When I first ordered Monavie, I knew it had tasted good. My friend who I was staying with was already ordering it. I knew it made me feel good, similar to how I felt on wheatgrass, without the gross taste. However, I didn’t know it would change my Dad’s life.

When I first joined Monavie I was looking for a work from home business and I knew that in order for it to work, people had to truly enjoy the product I was representing. I didn’t just want this to be another business opportunity, I wanted this to be an income producing work at home asset for me for years to come.

So what I did is I bought a few cases of Monavie and sent it to my parents, a few friends and my brothers(2) to see what they thought of it. They weren’t looking to start a home business, I just wanted their opinion on the product. To my surprise all of them liked it. But the real magic would happen when they had to order it for themselves. Anyone like something that is free right?

Because Monavie Active has glucosamine my mother and father stopped purchasing it in the pill form, which was costing them about $35.00 a month. My mother and father have a difficult time sleeping and they noticed that they were starting to wake up less and less during the night. Little by little they were noticing subtle things that weren’t there before and they weren’t “looking” for things to happen. They actually wanted to be skeptical about the product because of the price tag. (They were drinking 3 bottles between the 2 of them each month = $75)

The magic happened when my father noticing that he felt more vibrant(my word, not his) during the day while taking the product. My Dad is 68 and very old school. Doesn’t like new things. Would new have a vegetable juice in his life. He likes the taste of Monavie and that means a lot. He’s a fussy one.

My Dad always would get up multiple times during the night. He would never sleep straight through. Now he is more and more.

My father takes Lipitor to control his high cholesterol, currently around 210 and his doctors are willing to see if Monavie can help with that. It did for my mother, but she was never on Lipitor to begin with so it’s a different set of circumstances. I’ll keep you posted as his tests come in in coming months.

My Dad won’t go a day without taking his Monavie. He has seen what it has done for my Mom(helped lower her cholesterol and lower her blood pressure) and he know how much better he feels when he takes it.

When people experience positive results themselves or with a loved one with a certain product you can bet they will be customers fro life. It is great to see my conservative a picky father enjoy something like Monavie that is really helping his overall state of well being.

We’ll see if it can help take him off of Lipitor.

If you are ever considering a home based business, always think about the long term sustainability of the product. If you are with a product or service that people value highly now and will continue to do so in the future, stick with it. If not, consider joining an opportunity that will be around for years and years to come.

In the words of my mother and father, “We will take Monavie until the day I die.” If you have a devoted customer base like this in your business, you will do well for years and years to come.

MonaVie has no control over how the product is stored once it arrives at its destination and because of this they understand that the product may not be kept in optimal conditions.  It is in these less than satisfactory conditions that the growth of potentially harmful bacteria is promoted necessitating the need for preservatives.

Citric Acid

MonaVie uses a lemon based form of citric acid but the levels of citric acid in the formula are extremely low. Citric acid is a natural preservative and is also used to add an acidic (sour) taste to foods and soft drinks. MonaVie adds this to the blend to help lower the pH. This also helps control the growth of microbes that could grow in the juice. 

Potassium Sorbate

Potassium sorbate is a potassium salt version of sorbic acid, a polyunsaturated fat used to inhibit mold growth. Sorbic acid was first isolated from the oil of the unripened rowan berry (sorbapple or mountain ash berry) in 1959 by A.W. Hoffmann. Sorbic acid obtained its name from the scientific name for mountain ash (i.e. Sorbus aucuparia, Linne), the parent of the rowan berry. The chemical structure of sorbic acid was determined some time between 1870 and 1890 (see above), and then chemically synthesized by O. Doebner in 1900.

The value of sorbic acid, or its salts, was not immediately recognized. (It would only be much later that these compounds would be appreciated for their ability to interfere with ATP metabolism in microbes, while posing no health risk when consumed by mammals.) In 1939 and 1940, E. Mueller (Germany) and C.M. Gooding (U.S.) discovered sorbic acid’s antimicrobial properties. Subsequently, in 1945, C.M. Gooding and Best Foods, Inc. were awarded the first patent for the use of sorbic acid as a fungistatic agent in foods.

Since the 1950’s, sorbic acid has been repeatedly tested for safety and efficacy, and today stands as one of the most thoroughly tested food additives in history. In fact, few substances have had the kind of extensive, rigorous, long-term testing that sorbic acid and its salts have had. It has been found to be non-toxic even when taken in large quantities, and breaks down in the body into water and carbon dioxide in the Krebs Cycle.

The all-time critic of food additives, Dr. Michael Jacobsen (founder of Center For Science In The Public Interest in Washington, D.C.), has given sorbic acid and its salts his highest rating, SAFE. He has indicated that, “the body metabolizes potassium sorbate like any other polyunsaturated fat.” Many of the most common food additives which health-conscious Americans take for granted have not received this rating: hydrolyzed vegetable proteins, common food colorings (coal tar dyes), natural liquid smoke flavorings (distillates), BHA, BHT, TBHQ, nitrates, etc.

