Newsweek:
Flanked by a Ferrari, a Maserati, a Bentley, a Rolls-Royce and a Lamborghini, Dallin Larsen paced the stage, swigging deeply from a bottle in his hand. "I’ll tell you what," said the tanned 49-year-old, opening his arms to the 4,000-person crowd, people are "looking for something they can count on, they can depend on, that’s constant." The stirring scene would not be out of place at a megachurch revival—except Larsen’s event, organized this June in Orlando, Fla., was bent on earning sales rather than salvation. The object of hope was not God but a dark purple fruit juice called MonaVie.
The rich syrupy blend of Brazilian açai (pronounced "ah-sigh-ee") berries and 18 other fruits has gained a cult following among those who say it can kill pain, disease and malnutrition. Packaged in wine bottles like the one Larsen gripped onstage, MonaVie retails for around $40 a pop and isn’t available in stores. Instead, the Utah-based company tore a page from the Avon lady, enlisting regular people to sell the product to friends and family. Now MonaVie claims to be one of the world’s fastest-growing private companies, with inroads on five continents, and an army of drinkers and sales apostles signing up at a rate of 10,000 a week. Earlier this year, the company announced that cumulative sales had topped $1 billion and that it had signed its millionth unsalaried sales person. "We’re blessed," says Larsen, who founded the company in 2005. (As a private organization, MonaVie isn’t required to publish financial data, making such claims difficult to judge.)
Hey Ty… do me a quick favor.. explain what makes you more qualified than Orrin Woodward as far as "choosing the right network marketing company"?
So has anyone talked about the FDA letter sent to Monavie on here? I saw a very well put together article by Ty on the false health claims at Monavie. It seems Ty is ahead of the FDA. Don't worry, I am sure they will catch up at the rate they are going. Nice comparison with the Sams Club Acai juice. Here is the link to the warning letter sent by the FDA to Monavie.

Here we go again, the herd mentality trying to talk down something they know nothing about. Why is it that less than 4% of people ever make it in ANYTHING. 96% of people work ALL their life & after 45 years working don't have any mony saved up to live a decent retirement. BECAUSE 96% of people won't do ANYTHING except complain about the govenment, taxes, their boss, the economy…etc. But when someone shows them how to get ahead in life making the "Playing Field" even for ALL they won't even pick up the phone and invite people to take a look at something that makes total sense!
We are told directly in our training to NOT make medical claims. Mona Vie makes that very clear. When someone does break the rules, it makes us all look bad. But I can understand why it is so hard not to expound on the results people are seeing. First and foremost, it is a great wellness drink. It is a part of a healthy diet. But in addition, my 73 year-old diabetic father has cut his insulin in half since drinking Mona Vie. His emails to me a exciting to read and he is very happy about how he feels lately. He's just one of many, but I know I can't use that to recruit. Then I read something about this being hype. It's not hype. its a wellnss drink. As for it being "gussied up in a wine bottle" as I read elsewhere here, why not? What makes wine get a pass on packaging? Nobody has issue with the person who buys a $100 bottle of wine, but a wellness drink that is alcohol free for $45 is open game? There aint a darn thing wrong with Mona Vie. If you think its too much money for a product without value, I look forward to seeing your articles on cigarettes, Starbucks, and McDonalds.
That's spin if I ever saw it. That "link" to the FDA letter.. was not FOR MonaVie. You know it and I know it. Come on people play nice. Show me a letter from the FDA directed AT MonaVie. Oh, and keep this weblog what it's supposed to be.. MLMBLOG.. unless Ty has any Bias he'd like to admit to.
Network marketing is closely regulated. It's very important to chose wisely the company your going to attach your good name too. I say go with an older more established company. The first 10 years are brutal for most companies, especially network marketing companies. Very, very, very few have made it more than 5 years. So if your company is under five years old, beware.
Success!

Ty, when you screen the posts before putting them up, could you please fix the grammar too? I'm kicking myself at all my end-of-day fat finger errors 🙁
Hey, I had to ask.
Josh,
I don't think I ever said that I was more qualified at anything than Orrin Woodward.
I will say that Orrin said many of the same things about Quixtar that I said about the company…only I said them about 4 years before he did.
Let me be very clear…part of choosing the right company is finding a unique product so that you are not competing with the rest of the world, would you agree?

Sorry Dude, I screen for bad language and nonsense…not for grammar and spelling.
Hey Debbie Cowley, the FDA letter was actually sent directly to a Distributor and only CCd to MonaVie, and yes everyone that hates all things MonaVie has talk about the one single letter that was sent to a MonaVie Distributor over a year ago, the one that starts off, Dear Mr. Volkes, and not Dear Mr. MonaVie,
Your concern is touching, but why weren't you helping all those poor suckers that were purchasing Enzyte on TV, and it was a mainstream business and not MLM. People were bilked for MILLIONSSS and MILLIONSSSS of dollars on this fake do nothing product. By the way, Steve Warshak, their founder just got 25 years for his little scam. Thank you FDA and FTC.
Does anyone have any links to a nutritional facts label or lab results on this product? All I see is a bunch of "hot air" claims. There's not even any mention on how the juice is derived.
I can point you in one direction. Start here:

It appears that the berries are not as we have been lead to believe…what is this so-called Opti-Acai? Marnarch is tied to Monavie LLC…the berries are pasteurized twice.
How can this compare to whole fresh fruit?
