Has anyone tried the Mona Vie Juice? I have been taking it for about three weeks and Love it. Anybody else getting good results or even heard of it. This is the Juice with the nineteen fruits but, the main one is the Acai berry    Moore

My ex gave me a bottle and I can't get into a routine of drinking it.  She swears by it though.

Look at the bottle and see what nutritional items are in the bottle. I had a client of mine want me to try this and I asked her for a nutritional supplement fact sheet. I finally got one, and there are minimal vitamins in it. I think it's basically a nicely flavored fruit drink. There are many brands of health drinks out there, but here are the Mona Vie facts I just found:

Each one ounce serving of Monavie has 20 calories, 0g fat, 0mg sodium, 4g carbohydrates from sugar, 0g protein, as well as 25% RDA for vitamin C and 2% RDA of iron.

The potassium level in MonaVie Original and MonaVie Active is approximately 56 mg/oz. The vitamin K level in MonaVie Original and MonaVie Active is approximately 12.4 µg/oz. Vitamin D = 30 IU per one ounce serving Vitamin A = 50 IU per one ounce serving Calcium = 10 mg per one ounce serving Although it has exotic fruits, such as acai, mangosteen, wolfberry, etc. so do many other drinks, including the liquid vitamin that I take, as noted on my profile page. Match these meager supplement facts with the fact sheet on the liquid vitamin I take or any other vitamin. Movavie costs a lot more than other drinks out there, and the suggestion is to drink at least 2 oz daily, whereas I get multiple doses of my daily RDA vitmains in one ounce.   I don't think the money spent on the Mona Vie is worthwhile, due to relatively poor nutritional value.

One additional note: the web sites that promote the Mona Vie do not list the nutrional facts on their sites at all. I looked at probably 25 sites, and could not find any of this information. It was only when I wrote to the woman who wanted me to try and sell this product, that I recieved an answer. I put in "nutrional supplement facts of Mona Vie" and found the information I pasted in my previous reply. This was found on site where a woman was curious about the nutrional information, and she too received only an email reply with that data. Seems they don't really want you to know what vitamins or minerals are actually in this over priced drink.

I have had many friends jump in to this multi-level marketing scam.  I was duped back in the late 90's and was selling a colliodal mineral drink.  They didn't have any nutritional facts either.  Well a few years later that product is gone and so is the MLM that sold it.  The gentleman who said they don't post the nutritional facts is absolutely correct.  It certainly is not in their best interest to tell you there is nothing in that expensive bottle of juice.  This type of business appeals to greed and emotion.  There is just no substance to what they are selling.  I am sorry if I am offending anyone, but it really saddens me to see people taken advantage of.  These groups are more of a cult than a business. Keep your BS detector on and if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

WAY too expensive for any added benefits you might get.

Thanks for all the info everybody. I appreciate your responses. I still can't deny the benifits that I have been seeing with this product though. Initially it cleaned me out pretty good. Then came a significant amount of energy. My Mother has had benifits in the way of lower blood suger, a loss of water weight, and a reduced appitite plus energy. My brother has seen simular results also being a diabetic and having high blood pressure along with gout.  Being on the weight loss  roller coaster all my life and being in athletics most my life I have tried plenty of products. This one seems to good to be true I must admit  it but, I can not stop taking something that is helping myself and others. I will keep using it for now and update you guys.

Dave Chanbers, I notice you are selling a liquid vitamin supplement. I noticed that is has RDA reccomended amounts of vitamins etc. My understanding is that the acai berry is new and scientist dont even know all the benifits you can recieve. Does the supplement you sell have the Acai in it.?
