Unfortunately some of our representatives have mistaken Celadrin for all estrified fatty acids. MonaVie does not use Celadrin in their formula. Celadrin is derived from bovine..... Monavie's is derived from palm nuts. Again with the disclaimer that Monavie does their best to educate new distributors, sometimes you are going to get the info wrong if it was passed down wrong. MonaVie is always telling their dist. to not make cure claims.
If a product has good results for people they are going to be excited. It does work and it is easy to share and make great money.
But if you go on the website under product science, it specifically states that out estrified fatty acids are derived from nuts!
When you join you are encouraged to go the " official website" and gain knowledge on the product there. Also it does state everywhere that it is not meant to cure any disease. It is just about good nutrition, the body will take care of its self if it is healthy.
Every company has overzealous reps. You can't pin that on MV's leaders. They have never misrepresented or overlooked! If anything they have gone the other way to say nothing. Just drink the juice, if it works for you great. Let your body speak for itself. . If you are not interested, we wish you the best. We operate with integrity both in business and in life.
If we are being sued, I am sure MV will stand behind its dist. and make it right and clear the air. I am interested to hear what the next announcement will be.
I'll keep reading. I enjoy reading everyones comments
Peace!
MLM Company, MonaVie is being sued by Imagenetix Inc. for $2,750,000,000.00 (I believe that is $2.75 Billion!) in a trademark infringement lawsuit. The scary part of this is the fact that not only is MonaVie being sued, but so are a number of top leaders, including...
Dallin Larsen, Henry Marsh, Randy Larsen, Amy Cowley, John Brigham Hart, Lita Hart, Steven Merritt, Gina Merritt, Corbin Roush, Holly Roush, Charles Kalb, Deborah Kalb, Ronald Prudhomme, Brenda Prudhomme, Edward Aristizabal, Shelly Aristizabal, Brian Cattano, Jill Cattano, Matthew Curtis, Kimberly Curtis, Tina Dupart, Todd Hartog, Angelique Hartog, Rodney Howard-Browne, Adonica Howard-Browne, Mickey Karshner, Victoria Karshner, Jason Lyons, Carrie Lyons, Angel Matos, Grayson Maule, Ken Porter, Robert Robinson, Linda Robinson, Devon Robinson, Todd Smith, Stephanie Smith, Frank Soucinek, Jr, Cynthia Soucinek, Brian Thayer, Jacqueline Thayer, Bo Vanpelt, Carrie Vanpelt, Black Diamond University Inc, Darrell Utterbach, Tracy Utterbach, Joseph Licciardi, Patrice Licciardi, Andre Walton, Penny Walton, James Bellacera, Denise Bellacera, Kelly Bangert, Jillian Bangert, Eric M Gutman, Rebekah Gutman and Does 1 - 10,000, inclusive
Apparently, MonaVie (and it's leaders) has been touting a trademarked ingredient called Celadrin without the permission of the trademark owner.
My opinion:
I have long thought that there was a "culture of overlooking" at MonaVie. The company first caught my attention because of it's associates illegal product claims like "curing cancer". So many of these crazy claims were taking place that it was obviously part of the culture within the company.
Culture and leadership are such a vital part of building a long term Network Marketing business and it appears as though MonaVie CEO, Dallin Larsen has sacrificed some of that for the sake of short term growth.
Well, it's me again. I forgot to mention a few key points regarding ANY product, opportunity, MLM, or whatever it may be. When a friend tells you a restaraunt is good you most likely will patronize that establishment just to find out for yourself. This product/business is no different. Thousands of people have reported amazing results with health and finances. While there are many out there who would like to call this company a scam or "pyramid scheme", the truth is that you get out of it what you put into it. I am certainly not begging anybody to sell the juice, but rather explaining that you CAN make money at it. If you are going to drink it anyway, why not share it with others? Our team is committed to helping those who enroll under us be successful, just ask those in my downline who I have sponored. It's funny how all of these "critics" online bash MonaVie and then try to sell you some other product. It's your health and financial future-it's your choice. If you choose to try this product you can visit http://www.mymonavie.com/discoverwellness. P.S. See my entry a few spots below about what it has done for my family.
Hello. . just wanted to put in my two cents on Monavie. My wife and have been distributors for about 2 months and we can't say enough. She had to resign from work in December for MIGRAINES! We had $9000.00 in medical bills in the month of January trying to find out what was causing them and a way to treat them. We were told by many physicians that they could not find what was wrong.
We were introduced to Monavie by some friends of ours and after she had been drinking it for about a week her migraines went away. She had the migraines for about 2 months straight before then and she has had migraines consistently over the past 16 years. We'll, in the last 2 months she hasnt had any. What a blessing!
I have to say that we have been blessed with a great downline during that time also. This is truly a wonderful product and business. If you're interested in hearing more, we would love to talk with you. When you click on our website, go to the contact page and you can email us or call us. We would love to talk with you personally.
Both my girl friend and I went to a Mona Vie testing a few weeks ago. As I'm a Naturopathic Physician I was a little skeptical bout the whole thing. After listening to our guest speaker and asking a lot of questions, we took home a bottle of this juice (free of charge). The first night both of us poured about 2 oz of Mona Vie Active. As I felt no different the next morning, my girl friend told me she sleep better and felt better after suffering from a car accident a few months prior. Both of us poured 2 oz of the Mona Vie Active until the bottle was empted and few days later. After being off of the juice we both notice that the juice was actually working and now we felt like we did before we started taking it a week ago.
Our conclusion is that the Mona vie active, gives you more antioxidants than other comparable products. On an average most people don’t receive the vitamins and minerals that the body needs. My clinic is now offering to patents the Mona Vie and Mona Vie Active. So if you want some information and a free tasting stop on by. We are located on North LBJ next to the Thai-Thai restaurant in the Chestnut plaza in San Marcos Texas The Wellness and Weight Loss Clinic
Why MonaVie you ask? It's simple, IT WORKS! How can all of these other juices, blends, etc... say they have GOOD health benefits? Because THEY DO! It doesn't take doctors or scientists to figure out that if you eat/drink fruit every day you will get health benefits. The question is whether or not you want a pinto or a mercedes, figuratively speaking. MonaVie's health benefits are not just good, they're GREAT! While we cannot make medical claims, because MonaVie IS NOT a medicine or cure for ANY disease, we can speak of personal experience. This is whatI KNOW: My mother broke her neck in a car accident and has been on pain killers for 12 years- after less than 2 weeks of drinking MonaVie she stopped taking her pain pills. Three months later she still does not need the pain pills. My wife and I (and our 3 kids) drink MonaVie and feel GREAT every day and have noticed minor aches and joint pains have disappeared. Bottom line= Drink It, Feel It, Share It. http://www.mymonavie.com/discoverwellness
This is Truly Amazing. I found way to Market Mona-Vie with
New people. Get recruits LIKE CRAZY!!! This Is So easy that
EVEN I can do this Business.
Everybody who is building a Mona-Vie home-business Needs to
See this tool and USE IT! Anywhere at Anytime this works,
I am Not KIDDING!
It's easy, cost effective and really does ALL the work for you.
Here is the site www.theacaipurpose.com. I can market 100s of
People for ANYwhere with a 2 min conversation...ANYWHERE even
Without leaving my house.
I have been on the juice for about 3 months. I can say that my seasonal allergies are much better this year and that I went and got my eyes checked and my script was better that before.
My wife started us on it and all I can say is it's been a real blessing to be associated with this product.
I can say that I know at least 9 people that MonaVie changed their lives. Since we're drinking the juice for "free", I love it even more.
But for me, personally, the kicker is the TASTE. No one has really talked about the taste.
I LOVE it! I CRAVE it. It tastes better and better every day it seems.
I can't say the same about any other Acai juice I've tried from the stores, or the other MLM juices that I've tried.
MonaVie tastes the best.
Goto my site if you want, it's not the usual MonaVie website.
I understand that Monavie has alot of different ingredients that could provide health benefits. For a great fruit juice product that's worth taking over a long time look for: research abstracts on each botanical on Pubmed (in other words you want science), look for a long history of people taking the individual ingredients for health benefits, look for a product that tastes good enough that everybody from kids to elders can take it. Alot of people wont' take pills, capsules, or powders because of the hassle. Zrii has 7 botanicals for a comparison look into http://www.amalakipros.com for amalaki juice info. I also take Monavie and it is awesome...wouldn't be without it!
While this looks promising the reality is that it still comes down to your own efforts. If you are going to wait for others to give you spillover you will be waiting until the cows come home. Promise of spillover is only for lazy people that want something for nothing.My best advise find something that will give you results based upon your effort and find a mentor that will truly help you become successful in your venture.Spillover is a myth because everyone is looking for it and no one does any work or even get the product.So I ask why even get involved with something like that to only spin you wheels.

I have noticed many benefits already and its been 5 weeks. Do you expect your body to heal itself in 2 weeks. We live an average around 80 yrs and you want results in 2 months. WOW and for the most part im pleased with monavie and my sponser. And i have seen direct results including cholesterol triglyceride levels and blood pressure. Actually doctor reports per month. And as for the post about only the ppl making money are feeling good. "find someone to give you a bottle" OK you want a bottle. Contact me

DRINK IT FEEL IT SHARE
everyone should be on monavie, if you cared about ur health
This is a good natural health product and fruit juice but is this company world-class, and can they attract top networkers which is needed to achieve and maintain momentum? MLM companies are evaluated based upon six elements of due diligence which are: management team, product or service, compensation plan, branding expertise, timing, and tools systems training and support. The weaker elements here: (1) Timing is no longer on their side the product is absolutely saturated especially in the states of California and Florida; (2) the management team has chosen to NOT let the distributors create their own websites and marketing so they're left with using only company-approved replicating websites which is a major restriction/downfall for online marketers; (3) the management team has chosen to include sodium benzoate in the formula which is a no-no do some research on your own; (4) the management team has chosen the Binary comp plan, and while this plan is legitimate and often used, professional network marketers seek comp plans with more flexibility such as the unilevel with dynamic compression. With Monavie you only get paid on your short leg. With the unilevel you can earn on every single transaction in your organization if you're staying ahead of your group in rank. Summary of 4 out of 6 key element weaknesses: management team decisions/choices, timing, comp plan, product with sodium benzoate not good.

