Anybody Know About MonaVie Acai Blend Drinks?
I have a friend who has begun selling this Acai drink - he is making a decent living at it, claims it has a rich source of anti-oxidents and helps with a host of things. Its pricey.
The company is a multi-level marketing sales company making the various tiers money by increasing distributor numbers. Thats fine and all. I just want to know if this stuff is all they say it is or if it is a waste of money. Anybody know?

It is the latest big thing in anti-oxidant nutrition. Nothing more than that.

I've seen it help a lot of people (myself included), sometimes in a big way. I think the less balanced your diet, the more it can help. It's a quality product, combined with MLM (for better or worse). Bought in bulk, you can be drinking it for $20/bottle, which lasts about a week. Cheaper than lattes. The glucosamine in "Active" is excellent.

It's the latest Amway/MaryKay/MLM scam.
The stuff they sell may be OK, but the sellers are on the middle wedge of the ponzi pyramid. PLEASE! Notice the ad at the bottom of this page. Need I say more? |

Another one of those "healthy" things, that 5 yrs from now they will find out it's as bad for you as Dioxin.

Wow - it works for me.
Unfortunately it's sold through these multi level marketing places and my "suppliers" quit and move on. I just wish I could buy it from a shop. The stuff gives me a huge lift. I've tried other acai berry products but only the MonaVie product works for me. It's a combination of stuff that works as a very good blood purifier/antioxidant. |

Most run of the mill grape juice can provide the same good stuff. Costs a lot less too.
