Ever since Oprah presented Acai Berry as the #1 super food, sales have taken off. You cannot fight the power of Oprah to promote products.

Acai is the main fruit in MonaVie, a blend of 19 fruits.

According to the article, "Roxie Fransway-Greening of Eau Claire's Angel Care Healing Touch in Altoona, has been hooked on MonaVie, a highly concentrated acai berry in a liquid.

"I loved the flavor immediately," Fransway-Greening said.

Since taking the directed 6 ounces twice daily, she has lost weight and has constant energy. The acai berry is also composed of essential fats and oils such as Omega 3, which stimulates blood circulation and long-lasting energy creating complex carbohydrates, Fransway-Greening said."

I know of no direction in any format from MonaVie to drink 6 ounces twice daily. The directions, clearly printed on the bottle, say that the recommended use is 1 to 2 ounces twice a day. A serving size is 1 fl oz. If one drinks 6 ounces twice a day, that is by choice. Some people drink it by the bottle or more each day. Those are the ones who can definitely afford it and they are definitely saturating their bodies with antioxidants. I will gladly sign up anyone who wishes to become a member of my team. Becoming a member of my team will qualify you to buy MonaVie for the wholesale price and will qualify you to learn how you can eventually get your MonaVie for FREE. Just go to mymonavie.com/tuckandpeggy to find out all about it.

I think you might be stretching it a bit on some of these points, my friend. I've been drinking MonaVie for over a year and some of these claims of the acai berry are not totally true, inasmuch, not everyone will be affected in the same way. For instance, earlier this year I was diagnose with Type 2 Diabetes; one of your points says, quote "Alleviates diabetes" and another one says, quote "Helps stabilize normal blood sugar levels", which leaves me to believe that you didn't fully research the facts or you want people to believe that you did and that what you say is totally true. There are other points that are questionable in their validity. But I do agree with you that MonaVie is absolutely phenomenal.

Just remember that you must be very careful of the words you choose to put MonaVie in a good light. I always emphasize that anyone considering drinking MonaVie should consult with a doctor first concerning the fruits in the blend and the possible interaction with their bodily systems. It's true that fruits and vegetables are good for you but you cannot forget about the food statement and how it wasn't meant to mitigate, diagnose, cure, or prevent diseases.

I wish you success in your business.

One problem with MonaVie and the other acai juices is that studies have shown acai to lose a lot of antioxidants when converted to liquid form. One consumer organization in Australia actually showed that a delicious red apple had about 3x the antioxidants than an acai juice.

Thanks for the tips.
I read in many popular websites like wired that- this acai berry scam has increased a lot now a days. Especially this trial offers are ripping of people. If you just do a search for acai berry trial scam - you will notice several complaints against so many companies. This is disgusting and I think it is better to buy acai from a normal road side shop than to buy it directly from the internet.

Since the acai berry has such a rapid rate of deterioration, it's highly unlikely that you'll find it in the berry style at "a normal road side shop", nor will you be able to "buy it directly from the internet".

Helpful tips. thank you so much. I found Acai Berry to be very effective. just make sure you cancel the trial if you don't want to get charged (for the "free" trial) or if not interested in getting their stuff anymore. definitely not a scam - you just have to read the fine print.

The acai berry comes from the rainforest in Brazil. It is loaded with amazing levels of both soluble and insoluble fiber. Fiber is the main base to any good colon cleansing product because it helps the colon to relieve itself of all the waste material, parasites, toxins and bad bacteria that has built up over the years.

Most of the claims of this berry are all hype. It does contain a lot more nutrients that your typical fruit, but it is not the fountain of youth that everyone is claiming.