He's a lunatic who ripped alot of people off on Ebay. They shut him down and now he's ranting about the owner of Amazon Thunder. Alot of honest people spent money with him and he ripped them off. And he's nasty, just read his replies. Who cares where Amazon Thunder gets whatever. Mona Vie must be desparate for them to be using a jerk like this to sell their product.
What kind of ignorant idiot is this guy Daniel? I ask an honest question and he comes up with something about my wife. After reading his post I can't help but think he's got problems. He doesn't like anyone or anything. I hope he's not a Mona Vie Rep. I'll seek my answers elsewhere.
Does anyone want to know WERE Amazon Thunder buys there Acai!?!?! AND were you can purchase the same exact products, FROM that supplier, at MUCH LOWER PRICES!!!
He removes one more e-bay listing on me before I get it stopped, you will ALL know, and I will post the links, AND the numbers were you may purchase it!!
Daniel, why would I be praising Monavie if I was working with Amazon Thunder? You are not very smart I can see..stop your stupid posts..it's old and no one cares about your issues..it is a pathetic attempt for you to try to get traffic to your ebay listings..
Who in the world would buy supplements off of ebay anyway? You would have to be pretty desperate..are you a Monavie distributor or ever been one or ever signed up? That is the only way your allowed on here..if not don't post..
thx
Tony
Tony N, yet another Alias of Todd Reum's or a seller of Amazon Thunder Products!
Everything I mention here is Very relevant to Mona Vie.
Just another post with nothing but weak garbage!
I think its funny how all you Amazon Thunder crownies try and bash me, yet cant defend yourseves and STILL, not ONE of my questions about Amazon Thunder, have been answered!!
Mr Daniel, look at you? Did you drop out of school in grade 2 or something? You spell like some Nigerian scam artist. You leave red flags everywhere. Are you from Nigeria? If so get the heck outta here and stop talking about other companies other than what this place is intended for! You sound pathetic..watch your rebut will be yet another balistic idiotic inmature foolish sounding banter, grow up kid and get with the game..Your product does not even compare to Monavie's..or anyone elses.
George Bush, Would you care to explain ALL the POSATIVE Feedbacks you have given me?? ALL your lies stating you never received your products, have been documented, and we have filed a legal suite against you.
If you do not stop your non sence here, I will also Past the evidence on the internet to defend myself.
Why don't you stick to posting about Mona Vie on here since this is a Mona Vie Chat Boared.
BEFORE you tell me the same, I think my evidence about Todd Reum and Amazon Thunder has Great Relevance here since he is being sued by Mona Vie for similar illegal activity he has done to them.
I will help Mona Vie in ANYWAY Possable and urge them to Call The Toll-Free Number on my website at there erliest convienience.
I am also shure that if I am doing anything wrong or saying anything wrong, the moderator of this board would delete my posts, and I would gladly leave.
I urge you Mr. Bush, to back off before you get in worse trouble.
Also, You WILL be refunded for the 500mg 60ct Capsule Bottle I failed to deliver to you, AS STATED in an e-mail to you.
I find it Odd you leave ALL those POSiTIVE feedbacks, then claim you don't like my product, Claim you NEVER RECEIVED IT, when you did, and left the feedbacks!!
This Link Shows and Proves How George Bush of 7 Bayou Ct. Berlin, MD 21811 E-bay ID trailrider
Left Posative feedbacks on My Products, THEN stated he never got them and left negative feedbacks!
I also have ALL the delivery comfirmation tickets to prove it!
Realy shows your credibility George. Might as well move along, NO ONE will trust or believe you now!!
You don't think we don't Save everything, Especialy knowing we are dealing with a malicious Amazon Thunder??
We are contacting EVERYONE Todd Reum contacted and harrased! We have many from the internet, as well as from the ALL the Documents on the Court case against him by Mona Vie!
Anyone else?? Who is Next!?!?!
OHH and Mona Vie is probable licking there chops over all this, MORE than I do every time I eat a purple pouch of Original and Green pouch of active! I have made two purchases on e-bay one for the active and one for the original about 2 months ago!
I give them to my customers as treats with there orders! You KNOW THAT now DONTCHA George!!
I even offer them in one of my combination pakages that I Have sold!!
In regards to the comment below...just look up his name on Ebay. He's taking peoples money and not sending them anything. After a while you get tired of hearing him. Sarcastically I say "it must be everyone else and not him". Then he takes up space on here accusing everyone of everything. Sad really...it's a shame he took alot of peoples money and delivered nothing in return....Very sad....Oh and he's sueing everyone too...Like I said " it's not him it's everyone else". I relly want to make him a couple of bowls of cry baby soup....Geeeze
Angel, (3 posts Down) I am unaware of the Distributor program Mona Vie offers. The only affiliate program I found fro Amazon Thunder, charges a $50 yearly fee.
The templet website Amazon Thunder gives you is no big deal, and you can make your own website very easily and quickly.
Amazon Thunder can pay you a higher commision, PLUSS ship the item to your customer (drop shipping) due to there rediculously high prices.
I have very little knolede about Mona Vie, just know I recently tried there juice, and loved it!
As far as Amazon Thunder's Acai Capsules and Acai Powder, I know all about it, even know were they buy there Acai From!
Amazon Thunder is NOT REGISTERED with the FDA!
I have a link to a site were it mentions Amazon Thunder was SHUT DOWN by the FDA. I will be confirming it this week.
I am not bitter at all, but I am not going to let someone reuen by Business and attack me like he has done others.
No one has shut me down, I chose to shut down untill this issue is resolved. We are concentrating our time on stopping Todd Reum from lieing and giving people faulse information on his web site, missleading consumers.
Its a law that if you market your vitamin & Supplement products in the United States, you MUST be registerd with the FDA!! Amazon Thunder is NOT REGISTERD!
I did run into a trademark issue with Amazon Thunder, and removed there name from all my e-bay listings when I got a warning from E-bay, three listings were removed. Even after removing there name, my listings got removed. I then noticed a similar description and removed that, only to have them STILL Removed! I finally gave for know, until I get it stopped.
I had 100% posative feedbacks on my product sales on E-bay and qualified for Power Seller Status in 3-5 months.
Since Amazon Thunder's attacks I have been unable to fill orders, and when your listings are removed, they get deleted from your "items Sold" section, witch is one of the resons orders have now not been filled.
The delisitngs and negative feedback from Amazon Thunder spys has reuned my businnes on e-bay and scared customers into a frenzy of complaints and disputes.
We have put up our website with information on Todd Reum and Amazon Thunder, and how he attacks his competitors. The website is being updated daily.
Nothing I have posted here or on my website are lies, and the two links above prove alot of it!
Again, please explain them, I can't WAIT to here your answer!!
The only lunatic is Todd Reum! He attacks people and THATS why he is hidding!!
Mona Vie is suing him for $75,000 in damages! He had fake customers (spys) e-mail me with questions, hoping I would Defam his Amazon Thunder Product(s) just like he did to Mona Vie, but it didnt work!
Todd Reum has also threatend me with bodily harm in an e-mail. Therefore I had to leave my dogs by the front gate to bark if someone approches.
He has also changed his user name on e-bay SEVERAL TIMES with one being fda_us and sending me an e-mail PRETENDING TO BE THE FDA and requestion I send my products to them.
Here it is. Will scan and post it later!
Dear fibromyalgiafighter,
Please send 1 each of all your products to the following address for inspection:
Food and Drug Administration
5600 Fishers Lane
Rockville, Maryland 20857
For more proof I am not lieing, if you go to e-bay click top right on site map. Then half way down to the right click on FIND A MEMBER.
Type in mydawson07, WHAT DO YOU SEE?! You see fda_usa_fine_damn_aci NOW, HOW would I know this!!! I need not say anymore! ALSO, if you look, you will see the indicator by the user name indicating the persons id has been changed within the last 30 days!
He also as I mentioned above, used the id fda_us with a request I send Products. This is punishable with up to 3 YEARS in PRISION!
Reum also uses the e-bay ID mydawson007 witch has also shows the id change indicator. He first e-mailed me with this id and then changed it to fda_us and now changed it back to mydawson007
Then he started contacting me using mydawson07 hoping I wouldnt notice the second zero removed.
That ID stated the location was in Canada!
NOW, who is the lunatic here!?!?!
We are suing Reum for destroying our business, and all his spy e-mails pretending to be customers, are being traced.
NOW, would you care to answer these following questions?? We asked Todd Reum from Amazon Thunder, and NEVER received a reply, yet received e-mails in responds to the questions, all with the questions being IGNORED!
1) WERE are Amazon Thunder's FDA Approved Facilities?
2) WHY is Amazon Thunder NOT REGISTERED with the Food and Drung Administration (FDA)?
3) HOW can you have FDA approved Products, bottles, and ESPECIALY Facilities, but NOT be registerd with them, witch is THE LAW!
4) WHY is there Corporate Address a VIRTUAL ADDRESS?!?!
5) Why if you want to return a product you purchased from them, you have to send it to a DIFFERENT ADDRESS!?! Hence, because the Corporate Address is a VIRTUAL ADDRESS!?!?!
6) WHY, is Amazon Thunder being SUED by Mona Vie??
AMAZING,,,
my wife left me,my dog died,I lost my job,and my arm got cut off!!!!!last night I drank some monastuff,went to sleep,and this morning I woke up and it was yesterday!!!
Monastuff has given me a chance to change it all!!! ITS A WONDERFUL LIFE!!!!
Peggy, good luck with your husbands shoulder. I too have a bum shoulder recently from a ski fall in Utah in Jan. Come to think of it, am moving it better now then i was and i'be been drinking MonaVie for a month. Overall, the positive comments overwhelmingly outweigh the negs.
Ive been a distributor with Both Monavie and an affiliate with Amazon Thunder who pays direct 20% more than Ive seen with anyone and they give you your own site and ship right to your customers and you don't need to do any purchasing or anything! There is no obligation, pretty cool program! Both companies are completely legitimate Daniel and incorporated, so stop making things up that is defamation, Amazon Thunder has never been closed down by the FDA and has products registered with the USDA and all of their materials are FDA registered, their packers are FDA registered and they have been in exsistence for over 3 years now..sounds like your bitter because you were shut down for copyright infringment, you should just play by the rules and Im sure you wouldn't land yourself in trouble, from what Ive seen youve made quite a bad name for yourself.
So stop with your lies they won't help your company. Ever stop to think Todd Reum keeps his personal address revealed to protect himself from lunatics like you?
Amazon Thunder claims to have FDA approved Manufacturing Faciliteis in the United states, yet I can not find any and he is not even registerd with the FDA!!
Is Corporation Address is a VIRTUAL ADDRESS!!!
Why is Amazon Thunder's product return address DIFFERENT from there "so Called" Corporate Headquarters Address!!
Why Does Todd Reum, owner of Amazon Thunder, have aliases in British Columbia Alberta Canada?
He has virtual phone numbers EVERYWERE!
Why was he shut down by the FDA once already?
He was a club Mona Vie manager and then he turned on them!
I have lists and lists of e-mails he sent to Mona Vie Customers!!
Todd Ruem has e-mailed me several times pretending to be customers, hoping I would incriminate myself like he has and thats why Monavie is sueing him!!
Why if I just have a little pee on crap website and business, did Amazon Thunder attack me too, and has all my e-bay listings removed by abusing the report listing feature!!
Poster Adis and Greg Brown are nothing more that Amazon Thunder sellers/distributors.
Poster George Bush was an Amazon Thunder Customer, then came to me for the lower price. Go look on E-bay under fibromyalgiafighter. Look at all the great feedbacks he gave me!!
Unfortunently during all the turmoil caused by Todd Reum's attacks, I forgot to send George Bush a 60ct bottle of my 500mg Capsules, The bigger ones, Same Size as Amazon Thunder's
So now he has turned on me and is crawling back to amazon thunder.
He is lieing and saying he never got products that he did indeed get, and all my e-mails from him and the feedbacks from him, PROVE IT!
He has sent false claims to paypal, and everything is documented and printed, and we have filed a lawsuit against him at the Albany Court House, for defimation and other damages.
Does ANYONE Know were Todd Reum is?
I will know soon enough, when we prosecute him, and also show up on his cort date with Mona Vie in Utah!
I am faxing over all my evidence to
MONARCH HEALTH SCIENCES, INC. Makers of Mona Vie Tomorrow March 16.
I will do anything possable to help Mona Vie Prosecute Todd Reum, owner of Amazon Thunder, and when they are done he will be right back in court again with The Fibromyalgia Store Inc.
You can visit my website at
www.thefibromyalgiastore.com
and YES it needs ALOT of work and we are hiring a profesional web designer to create is, but just want to put somthing up quick so our effected customer, and new customers know THE TRUTH!
Hi, I just recently signed up as a member of the MonaVie group. My brother inlaw introduced us to the product. I have been reading your posts and was wondering, how many ounces are we supposed to be drinking a day? My brother in law stated that we need to drink 4 oz total a day, so that would mean that the bottle would last only a week. now in an above post someone stated that a bottle would last 3 weeks? and is it true that 2 oz is equal to 6 servings of fruit? I am just starting out at this and still in the learning process. I would appreciate any info or advice you guys have to offer.
I hear all the hoopla about take this product and drink that product but with Mona Vie I have seen the results. My husband had already seen the surgeon about having surgery on his shoulder. He could barely lift his arm out to the side any longer, within the first 10 days he was noticing improvement and now after his 3rd bottle he is able to raise his arm above his head and lift and throw things again. While I do not even begin to claim that Mona Vie cured him, it definetly has helped to give him some pain free time and he has been able to forget about surgery for now as we continue to drink the Mona Vie. I was so thrilled that I spoke with others I know who take the product and they all have had a decrease in joint pain. It was enough for me to decide to share this drink with others and my husband and I are now distributors of the product. It is expensive to buy with the economy like it is but I cannot even imagine what the surgery would have cost us after insurance and then loss of work. The cost of the drink based on what it gives in nutrients so your body can help itself is priceless to me at any cost. If you were to put a pencil to it the averall cost sinc the bottle last three weeks is just over $15.00 per week. I spent that much just in the supermarket trying to buy juice and vitamins that never seemed to help.
I've had my experence with Fibromyalgyafighter and he promises a lot but delivers very little. His caps are half the size of Amazon Thunder. Only sends half your order and won't return your money as promised in his Ebay ads. And he's done this with several people that I know about. He sends filthy emails in reply. My advise is if you want Acai, buy Mona Vie or Amazon Thunder (my favorite) or Sambazon. They deliver what they promise and stand behind what they sell...and have great products....Just my opinion ya know
yeah I heard of the fibromyalgiafighter on ebay..heard he is in a lot of hot water because he tried to cash in by using Amazon Thunder keywords in his listings to try to bring in traffic to his listings..I was a former buyer of you. Not anymore. You violated a lot of trust on ebay. Amazon Thunder makes great products you should just do your own thing and mind your own biz..you can't try to steal peoples keywords to try to bring listings in. It is against the law. MONAVIE is MONAVIE and this blog is for MONAVIE ONLY NOT YOUR LITTLE STORE! Monavie does their own gig, Amazon Thunder theirs and if you were smart you would do your own and stop trying to advertise yourself on Monavie blogs..you are no one.
Adis
Stop trying to promote your store or subpar products on this page, this is about Monavie not about anyone else and you can't begin to even compare with your subpar little fibryo products to Monavies, your intent on here is obviously to try to recruit people to by your at Home Packed Products from what I can see in their pictures they look like just that, get lost. I also saw on ebay where you were actually calling Monavie, "Monapee" care to explain that, have a good lawyer to back you up on that? I also just saw your horrible ratings on ebay under the user id "fibromyalgifighter" on there just moments ago, seems you owe people $ and run a shady little operation. You should clearly only take Monavie as it is the only solid product on the market with a reputable backing, stop trying to bring your shady little yahoo store operation on here, guys like you come and go all the time..Ive heard lots of bad things about you on ebay..so as for your credibility? Who listens? I sure won't your two bit, Amazon Thunder is also not an MLM company and should not be mentioned on here. THIS IS A BLOG FOR MONAVIE! GET WITH IT!
Greg
It's a non-flushing binary. It is easiest to look at it as getting paid 10% on one leg but really it equals 5% of PV on both sides. Leftover PV remains and you will get paid on that as well when more gets sold - you don't lose your PV.
From an Independent Distributor view exactly what is it that makes this fruit juice stand out from the crowded marketplace. Any good MLM needs to have at least six key elements in place, and they also need to excel in all areas to pass the due diligence test. What type of network marketing comp plan does MonaVie use? Is it a matrix or binary or what as I haven't been able to discover or download their comp plan. The distributors I've talked to with this company are not thrilled with the fact that they can only qualify to get paid on one leg, so it must be a binary comp plan. The unilevel with dynamic compression I believe is a superior plan because you have the opportunity to get paid on every single case of juice sold in your MLM organization no matter how deep your leg(s) is and you can even get paid 5 levels deep with only having a single leg. An example of a company that uses this pay plan is Zrii Amalaki which is introduced at http://www.amalakifreedom.blogspot.com however other leading companies based in Utah also use the unilevel with dynamic compression compensation plan. If Monavie uses the binary then other key elements should compensate for this weaker element in my opinion.
What really makes MonaVie is not just the acaiberry. The natives have been have using this berry for centuries. What makes MonaVie so unique and powerful is the scientific blend of the other 18 fruits 2oz. twice a day gives you a complete serving 3 to 5 servings of fruits and veggies our body needs. If you fuel the body (which is already unique in itself) with the right nutrients and supplements. Then your begins to improve on healing and repairing itself

