    Hey 2FTC,
    I dont believe you have done any true research on ACAI. The truth is that is is way higher on the ORAC than grape juice. What we need is a variety of fruits and with Monavies opti acai, we are getting much more Orac units than your local health foods acai juice which is not harvestes properly. This berry is obviously better than grape juice, that has to be the dumbest thing I have heard. Look for places in the world where diseases are not as prevalent, then find out why, then fiure out what they are eating. Brazil is a prime example.

    • Posted By: Report2FTC @ 03/12/2009 9:38:28 AM

      Ok if we are going to talk about ACAI, I couldn???t agree more about it being nutritionally good for you much like blueberry, oranges or apples. But when you talk about the Monavie juice that is a different story and full of hyped up stories at that. The ORAC studies you refer to are done in test tubes, so we will never know the true absorption rate of the ACAI berry. The human body can only absorb so much. Now with that in mind, let???s look at Monavie which we clearly see that it???s overpriced and full of other ingredients. Is that because the Monavie company understands the absorption rate of the acai berry is poor, so they had to substitute other ingredients? Yes??? When you add sodium benzoate, then Monavie just defeats the purpose of it???s effectiveness for the price you pay. The truth is acai can now be found in many nutritional drinks at your local supermarket for a fraction of a fraction of what Monavie cost and you know what your paying for. Monavie however, your paying for hope and hype. We do not know how much of the Acai berry is in the product, given there are a tone of other ingredients we can only assume its very little. Now lets talk about the grape juice. Give us a study that shows Monavie to be better than Grape Juice! The study done by ChromaDex (http://www.mensjournal.com/superjuices-on-trial) posted on the Men???s Journal Magazine that is not financially biased clearly shows Monavie is deficient compared to simple juices as Grape juice and Orange juice. Just goes to show the proof that Monavie is nothing more than Snake Oil supported by placebo effect, unethical medical stories to help make it sell in a pyramid scheme. The juice is just a concoction to hide behind the pyramid scheme. Is Bernard Madoff part of this? lol

  • Posted By: bamikels @ 03/11/2009 8:34:21 PM

    I would love to see this so called study by hromadex, which is a testing facility for another mlm product. Also, can one really expect to see a change in their body in two weeks. If they knew anything about how are body worked they would know that the headahes were a sign of the body detoxing itself if not due to the new glasses. Most cleanses take over a month alone. Monavie is truly a functional product and does stand true. YES it is a little pricy, but becuase the juice realy works, its easy to share and easy to drink for free. Unless you try it for 30 maybe 60 days you really are not giving the juice a chance to create an enviornment for your body to heal itself..

  • Posted By: bamikels @ 03/11/2009 8:29:28 PM

    You really expect something drastic to take place in yorr body in only two weeks. I think it takes longe rthan that just to detox the junk inside us, most detox products and cleanses are for a months duration.

    First of all , if someone is going to report on a billion dollar company, have the correct facts please! By the way did anyone know they went to a billion in three years and Microsoft(we all know how big that company is) took twelve years to reach that mark. I'm sorry readers---use your common sense--are there really that many people that can lie that good? Don't think so!! I think the "scam" would be uncovered by now--to do business like that there's gotta be a lot of people seeing actual results---think about it. This article totally backs up the misconception that MonaVie is a sales company--untrue--DRINK IT FEEL IT SHARE IT! not DRINK IT FEEL IT SELL IT! We educate people on basic nutrition and show them how to buy this product for themselves at wholesale--simple as that--this is not Avon, this is not Arbonne, this is not Tupperware, we are not running around selling bottles of juice-we don't even have inventory other than what we drink ourselves. I really wish reporters would get their facts straight!!!

    • Posted By: Report2FTC @ 03/11/2009 5:27:59 PM

      Shamac372,
      First off, Monavie has yet to outperform Microsoft as a billion dollar company. Reps are measuring cumulative sales to Microsoft???s Annual sales. Big difference! You are doing a great job of misrepresenting your business.

