About Monavie Juice and Products

MonaVie is just one of the successful companies who have marketed a variety of health benefits out of nature's super fruits. Acai is the miracle fruit that Mona Vie uses for marketing leverage. The fruit actually have concentrated levels of anthcyanins, a form of antioxidant in fruits, the one that helps neutralize the effects of free radicals and pollution to the body. According to the company website:

"Through an exclusive freeze-drying process, MonaVie is able to capture the vital nutrients found in this delicate fruit. MonaVie's freeze-dried acai powder boasts an ORAC score (a measure of antioxidant power) higher than any other fruit or vegetable tested to date, on a gram-for-gram basis."

ORAC is an analysis that determines the level of antioxidant that is contained in a product. Their evaluative data is extremely helpful in finding the truth behind the advertising claims that most health-based products use to draw the public's attention and convince them to patronize their “miracle product”. ORAChydro* reflects the water soluble and the ^ORAC lipo reflects the lipid soluble antioxidant capacities of certain health products. Monavie juice claims one of the highest scores in ORAC results when it fact, the products Vibe with a total ORAC score of 153,746 and Mangosteen with a score of 81,842 have got the top scores. Mona Vie only managed to get a total ORAC score of 31,099.

Monavie Juice claims itself as a leader in producing health products, but the fact is that it ranks average among its competition in terms of RDA ingredients, fruits and natural extracts content, ORAC results and in product prices. For instance, in the recent RDA ingredient comparison done of major health products, Mona Vie plays weaker than its competition. The comparison was in basis of determining the presence of some of the essential nutrients which most people need for supplements, to enjoy better quality of life. Mona Vie claims to bring optimum health results ... by giving 4 g sugar, 1.2 mg vitamin C, 0.36 mg iron and a 4 g total carbohydrate. Under the RDA evaluation, only its competition product Vibe, Centrum, Bazi can give all or most of the 27 vitamins and minerals that are essential for healthy diet. According to a third party laboratory test that is participated by 10 most popular health products, Mona Vie ranks second, next to Vibe, when it comes to the measured actual quantity of fruits and natural extracts that are used in the product.

Sellers, Networks, Scams

Monavie has been recently attached to a number of law suits, all under the common grounds of misrepresentation, false claims and alleged selling scams. Just like in Amway, more than their products, the key to Mona Vie's success may be accounted to its network of sellers. It makes use of a specific and person to person method of distributing their health products.

However, the problem with Monavie has reached a greater degree. Just like all other multi-level marketing systems, some of the independent distributors of Mona Vie have complained of earning the least commission, as compared to those who are already in the "up line" who enjoys fats checks without doing a thing. The nature of complaints varies. But the problem is, the marketing system used by Monavie is legal. The struggle of those who are at the bottom of the network is that they can only earn if they can bring in more distributors. They can only earn more once their recruits yield sales. It is really hard to take leverage on money on others. As to Mona Vie's legal problems, a conclusion is yet to be determined.