Drink MonaVie i can show you how to drink for free visit: http://thesilverbullet.com/premier or 888-534-8765
That complaint drives me CRAZY! Any food you find on the grocers shelf lists the ingredients in order of what is contained most to least without specific percentages or measurements. None of them say specifics either. I don't see anyone screaming that General Mills claims Cheerios help reduce cholesterol but (GASP!) they don't reveal the anoiumt of whole oats in the formula!!!! People just want to find a reason to not try something that might help them - their loss.
2oz MonaVie is = 6cups of fruit.
Folks that feel great from it is because they dont eat well... If you don't think MonaVie works.. great for you .. Not only do I love the juice.. I make very good money with it.. I have only invested $250 per month, unless i need extra product, then it is a little more. I designed my own training site with all the tools needed to be successful. And, I actively work with my team to help them grow... My personal sponsors average about $500 a week. I have only been doing this for about 2 months and I am well on my way to success. It is not easy and we do not encourage false tales of the juice. Truth be told, if you eat well and exercise.. you probably wont feel a tremendous change.. as a distributor you only pay $30/bottle that lasts 3 weeks, compared to acai splash at gnc that is $40/bottle lasts only 2 weeks.. I think this is a good deal. kAlso, everyone is talking about how monavie wont reveal the acai berry amount added to the juice... Coke does not even reveal their secret ingredient and you still drink it.. I think that some people are bitter because they thought if they spent $39 and put no effort into it, the magic MonaVie juice would make them rich. And nope, it doesn't work that way. Nor does anything else in life. Stop pointing the finger and take accountability for your life. :)
You are right Woody. Especially if you can manage to find oranges that haven't been artificially ripened or grown in mineral depleted soil. Take those babies with the skin and pulp and add them to 18 other fruits from other parts of the world that also are not from mineral depleted soil and also are not artificially ripened in a warehouse somewhere and you might just get a chance to feel your body in balance and operating as nature intended :) Thus the "healing" sensation. You won't know that feeling and really won't feel it trying to get your 5-9 a day from the shelves of our grocers - even the healthy or organic fruits you can find have sat long enough their benefits are greatly diminished. I would HATE to think what it would cost to try and buy the equivalent amount of fruit with the proper nutritional values that would satisfy what our body needs. I'll keep eating the fruits and veggies I can find but will also keep drinking my MonaVie and enjoying the low cholesterol and no more aches in my surgically fixed knees :)
Mona Vie is a fruit juice, an expensive fruit juice, nothing more. If you like it great, if you do not like it, do not buy it. There are alternate fruit juices out there, such as fresh squeezed orange juice which has great nutritional benefits.
ALL claims of increased "healthiness" due to consumption of anything are purely opinions of people, NOT MEDICALLY PEER REVIEWED SCIENTIFIC DATA.
I have not heard of Zrii Amalaki so I cannot comment on its nutritional value. What I can say about MonaVie is the acai berry is the jewel of this wellness beverage. Scientific studies have revealed some pretty amazing attributes surrounding the acai berry. It is the highest antioxidant gram for gram compared to any other berry, fruit, vegetable, etc. The ORAC score of Blueberry scores a 94, and the Acai scores a whopping 1,027 gram for gram. Dr. Stephen Talcott studies the acai at University of Florida Institute of Food and Agriculture Sciences and discovered that the acai berries triggered a self-destruct response in more than 86 percent of leukemia cells tested. Of course this was only a cell-culture model, and he couldn't say that it is a cure... BUT WOW, that's pretty amazing. The scientific validation of the acai has numerous of mentions from the protection of cells, to the fight of free radicals, strengthens immune system, reduces inflammation, lowers cholesterol, loaded with amino acids, helps reduce the risk of cancer, combats effects of diabetes, helps digestion, inhibits platelet aggregation and clotting, helps prostate, provides essential fatty acids, gives your brain a boots of mental clarity, strengthens vision, strengthens the heart, strengthens nervous system, and so on and so on... and did I mention it makes your skin supple? And helps with PMS? MonaVie is also loaded with 18 other fruits and they all work together to provide your body with synorgery. Keep drinking the MonaVie. . . you'll see. Ann Marie, Bend OR
PS. Not all ACAI is the same. MonaVie has the propritory patent on the process of the ACAI that allows the berry to keep its nutritional value once harvested. After 24 hrs of the berry being harvested it looses 100% of its nutritional value... MonaVie's acai doesn't loose it's awesome power after havested due to the special patent processing!
I've been trying the Monavie now for about three weeks and so far I think it is a good fruit juice product. With all the botanicals in this juice certainly there are natural health benefits but it takes awhile to show up and actually feel something. Other distributors are reporting great results on the first bottle...certainly this company is professional in their marketing approaches. Has anybody heard of the Zrii Amalaki fruit juice http://www.amalaki-fruit.com and how does it compare to MonaVie? I guess only time will tell and a doctors visit to do some tests will be helpful in evaluating long term potential. More MonaVie testimonials would be great...is there a site available for testimonials?
Going Once, Twice. . . I'm no idiot! SOLD! After three days of consuming MonaVie consistently I had more energy then ever before. Yes, maybe I was nutrition deficient. And that is why my symptoms (tired, achy joints, BIG TIME PMS victim, waking up in the middle of the night, and tired skin) have all dissipated after 3 weeks. To be honest, I am not a pill popper. I am not consistent in popping vitamins that never seemed to give results. MonaVie's blend of 19 different fruits is a delicious beverage that I look forward to taking. It is jammed packed Antioxidants, Phytonutrients, Essential Fatty Acids, Amino Acid, Vitamins, Minerals, Complex Carbs, Dietary Fiber and Trace Minerals. Not to mention it's unparalleled antioxidant levels that blow doors on any other fruit known to man. Don't bother to disproved that statment either. I've done my research! You wanna be proactive in your health, give MonaVie a try. Regardless if I become a diamond, (a business level of achievement with MonaVie) I don't care. . . I decided to share the wealth and get this product in front of as many people I can. It's AMAZING!! We Americans are loosing a battle with disease. This week alone, I have heard of several friends that family members have recently been diagnosed with cancer. My own mother died at 47 years old. She hated Chemo ! We are not a starving country, just the opposite, we are starving nutritionally! We are a fat over indulgent nation consuming processed fast food . . . no wonder we are keeling over before our prime. Be proactive in your health. MonaVie is backed by science!! Know a kid suffering from ADHD? Try a healthy diet loaded with the essentials and consistent parenting!! >> Check out www.blackdiamondunversity.com
Just go the MonaVieOnTheMove.com and the income disclosure is proudly displayed on the front page. This one is actually fairly outdated, the new one will be much more impressive, but basically it's still an exciting report. If you go to their Leaders page, you will see that there are tons more Distributors in the higher ranks then reported in the disclosure. The disclosure is a pretty good guideline to what each person earns on the Leaders page.

The reason Amazon Thunder doesn't mention MonaVie is because Mr. Reum, the owner of Amazon Thunder, knows his is a sub-standard product compared to MonaVie. He is also an ex MonaVie Distributor so he knows that comparing his very low quality Acai to the Acai that MonaVie uses would be the kiss of death for Amazon Thunder.
Basically it's also sour grapes, MonaVie was not interested in purchasing his sub-standard Acai some years back and they went directly to the major harvesters in Brazil instead.
Next to the country of Brazil, MonaVie is now the largest consumer of Acai in the world. I doubt that Amazon Thunder's total yearly sales even come close to just what MonaVie pays out in commissions to their hard working Distributors each month.
I don't understand: If Amazon Thunder is so much better than Mona Vie why don't they mention Mona Vie on their website? I checked every page of their website and they mention Goji, Noni and Mangosteen and pound away at those while attempting to sound like they are complimenting them and then they DO NO MENTION MONA VIE. Could it be because there is no contest?

Lisa - when did you try it? MonaVie has been using plant derived glucosamine for awhile. Even when the glucosamine was from shellfish - it was taken from the shell - not the protein part of the shellfish.
We started drinking MV as a last resort over a year ago when the Dr. was going to put my husband on statin meds. I didn't tell ANYONE we were dirnking a beverage/supplement to try and help. That really isn't our thing. In 90 days his cholesterol went down to levels low enough that the Dr. took him off 90 day checks and recommendation for meds. We have no prescription co-pays so that is a great thing!
When we "came out of the closet" and told a couple close friends they tried it. I now have friends personally who have reduced or alleviated symptoms from tendonitis, arthritis, heel spurs, back pain, blood pressure. Another friend tells me that her husband's recovery from his chemo treatnments has gone from 8 days to none. I still am somewhat dumbfounded when I hear these stories as I am a skeptic by nature. It beats the heck out of prescription meds and painkillers - thats for sure!
No it isn't curing any of these things. It is a matter of feeding your body right and it will heal itself as nature intended. Whomever says that it is too expensive might rather be buying $5 cups of coffee or Red Bull vs. spending $3 - $5 a day on something great for your body. We will continue drinking and respect those who choose not to as well. It's a personal decision. I know that feeling and that doubt about trying something like this - that is where I come from. But seeing and living it is also believing. I am so glad to have found Monavie!
I personally tried monavie and had a bad reaction from the shellfish content, because of the heavy metals contained in the shellfish. I am also on an anti-candida diet where fruit is not allowed, because fruit can make candida or fungus grow and create all sorts of problems. I have found a different way to help my antioxidant intake without supplements. In fact, the physician I work with has a way of testing people for intolerances to supplements and he found many people could not use Monavie, because of the sugars contained from the fruit, as well as the supplement that contains the shellfish. Maybe many people do not feel sick from certain supplements, but I can tell you that people with diabetes are in big trouble drinking stuff like this. And, taking one supplement cannot possibly be the answer to all health problems, it would be like taking a broken computer and trying to shove any hardrive into it and expecting it to work. The body needs more than a supplement to fix it and many people have different levels of toxicities in their bodies that need to be removed. They can actually become sicker and add more toxins to their bodies especially if they take the wrong product or supplement, as I have found. All of these different types of marketing such as herbal life and amway products were all marketing hypes. I had a friend who got food poisoning from the herbalife liquid vitamin drink. Someone introduced her to Monavie and she refused to go through that risk again. All I know is, this stuff made me sick and I can't imagine pushing it on to someone else, But if it works for you, good luck! hope you're well.

First up... The way MonaVie has designed the compensation plan in my opinion, is brilliant!
You stated in your post..."you may not know how to figure this out' and no offence but your right, I can't figure out what you just tried to explain. I am a MonaVie rep/independent distributor or which ever way you want to look at it and I have studied the compensation plan. Admittedly I don't have it all figured out yet for I am fairly new to this business but with all that said I know enough to realise a good thing!
If you want to talk numbers there's variations to consider. You first have to be active & qualified to receive team commissions. Commissions are paid out on the lesser leg, at 10%. Now imagine if, on your lesser leg you have one person, (for example) Adam on 500pv's Sophie on 200, Jack on 200 and Samatha on 100 that's a total of 1000 pv's. If you met the criteria of being active & qualified you would earn a $100 in team commissions which in essence is 10% paid out on your lesser leg. If you do your maths your realise with a bit of effort it won't take long to reach certain goals!
Also, it is not unrealistic for reps to purchase over 200pv's for the simple fact that it is cheaper to buy in bulk and if you want to kick start your business than it is realistic to have more than enough product on hand to share with friends & family.
In saying that, there is still a lot more to learn and a lot more to be taught which I will not get into at this point. If you want help to understand more click on my name which will take you to my website and then you can contact me. I have lots of useful information I am willing to pass on.
For those who aren't afraid to take risk's I wish you all the best, and I leave you with this... For those who would rather build "pipelines" than "carry buckets"...
There are testimonials on the Monavie product...people getting out of wheel chairs and putting their canes in the closet...LOL, just being sarcastic because the testimonials are impressive and are life changing. I don't dispute or judge the testimonials either. Just remember, you need to be VERY careful about how you deliver testimonials...ever play the "telephone game" when you were little, where you whisper into a persons ear who repeats into the next person and so on? Testimonials in MLM have a way of coming out VERY different down the line. If posting a testimonial, it needs to be from the source...in fact, collect your own testimonials from the source so you know it's legit and can have confidence when sharing and present them in a manner that isn't saying it's curing anything.
Anyways, I'm on board with Acai Berry juice and it's benefits. Acai is good stuff and studies have shown it to be good. Enough said.
What has yet to be pointed out in this discussion is the "design" of Monavie's compensation plan.
Does anyone know the minimum number of reps it takes below you to get into profit on TEAM COMMISSIONS for Monavie? Anyone? Monavie reps, do you know?
I think I have it figured out but am looking for some confirmation.
I'm looking for the minimum reps below you for :
- 100PV purchase by the rep trying to get into profit with reps below them purchasing the same 100PV
and
- 200PV purchase by the rep trying to get into profit with reps below them purchasing the same 200PV
*And don't figure reps buying more than the 100/200PV above, that would be unrealistic. 200PV at $230 is probably unrealistic for the avg rep but figure it at 200PV as well to get the rep count lower.
You might not know how to figure this out, I can share what I think the answer is but am looking to actual Monavie reps or those who've looked at the plan.
Also, when you get a number, don't be scared to post the number you come up with and how you arrived at the number. I say don't be scared because I don't want you to back out of posting it to this comment thread.
I tried MonaVie in May of2007. I think people that put products down should at least be objective, research other like products and try it for a minimum of 3-6 months. I can honestly say that I have never felt better. I kept an open mind, tried it, researched a lot, and then made my decision to become a distributor because I want other people to do the same as I. I think that everybodies body chemistry is different and then product reacts differently to everyone. Some lose weight, blood pressure and cholesterol levels go down ( my husband's did) I felt a big difference in my energy level ( i had a thyroid condition) my back and knee pain had decreased to a very tolerable level. My family is all taking it and some of my friends. I am hopeing to make a business out of it some day. I had the oppurtunity to talk with Geoff Bodine and was very impressed in what he had to say. Many athletes are using this product and I can certainly see why. Baseball players, socker players, football players, etc. Again I just want to tell people to give it a try before they make any negative judgements on this product.
Check out my website that I try to put some updated info on.
Hey guys, I've got a question for any reps out there.
I keep seeing the same business about the proprietary blend of fruits contained in MonaVie, While the info seems split down the middle of whether it's the blend of 19 fruits or the Acai berry that is so effective in the product.
The Argument that keeps coming up, is:
"Well, KFC has their own blend of herbs and spices, you don't ask THEM to reveal their recipe, do ya?!?!"
Herein lies my problem with the product, and I welcome any comments about it:
If KFC said, "Hey, we've got testimonies of people eating our chicken and tumors are shrinking, limbs are regenerating, and my 105 year old grandma (formerly bedridden) is dancing around like the little Six Flags Guy! The most powerful ingredient in our herb and spice blend is our garlic powder, only freeze-dried, etc..."
Now, if the garlic in this example (acai) is the MOST effective ingredient, but, as with KFC, you need the other supporting players to fully realize the efficacy of the product, why not say Exactly how much Acai is in each serving of Monavie ? The rest of the blend could stay the same, and I don't see what the detriment MonaVie would suffer should this fact be made known.
I understand I'll be stamped with the same "SKEPTIC" label as anyone else, but i'd like to hear from anyone who can give me an answer without it being littered with testimonies that honestly mean nothing to me.
Also, I think the problem is not coming from MonaVie themselves, I believe it's irresponsible distributors saying just about anything to people who want relief from pains. The term "Snake Oil" comes to mind....
Also, one other thing, I've heard other reps say that, by law, a company must list their ingredients in descending order from most common to least. The MonaVie bottle states " A PROPRIETARY blend of freeze-dried Acai..."
When you say, "Proprietary Blend" that means all the "Descending ingredient list laws" are gone.
I also dislike when people say, "Oh, you skeptics, your life must be so sad, you don't trust anyone, blah blah blah" I would rather KNOW what I am putting into my body.
I'm not a distributor, just a drinker. My dad distributes though.
Since my family has been drinking Monavie, I've noticed that I'm not longer sore after a hard day at work or at the gym. I have more energy and i sleep much better.
My grandpa had bad arthritis in his knees. He started with a low ibuprofen dosage, went up to anti inflammatories, then eventually cortizone shots and the doctor finally said "hey, you're 78! deal with it". He tried monavie and after 6 weeks, his knees are fine and knee replacement isn't even a thought!
My grandma has parkinsons and couldnt even lift a cup of coffee to drink. After just 2 weeks on monavie, she drinks 2 cups every morning!
Say what you will, but it works for me and my family and i'll keep on drinking it!
Amazon thunder is a acai berry PULP, not a freeze dried processed powder like Monavie. THe acai looses more than 75% of its nutritional value if its not freeze dried within 24 hours.
Amazon Thunder is good for you but it has nothing on Monavie....otherwise Amazon Thunder would be the fastest growing nutritional supplement in the world.
I was just told by my Uncle who is a Distributor of Mona Vie, that the man who Opened up Little Ceasars, a HUGE Pizza place here in Toledo Ohio, which is a Billion dollar company, is now a distributor of Mona Vie. He is involved with it for the simple fact that he feels 25 again! He doesn't need the money, he wants people to feel as good as he does. Pretty cool, I think.
I am a MonaVie distributor. There are several reasons why. I was given a bottle of MonaVie and in the first few days my energy was back. I was still very skeptical of the business side at that time. I own a very successful fine dining restaurant and really did not need additional income to improve my family or personal comforts. However, after a meeting of unbelievable testimonials I decided to give MonaVie to a few people that I knew needed help with their health...I needed to know that I was not the only person that this juice made a difference for. After some amazing results that people I knew had experienced, I decided to promote MonaVie in addition to my current business. I make around four to five hundred a week at this time and my organization is growing. As I said I really did not need the money but the concept of network marketing was new to me and I fully understand the concept of passive income. If this continues to improve financially as I expect it will, I may slow down in the restaurant business. I am thankful for the health benefits that my family, Friends and I have gained with MonaVie...the business side is just a bonus.
I have been researching a couple of the other juices sold through MLM vehicles and at retail stores only to find many negatives, not with all of them though. The only negative I have found with MonaVie is from someone that has something to gain by doing so.
For those of you that are working your MonaVie business; Keep spreading the good message of health and may you prosper with your efforts.
3 months and it has given my wife back her life. She was suffering from LUPUS and rheumatoid arthritis. Now instead of sitting on the edge of her couch every day in pain she is functioning like a woman 15 years younger. We will be lifetime drinkers!
Ok moose, so you think amazon thunder is better than Monavie??? why get so offensive? I've read alot of post where.. people like yourself mouth off and try their best to find as many flaws as possible about Monavie. The bottom line is.. Monavie is a Brilliant product and there's nothing you or any other skeptic can do to change that! You can throw around as much facts and figures as you like, the bottom line still remains the same.. Monavie is changing peoples lives for the better! I know this first hand and so does my family and there is nothing... absolutely nothing that you, your skeptism and your so called facts can do to change that!
Moose,
I cannot tell if you are a Thunder distributor or not. God Bless you either way. I am a Monavie distributor and drinker, also a distributor of GBG's 10 in 1. and I am scorned too, by a lot of Moanviers for carrying/using another functional beverage, or vitamin drink. Monavie's ORAC score, best I can tell, is around 1,000 per oz. And I can't tell you how many people I've met that this product has helped; from energy to Cancer. 10 in 1 has an ORAC score of 2500 per oz. But I can tell you ORAC is only a number. After using both products (10 in 1 and Monavie) I can tell you I defintely feel better on the Monavie than 10 in 1 by iteslf. Why? I don't know, but my energy is more sustained and level on Monavie. The 10 in 1 does have energy producing properties, but they seemed to be more intense and for a shorter duration. I have not tried the Amazon thunder. I am sure it is a great product. Yes, I agree the Monavie is expensive, or more expensive than some other supplements. And feel free to say whatever you wish. In my opinion, Monavie is a premium functional beverage in a convenient, easy to take, great tasting blend. And yes, they don't tell us a lot about it; But I have heard that it has been "analyzed" by the competition, and found to have 9-14% Acai in it. This would make perfect sense, to say the blend has around 10% Acai, and the other 18 fruits are 5% ea, and that totals 100%. And it has 18 other fruits, from across the color spectrum. And when you look in the health food store and see Acai 100 selling for 38-42$ in my area, then the price seems reasonable. The only reason we think it is expensive is because we don't understand the cost/value relationship. I talked to a guy yesterday who had stage 4 Lymphoma, who got on Monavie and now it's all gone. He would gladly pay much more, for what it has done for him , or perceived it has done for him. I for one as a consumer and user, believe in the product as well. And Monavie is not for everyone. Let's face it, if you are a working stiff like me, and can't get a few distributors under you to pay/supplement your habit, then yes, it is expensive. But what is your health worth/ And not to mention, it tastes pretty good.
MonaVie is nothing more then a MLM BS marketing scam... the drink is advertised and pushed as an ACAI drink, not a fruit juice made of 19 juices.
They push the word ACAI and it's benefits, yet the ACAI is very small % of the drink. Absolute BS!! They don't tell you the ORAC... but studies show it's only 600 per serving, and the daily suggest servings is 2-4 oz... from a small bottle at a premium price...
AMAZON THUNDER is certified USDA ORAGNIC, MonaVie is not and has preservatives.
AMAZON THUNDER ORAC rating per 1oz serving is 3000, MonaVie is only 600
AMAZON THUNDER'S bottle is bigger and will last you one month of daily servings, MonaVie will not AND it costs more.
AMAZON THUNDER is truly an ACAI BERRY PULP drink... MonaVie is a slick marketing ploy... an expensive fruit drink served to the sheep...
Correction to a previous post. I changed the website name a little. here is what I can say about the 10 in 1
-tastes like an orange flintstone vitamin/ baby aspirin
-1 oz per day does the trick
-produces sustained and almost immediate energy levels
The website is http://www.shopgbg.com/weshudson
It is not a fruit replacement, but a very nice liquid vitamin at an affordable price.
Any questions, call me.