      I will reiterate facts from reliable sources like FDA, FTC and court cases.
      Lou Niles a so called Dr. that you will find on youtube and sales reps websites that is part of Monavie. The courtmartial case of the United States vs. Louis B. Niles, a former major in the California National Guard. with details on the rape committed by Louis B. Niles: http://www.armfor.uscourts.gov/opinions/1996Term/95_0738.htm

      Monavie has agreed to work with BBB on their misrepresentation on advertising and thus upgraded to a C-. The outcome is still pending.
      http://utah.bbb.org/WWWRoot/Report.aspx?site=139&bbb=1166&firm=21000953

      A study was done by ChromaDex that proves Monavie ranks below grape juice, orange juice and many other juices and it cost a fraction of a fraction than Monavie Juice.
      http://www.mensjournal.com/superjuices-on-trial

      FDA warning to one of Monavie's top sales reps for using unethical medical claims. More website are out there, being forward to the FDA.
      http://www.fda.gov/cder/warn/cyber/2007/UTVokes.pdf

      Quick do your part before more people are scammed out of hundreds of dollars off of worthless juice. Your better off getting the Acai berry in thousands of other juice products at your local grocery store for very cheap. It's the same Acai as Monavie. It still has the same low ORAC score than grape juice, low levels of proanthocyanadins than grape juice and the low vitamin C than Grape Juice.

    You know, I have been in the home construction business for fifteen years. In those years different bulders have come and gone. They charged a full range of prices for the essentially the same product. Granted some of the builders did not provide much value for the money, but more than not, they all attempted to do their best. I would place my service prices in the middle to upper end of the cost spectrum for our region. Now, I know for sure that other builders can provide a product very similar to mine and charge considerably less money. However, they are not the most personable of people, many times bordering on abrasize. So, my customers are willing to pay a little more for the same product because they get the satisfaction of doing business with me. I am very easy to work with, I listen to the customers needs, and I try to provide more value for the dollar, beyond that of the product. It's in the service! I was a consumer of the Monavie product for many months. When I compared it's cost to that of similar products from a health food store, I found that the cost per serving is actually less with Monavie, than any of the other "comparable" products. Plus, it gets delivered right to my door when I need it. So, if you factor in the cost of a half hour of driving, Monavie is even less costly than simple product comparison. But the truth is, facts don't really matter. If you want to believe something is too good to be true, then it probably is for you. The real question when it comes to the rate of dissention, is the 70% rate of quitting the business any different than the rate of any other traditional forms of business out there? Do your homework and you will see that the majority of business fail within the first five years. It's a measurable fact across the board that most people fail. So what! Does that mean that you will fail? I think not. You will only definitley fail if you don't try. I would like to see you do some investigating for yourself and figure out how many people Monavie has allowed to become "job optional." That means for most people bringing home mopre than $50,000 a year. Is it a hundred or more? How many people has Newsweek allowed to become "job optional" (aside from investors). It's funny how critics are blind sometimes. If my memory serves me correctly, the critics did not think Ray Kroc's idea was going to work. However, we all know it did work. And I know that his burger is not as good as the burger that I make at home for less money. Think it through, critic. Don't limit your options just because it did not work for you, or you know someone who tried and failed. Everyone fails! But some are fortunate enough to get up off their butts and try again.

    I drink MonaVie and I feel better than I have felt in years.
    MonaVie is made from an exclusive blend of the Brazilian aCai Berry. The aCai Berry is one of nature???s top superfoods. The ???blend??? is also made up of 18 other body-beneficial fruits, including cupuaçu, camu camu, aronia, acerola, blueberry, bilberry, and pomegranate.

    MonaVie's premier aCai blends are products with a purpose. From powerful antioxidant support to joint and heart health, each formula delivers key nutrients to help you maintain a healthy and active lifestyle.

    Supporting your body's antioxidant and nutritional needs with MonaVie is taking a Balanced-Variety-Moderation approach to nutrition. This premier formula delivers powerful antioxidants and phytonutrients to help fight free radicals and maintain your body's overall health.

    The key to MonaVie???s formula opposed to others is that as soon as the berry is picked they flash freeze it to keep the berry pure. Other formula???s either spray dry or air dry which causes the berry to loose some of the important antioxidants and phytonutrients it has.

    Yup Mona Vie is a choice! But I choose to go to my local health food market and buy Acai Juice for about $7 a bottle and
    dark cacao chocolate for around $10 a portion. This way I can incorporate it into many parts of my diet. I have a well
    paying job and I am college educated so my time is worth more than that of a salesman. So if you are not very creative,
    need a job, or are easily duped.... Go ahead, enjoy your MonaVie. If you need your health food processed and sexied
    up - well - YOU ARE THE PERSON THEY ARE MARKETING TOO! - lucky you!