Sodium Benzoate

Since the early 1900’s, sodium benzoate has been used as a food preservative.  It is utilized in a wide range of preservative applications due to its antimicrobial action combined with its low toxicity and low taste.  From carbonated and non-carbonated beverages, fruit and fruit juices, syrups, olives, pickles and other condiments, sodium benzoate is widely used in a number of the products we consume through everyday use.

It is used in acidic foods and products to control bacteria, mold, yeasts and other microbes and because there’s a considerable amount of time between the production and the consumption of food today, the need exists for the use of preservatives in order to prevent spoilage and undesirable alterations in color, flavor or nutrients. 

Degradation pathways for benzoic aid (produced in the body from the sodium salt) have been studied in detail and have shown the harmlessness of this substance:  75 – 80% is excreted within 6 hours, and the total dose leaves the body within about 10 hours. 

The limit of sodium benzoate in foods is not because of its toxicity, but at levels higher that 0.1% will leave an undesirable aftertaste.  Foods containing this preservative are much healthier than non-preservative foods since harmful microorganism growth is inhibited, food oxidation is prevented and food nutrients are preserved. 

Chronic toxicities were examined in rats fed diets containing up to a total of 1%.  After 4 generations there were no changes in normal patterns of growth, reproduction, lactation and no morphological abnormalities of organs.  Acute toxicity studies, where one large dose of sodium benzoate is given to animals, showed no lethal effects until 2 grams per kg. body weight was administered.  One could not eat enough foods containing sodium benzoate to even get 0.002% of this amount! 

As a preservative, sodium Benzoate preserves freshness. It also acts as a controller; meaning it controls and prevents the growth of yeasts and molds. Yeasts and molds tend to grow in fruit based products and if allowed to cultivate they can decompose a product’s nutritional content.

Yeasts and molds when permitted to thrive also produce toxic metabolites called mycotoxins, which can be hazardous to human health. Some mycotoxins may also be carcinogenic. Yeasts and molds can cause allergic reactions, infections in immune compromised individuals, and symptoms of food borne illness, such as nausea, vomiting, stomach cramps, and diarrhea.

Safety is of primary importance to MonaVie.  Sodium benzoate interacts with vitamin C to form benzene; however, benzene is only a concern if the levels of benzene are very high.  MonaVie repeatedly tests its products to check for benzene.  There are acceptable levels of benzene described as “parts per billion” and MonaVie’s products are well within the acceptable levels of benzene as outlined by the FDA and World Health Organization (WHO).

The FDA has set a standard for benzene, which naturally occurs in water, as 5 parts per billion (ppb). To help put this into perspective, this is comparable to 5 drops of benzene found in 4000 gallons of water. Results from MonaVie tests finds our products are WELL below 5 ppb. MonaVie consistently tests below 3 ppb. The possible negative effects of yeasts and molds growing in MonaVie are far greater than extremely low levels of benzene.

The Real Risk of Benzene

“There have been reports concerning benzene in soft drinks.  At issue is the reaction of sodium benzoate, a preservative, with vitamin C, which is present in many beverages.  It seems clear that in the presence of trace amounts of metals which catalyze the reaction, vitamin C produces free radicals that can convert benzoate into benzene.  That’s why some beverages have been found to contain as much as 50 ppb of benzene, ten times what is allowed in drinking water.  But when we make the calculation, we find that a liter of such a drink contains 50 micrograms of benzene, which means that even at an impossible consumption rate of 120 liters a day, we would be below the amount that has no effect in occupational workers.” (Source: The Soft Drink Industry)

Of course, soft drinks are not our only exposure to benzene.  When the U.S. Food and Drug Administration carried out a survey of seventy foods over five years, benzene was found in every item except for American cheese and vanilla ice cream.  A hamburger, for example, has 4 micrograms, but this is only one tenth of the amount of benzene in the smoke inhaled from a cigarette.  A banana can harbor up to 20 micrograms.  Still, when all exposures are added up, we are well below the levels that have been linked with leukemia.

Is the risk zero?  No.  In some unlucky person a trace of benzene may start a cascade of events that lead to cancer.  Therefore, all efforts should be made to minimize exposure to carcinogens, particularly in the workplace – but traces of benzene in soft drinks are not a big deal.  We should worry about the benzene we’re inhaling when we’re pumping gas.  That’s about 20 micrograms – but even if you let the gas station attendant pump your gas, you’ll be breathing in about 20 – 30 micrograms per hour just from the exhaust of the cars in front of you.  In comparison, the average total daily intake from diet is about 5 micrograms.

In addition it should be noted that sodium benzoate is an offshoot of benzoic acid which occurs naturally in many fruits and vegetables, including cranberries (which are present in MonaVie blends as an excellent source of antioxidants).