I have definitely felt a difference, and I would imagine, based upon my research, that people who don't eat enough fruit in their diet will feel a bigger difference than those who do eat a lot of fruit. Good nutrition is just body fuel.
It would make sense for good nutrition to help fight off body ailments, but to advertise it as anything more than good nutrition would seem to me to be the greed part of the business taking over.
I'm taking a pretty conservative approach to the product, and I have given it to several friends to try out. I waiting for their response, but my family has felt some differences for sure so far.

Hey berrynuts,
Are you sure your "best customer" didn't get that bottle off of ebay? Anyway, I just want to add my two sense in and say how this product really did work for me as I can get a good night's sleep now (it was nearly impossible before).

michaeljp, you need a life! Perhaps you should look into something that gives you joy. Obviously MonaVie is not having the same effect on you as others. Therefore, you should stop being on autoship and direct your money to something that will make you happy. Don't do something because someone else is making you. I personally don't want anyone buying/selling MonaVie if they are not drinking it with benefits. To me, this juice is a gift.
Now it fixes Asthama add this to blood problems cancer bone problems etc etc gets rid of wheel chairs, all this and you can make a millon dollars day. Gee
MonaVie does NOT make claims. Plus, if you look carefully on their website, you can print alot of the info (off PDF) so you don't have to buy tons of tools. The main tool is the juice and your word of mouth. You have to drink it and when people ask you what you are doing, there it is. As far as asthma, it has helped me. MonaVie did not make any claims at all. I started drinking this because a friend gave it to me thinking it would help with my aches and pains. What a big bonus to be able to breathe again. You all can poo-poo MonaVie all you want. Nothing you say or do will make me stop drinking it.
I don't feel the need to discuss dollars and cents and it's not because I am not making money because I am but in the interest of an intelligent response I can tell you I make a hundred a week to 530 a week, off of 42 people in my lesser leg, not all on autoship and it depends on what weeks the autoships ship out that determines the amount.
Somehow you missed some real good points while you were trying to come up with "dummy"?
Some peoples lives have been saved, many lives have been helped, and many have been prospered, and all you can come back with is how much some people at the top are making?
You are too shallow to have a discussion with and I was hoping for something a little more but you obviously have no game.
Too bad people at the top are making money? GEEZ!
Not sure if you work but guess what, somebody at the top in just about every field is making money.
Sam Walton must have been a pretty evil dude because he made a ton while people with legit jobs only make so much less. How unfair is that?
People go to work every single day and work for most of their best years fo much less than the folks at the top and now somehow that is a bad concept?
Get your head out of your butt and look at what I said.
People are being helped. Not just a few but many. Some lives have been allowed to live and they attribute it to drinking this juice.
If you don't like it then spend your time and energy trying to make it out to be a bad thing but it's a waste of your time.
You sound like you could use some MonaVie because your life is obviously filled with sour grapes.
LOL!
Too bad for you.
Some people are not happy unless they are unhappy!
I enjoy seeing good people getting some relief from some pretty serious stuff. I guess that part goes over your head while you try so hard to hope this thing is a bust.
I didn't want to do this. I am not a network marketing person at all. I drank it, I felt it and now I share it and my business is growing virtually by itself and my juice is free every month and I get weekly money directly deposited on my purple Visa card so in effect this evil company is paying me well to drink their juice and how can I not share that concept with people I love and care about?
You are beating your head agaist a wall and all you will get is a sore head. It's a good thing and I know it.
If I made nothing it would still be a real good thing.
What part of it helping people is it that you do not like?
Mark tell me just how prosperous has monavie made you? What is your weekly commission? How much do you spend to promote monavie and earn your commission? Money talks so let us hear it.
Monavie is all about "tools and training meetings". Those big shots don't make their money off the juice. They make their money selling tools and training to you! Wise up dummy!
Just thought I would give you a quick update. I went to my doctor yesterday for an update. I had some bloodwork done the other day. When my pcp got the results he was flabbergasted. He just could not believe what he was reading. My triglycerides are down a full 180!! He told me he has never seen such a remarkable result. I am also no taking one third of the coumadin that I was taking two months ago. Thank you Lord for the day you introduced me to Monavie.
Hey Berrynuts, that looks like a poor shot at a worthwhile post.
If you are really a distributor nobody is twisting your arm.
Get out, quit buying, quit drinking.
If you don't put yourself close to it you won't even know it's around.
You sound like some form of the competition expressing sour grapes.
Remember this. It's not a good product, it's a great one and it's helping multitudes of people who appreciate what it's doing for them, both in health and prosperity.
My best customer just called me and told me that he found a dead bug in his new bottle of MonaVie. Come on people. Can't you do anything right? I'M TIRED OF PAYING SO MUCH FOR A PRODUCT THAT IS JUST A GIMMICK FOR A FEW PEOPLE TO MAKE MONEY OFF OUR BACKS. Quit drinking. Quit selling. They will disappear back underneath the rock they crawled out from.
Hello!
I'm Wes from NC. We love Monavie over here on the Coast. I've lost a few pounds, feel better, and look younger due to the Super Juice. I haven't found anything quite like it.
I'd love to hear from other Monavie people throughout the Carolinas! My website is http://www.mymonavie.com/monavieeast. Write to me at monavieeast@yahoo.com.
Take care and God Bless!
There will always be those who look for the negatives.
Quote the figures all you like. There will always be a large percentage of folks in network marketing who basically do nothing.
I have over 400 people in my business in 4 months and a whole lot of them get in and never take time to make it their business or take the ownership necessary to see it succeed.
The fact is people who work it are making money, and why let that bother you if it's not hurting you.
If I was just getting the juice for free from my MonaVie income that would be a plus would it not?
The fact is I live in Lima, OH and I personally belong to a group of about 8,000 that started here with nobody but one, then it grew to nearly 5000 in 11 months, and there are countless testimonies of real people that I know who the juice has helped, and these are people I know personally, and who claim the juice has changed their lives in just about every major disease that nothing else can touch.
MonaVie stresses that you are to make no false claims but you have to at least be intrigued by these people I know personally who have had relief from Chrones disease, or on insulin injectors who are down to a half shot 2 times a day, or a young girl who has rheumatoid arthritis and on 20,000.00 worth of annual shots who her doctor has now taken her off the shots, or the woman with terminal cancer who's count has dropped from over 500 to in the neighborhood of 200.
This list of testimonies can go on and on.
My point is why bother to try to shoot it down?
It's a good thing and it's helping people.
And to the guy who said MLM only feeds the top, I want to make it clear that people I have under me have passed me and are making more money than I am so it's up to the individual and what they put into it but you describe a pyramid and this is no pyramid as they are illegal.
It's a good thing. It helps people, and people are making money in it as an honest business.
What would motivate the few of you who seem so angry to try to shoot it down?
The father of the young man with chrones disease, who calims that MonaVie has given him his life back doesn't think it's a bad thing, nor does his mother who sits and wipes tears from her eyes as he gives his testimony.
The woman who gave her mom with the cancer a bottle and has seen that improvement in 5 1/2 bottles doesn't think it's a bad thing.
The 29 year old kid making 10 grand a week for telling friends and family about this good product doesn't think it's a bad thing.
The single mom who a year ago was on welfare with no direction, who just closed on her own home and is making 6 figures doesn't think it's a bad thing.
There are stories like these over and over out of our 8000 people in just over one year.
In my opinion if it helps someone and you can make money it's a good thing.
If you are not into it and would like to be check it out for yourself.
If anyone is impressed by Gordon's interesting and successful trial of Monavie and would like to find out more about it then they can contact me on (425) 652 0984 or email me at soundmonavieguy@yahoo.com
I am in the Greater Seattle area but have distributors in my team from not only all over the USA but worldwide. There are many more amazing testimonies to the great job being done by Monavie and how it is improving peoples health and wellbeing. I look forward to your questions.
I just had to jump into this discussion. Two years ago I suffered a triple pulmonary embolism (blood clots on the lung). Ever since then I have been plagued with problems with the circulation in my legs and feet, often suffering discomfort and numbness in my lower leg and feet. Also I had swelling of the ankles.
A few weeks ago I was introduced to Monavie by a friend. (free bottle) and after taking only for about 4 days I was aware of a noticable change for the better in the circulation in my legs and feet.
I also noticed that the black and blue patches on my legs and feet were dramatically clearing up.
On going to my pcp I had a test for cholesterol or I should say triglycerides and they had reduced dramatically, and all this in just the time it took to drink one bottle at two ounces a day.
Regardless of the skeptics on here I can certainly add testimony to this amazing food drink called Monavie. I only wish I had found it two years ago.
Before I was introduced to Mona Vie,0n 17 July 07. I spent Have of my time in a wheelchair, the other I hobbled like a 95 year old. I have two total knee replacements with steel, 13 + disks in back bad, and sever carparl tunnel in both hands. I was on 15 different drugs for pain, nothing ever relieved the pain. This went on for 35 years. I am now 60 feel 40, NO PAIN, NO DRUGS. enjoying life more than ever, NO WHEELCHAIR, NO CANE. Doing things I haven't done in 20 years. Can't explain what Mona Vie does but many others I know are enjoying this to. I am now a Distributor, and if you are in the the New England area or any place in the US call me (603) 927-4231. I am a veteran an proud of it, if you are a veteran, I know you will like it. Call me I will set you up in Business. If you don't like it under certain conditions I will buy it BACK.Call me I will explane.... Ben
Michaeljp:
I have been reading your posts for a while now but still have not figured out if you are for or against Mona Vie. It seems like you are venting good and bad? I noticed you mentioned how much money you are out but you can not look at it that way. Is there really a price for good health? If you are going to count how much money you have spent on Mona Vie then I suggest 2 things: 1) Start sharing Mona Vie to make some of your money back or 2) Stop counting what you spent. A lot of people go to Starbucks daily and spend $4-$5 on a coffee. What is the difference? Is it because people want the coffee? Mona Vie is no different. If you do not think that it is helping you then just stop buying it or complaing about what you are spending to avoid an argument.
Mona Vie does not list its ingredients for one primary reason: bootlegging. If Mona Vie told people what percentage of the acai berry is in every serving or the amount of glucosamine or the amount of Omega 3 or 6 fatty acids, then other people would be making their own. It is a way to keep the recipe secret. Just like KFC. Nobody knows what their secret recipe is yet nobody cares to complain about no knowing but guess what?, you still go out and buy it!!!
All I am saying is that the product works. If it does not work for you then stop using it. It is very simple.
Sorry but I think I had to get that off of my chest.
Unfortunately some of our representatives have mistaken Celadrin for all estrified fatty acids. MonaVie does not use Celadrin in their formula. Celadrin is derived from bovine..... Monavie's is derived from palm nuts. Again with the disclaimer that Monavie does their best to educate new distributors, sometimes you are going to get the info wrong if it was passed down wrong. MonaVie is always telling their dist. to not make cure claims.
If a product has good results for people they are going to be excited. It does work and it is easy to share and make great money.
But if you go on the website under product science, it specifically states that out estrified fatty acids are derived from nuts!
When you join you are encouraged to go the " official website" and gain knowledge on the product there. Also it does state everywhere that it is not meant to cure any disease. It is just about good nutrition, the body will take care of its self if it is healthy.
Every company has overzealous reps. You can't pin that on MV's leaders. They have never misrepresented or overlooked! If anything they have gone the other way to say nothing. Just drink the juice, if it works for you great. Let your body speak for itself. . If you are not interested, we wish you the best. We operate with integrity both in business and in life.
If we are being sued, I am sure MV will stand behind its dist. and make it right and clear the air. I am interested to hear what the next announcement will be.
I'll keep reading. I enjoy reading everyones comments
Peace!

