Its a hardcore scam, not the product as a whole, just the selling scheme and prices. I liked it for a while, it tasted good and cleaned my digestive system out, but after a while my stomach would just run through food in like an hour. I also developed anal leakage but whether this product was directly related is unknown to me, it could of had to do with using it as a chase for vodka one night?
All it is, is a drink from some berry or plant that boosts anti-oxidants. Don’t get me wrong, that is a good thing but there is a better way.
I don’t believe that very many of these MLM’s are scams, but I also don’t believe that all of them will give you what you want either. They promise the world but end up preying on people who want to own a business but don’t know how.
I was involved in one for 3 1/2 years and put 5k a year into that business and made a total of about 700 dollars.
There are some out there that are good though. My best recommendation to you is to start your own business. That is what I did and I have made a pretty successful business and am working with partners in another business and working on a patent for a software for cell phones. I also found a way better MLM that is hands down the best product that I know of in the MLM business. It is called ASEA. Go to. Check that out and tell me that isn’t awesome.
Mona Vie is a real product, with real ingredients – but it has two fatal flaws to be considered something better than orange juice.
Antioxidants are working whether in your body or not. Their job is to neutralize free radicals. If you create a product that is exposed to oxygen frequently, the antioxidants will neutralize the free radicals in the air and will be value-less when they get into your body. Thus is the case with Mona Vie, once you open the bottle a couple times – the product is useless.
The second problem it has is the sugar. Sugar itself is not a problem, but the sugar activates your digestive processes and thus the antioxidants neutralize the free radicals in your stomach – not in your blood stream.
Your best bet is to find an antioxidant product that is contains a full spectrum of antioxidants and is in individually sealed packets. There are many great ones out there, OPC Factor, which is a powder you must mix with water, is one such product.
I personally love the stuff! I have been drinking it now for about 5 months. I sleep better, my moods are better, I no longer have achy knees, my memory is better, I have more energy, my blood sugar level has improved greatly, my blood pressure has decreased, and I feel great! My entire family is drinking it also, and they have had similar results. My kids are even doing better in school because their concentration levels have improved. This stuff is worth its’ weight in gold! I highly recommend it!
Unequivocal scam. People have been misrepresenting this product for years now. First, the retail price of about $45 is utterly ridiculous. The inflated price tag is necessary because of the company’s MLM business model; i.e., it’s a quasi-pyramid scheme and the bulk of the revenue generated goes straight to the dozen or so higher-ups in the organization.
As for nutritional value, Monavie fails miserably. The manufacturer does not disclose the amount of acai in it (it’s only one of 19 fruit ingredients and could be as low as about 6%) and the nutritional label shows that it doesn’t provide much in the way of vitamins (it only has vitamin C) or minerals (it provides a small amount of iron). It provides insignificant amounts of fiber and protein. It also contains the nasty preservative sodium benzoate, which you won’t find in other acai drinks or high-end fruit juices (that sell for about 10-20 times less than Monavie). The ingredient label shows that the juice is made up almost entirely of juice CONCENTRATES (not fresh juice, and none of the ingredients are organic), and grape juice concentrate is one of the top ingredients. Essentially, the product is mediocre overpriced grape juice.
Two reports have been published on the nutritional value of Monavie; one sponsored by the manufacturer and one published by the magazine Men’s Journal. These reports indicated that Monavie has low amounts of antioxidants (i.e., anthocyanadins, proanthocyanadins, polyphenols, and vitamin C), low antioxidant activity (an ORAC score of 22.8/mL), and it didn’t raise antioxidant activity in blood serum.
There have been a lot of lies told by desperate distributors – they allege that Monavie cures/treats diseases. Not only is this illegal, it is completely implausible. Many reputable sources (Newsweek, Forbes, etc.) have criticized the company as a result of such claims, and they were cited by the FDA in 2007 for exactly this reason. Much of the hype and misleading promotion of the product is a direct result of the company’s quasi-pyramid system – distributors try to make their money by recruiting new distributors, who in turn recruit new distributors, etc…In order to recruit, lies and high-pressure sales pitches are the norm.
Monavie is definitely the real deal! There are alot of acai berry schemes and scams but Monavie is not one of them!
Dr. Alexander Schauss has studied the acai berry for 15 years.
Monavie is a blend of 19 fruits from around the world, with the Brazilian acai berry being the crown jewel. Monavie Active has glucosamine and helps with joint health and recovery time. Monavie is very high in antioxidants and will rebuild your body at the cellular level.
I love it because it tastes great and you take 2 oz in the morning and 2 oz at night and it gives you 13 fruit servings. It gives me energy and also helps me sleep.
The fruits are from all around the world and you could not afford them even if you could get them.
Monavie Pulse is designed for heart health.
Monavie Kosher is now available as well.
Monavie is coming out with an energy drink in June that will taste great and be good for you.
Monavie is only 4 years old and have beat Amazon and Ebay to $1,000,000. $1,000,000 of anything works!
It is not a pyramid scheme and you can get started today and make more money than your upline if you are more ambitious.
If Monavie was sold in the store on the shelf it would probably cost even more. Rather than pay for advertising and making store owners rich, Monavie does pay distributors really well.
You can enroll free in Monavie in 2009 and get the Monavie products at distributor costs.
I would be glad to answer any further questions about Monavie. Contact me at our website.

Is monavie a scam? Who really knows? All I know is that this drink, monavie, has definitely helped some people out. There are testimonials from people that used monavie and cured some affections like diabetes. There are also bad testimonials, from people that didn’t get good results with monavie and I think, this is why you can not tell if monavie is a scam or not.
Maybe this is a matter of perspective, if monavie has helped you or someone you know, then you will say it’s good, and if you didn’t get any results with it, then you call monavie a scam. This is exactly why I always like to listen to what others have to say about this or that, but, ultimately, I have to try to darn thing out to convince myself of what the truth is. The best way to know for sure if monavie is scam or not is to try it and see for yourself.
I haven’t tried monavie out, yet… I’m planning to do that in the future. For the moment I’m just browsing for some information about monavie and other health drinks as well. But, as I said, try it and see for yourself. I found an interesting article at
It helped me clarify some things about monavie and other health drinks as well. Hope this helps you!
