HELP NEEDED (AGAIN)

Has anyone out there heard of and/or tried a health drink called Monavie? If so, I would love to hear all about it. I spoke to someone at my local support group who said she drinks it every day and has actually helped with her weightloss and overall health, I doi know it's a natural fruit drink, so any input would be helpful before I order it. Thanks. Joanne

Copied off the Website for MonaVie ? - A Healthy Drink For All MonaVie ? is a product with a purpose, and that purpose extends much further than the wellness of its consumers. MonaVie's ? roots are entrenched in the Amazon. This region is home to one-third of the world's species of animal and plant life. The health and well-being of the Brazilian rainforest directly impacts the quality and power of MonaVie ?. The Acai Berry is taking the world by storm, according to talk show diva Oprah Winfrey. "The acai berry is one of the most nutritious and powerful foods in the world... nature's perfect energy fruit. Rich in antioxidants, the acai fruit is a powerful anti-aging superfood. The acai berry has the most potent concentration of antioxidants of any natural berry available." MonaVie ? preserves the principles of balance, variety, and moderation. MonaVie ? seeks to define what genuine nutrients are meant to do: help the body perform at an optimum level. There is much science required to determine how to not under-aid or over-aid the body in its defense. With MonaVie?, we have created the team and completed the research that allows us to say with confidence: MonaVie ? has the RIGHT balance, variety and moderation. Step one was to find the perfect combination and variety of fruits, rich in pigments. If the right fruit was rare or expensive it still was to be used-compromise was not an option. Step two, puree them in their entirety-flesh, skin, and seed so as to capture all the rich nutrients. Step three, include the repairing benefits of Celadrin and Glucosamine enabling the body to enjoy the full benefit of these sometimes forgotten, yet wonderful fruits. And the final step was to elegantly bottle the juice with the natural ingredients that enable prompt results. MonaVie ? is an exquisite health drink packed with the power of acai berries, destined to make a profound difference in the lives of countless peoples of the world. The formulators of MonaVie ?, driven by a passion for helping humanity and brining abundance into the lives of many, have created the consummate blend of health-promoting fruits from the four corners of the earth. Dr. Ralph Carson and his team of experts have been studying people's health for years. A simple conclusion they made was that the majority of people simply were not enjoying the health enhancing benefits found in some of nature's most wondrous fruits. They concluded that the proper intake of the right variety and balance of exotic fruits could help individuals gain important nutrients that are so illusive in today's polluted environment. Together they made the ultimate discovery - a discovery that they believe can significantly impact the landscape of personal wellness. Here are 5 reasons why: Factor 1: The Exotic Fruits A common known fact is that individuals are not eating enough fresh fruit. The world has become more fast paced than ever leading to a people's choice of cheaper, processed alternatives rather than raw whole fruits. What these people are forgetting is that fruit and the nutrients they carry are vital to one's health and longevity. People have forgotten about fruit and their vital role to our healthy lives. Factor 2: Variety So now you've realized you need fruit and their nutrients. Many of us still wouldn't know what fruits to eat if they fell from a tree and knocked us in the head. There are fruits in this world that many of us would have a hard time finding, let alone pronouncing. That's where MonaVie ? comes in. The creators of this wonderful health blend have covered the 4 corners of the planet in search of nature's best and most nutritious fruits. They've discovered that many fruits should be included in our daily diets to help promote health and well-being. The trick was to put all the world's best fruits into one blend without having the fruits' effects cancel each other out. MonaVie ? was then born a legend. Factor 3: The Colors Believe it or not, the more colorful the fruit, the more nutrients it carries. Brightly colored fruit naturally contain high levels of antioxidants which help fight off carcinogens in the body. A brighter color and pigment generally means higher and more potent nutrient levels. Factor 4: Additional Help Being healthy doesn't always prevent your body from weakening. Your body undergoes vigorous wear and tear as the years progress. If damage is done, these is usually little that can be done to repair. Two natural substances are added to MonaVie? Active Blend which can aid in rejuvenation: Celadrin: Celadrin lubricates the body's cells and revitalizes the membranes that cushion the bones and joints. Glucosamine: Glucosamine restores flexibility of your joints and is the natural building block of healthy cartilage. Factor 5: The Acai Berry The Acai Berry is the crown jewel of Dr. Carson's findings and the most important ingredient of MonaVie ? blends. The Acai Berry has high amounts of anthocyanins, which acts as an anti-inflammatory. This fruit is an exotic berry found in the South American regions of the world. Price wise it runs about $40 - $45 dollars a bottle. Not worth it or it'd be Front Page News on the Health Journals.

Thanks for the info Mike, way too expensive for something that hasn't made that front page. I do know it's one of those pyramid marketing companies. There's always a catch.