This story is just breaking...
MLM Company, MonaVie is being sued by Imagenetix Inc. for $2,750,000,000.00 (I believe that is $2.75 Billion!) in a trademark infringement lawsuit. The scary part of this is the fact that not only is MonaVie being sued, but so are a number of top leaders, including...
Dallin Larsen, Henry Marsh, Randy Larsen, Amy Cowley, John Brigham Hart, Lita Hart, Steven Merritt, Gina Merritt, Corbin Roush, Holly Roush, Charles Kalb, Deborah Kalb, Ronald Prudhomme, Brenda Prudhomme, Edward Aristizabal, Shelly Aristizabal, Brian Cattano, Jill Cattano, Matthew Curtis, Kimberly Curtis, Tina Dupart, Todd Hartog, Angelique Hartog, Rodney Howard-Browne, Adonica Howard-Browne, Mickey Karshner, Victoria Karshner, Jason Lyons, Carrie Lyons, Angel Matos, Grayson Maule, Ken Porter, Robert Robinson, Linda Robinson, Devon Robinson, Todd Smith, Stephanie Smith, Frank Soucinek, Jr, Cynthia Soucinek, Brian Thayer, Jacqueline Thayer, Bo Vanpelt, Carrie Vanpelt, Black Diamond University Inc, Darrell Utterbach, Tracy Utterbach, Joseph Licciardi, Patrice Licciardi, Andre Walton, Penny Walton, James Bellacera, Denise Bellacera, Kelly Bangert, Jillian Bangert, Eric M Gutman, Rebekah Gutman and Does 1 - 10,000, inclusive
Apparently, MonaVie (and it's leaders) has been touting a trademarked ingredient called Celadrin without the permission of the trademark owner.
My opinion:
I have long thought that there was a "culture of overlooking" at MonaVie. The company first caught my attention because of it's associates illegal product claims like "curing cancer". So many of these crazy claims were taking place that it was obviously part of the culture within the company.
Culture and leadership are such a vital part of building a long term Network Marketing business and it appears as though MonaVie CEO, Dallin Larsen has sacrificed some of that for the sake of short term growth.
I will post more details as they roll in.

Well, it's me again. I forgot to mention a few key points regarding ANY product, opportunity, MLM, or whatever it may be. When a friend tells you a restaraunt is good you most likely will patronize that establishment just to find out for yourself. This product/business is no different. Thousands of people have reported amazing results with health and finances. While there are many out there who would like to call this company a scam or "pyramid scheme", the truth is that you get out of it what you put into it. I am certainly not begging anybody to sell the juice, but rather explaining that you CAN make money at it. If you are going to drink it anyway, why not share it with others? Our team is committed to helping those who enroll under us be successful, just ask those in my downline who I have sponored. It's funny how all of these "critics" online bash MonaVie and then try to sell you some other product. It's your health and financial future-it's your choice. If you choose to try this product you can visit http://www.mymonavie.com/discoverwellness. P.S. See my entry a few spots below about what it has done for my family.

Hello. . just wanted to put in my two cents on Monavie. My wife and have been distributors for about 2 months and we can't say enough. She had to resign from work in December for MIGRAINES! We had $9000.00 in medical bills in the month of January trying to find out what was causing them and a way to treat them. We were told by many physicians that they could not find what was wrong.
We were introduced to Monavie by some friends of ours and after she had been drinking it for about a week her migraines went away. She had the migraines for about 2 months straight before then and she has had migraines consistently over the past 16 years. We'll, in the last 2 months she hasnt had any. What a blessing!
I have to say that we have been blessed with a great downline during that time also. This is truly a wonderful product and business. If you're interested in hearing more, we would love to talk with you. When you click on our website, go to the contact page and you can email us or call us. We would love to talk with you personally.

Both my girl friend and I went to a Mona Vie testing a few weeks ago. As I'm a Naturopathic Physician I was a little skeptical bout the whole thing. After listening to our guest speaker and asking a lot of questions, we took home a bottle of this juice (free of charge). The first night both of us poured about 2 oz of Mona Vie Active. As I felt no different the next morning, my girl friend told me she sleep better and felt better after suffering from a car accident a few months prior. Both of us poured 2 oz of the Mona Vie Active until the bottle was empted and few days later. After being off of the juice we both notice that the juice was actually working and now we felt like we did before we started taking it a week ago.
Our conclusion is that the Mona vie active, gives you more antioxidants than other comparable products. On an average most people don’t receive the vitamins and minerals that the body needs. My clinic is now offering to patents the Mona Vie and Mona Vie Active. So if you want some information and a free tasting stop on by. We are located on North LBJ next to the Thai-Thai restaurant in the Chestnut plaza in San Marcos Texas The Wellness and Weight Loss Clinic

Why MonaVie you ask? It's simple, IT WORKS! How can all of these other juices, blends, etc... say they have GOOD health benefits? Because THEY DO! It doesn't take doctors or scientists to figure out that if you eat/drink fruit every day you will get health benefits. The question is whether or not you want a pinto or a mercedes, figuratively speaking. MonaVie's health benefits are not just good, they're GREAT! While we cannot make medical claims, because MonaVie IS NOT a medicine or cure for ANY disease, we can speak of personal experience. This is whatI KNOW: My mother broke her neck in a car accident and has been on pain killers for 12 years- after less than 2 weeks of drinking MonaVie she stopped taking her pain pills. Three months later she still does not need the pain pills. My wife and I (and our 3 kids) drink MonaVie and feel GREAT every day and have noticed minor aches and joint pains have disappeared. Bottom line= Drink It, Feel It, Share It. http://www.mymonavie.com/discoverwellness

I have been on the juice for about 3 months. I can say that my seasonal allergies are much better this year and that I went and got my eyes checked and my script was better that before.
My wife started us on it and all I can say is it's been a real blessing to be associated with this product.
I can say that I know at least 9 people that MonaVie changed their lives. Since we're drinking the juice for "free", I love it even more.
But for me, personally, the kicker is the TASTE. No one has really talked about the taste.
I LOVE it! I CRAVE it. It tastes better and better every day it seems.
I can't say the same about any other Acai juice I've tried from the stores, or the other MLM juices that I've tried.
MonaVie tastes the best.
Goto my site if you want, it's not the usual MonaVie website.

I understand that Monavie has alot of different ingredients that could provide health benefits. For a great fruit juice product that's worth taking over a long time look for: research abstracts on each botanical on Pubmed (in other words you want science), look for a long history of people taking the individual ingredients for health benefits, look for a product that tastes good enough that everybody from kids to elders can take it. Alot of people wont' take pills, capsules, or powders because of the hassle. Zrii has 7 botanicals for a comparison look into http://www.amalakipros.com for amalaki juice info. I also take Monavie and it is awesome...wouldn't be without it!

While this looks promising the reality is that it still comes down to your own efforts. If you are going to wait for others to give you spillover you will be waiting until the cows come home. Promise of spillover is only for lazy people that want something for nothing.My best advise find something that will give you results based upon your effort and find a mentor that will truly help you become successful in your venture.Spillover is a myth because everyone is looking for it and no one does any work or even get the product.So I ask why even get involved with something like that to only spin you wheels.

I have noticed many benefits already and its been 5 weeks. Do you expect your body to heal itself in 2 weeks. We live an average around 80 yrs and you want results in 2 months. WOW and for the most part im pleased with monavie and my sponser. And i have seen direct results including cholesterol triglyceride levels and blood pressure. Actually doctor reports per month. And as for the post about only the ppl making money are feeling good. "find someone to give you a bottle" OK you want a bottle. Contact me

This is a good natural health product and fruit juice but is this company world-class, and can they attract top networkers which is needed to achieve and maintain momentum? MLM companies are evaluated based upon six elements of due diligence which are: management team, product or service, compensation plan, branding expertise, timing, and tools systems training and support. The weaker elements here: (1) Timing is no longer on their side the product is absolutely saturated especially in the states of California and Florida; (2) the management team has chosen to NOT let the distributors create their own websites and marketing so they're left with using only company-approved replicating websites which is a major restriction/downfall for online marketers; (3) the management team has chosen to include sodium benzoate in the formula which is a no-no do some research on your own; (4) the management team has chosen the Binary comp plan, and while this plan is legitimate and often used, professional network marketers seek comp plans with more flexibility such as the unilevel with dynamic compression. With Monavie you only get paid on your short leg. With the unilevel you can earn on every single transaction in your organization if you're staying ahead of your group in rank. Summary of 4 out of 6 key element weaknesses: management team decisions/choices, timing, comp plan, product with sodium benzoate not good.

He's a lunatic who ripped alot of people off on Ebay. They shut him down and now he's ranting about the owner of Amazon Thunder. Alot of honest people spent money with him and he ripped them off. And he's nasty, just read his replies. Who cares where Amazon Thunder gets whatever. Mona Vie must be desparate for them to be using a jerk like this to sell their product.

What kind of ignorant idiot is this guy Daniel? I ask an honest question and he comes up with something about my wife. After reading his post I can't help but think he's got problems. He doesn't like anyone or anything. I hope he's not a Mona Vie Rep. I'll seek my answers elsewhere.

Can anyone tell me? I have been taking monavie but have been noticing that I have been getting a rash from it? has anyone else experienced this?
I am also wondering if it is the preservatives and pesticides in it from the non organic fruits?
thanks

Does anyone want to know WERE Amazon Thunder buys there Acai!?!?! AND were you can purchase the same exact products, FROM that supplier, at MUCH LOWER PRICES!!!
He removes one more e-bay listing on me before I get it stopped, you will ALL know, and I will post the links, AND the numbers were you may purchase it!!

Bla Bla Bla Bla
Anyone else?
So Pathetic!
I don't need this blog to get traffic to my site, I need it to prove the owner of Amazon Thunder is Evil!
No, with Monarch sueing them for $75,000 in damages, I dont think Mona Vie cares if I am here. IF THEY tell me to leave, I will!
You seem rather defensive for some reason, and not once have I tried to caompair anything I sell to Mona Vie OR Amazon Thunder for that matter.
Who would buy Vitamins off e-bay you ask, when there are Tuns of Mona Vie auctions on there. Vitamins, Supplements, Juice, whats the difference?
Please, are there any inteligent posters on this thing that are still around?
GEEEZZEE
Posted by: Daniel | March 17, 2008 at 08:11 PM
Daniel, why would I be praising Monavie if I was working with Amazon Thunder? You are not very smart I can see..stop your stupid posts..it's old and no one cares about your issues..it is a pathetic attempt for you to try to get traffic to your ebay listings..
Who in the world would buy supplements off of ebay anyway? You would have to be pretty desperate..are you a Monavie distributor or ever been one or ever signed up? That is the only way your allowed on here..if not don't post..
thx

Care to Explain WHY??

Mr Daniel, look at you? Did you drop out of school in grade 2 or something? You spell like some Nigerian scam artist. You leave red flags everywhere. Are you from Nigeria? If so get the heck outta here and stop talking about other companies other than what this place is intended for!

If you do not stop your non sence here, I will also Past the evidence on the internet to defend myself.
Why don't you stick to posting about Mona Vie on here since this is a Mona Vie Chat Boared.
BEFORE you tell me the same, I think my evidence about Todd Reum and Amazon Thunder has Great Relevance here since he is being sued by Mona Vie for similar illegal activity he has done to them.
I will help Mona Vie in ANYWAY Possable and urge them to Call The Toll-Free Number on my website at there erliest convienience.
I am also shure that if I am doing anything wrong or saying anything wrong, the moderator of this board would delete my posts, and I would gladly leave.
I urge you Mr. Bush, to back off before you get in worse trouble.
Also, You WILL be refunded for the 500mg 60ct Capsule Bottle I failed to deliver to you, AS STATED in an e-mail to you.
I find it Odd you leave ALL those POSiTIVE feedbacks, then claim you don't like my product, Claim you NEVER RECEIVED IT, when you did, and left the feedbacks!!

Left Posative feedbacks on My Products, THEN stated he never got them and left negative feedbacks!
http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=trailrider1960&ftab=FeedbackLeftForOthers
So who is telling the truth and WHO is lying!!
I also have ALL the delivery comfirmation tickets to prove it!
Realy shows your credibility George. Might as well move along, NO ONE will trust or believe you now!!
You don't think we don't Save everything, Especialy knowing we are dealing with a malicious Amazon Thunder??
We are contacting EVERYONE Todd Reum contacted and harrased! We have many from the internet, as well as from the ALL the Documents on the Court case against him by Mona Vie!

OHH and Mona Vie is probable licking there chops over all this, MORE than I do every time I eat a purple pouch of Original and Green pouch of active! I have made two purchases on e-bay one for the active and one for the original about 2 months ago!

In regards to the comment below...just look up his name on Ebay. He's taking peoples money and not sending them anything. After a while you get tired of hearing him. Sarcastically I say "it must be everyone else and not him". Then he takes up space on here accusing everyone of everything. Sad really...it's a shame he took alot of peoples money and delivered nothing in return....Very sad....Oh and he's sueing everyone too...Like I said " it's not him it's everyone else". I relly want to make him a couple of bowls of cry baby soup....Geeeze
Posted by: GB | March 17, 2008 at 12:16 PM
Would like to add, so that people KNOW I am telling the truth even more!
On e-bay Find a Member, Type the following, and SEE what comes Up!?!

fda_usa_fine_damn_acai = fda_usa_fine_damn_acai
fda_usa = mydawson007 (TWO Zeros)
Are you as confused as I am???
It's obvious how shaddy this person is, and he has alot of people angry at him, THATS why he HIDES with all his fake aliases!!