First of all, who is MonaVie, what does it do, and what does it has to offer? MonaVie is an MLM company that was started in 1995 by Daillin Larsen. It’s flagship product, is an Acai Berry juice. Acai Berry is not a new discovery. It has been around for many years, and grows in swarm lands. It wasn’t until recently that Acai Berry gets a lot of attention.

A brief introduction to the Acai Berry.

The Acai berry contains antioxidants, amino acids and other healthy vitamins and nutrients. Because of its health benefits, it is promoted as a general health drink by organizations such as MonaVie. As a juice, it is pleasant to drink, and an individual can include Acai Berry juice as part of his or her regular diet. A bottle of Acai Berry juice costs about $40.00, and a month’s supply will cost about $180.00.

Becoming a successful distributor.

This is a great opportunity for anyone who is in the health industry. The Acai Berry juice is affordable, is completely natural, and has no known side effects. It has been publicized by the media, and endorsed by several celebrities. In other words, as a distributor, there is little you need to do to generate awareness. Here are some tips on how to become a successful distributor.

1) Know your target market.

In order to be a successful distributor, you must have somebody to sell the products to. Here is where you need to do a little bit of homework. Take as much time as you can to understand your target market. Do they like the flavor? How much are they willing to pay? What health benefits are they looking for in a drink? These are fundamental questions that need some answers. Talk to your target market, and they will provide you with valuable feedback.

2) Believe in the product.

You have to use and believe in the product before you can sell it to anybody. If the product really works, you are the best form of advertisement. Let the product speak for itself with real life examples such as yourself. If you believe in the product, you will be able to sell with more conviction and your pitch will sound more convincing.

3) Develop a system.

As a distributor, you should see yourself as a business owner. In order for you to scale your business, you should develop a system so that you can train others to do the same. Your system may include marketing materials, testimonials, case studies, and training materials. After you yourself have achieved success with the system, you can now train others to do the same and achieve more sales.

4) Hard work.

Finally, success can only come with hard work. This is especially true if you are just starting out. But if you put in the hard work, you will eventually be able to reap the rewards and become successful.

When I first ordered Monavie, I knew it had tasted good. My friend who I was staying with was already ordering it. I knew it made me feel good, similar to how I felt on wheatgrass, without the gross taste. However, I didn’t know it would change my Mom’s life.

When I first joined Monavie I was looking for a work from home business and I knew that in order for it to work, people had to truly enjoy the product I was representing. I didn’t just want this to be another business opportunity, I wanted this to be an income producing work at home asset for me for years to come.

So what I did is I bought a few cases of Monavie and sent it to my parents, a few friends and my brothers(2) to see what they thought of it. They weren’t looking to start a home business, I just wanted their opinion on the product. To my surprise all of them liked it. But the real magic would happen when they had to order it for themselves. Anyone like something that is free right?

Because Monavie Active has glucosamine my mother and father stopped purchasing it in the pill form, which was costing them about $35.00 a month.

They actually wanted to be skeptical about the product because of the price tag. (They were drinking 3 bottles between the 2 of them each month = $75)

The magic happened when my mother went for blood work 3 months after first taking Monavie. My mother has had high blood pressure for about 10 years and has refused to take medication for it. When the nurse took her blood pressure, she didn’t believe what she saw, so she took it in the other arm just to make sure. Same results. So she went back to the original arm again to make sure she wasn’t making a mistake. The same results.

My mother’s blood pressure had dropped over 30 points from a mildly dangerous place to completely normal for her age. The nurse and doctors were stunned. She hadn’t lost any weight, yet, and the only thing new to her diet was this berry drink she said was called Monavie.

My mother’s blood pressure hadn’t changed in over 5 years. The nurses and doctor was sure she was taking something. On to the cholesterol check.

Again, similar results. Her bad cholesterol was down 30 points and her good cholesterol was up. She was bordering high cholesterol in the 190’s for her age(61) and it had been there for about the same time, 5 years.

Now a lot of people say, well the time of year matters and if she had any massive dietary changes, that can change results. Nope. My mom’s blood was taken in early February, right after the holidays, which my Mom really indulges in. My mother has had these tests done all throughout the year and the numbers were always the same.

The best part is, she has since gone back and the numbers were the same. Needless to say all of her nurses and her doctor now drink Monavie, not for the home business opportunity, but for the results they have seen it get in other people.

If you are ever considering a home based business, always think about the long term sustainability of the product. If you are with a product or service that people value highly now and will continue to do so in the future, stick with it. If not, consider joining an opportunity that will be around for years and years to come.

In the words of my mother, “I will take Monavie until the day I die.” If you have a devoted customer base like this in your business, you will do well for years and years to come.

That way, you can grow your business the easy way.

The tips to becoming a successful distributor are:

1. The first thing you have to do to become a successful MonaVie distributor is to understand your product. I know that you know about the 19 fruits that are in the juice and how great it is. However, with all the benefits the juice offers, you need to focus on one of the benefits.
