To respond to Andrew, there are no 100% acai juices available. They are all reconstituted pulp or powder. The acai berry spoils within hours of being harvested and so needs to be processed on the spot. The MLM side of Monavie is the same as any other MLM business, some love doing it, others hate it. Each to their own, but from a medical perspective I vouch for the acai berry and recommend it to patients. Also, it is not cheap no matter where you get it from and if you think u're getting a killer deal on an acai supplement than yes, you're getting scammed. Hope this helps.

Not the 100% Acia berry that they claim! To make matters even worse, its surprising how they don't say that 2oz is too little and/or 5oz is too much. They have it mapped out exactly to where 4 bottles will be consumed within a month so you must spend 180$ a month to replenish your supply giving them a hefty income per month. PLUS! The reason they charge so much for the drink (30-45$ a bottle) is mainly because of the bottle! Becuase its in a wine looking bottle people will be willing to spend the extra cash thinking its worth it as we all know pretty dang well that if it were in a plastic sports bottle not so many people would think that its worth 45 buck.....seeing as how its not even 100% Acia i say !!SCAM!

I have several friends pushing the drink. I did like some of the products of USANA but after watching the misinformation and the "opps did I say I am a CPA or Doctor" stuff, I felt it was best to cut my losses. If you have any creditable information that I may be able to share with others regarding the path MonaVie is taking people it would be greatly appreciated. Also, terminatedramp, thanks for the heads up regarding Dallin Larsen. Funny thing I had a guy in my office pushing MonaVie and I told him after my experience with USANA I was taking a pass.

That's my two cents... MonaVie was founded by Dallin Larsen who used to be USANA’s Vice President of Sales and is related to USANA’s top paid distributor Collette Larsen. That’s my two cents…