Angel, (3 posts Down) I am unaware of the Distributor program Mona Vie offers. The only affiliate program I found fro Amazon Thunder, charges a $50 yearly fee.
The templet website Amazon Thunder gives you is no big deal, and you can make your own website very easily and quickly.
Amazon Thunder can pay you a higher commision, PLUSS ship the item to your customer (drop shipping) due to there rediculously high prices.
I have very little knolede about Mona Vie, just know I recently tried there juice, and loved it!
As far as Amazon Thunder's Acai Capsules and Acai Powder, I know all about it, even know were they buy there Acai From!
Amazon Thunder is NOT REGISTERED with the FDA!
I have a link to a site were it mentions Amazon Thunder was SHUT DOWN by the FDA. I will be confirming it this week.
I am not bitter at all, but I am not going to let someone reuen by Business and attack me like he has done others.
Would you care to Explain THIS!
http://www.caoh.com/liquid-vitamin-blog/?p=196
I can't WAIT for a reply!!
WHY is Mona Vie SUING Todd Reum, owner of Amazon Thunder??
https://ecf.utd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/show_public_doc?2007cv0509-15
Care to Explain That!!!
No one has shut me down, I chose to shut down untill this issue is resolved. We are concentrating our time on stopping Todd Reum from lieing and giving people faulse information on his web site, missleading consumers.
Its a law that if you market your vitamin & Supplement products in the United States, you MUST be registerd with the FDA!! Amazon Thunder is NOT REGISTERD!
I did run into a trademark issue with Amazon Thunder, and removed there name from all my e-bay listings when I got a warning from E-bay, three listings were removed. Even after removing there name, my listings got removed. I then noticed a similar description and removed that, only to have them STILL Removed! I finally gave for know, until I get it stopped.
I had 100% posative feedbacks on my product sales on E-bay and qualified for Power Seller Status in 3-5 months.
Since Amazon Thunder's attacks I have been unable to fill orders, and when your listings are removed, they get deleted from your "items Sold" section, witch is one of the resons orders have now not been filled.
The delisitngs and negative feedback from Amazon Thunder spys has reuned my businnes on e-bay and scared customers into a frenzy of complaints and disputes.
We have put up our website with information on Todd Reum and Amazon Thunder, and how he attacks his competitors. The website is being updated daily.
Nothing I have posted here or on my website are lies, and the two links above prove alot of it!
Again, please explain them, I can't WAIT to here your answer!!
The only lunatic is Todd Reum! He attacks people and THATS why he is hidding!!
Mona Vie is suing him for $75,000 in damages! He had fake customers (spys) e-mail me with questions, hoping I would Defam his Amazon Thunder Product(s) just like he did to Mona Vie, but it didnt work!
Todd Reum has also threatend me with bodily harm in an e-mail. Therefore I had to leave my dogs by the front gate to bark if someone approches.
He has also changed his user name on e-bay SEVERAL TIMES with one being fda_us and sending me an e-mail PRETENDING TO BE THE FDA and requestion I send my products to them.
Here it is. Will scan and post it later!
Dear fibromyalgiafighter,
Please send 1 each of all your products to the following address for inspection:
Food and Drug Administration
5600 Fishers Lane
Rockville, Maryland 20857
For more proof I am not lieing, if you go to e-bay click top right on site map. Then half way down to the right click on FIND A MEMBER.
Type in mydawson07, WHAT DO YOU SEE?! You see fda_usa_fine_damn_aci NOW, HOW would I know this!!! I need not say anymore! ALSO, if you look, you will see the indicator by the user name indicating the persons id has been changed within the last 30 days!
He also as I mentioned above, used the id fda_us with a request I send Products. This is punishable with up to 3 YEARS in PRISION!
Reum also uses the e-bay ID mydawson007 witch has also shows the id change indicator. He first e-mailed me with this id and then changed it to fda_us and now changed it back to mydawson007
Then he started contacting me using mydawson07 hoping I wouldnt notice the second zero removed.
That ID stated the location was in Canada!
NOW, who is the lunatic here!?!?!
We are suing Reum for destroying our business, and all his spy e-mails pretending to be customers, are being traced.
NOW, would you care to answer these following questions?? We asked Todd Reum from Amazon Thunder, and NEVER received a reply, yet received e-mails in responds to the questions, all with the questions being IGNORED!
1) WERE are Amazon Thunder's FDA Approved Facilities?
2) WHY is Amazon Thunder NOT REGISTERED with the Food and Drung Administration (FDA)?
3) HOW can you have FDA approved Products, bottles, and ESPECIALY Facilities, but NOT be registerd with them, witch is THE LAW!
4) WHY is there Corporate Address a VIRTUAL ADDRESS?!?!
5) Why if you want to return a product you purchased from them, you have to send it to a DIFFERENT ADDRESS!?! Hence, because the Corporate Address is a VIRTUAL ADDRESS!?!?!
6) WHY, is Amazon Thunder being SUED by Mona Vie??

Posted by: Punch | March 17, 2008 at 06:22 AM
Cheryl: dosage should be between 1-2 ozs. 2x daily. 25 oz per bottle should equal 8-9 days for an individual.
Posted by: Punch | March 17, 2008 at 06:19 AM
Ive been a distributor with Both Monavie and an affiliate with Amazon Thunder who pays direct 20% more than Ive seen with anyone and they give you your own site and ship right to your customers and you don't need to do any purchasing or anything! There is no obligation, pretty cool program! Both companies are completely legitimate Daniel and incorporated, so stop making things up that is defamation, Amazon Thunder has never been closed down by the FDA and has products registered with the USDA and all of their materials are FDA registered, their packers are FDA registered and they have been in exsistence for over 3 years now..sounds like your bitter because you were shut down for copyright infringment, you should just play by the rules and Im sure you wouldn't land yourself in trouble, from what Ive seen youve made quite a bad name for yourself.
So stop with your lies they won't help your company. Ever stop to think Todd Reum keeps his personal address revealed to protect himself from lunatics like you?

I read comments here about Mona Vie and Amazon Thunder. Mona Vie is Suing Amazon Thunder.
https://ecf.utd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/show_public_doc?2007cv0509-15
It seems Amazon Thunder also attacks other competitors!!
http://www.caoh.com/liquid-vitamin-blog/?cat=9&paged=2
Amazon Thunder claims to have FDA approved Manufacturing Faciliteis in the United states, yet I can not find any and he is not even registerd with the FDA!!
Is Corporation Address is a VIRTUAL ADDRESS!!!
Why is Amazon Thunder's product return address DIFFERENT from there "so Called" Corporate Headquarters Address!!
Why Does Todd Reum, owner of Amazon Thunder, have aliases in British Columbia Alberta Canada?
He has virtual phone numbers EVERYWERE!
Why was he shut down by the FDA once already?
He was a club Mona Vie manager and then he turned on them!
I have lists and lists of e-mails he sent to Mona Vie Customers!!
Todd Ruem has e-mailed me several times pretending to be customers, hoping I would incriminate myself like he has and thats why Monavie is sueing him!!
Why if I just have a little pee on crap website and business, did Amazon Thunder attack me too, and has all my e-bay listings removed by abusing the report listing feature!!
Poster Adis and Greg Brown are nothing more that Amazon Thunder sellers/distributors.
Poster George Bush was an Amazon Thunder Customer, then came to me for the lower price. Go look on E-bay under fibromyalgiafighter. Look at all the great feedbacks he gave me!!
Unfortunently during all the turmoil caused by Todd Reum's attacks, I forgot to send George Bush a 60ct bottle of my 500mg Capsules, The bigger ones, Same Size as Amazon Thunder's
So now he has turned on me and is crawling back to amazon thunder.
He is lieing and saying he never got products that he did indeed get, and all my e-mails from him and the feedbacks from him, PROVE IT!
He has sent false claims to paypal, and everything is documented and printed, and we have filed a lawsuit against him at the Albany Court House, for defimation and other damages.
Does ANYONE Know were Todd Reum is?
I will know soon enough, when we prosecute him, and also show up on his cort date with Mona Vie in Utah!
I am faxing over all my evidence to
MONARCH HEALTH SCIENCES, INC. Makers of Mona Vie Tomorrow March 16.
I will do anything possable to help Mona Vie Prosecute Todd Reum, owner of Amazon Thunder, and when they are done he will be right back in court again with The Fibromyalgia Store Inc.
You can visit my website at

and YES it needs ALOT of work and we are hiring a profesional web designer to create is, but just want to put somthing up quick so our effected customer, and new customers know THE TRUTH!
Posted by: Daniel | March 16, 2008 at 07:21 PM
Hi, I just recently signed up as a member of the MonaVie group. My brother inlaw introduced us to the product. I have been reading your posts and was wondering, how many ounces are we supposed to be drinking a day? My brother in law stated that we need to drink 4 oz total a day, so that would mean that the bottle would last only a week. now in an above post someone stated that a bottle would last 3 weeks? and is it true that 2 oz is equal to 6 servings of fruit? I am just starting out at this and still in the learning process. I would appreciate any info or advice you guys have to offer.
Posted by: Cheryl | March 16, 2008 at 06:36 PM
I hear all the hoopla about take this product and drink that product but with Mona Vie I have seen the results. My husband had already seen the surgeon about having surgery on his shoulder. He could barely lift his arm out to the side any longer, within the first 10 days he was noticing improvement and now after his 3rd bottle he is able to raise his arm above his head and lift and throw things again. While I do not even begin to claim that Mona Vie cured him, it definetly has helped to give him some pain free time and he has been able to forget about surgery for now as we continue to drink the Mona Vie. I was so thrilled that I spoke with others I know who take the product and they all have had a decrease in joint pain. It was enough for me to decide to share this drink with others and my husband and I are now distributors of the product. It is expensive to buy with the economy like it is but I cannot even imagine what the surgery would have cost us after insurance and then loss of work. The cost of the drink based on what it gives in nutrients so your body can help itself is priceless to me at any cost. If you were to put a pencil to it the averall cost sinc the bottle last three weeks is just over $15.00 per week. I spent that much just in the supermarket trying to buy juice and vitamins that never seemed to help.

I've had my experence with Fibromyalgyafighter and he promises a lot but delivers very little. His caps are half the size of Amazon Thunder. Only sends half your order and won't return your money as promised in his Ebay ads. And he's done this with several people that I know about. He sends filthy emails in reply. My advise is if you want Acai, buy Mona Vie or Amazon Thunder (my favorite) or Sambazon. They deliver what they promise and stand behind what they sell...and have great products....Just my opinion ya know
Posted by: G. L. Bush | March 16, 2008 at 02:58 AM
yeah I heard of the fibromyalgiafighter on ebay..heard he is in a lot of hot water because he tried to cash in by using Amazon Thunder keywords in his listings to try to bring in traffic to his listings..I was a former buyer of you. Not anymore. You violated a lot of trust on ebay. Amazon Thunder makes great products you should just do your own thing and mind your own biz..you can't try to steal peoples keywords to try to bring listings in. It is against the law. MONAVIE is MONAVIE and this blog is for MONAVIE ONLY NOT YOUR LITTLE STORE! Monavie does their own gig, Amazon Thunder theirs and if you were smart you would do your own and stop trying to advertise yourself on Monavie blogs..you are no one.

Stop trying to promote your store or subpar products on this page, this is about Monavie not about anyone else and you can't begin to even compare with your subpar little fibryo products to Monavies, your intent on here is obviously to try to recruit people to by your at Home Packed Products from what I can see in their pictures they look like just that, get lost. I also saw on ebay where you were actually calling Monavie, "Monapee" care to explain that, have a good lawyer to back you up on that? I also just saw your horrible ratings on ebay under the user id "fibromyalgifighter" on there just moments ago, seems you owe people $ and run a shady little operation. You should clearly only take Monavie as it is the only solid product on the market with a reputable backing, stop trying to bring your shady little yahoo store operation on here, guys like you come and go all the time..Ive heard lots of bad things about you on ebay..so as for your credibility? Who listens? I sure won't your two bit, Amazon Thunder is also not an MLM company and should not be mentioned on here. THIS IS A BLOG FOR MONAVIE! GET WITH IT!

It's a non-flushing binary. It is easiest to look at it as getting paid 10% on one leg but really it equals 5% of PV on both sides. Leftover PV remains and you will get paid on that as well when more gets sold - you don't lose your PV.
Posted by: Peggy | March 13, 2008 at 10:50 PM
From an Independent Distributor view exactly what is it that makes this fruit juice stand out from the crowded marketplace. Any good MLM needs to have at least six key elements in place, and they also need to excel in all areas to pass the due diligence test. What type of network marketing comp plan does MonaVie use? Is it a matrix or binary or what as I haven't been able to discover or download their comp plan. The distributors I've talked to with this company are not thrilled with the fact that they can only qualify to get paid on one leg, so it must be a binary comp plan. The unilevel with dynamic compression I believe is a superior plan because you have the opportunity to get paid on every single case of juice sold in your MLM organization no matter how deep your leg(s) is and you can even get paid 5 levels deep with only having a single leg. An example of a company that uses this pay plan is Zrii Amalaki which is introduced at http://www.amalakifreedom.blogspot.com however other leading companies based in Utah also use the unilevel with dynamic compression compensation plan. If Monavie uses the binary then other key elements should compensate for this weaker element in my opinion.

What really makes MonaVie is not just the acaiberry. The natives have been have using this berry for centuries. What makes MonaVie so unique and powerful is the scientific blend of the other 18 fruits 2oz. twice a day gives you a complete serving 3 to 5 servings of fruits and veggies our body needs. If you fuel the body (which is already unique in itself) with the right nutrients and supplements. Then your begins to improve on healing and repairing itself
at a faster rate and you it helps you to feel younger,your digestive and immune system increases. Think about it as a inexpensive workout. This process takes time nothings overnight. So i say to everyone isn't it great that we can actually overdose on something thats good for you and natural. Drink MonaVie i can show you how to drink for free visit: http://thesilverbullet.com/premier or 888-534-8765

That complaint drives me CRAZY! Any food you find on the grocers shelf lists the ingredients in order of what is contained most to least without specific percentages or measurements. None of them say specifics either. I don't see anyone screaming that General Mills claims Cheerios help reduce cholesterol but (GASP!) they don't reveal the anoiumt of whole oats in the formula!!!! People just want to find a reason to not try something that might help them - their loss.
Posted by: Peggy | March 12, 2008 at 07:39 AM
2oz MonaVie is = 6cups of fruit.
Folks that feel great from it is because they dont eat well... If you don't think MonaVie works.. great for you .. Not only do I love the juice.. I make very good money with it.. I have only invested $250 per month, unless i need extra product, then it is a little more. I designed my own training site with all the tools needed to be successful. And, I actively work with my team to help them grow... My personal sponsors average about $500 a week. I have only been doing this for about 2 months and I am well on my way to success. It is not easy and we do not encourage false tales of the juice. Truth be told, if you eat well and exercise.. you probably wont feel a tremendous change.. as a distributor you only pay $30/bottle that lasts 3 weeks, compared to acai splash at gnc that is $40/bottle lasts only 2 weeks.. I think this is a good deal. kAlso, everyone is talking about how monavie wont reveal the acai berry amount added to the juice... Coke does not even reveal their secret ingredient and you still drink it.. I think that some people are bitter because they thought if they spent $39 and put no effort into it, the magic MonaVie juice would make them rich. And nope, it doesn't work that way. Nor does anything else in life. Stop pointing the finger and take accountability for your life. :)