      In response to: lbijake @ 02/24/2009 2:31:08 PM "Since you are college educated, it would be thought that you may know the proper use of the word "too".
      It's one sentence dummy.You were corrected...correctly.
      But you just don't get it do you? "TO" vs. "TOO"... DUH! Whatever... Don't get up! Take the hit dummy! Stay down!
      I know it's difficult for you, but learn something.
      What foundation of knowledge or experience do you draw yourstrong negative opinions from? Tell the truth for once liar.
      And how much time and money did YOU burn-up when you were: "Not very creative,needed a job, or were easily duped...."? Was it Amway? Herbalife? A.L.Williams?Tony Robbins Real Estate for Pennies, Quixtar, what?
      Let us all in on how you got duped.
      You are either KIDDING or LYING when you said:"I have a well paying job and I am college educated so my time is worth more than that of a salesman".
      It's no wonder you can' write, you can't READ either.
      Why would anyone give YOU a "good paying job"?
      I'm saying this because when you said, "that of a salesman", you seem to suggest a lack of respect for all salesmen, as if they were a Race of People that you have a knee-jerk reaction and quantify their "Worth" in existence by comparing your interpretation of the value of your "Time".
      As a salesman having earned well over the $425k bracket for the past 17 years, I doubt very seriously if your "Time" is really "Worth" very much at all. Except to you. And deep down inside, you know your time isn't worth the price of the paper this post is written on.

      By the way,what Correspondence College did you pay for those bragging rights? Did they let you grade your own work like you grade your self-worth? Or were you a "Home-School-Latch-Key-College Student"? Did mommy give you good marks so you would finally move out of her house?
      You certainly didn't learn a great deal about much about life. Somebody should stand you in front of a mirror so you can see some of your many shortcomings. Your total lack of humbleness for starters.
      Maybe you could "cash-in" some of your self-perceived, "Valuable Time" and take some real college classes, in a classroom. A remedial elementary English class for starters.
      However I must warn you; Spoiler Alert! Spoiler Alert"!! In addition to there being a "TO" and a " TWO".
      (There's also a "TWO" used in the English Language!).

      Again, take the hit and lie down.
      DUMMY!

          THEY SHOULD CHECK? THEY SHOULD CHECK? You should follow your own advice.
          :Look at your previous posting where you used the word THEN, try "Than" instead of "Then". You said: ???Your mistakes are more noticeableTHEN Nalamama's SMARTY. ???Than??? is the word you want when doing comparisons. But if you are talking about time, choose ???then???: ???Your many mistakes are even more noticeable than Nala Ibijake's incorrect use of the word "TOO".

          Question for you my dear:" ANY WAY"? Really? No really...Really?
          The adverb anyway is spelled as one word: The stuff is JUST JUICE, but we bought a case of it anyway. The two-word phrase any way means ???in any manner???: Get healthy, happy, and rich, any way you choose. If the words ???in the??? can be substituted for ???any,??? the two-word phrase is called for: Live your life in the way you choose. If the substitution cannot be made, the spelling is anyway:" Anyway, why don't you check your 2 postings."
          And while were on corrections, (you brought it all up sweetheart)...
          1) You misspelled GRAMMAR ! OMG ! You posted: "Wow is this a forum or a grammer test??"
          2) You also put a period where a question mark should be: "Any way why don't you check your 2 postings."
          3) AND...You didn't use caps where they should be. AND...you used caps where they shouldn't be.
          (that is, if you're referring to 'Nala Mamma's story: Smarty).

          You TWO are both TOO funny TO post comments regarding anything. Please stop. You're giving me a headache from laughing at something that is really sad. Does the juice help get rid of headaches? Spellchecker would.

And they are involved in a cause that will give hope to kids in the slums of Brazil for years to come.

    If you havent Tried MonaVie then you didnt Feel what it does for you...I had lower back pains and my 84yr old mom had body arthritis and suffered with alot of pain before it rained and after. In 4 dys drinking MonaVie we both were PAIN FREE.. Yes, I couldnt BELIEVIE IT, but I FELT IT...This is NOT a Scam or a Pymaid..Anyone can make it if they want to.
    The FDA approves DRUGS, not Fruit juices...There has been Studies etc. When I share MonaVie with someone I love
    and they tell me they are feeling Much Better, that's all I need to make me SATISFIED with MONAVIE...

    Dont Knock a Product if you dont know anything about it... MonaVie is not just any juice, but a BLEND of 19 Fruits that
    work together for better Health. The acai berry is 100% pure being that it's Freezed-Dried within 24-48 hrs after they are
    picked from the amazons Forests of Brazil.... Other acai products in the stores DO NOT COMPARE AT ALL with the Acia Berry in MonaVie.... NO ONE FORCED ANYONE TO DRINK MONAVIE, IT'S BY CHOICE.

