The company doesn't have to pull anyone aside to encourage them to do that. In fact I am sure that they totally discourage that publically. The "distributors" do it all on their own so that they can make MONEY which is what this really is all about. Truth is, the only people making real money at this are the very top people in the company and I challenge anyone who is not one of the top ten people in the company to post a link to their 2007 taxes showing that they made a significant profit selling the stuff and distributorships.

    I drink Mona Vie, and I've had nothing but a good response to it. I haven't had headaches in the past 3 months, and I've been taking it for about 3-1/2 months. I used to get a migraine every other week. I had a mosaic plantar's wart on the bottom of my right foot, and after a month the wart disappeared. I had the wart for three years prior and tried all of the acid pads and freezers to get it off, none of that worked. Back pains have subsided... it's kind of ridiculous in how good I feel. I was a skeptic before too, but now I'll never stop drinking this stuff.

    As far as the article goes, it doesn't seem to be very well researched. It sounds like the writer just saw a rich white man who sells juice and made up his mind what he thought about it right there. He doesn't delve into the science of the juice, or even the nutrition. It sounds as though he's just posing a question, and not taking the time to try to find an answer. Kind of irresponsible.

    Exercise and proper diet is what really works. Taking monavie helps. For all those who think monavie is some great cure all, you're way off. Like I said, it will herlp and it is a GREAT business. Anyone who owns a business will tell you. Icant think of many better.
    Idiots will attack any product and every product is not for everone, Just like evryone is not meant to be financially free. 97% of the world will work for the other 3%. Most people will continue to do what their circle of influence does, therefore, will have the same results. They will call you crazy or stupid for trying something new. THEY are the crazy/stupid ones. Doing the same thing day in and out, yet expecting different results. Same routine, same results.
    The bad thing is we are all the same, body,eyes, mouth, we all bleed, yet some of us have better lives because of what we put in our heads and minds.WAKE UP life is short!!!!!