You are right Woody. Especially if you can manage to find oranges that haven't been artificially ripened or grown in mineral depleted soil. Take those babies with the skin and pulp and add them to 18 other fruits from other parts of the world that also are not from mineral depleted soil and also are not artificially ripened in a warehouse somewhere and you might just get a chance to feel your body in balance and operating as nature intended :) Thus the "healing" sensation. You won't know that feeling and really won't feel it trying to get your 5-9 a day from the shelves of our grocers - even the healthy or organic fruits you can find have sat long enough their benefits are greatly diminished. I would HATE to think what it would cost to try and buy the equivalent amount of fruit with the proper nutritional values that would satisfy what our body needs. I'll keep eating the fruits and veggies I can find but will also keep drinking my MonaVie and enjoying the low cholesterol and no more aches in my surgically fixed knees :)
Posted by: Peggy | March 10, 2008 at 05:27 PM
Mona Vie is a fruit juice, an expensive fruit juice, nothing more. If you like it great, if you do not like it, do not buy it. There are alternate fruit juices out there, such as fresh squeezed orange juice which has great nutritional benefits.
ALL claims of increased "healthiness" due to consumption of anything are purely opinions of people, NOT MEDICALLY PEER REVIEWED SCIENTIFIC DATA.
Posted by: L. Woody | March 10, 2008 at 03:15 PM
Barb:
I have not heard of Zrii Amalaki so I cannot comment on its nutritional value. What I can say about MonaVie is the acai berry is the jewel of this wellness beverage. Scientific studies have revealed some pretty amazing attributes surrounding the acai berry. It is the highest antioxidant gram for gram compared to any other berry, fruit, vegetable, etc. The ORAC score of Blueberry scores a 94, and the Acai scores a whopping 1,027 gram for gram. Dr. Stephen Talcott studies the acai at University of Florida Institute of Food and Agriculture Sciences and discovered that the acai berries triggered a self-destruct response in more than 86 percent of leukemia cells tested. Of course this was only a cell-culture model, and he couldn't say that it is a cure... BUT WOW, that's pretty amazing. The scientific validation of the acai has numerous of mentions from the protection of cells, to the fight of free radicals, strengthens immune system, reduces inflammation, lowers cholesterol, loaded with amino acids, helps reduce the risk of cancer, combats effects of diabetes, helps digestion, inhibits platelet aggregation and clotting, helps prostate, provides essential fatty acids, gives your brain a boots of mental clarity, strengthens vision, strengthens the heart, strengthens nervous system, and so on and so on... and did I mention it makes your skin supple? And helps with PMS? MonaVie is also loaded with 18 other fruits and they all work together to provide your body with synorgery. Keep drinking the MonaVie. . . you'll see. Ann Marie, Bend OR
PS. Not all ACAI is the same. MonaVie has the propritory patent on the process of the ACAI that allows the berry to keep its nutritional value once harvested. After 24 hrs of the berry being harvested it looses 100% of its nutritional value... MonaVie's acai doesn't loose it's awesome power after havested due to the special patent processing!
Posted by: Ann Marie | March 08, 2008 at 09:37 PM
I've been trying the Monavie now for about three weeks and so far I think it is a good fruit juice product. With all the botanicals in this juice certainly there are natural health benefits but it takes awhile to show up and actually feel something. Other distributors are reporting great results on the first bottle...certainly this company is professional in their marketing approaches. Has anybody heard of the Zrii Amalaki fruit juice http://www.amalaki-fruit.com and how does it compare to MonaVie? I guess only time will tell and a doctors visit to do some tests will be helpful in evaluating long term potential. More MonaVie testimonials would be great...is there a site available for testimonials?
Posted by: Barbara Davis | March 06, 2008 at 02:03 PM
Going Once, Twice. . . I'm no idiot! SOLD! After three days of consuming MonaVie consistently I had more energy then ever before. Yes, maybe I was nutrition deficient. And that is why my symptoms (tired, achy joints, BIG TIME PMS victim, waking up in the middle of the night, and tired skin) have all dissipated after 3 weeks. To be honest, I am not a pill popper. I am not consistent in popping vitamins that never seemed to give results. MonaVie's blend of 19 different fruits is a delicious beverage that I look forward to taking. It is jammed packed Antioxidants, Phytonutrients, Essential Fatty Acids, Amino Acid, Vitamins, Minerals, Complex Carbs, Dietary Fiber and Trace Minerals. Not to mention it's unparalleled antioxidant levels that blow doors on any other fruit known to man. Don't bother to disproved that statment either. I've done my research! You wanna be proactive in your health, give MonaVie a try. Regardless if I become a diamond, (a business level of achievement with MonaVie) I don't care. . . I decided to share the wealth and get this product in front of as many people I can. It's AMAZING!! We Americans are loosing a battle with disease. This week alone, I have heard of several friends that family members have recently been diagnosed with cancer. My own mother died at 47 years old. She hated Chemo ! We are not a starving country, just the opposite, we are starving nutritionally! We are a fat over indulgent nation consuming processed fast food . . . no wonder we are keeling over before our prime. Be proactive in your health. MonaVie is backed by science!! Know a kid suffering from ADHD? Try a healthy diet loaded with the essentials and consistent parenting!! >> Check out www.blackdiamondunversity.com
Health and Wealth to all! Ann Marie, Bend OR!

Hey Oscar
Just go the MonaVieOnTheMove.com and the income disclosure is proudly displayed on the front page. This one is actually fairly outdated, the new one will be much more impressive, but basically it's still an exciting report. If you go to their Leaders page, you will see that there are tons more Distributors in the higher ranks then reported in the disclosure. The disclosure is a pretty good guideline to what each person earns on the Leaders page.

The reason Amazon Thunder doesn't mention MonaVie is because Mr. Reum, the owner of Amazon Thunder, knows his is a sub-standard product compared to MonaVie. He is also an ex MonaVie Distributor so he knows that comparing his very low quality Acai to the Acai that MonaVie uses would be the kiss of death for Amazon Thunder.
Basically it's also sour grapes, MonaVie was not interested in purchasing his sub-standard Acai some years back and they went directly to the major harvesters in Brazil instead.
Next to the country of Brazil, MonaVie is now the largest consumer of Acai in the world. I doubt that Amazon Thunder's total yearly sales even come close to just what MonaVie pays out in commissions to their hard working Distributors each month.

I don't understand: If Amazon Thunder is so much better than Mona Vie why don't they mention Mona Vie on their website? I checked every page of their website and they mention Goji, Noni and Mangosteen and pound away at those while attempting to sound like they are complimenting them and then they DO NO MENTION MONA VIE. Could it be because there is no contest?

Lisa - when did you try it? MonaVie has been using plant derived glucosamine for awhile. Even when the glucosamine was from shellfish - it was taken from the shell - not the protein part of the shellfish.
We started drinking MV as a last resort over a year ago when the Dr. was going to put my husband on statin meds. I didn't tell ANYONE we were dirnking a beverage/supplement to try and help. That really isn't our thing. In 90 days his cholesterol went down to levels low enough that the Dr. took him off 90 day checks and recommendation for meds. We have no prescription co-pays so that is a great thing!
When we "came out of the closet" and told a couple close friends they tried it. I now have friends personally who have reduced or alleviated symptoms from tendonitis, arthritis, heel spurs, back pain, blood pressure. Another friend tells me that her husband's recovery from his chemo treatnments has gone from 8 days to none. I still am somewhat dumbfounded when I hear these stories as I am a skeptic by nature. It beats the heck out of prescription meds and painkillers - thats for sure!
No it isn't curing any of these things. It is a matter of feeding your body right and it will heal itself as nature intended. Whomever says that it is too expensive might rather be buying $5 cups of coffee or Red Bull vs. spending $3 - $5 a day on something great for your body. We will continue drinking and respect those who choose not to as well. It's a personal decision. I know that feeling and that doubt about trying something like this - that is where I come from. But seeing and living it is also believing. I am so glad to have found Monavie!

I personally tried monavie and had a bad reaction from the shellfish content, because of the heavy metals contained in the shellfish. I am also on an anti-candida diet where fruit is not allowed, because fruit can make candida or fungus grow and create all sorts of problems. I have found a different way to help my antioxidant intake without supplements. In fact, the physician I work with has a way of testing people for intolerances to supplements and he found many people could not use Monavie, because of the sugars contained from the fruit, as well as the supplement that contains the shellfish. Maybe many people do not feel sick from certain supplements, but I can tell you that people with diabetes are in big trouble drinking stuff like this. And, taking one supplement cannot possibly be the answer to all health problems, it would be like taking a broken computer and trying to shove any hardrive into it and expecting it to work. The body needs more than a supplement to fix it and many people have different levels of toxicities in their bodies that need to be removed. They can actually become sicker and add more toxins to their bodies especially if they take the wrong product or supplement, as I have found. All of these different types of marketing such as herbal life and amway products were all marketing hypes. I had a friend who got food poisoning from the herbalife liquid vitamin drink. Someone introduced her to Monavie and she refused to go through that risk again. All I know is, this stuff made me sick and I can't imagine pushing it on to someone else, But if it works for you, good luck! hope you're well.

Hi John,
First up... The way MonaVie has designed the compensation plan in my opinion, is brilliant!
You stated in your post..."you may not know how to figure this out' and no offence but your right, I can't figure out what you just tried to explain. I am a MonaVie rep/independent distributor or which ever way you want to look at it and I have studied the compensation plan. Admittedly I don't have it all figured out yet for I am fairly new to this business but with all that said I know enough to realise a good thing!
If you want to talk numbers there's variations to consider. You first have to be active & qualified to receive team commissions. Commissions are paid out on the lesser leg, at 10%. Now imagine if, on your lesser leg you have one person, (for example) Adam on 500pv's Sophie on 200, Jack on 200 and Samatha on 100 that's a total of 1000 pv's. If you met the criteria of being active & qualified you would earn a $100 in team commissions which in essence is 10% paid out on your lesser leg. If you do your maths your realise with a bit of effort it won't take long to reach certain goals!
Also, it is not unrealistic for reps to purchase over 200pv's for the simple fact that it is cheaper to buy in bulk and if you want to kick start your business than it is realistic to have more than enough product on hand to share with friends & family.
In saying that, there is still a lot more to learn and a lot more to be taught which I will not get into at this point. If you want help to understand more click on my name which will take you to my website and then you can contact me. I have lots of useful information I am willing to pass on.
For those who aren't afraid to take risk's I wish you all the best, and I leave you with this... For those who would rather build "pipelines" than "carry buckets"...
MonaVie 4 Life!

What a great blog thread!
There are testimonials on the Monavie product...people getting out of wheel chairs and putting their canes in the closet...LOL, just being sarcastic because the testimonials are impressive and are life changing. I don't dispute or judge the testimonials either. Just remember, you need to be VERY careful about how you deliver testimonials...ever play the "telephone game" when you were little, where you whisper into a persons ear who repeats into the next person and so on? Testimonials in MLM have a way of coming out VERY different down the line. If posting a testimonial, it needs to be from the source...in fact, collect your own testimonials from the source so you know it's legit and can have confidence when sharing and present them in a manner that isn't saying it's curing anything.
Anyways, I'm on board with Acai Berry juice and it's benefits. Acai is good stuff and studies have shown it to be good. Enough said.
What has yet to be pointed out in this discussion is the "design" of Monavie's compensation plan.
Does anyone know the minimum number of reps it takes below you to get into profit on TEAM COMMISSIONS for Monavie? Anyone? Monavie reps, do you know?
I think I have it figured out but am looking for some confirmation.
I'm looking for the minimum reps below you for :
- 100PV purchase by the rep trying to get into profit with reps below them purchasing the same 100PV
and
- 200PV purchase by the rep trying to get into profit with reps below them purchasing the same 200PV
*And don't figure reps buying more than the 100/200PV above, that would be unrealistic. 200PV at $230 is probably unrealistic for the avg rep but figure it at 200PV as well to get the rep count lower.
You might not know how to figure this out, I can share what I think the answer is but am looking to actual Monavie reps or those who've looked at the plan.
Also, when you get a number, don't be scared to post the number you come up with and how you arrived at the number. I say don't be scared because I don't want you to back out of posting it to this comment thread.
Can't wait to see what people come up with!
Posted by: John | February 18, 2008 at 01:26 PM
I tried MonaVie in May of2007. I think people that put products down should at least be objective, research other like products and try it for a minimum of 3-6 months. I can honestly say that I have never felt better. I kept an open mind, tried it, researched a lot, and then made my decision to become a distributor because I want other people to do the same as I. I think that everybodies body chemistry is different and then product reacts differently to everyone. Some lose weight, blood pressure and cholesterol levels go down ( my husband's did) I felt a big difference in my energy level ( i had a thyroid condition) my back and knee pain had decreased to a very tolerable level. My family is all taking it and some of my friends. I am hopeing to make a business out of it some day. I had the oppurtunity to talk with Geoff Bodine and was very impressed in what he had to say. Many athletes are using this product and I can certainly see why. Baseball players, socker players, football players, etc. Again I just want to tell people to give it a try before they make any negative judgements on this product.
Check out my website that I try to put some updated info on.

Hey guys, I've got a question for any reps out there.
I keep seeing the same business about the proprietary blend of fruits contained in MonaVie, While the info seems split down the middle of whether it's the blend of 19 fruits or the Acai berry that is so effective in the product.
The Argument that keeps coming up, is:
"Well, KFC has their own blend of herbs and spices, you don't ask THEM to reveal their recipe, do ya?!?!"
Herein lies my problem with the product, and I welcome any comments about it:
If KFC said, "Hey, we've got testimonies of people eating our chicken and tumors are shrinking, limbs are regenerating, and my 105 year old grandma (formerly bedridden) is dancing around like the little Six Flags Guy! The most powerful ingredient in our herb and spice blend is our garlic powder, only freeze-dried, etc..."
Now, if the garlic in this example (acai) is the MOST effective ingredient, but, as with KFC, you need the other supporting players to fully realize the efficacy of the product, why not say Exactly how much Acai is in each serving of Monavie ? The rest of the blend could stay the same, and I don't see what the detriment MonaVie would suffer should this fact be made known.
I understand I'll be stamped with the same "SKEPTIC" label as anyone else, but i'd like to hear from anyone who can give me an answer without it being littered with testimonies that honestly mean nothing to me.
Also, I think the problem is not coming from MonaVie themselves, I believe it's irresponsible distributors saying just about anything to people who want relief from pains. The term "Snake Oil" comes to mind....
Also, one other thing, I've heard other reps say that, by law, a company must list their ingredients in descending order from most common to least. The MonaVie bottle states " A PROPRIETARY blend of freeze-dried Acai..."
When you say, "Proprietary Blend" that means all the "Descending ingredient list laws" are gone.
I also dislike when people say, "Oh, you skeptics, your life must be so sad, you don't trust anyone, blah blah blah" I would rather KNOW what I am putting into my body.
Posted by: Andrew | February 14, 2008 at 02:18 PM
I'm not a distributor, just a drinker. My dad distributes though.
Since my family has been drinking Monavie, I've noticed that I'm not longer sore after a hard day at work or at the gym. I have more energy and i sleep much better.
My grandpa had bad arthritis in his knees. He started with a low ibuprofen dosage, went up to anti inflammatories, then eventually cortizone shots and the doctor finally said "hey, you're 78! deal with it". He tried monavie and after 6 weeks, his knees are fine and knee replacement isn't even a thought!
My grandma has parkinsons and couldnt even lift a cup of coffee to drink. After just 2 weeks on monavie, she drinks 2 cups every morning!
Say what you will, but it works for me and my family and i'll keep on drinking it!
Posted by: Brian | February 09, 2008 at 09:52 AM
Amazon thunder is a acai berry PULP, not a freeze dried processed powder like Monavie. THe acai looses more than 75% of its nutritional value if its not freeze dried within 24 hours.
Amazon Thunder is good for you but it has nothing on Monavie....otherwise Amazon Thunder would be the fastest growing nutritional supplement in the world.