      I couldn't have said it better. Thank you. No one forces any one to try it. The reason I did is because I am just tired of hurting all the time. I was willing to try anything. When a co-worker gave me a bottle to try, the first couple of days was like am I imagining this or has my pain subsided. I know its not a cure, but the results I get from drinking this is enough for me. It's the quality of life I'm looking for not the how much money you can get out of this. If you hurt no amount of money matters.

    Scam? Ok.........sure..........I'm making money and feeling better. I don't twist anyones arm and I've never tried to sell it. I do consume it for me and my Fibromyalgia, depression and asthma are a lot less problematic for me since I've been drinking the juice. Perhaps it's the placebo effect.........perhaps not. Believe what you want........do what you want...........it hurt me none. I'm saving my kidneys and liver by not taking the 15 medications I use to take and I have NO side effects. What do you take for medications and what are you taking to counteract the negative effects of those drugs? As a nurse, I prefer natural as opposed to man-made or altered. Mona Vie is not scam but go ahead.......report it to the FTC. Blessings to all!

      I saw your comment and immediately thought about a book I just read about bio-identical hormones. Your fibromyalgia, depression, and asthma are all symptoms of a lack of progesterone. I dont' know if you'd be interested in reading the book. It's by Dr. Michael Platt if you want to look it up. I'm a nurse as well and I found the book to be very enlightening. If you have any questions, feel free to email me at sweetpeabrooke22@yahoo.com.

      After reading your post, I think you might find it more useful to do some research about bio-identical hormones. Your symptoms are classic signs of a lack of progesterone. I don't know if you'll ever actually see this comment, but I hope you do. If you have any questions, feel free to email me at sweetpeabrooke22@yahoo.com. I read a great book about bio-identical hormones recently by Dr. Michael Platt and I think that you might be interested in his work, especially being a nurse!

    Mona Vie is more than just acai in a pretty bottle. There are 18 other wild fruits that when mixed together create a full color spectrum of powerful nutrition. My family has studied and consumed many health beverages over the years and have had good results from some, but Mona Vie gave us the most profound results. There is a reason company sales hit 1 billion in only 3 1/2 years. The product rocks and people are talking about it. It's human nature, when you reach the top, there's always someone trying to pull you back down.

    It is unfortunate that those who feel this is simply just apple and grape juice don't take the time to fully research this product and it's ingredients. Yes ... this is a fruit juice that in fact contains 19 fruits and berries high in anti-oxidents and anti-inflammatories (mostly composed of the acai berry!)and it does not cure, prevent or treat illness but what it does do is provide the body with nutrition it lacks and loads one with precious anti-oxidents.
    We were extremely skeptical about this product and business at first but once we did our own research and personally drank the juice for over a year now, believe in it whole heartedly and have never felt better.
    We can not put a price on our health or our children's (how much do you spend at starbucks everyday?) so for us it is certainly worth it!
    I would encourage you to look at this more closely and see why there is good reason thousands of people a week are signing on to drink this product.
    We too had doctors look at it and they gave it rave reviews!
    You certainly can't believe everything you read these days but this is the real deal.

    I cannot believe that people are paying so much attention and money for this fruit juice! I just read the Wikipedia entry on this and it, like so many "Power Juices" out there has most of it's bulk in cheap apple and grape juice. Any berry juice/jam/fresh will give you antioxidents comparable to the berries in MonaVie. Don't waste 45 bucks on this!
    The positive testimonials are probably due to their newfound healthy eating pattern that naturally would coincide with drinking this product. People that don't have fruit everyday will say, heeeeyyy, this stuff is a MIRACLE!!! LOL!!!

    I have had a Medical doctor look at the ingredients and study the formula and he came to the conclusion that it can't hurt you; especially when taking the 4 oz a day is the equivalent of 13 servings of fruit. The antioxidant level in this one bottle is thousands compared to just one apple which only has 10 points of antiox. There are 19 fruits, but the main on in the Acai berry. They don't just "juice" the fruit, they use all parts of every fruit, the skin, inside and seed. That's only the medical aspect. I can personally say that my aunt is making $200k/year and my father who is only 3 months into it is quickly building his business. I have now personally seen the results of MonaVie and am currently trying to arrange my schedule to be able to share this secret with as many people will listen!

    There will always be those who will try to find excuses to the true success of any company when it comes to network marketing. As the saying goes, "Winners take responsibility, whiners find excuses." If you gave Mona Vie a chance for yourself and really feel the difference, you will see why it has become so successful. Why people love sharing this with their friends. If you were to say most companies are pyramid scams then consider Mona Vie as one that came along with a truly exceptional product that wasn't all hype and marketing. What if it really works?

    I'm trying to find out myself, see my blog at http://monavie.chillpandadream.com/ddo/
