MonaVie

[PeppermintHippo]

This lady came in Rite Aid today trying to get us to sell this stuff. She kept telling us that Oprah endorsed it and all that shit. I ended up buying a bottle for 30 bux and told her that I'd see about selling it at my store, but I doubt them country folks are going to buy a bottle of this stuff for $45. She reminded me of one of the Real Housewives of...

It's actually pretty good and all you need is 1-2oz daily!



from wiki:

MonaVie contains the following ingredients listed from the most to least common: blend of açaí ( freeze-dried powder and puree); 100% fruit juice, not from concentrate (white grape, nashi pear, acerola, purple grape, cranberry, passion fruit, apricot, prune, kiwifruit, blueberry, wolfberry, pomegranate, lychee, camu camu); fruit puree (pear, banana, bilberry)and preservatives. MonaVie Active adds d-glucosamine hydrochloride and esterified fatty acids to all of the previous ingredients.

Controversy

Many skeptics view the company as another 'glorified pyramid scheme.' This is due to the $39 distributor fee and the monthly order of at least 4 bottles of juice (approximately $130 before shipping and taxes) in order to qualify for commissions. However, proponents point out that income does not depend on commissions earned by enrolling new members, nor does it rely solely on sales within the network, as MonaVie encourages personal retail sales[citation needed].

However, the study has not been published in a peer-reviewed journal and contains the following disclaimer: 'This study was conducted in a relatively small number of healthy adults. Further studies with larger sample sizes are needed before these results can be generalized to the population-at-large.'[14]

The amount of açaí is not disclosed but is listed as the leading ingredient on the nutrition facts label. Although açaí plays a large role in MonaVie's blend, the company states that the 18 other fruits were selected for their unique beneficial properties (e.g. camu camu has a high Vitamin C content) and that they didn't want to focus on one at the expense of others

JD Drew, the right fielder for the Red Sox, is apparently selling it. Because his epic contract apparently isn't enough; he needs to pad it with $40 juice.