I was just told by my Uncle who is a Distributor of Mona Vie, that the man who Opened up Little Ceasars, a HUGE Pizza place here in Toledo Ohio, which is a Billion dollar company, is now a distributor of Mona Vie. He is involved with it for the simple fact that he feels 25 again! He doesn't need the money, he wants people to feel as good as he does. Pretty cool, I think.
Posted by: Wendy | February 07, 2008 at 06:18 AM
I am a MonaVie distributor. There are several reasons why. I was given a bottle of MonaVie and in the first few days my energy was back. I was still very skeptical of the business side at that time. I own a very successful fine dining restaurant and really did not need additional income to improve my family or personal comforts. However, after a meeting of unbelievable testimonials I decided to give MonaVie to a few people that I knew needed help with their health...I needed to know that I was not the only person that this juice made a difference for. After some amazing results that people I knew had experienced, I decided to promote MonaVie in addition to my current business. I make around four to five hundred a week at this time and my organization is growing. As I said I really did not need the money but the concept of network marketing was new to me and I fully understand the concept of passive income. If this continues to improve financially as I expect it will, I may slow down in the restaurant business. I am thankful for the health benefits that my family, Friends and I have gained with MonaVie...the business side is just a bonus.
I have been researching a couple of the other juices sold through MLM vehicles and at retail stores only to find many negatives, not with all of them though. The only negative I have found with MonaVie is from someone that has something to gain by doing so.
For those of you that are working your MonaVie business; Keep spreading the good message of health and may you prosper with your efforts.

Ok moose, so you think amazon thunder is better than Monavie??? why get so offensive? I've read alot of post where.. people like yourself mouth off and try their best to find as many flaws as possible about Monavie. The bottom line is.. Monavie is a Brilliant product and there's nothing you or any other skeptic can do to change that! You can throw around as much facts and figures as you like, the bottom line still remains the same.. Monavie is changing peoples lives for the better! I know this first hand and so does my family and there is nothing... absolutely nothing that you, your skeptism and your so called facts can do to change that!

Posted by: kiwigirl | January 26, 2008 at 05:47 PM
Moose,
I cannot tell if you are a Thunder distributor or not. God Bless you either way. I am a Monavie distributor and drinker, also a distributor of GBG's 10 in 1. and I am scorned too, by a lot of Moanviers for carrying/using another functional beverage, or vitamin drink. Monavie's ORAC score, best I can tell, is around 1,000 per oz. And I can't tell you how many people I've met that this product has helped; from energy to Cancer. 10 in 1 has an ORAC score of 2500 per oz. But I can tell you ORAC is only a number. After using both products (10 in 1 and Monavie) I can tell you I defintely feel better on the Monavie than 10 in 1 by iteslf. Why? I don't know, but my energy is more sustained and level on Monavie. The 10 in 1 does have energy producing properties, but they seemed to be more intense and for a shorter duration. I have not tried the Amazon thunder. I am sure it is a great product. Yes, I agree the Monavie is expensive, or more expensive than some other supplements. And feel free to say whatever you wish. In my opinion, Monavie is a premium functional beverage in a convenient, easy to take, great tasting blend. And yes, they don't tell us a lot about it; But I have heard that it has been "analyzed" by the competition, and found to have 9-14% Acai in it. This would make perfect sense, to say the blend has around 10% Acai, and the other 18 fruits are 5% ea, and that totals 100%. And it has 18 other fruits, from across the color spectrum. And when you look in the health food store and see Acai 100 selling for 38-42$ in my area, then the price seems reasonable. The only reason we think it is expensive is because we don't understand the cost/value relationship. I talked to a guy yesterday who had stage 4 Lymphoma, who got on Monavie and now it's all gone. He would gladly pay much more, for what it has done for him , or perceived it has done for him. I for one as a consumer and user, believe in the product as well. And Monavie is not for everyone. Let's face it, if you are a working stiff like me, and can't get a few distributors under you to pay/supplement your habit, then yes, it is expensive. But what is your health worth/ And not to mention, it tastes pretty good.
Posted by: Wes Hudson | January 23, 2008 at 07:00 PM
MonaVie is nothing more then a MLM BS marketing scam... the drink is advertised and pushed as an ACAI drink, not a fruit juice made of 19 juices.
They push the word ACAI and it's benefits, yet the ACAI is very small % of the drink. Absolute BS!! They don't tell you the ORAC... but studies show it's only 600 per serving, and the daily suggest servings is 2-4 oz... from a small bottle at a premium price...
AMAZON THUNDER is certified USDA ORAGNIC, MonaVie is not and has preservatives.
AMAZON THUNDER ORAC rating per 1oz serving is 3000, MonaVie is only 600
AMAZON THUNDER'S bottle is bigger and will last you one month of daily servings, MonaVie will not AND it costs more.
AMAZON THUNDER is truly an ACAI BERRY PULP drink... MonaVie is a slick marketing ploy... an expensive fruit drink served to the sheep...
Posted by: Moose | January 22, 2008 at 08:18 AM
Correction to a previous post. I changed the website name a little. here is what I can say about the 10 in 1
-tastes like an orange flintstone vitamin/ baby aspirin
-1 oz per day does the trick
-produces sustained and almost immediate energy levels
The website is http://www.shopgbg.com/weshudson
It is not a fruit replacement, but a very nice liquid vitamin at an affordable price.
Any questions, call me.

For all you sorry, skeptical and negative people out there. Just because MonaVie doesn't work for you it doesn't mean it doesn't work for anyone else! The truth of the matter is that MonaVie is a fantastic product matched by a fantastic compensation plan! It is a budding business in it's early stages. MonaVie doesn't claim to heal you but it does boosts the body's natural ability to heal itself! The world will always be full of skeptics looking for the worst in things while the rest of us make the best out of Life... For all you haters out there I suggest you do your homework before you go mouthing off about such a brilliant product and as for those that have negative built into their blueprint... we'll even the healthiest juice in the world couldn't change that!!!!

I have been trying Monavie out, and have been documenting my experience on a blog at:
http://texasmonavie.blogspot.com/
I have definitely felt a difference, and I would imagine, based upon my research, that people who don't eat enough fruit in their diet will feel a bigger difference than those who do eat a lot of fruit. Good nutrition is just body fuel.
It would make sense for good nutrition to help fight off body ailments, but to advertise it as anything more than good nutrition would seem to me to be the greed part of the business taking over.
I'm taking a pretty conservative approach to the product, and I have given it to several friends to try out. I waiting for their response, but my family has felt some differences for sure so far.

Hey berrynuts,
Are you sure your "best customer" didn't get that bottle off of ebay? Anyway, I just want to add my two sense in and say how this product really did work for me as I can get a good night's sleep now (it was nearly impossible before). Plus, being your own boss without half the cost, time, stress, and red tape of a conventional business should appeal to everyone!
Thanx,

michaeljp, you need a life! Perhaps you should look into something that gives you joy. Obviously MonaVie is not having the same effect on you as others. Therefore, you should stop being on autoship and direct your money to something that will make you happy. Don't do something because someone else is making you. I personally don't want anyone buying/selling MonaVie if they are not drinking it with benefits. To me, this juice is a gift.
Posted by: Susan | January 02, 2008 at 10:12 AM
Now it fixes Asthama add this to blood problems cancer bone problems etc etc gets rid of wheel chairs, all this and you can make a millon dollars day. Gee
Posted by: michaeljp | January 02, 2008 at 02:06 AM
MonaVie does NOT make claims. Plus, if you look carefully on their website, you can print alot of the info (off PDF) so you don't have to buy tons of tools. The main tool is the juice and your word of mouth. You have to drink it and when people ask you what you are doing, there it is. As far as asthma, it has helped me. MonaVie did not make any claims at all. I started drinking this because a friend gave it to me thinking it would help with my aches and pains. What a big bonus to be able to breathe again. You all can poo-poo MonaVie all you want. Nothing you say or do will make me stop drinking it.
Posted by: Susan | January 01, 2008 at 06:24 PM
I don't feel the need to discuss dollars and cents and it's not because I am not making money because I am but in the interest of an intelligent response I can tell you I make a hundred a week to 530 a week, off of 42 people in my lesser leg, not all on autoship and it depends on what weeks the autoships ship out that determines the amount.
Somehow you missed some real good points while you were trying to come up with "dummy"?
Some peoples lives have been saved, many lives have been helped, and many have been prospered, and all you can come back with is how much some people at the top are making?
You are too shallow to have a discussion with and I was hoping for something a little more but you obviously have no game.
Too bad people at the top are making money? GEEZ!
Not sure if you work but guess what, somebody at the top in just about every field is making money.
Sam Walton must have been a pretty evil dude because he made a ton while people with legit jobs only make so much less. How unfair is that?
People go to work every single day and work for most of their best years fo much less than the folks at the top and now somehow that is a bad concept?
Get your head out of your butt and look at what I said.
People are being helped. Not just a few but many. Some lives have been allowed to live and they attribute it to drinking this juice.
If you don't like it then spend your time and energy trying to make it out to be a bad thing but it's a waste of your time.
You sound like you could use some MonaVie because your life is obviously filled with sour grapes.
LOL!
Too bad for you.
Some people are not happy unless they are unhappy!
I enjoy seeing good people getting some relief from some pretty serious stuff. I guess that part goes over your head while you try so hard to hope this thing is a bust.
I didn't want to do this. I am not a network marketing person at all. I drank it, I felt it and now I share it and my business is growing virtually by itself and my juice is free every month and I get weekly money directly deposited on my purple Visa card so in effect this evil company is paying me well to drink their juice and how can I not share that concept with people I love and care about?
You are beating your head agaist a wall and all you will get is a sore head. It's a good thing and I know it.
If I made nothing it would still be a real good thing.
What part of it helping people is it that you do not like?
Posted by: Mark | December 22, 2007 at 06:05 PM
Mark tell me just how prosperous has monavie made you? What is your weekly commission? How much do you spend to promote monavie and earn your commission? Money talks so let us hear it.
Monavie is all about "tools and training meetings". Those big shots don't make their money off the juice. They make their money selling tools and training to you! Wise up dummy!

Just thought I would give you a quick update. I went to my doctor yesterday for an update. I had some bloodwork done the other day. When my pcp got the results he was flabbergasted. He just could not believe what he was reading. My triglycerides are down a full 180!! He told me he has never seen such a remarkable result. I am also no taking one third of the coumadin that I was taking two months ago. Thank you Lord for the day you introduced me to Monavie.

Hey Berrynuts, that looks like a poor shot at a worthwhile post.
If you are really a distributor nobody is twisting your arm.
Get out, quit buying, quit drinking.
If you don't put yourself close to it you won't even know it's around.
You sound like some form of the competition expressing sour grapes.
Remember this. It's not a good product, it's a great one and it's helping multitudes of people who appreciate what it's doing for them, both in health and prosperity.
You are really making this too easy!
LOL

My best customer just called me and told me that he found a dead bug in his new bottle of MonaVie. Come on people. Can't you do anything right? I'M TIRED OF PAYING SO MUCH FOR A PRODUCT THAT IS JUST A GIMMICK FOR A FEW PEOPLE TO MAKE MONEY OFF OUR BACKS. Quit drinking. Quit selling. They will disappear back underneath the rock they crawled out from.

Hello!
I'm Wes from NC. We love Monavie over here on the Coast. I've lost a few pounds, feel better, and look younger due to the Super Juice. I haven't found anything quite like it.
I'd love to hear from other Monavie people throughout the Carolinas! My website is http://www.mymonavie.com/monavieeast. Write to me at monavieeast@yahoo.com.
Take care and God Bless!

There will always be those who look for the negatives.
Quote the figures all you like. There will always be a large percentage of folks in network marketing who basically do nothing.
I have over 400 people in my business in 4 months and a whole lot of them get in and never take time to make it their business or take the ownership necessary to see it succeed.
The fact is people who work it are making money, and why let that bother you if it's not hurting you.
If I was just getting the juice for free from my MonaVie income that would be a plus would it not?
The fact is I live in Lima, OH and I personally belong to a group of about 8,000 that started here with nobody but one, then it grew to nearly 5000 in 11 months, and there are countless testimonies of real people that I know who the juice has helped, and these are people I know personally, and who claim the juice has changed their lives in just about every major disease that nothing else can touch.
MonaVie stresses that you are to make no false claims but you have to at least be intrigued by these people I know personally who have had relief from Chrones disease, or on insulin injectors who are down to a half shot 2 times a day, or a young girl who has rheumatoid arthritis and on 20,000.00 worth of annual shots who her doctor has now taken her off the shots, or the woman with terminal cancer who's count has dropped from over 500 to in the neighborhood of 200.
This list of testimonies can go on and on.
My point is why bother to try to shoot it down?
It's a good thing and it's helping people.
And to the guy who said MLM only feeds the top, I want to make it clear that people I have under me have passed me and are making more money than I am so it's up to the individual and what they put into it but you describe a pyramid and this is no pyramid as they are illegal.
It's a good thing. It helps people, and people are making money in it as an honest business.
What would motivate the few of you who seem so angry to try to shoot it down?
The father of the young man with chrones disease, who calims that MonaVie has given him his life back doesn't think it's a bad thing, nor does his mother who sits and wipes tears from her eyes as he gives his testimony.
The woman who gave her mom with the cancer a bottle and has seen that improvement in 5 1/2 bottles doesn't think it's a bad thing.
The 29 year old kid making 10 grand a week for telling friends and family about this good product doesn't think it's a bad thing.
The single mom who a year ago was on welfare with no direction, who just closed on her own home and is making 6 figures doesn't think it's a bad thing.
There are stories like these over and over out of our 8000 people in just over one year.
In my opinion if it helps someone and you can make money it's a good thing.
If you are not into it and would like to be check it out for yourself.
It's a good thing if you want it to be.

I just had to jump into this discussion. Two years ago I suffered a triple pulmonary embolism (blood clots on the lung). Ever since then I have been plagued with problems with the circulation in my legs and feet, often suffering discomfort and numbness in my lower leg and feet. Also I had swelling of the ankles.
A few weeks ago I was introduced to Monavie by a friend. (free bottle) and after taking only for about 4 days I was aware of a noticable change for the better in the circulation in my legs and feet.
I also noticed that the black and blue patches on my legs and feet were dramatically clearing up.
On going to my pcp I had a test for cholesterol or I should say triglycerides and they had reduced dramatically, and all this in just the time it took to drink one bottle at two ounces a day.
Regardless of the skeptics on here I can certainly add testimony to this amazing food drink called Monavie. I only wish I had found it two years ago.

Can't explain what Mona Vie does but many others I know are enjoying this to. I am now a Distributor, and if you are in the the New England area or any place in the US call me (603) 927-4231.

Michaeljp:
I have been reading your posts for a while now but still have not figured out if you are for or against Mona Vie. It seems like you are venting good and bad? I noticed you mentioned how much money you are out but you can not look at it that way. Is there really a price for good health? If you are going to count how much money you have spent on Mona Vie then I suggest 2 things: 1) Start sharing Mona Vie to make some of your money back or 2) Stop counting what you spent. A lot of people go to Starbucks daily and spend $4-$5 on a coffee. What is the difference? Is it because people want the coffee? Mona Vie is no different. If you do not think that it is helping you then just stop buying it or complaing about what you are spending to avoid an argument.
Mona Vie does not list its ingredients for one primary reason: bootlegging. If Mona Vie told people what percentage of the acai berry is in every serving or the amount of glucosamine or the amount of Omega 3 or 6 fatty acids, then other people would be making their own. It is a way to keep the recipe secret. Just like KFC. Nobody knows what their secret recipe is yet nobody cares to complain about no knowing but guess what?, you still go out and buy it!!!
All I am saying is that the product works. If it does not work for you then stop using it. It is very simple.
Sorry but I think I had to get that off of my chest.
