Just a point in logic from someone who has spent over 80 hours reading everything I could get my hands on about MonaVie on the internet. Whether it is science or faith based it is clearly had a impact on tens of thousands of lives. The science is there and if you are capable of being objective and open-minded then it would present it's case and you would bring a real debate issue to this forum. Something that helps, cures or otherwise benefits anyone even if the product did nothing for you, is something give respect to. I used it for 3 months as recommended and as a healthy young man expected very little but I got a lot. Good health costs money but I assure you bad health costs much more, Just ask your Doctor.

I have had a fantastic personal experience with Monavie.

You see, I wasn't always the good boy during my 20's. All my endless nights of partying eventually led to a bad case of recurring herpes and an STD which later gave me Parkinson's.

I tried everything to heal myself.

Everyday I ate a cup of fresh blueberries, drank LOADS of freshly squeezed pomegranate juice, cranberry juice, noni, goji, mangosteen, and puree from freeze-dried acai pulp.

I would drink atleast 10 ounces a day of each and every one of these fresh and natural juices. But nothing seemed to help.

3 months ago, a friend gave me some Monavie. Well, needless to say that after 2 weeks of drinking ONLY 3 ounces a day of Monavie, my Parkinson's disappeared and NO MORE HERPES!

The point is that 3 ounces of this amazing pasteurized fruit juice from concentrate, with its additional preservatives, can do wonders that fresh fruit and 60 ounces of fresh-squeezed were never able to do.

WOW! Who knew?

Coming from someone who went kicking and screaming to MonaVie, with a muriad of health problems due to a surgery 3 years ago. It has changed my life. It did what pharmaceuticals & physicians could not. If you have ever had health issues that could not be resolved, you will do anything to get your health back once you have lost it! You want scientific data to back up clains made by comsumers & distributors, there is plenty. You want more? Just wait it is coming later this month!

If actually read the study you will realize that it is talking about acai juice; Monavie is made with freeze dried acai, which has been published in a peer reviewed journal with a very high orac on a gram to gram basis. The article is "Antioxidant Capacity and Other Bioactivies of the Freeze-Dried Amazonian Palm Berry, Euterpe oleraceae Mart. (Acai) in the Journal of Argricultural and Food Chemistry. This study was done with input from the USDA. Look it up in PubMed. Acai juice is what you find added to the ocean spray, POM, Jamaba Juice, Robek, etc. Publishing statements about Monavie and this study that included Acai juice is irresponsible. If anything, the study bolsters Monavie and other quality products because it is not acai juice, which is the point….it is better than that.

There is no direct link to the article at Pubmed.org, but you can see it by going to the site http://www.pubmed.org and searching for "acai orac"…

Ty, can you please link us to the actual study so we can read it for ourselves?
Hate telling people that "someone said this", rather than having the link with the original information directly "from the horse's mouth" to show to people.
Thank you.

Mona vie makes Newsweek – in a rather inauspicious way:

yeah purely speculative as far as the 10's or 1000's of people drinking it every day and getting between normal to extremely evident health benefits. (sarcasm layed on really thick). The thing is I seem to be meeting tons of people every day who are healthier because of drinking wine. ("not" getting drunk and stupid either) Good grief Ty, you're really starting to scare me with your gullibility here. Oh and one last thing.. Orrin Woodward is stupid.. spread the word.

Are there any published studies on the health benefits, if any, of monavie?

Or are the supposed benefits purely speculative?

If a company has a product with great health benefits, it would help all of its distributors if they would do some clinical studies to back it up. Provide some scientific data.

"Proprietary blend" can be a smoke and mirrors game. I'm not saying that is the case with MonAvie, I have no data to back it up. It seems to be good product. I would just be more convinced with clinical trials.
