Question Are there any downfalls about this juice that you know of? I have searched but, only heard good things.
Answer Hi Roy,
I have read the literature provided by Mona-vie and it makes it sound like this juice is the best possible juice ever known to mankind. It is elegantly marketed and seems to appeal to aging baby-boomers.
While I doubt the wonderfulness of this product, I don't think there is anything harmful -- other than the shrinking of your wallet --in the product and some research on one of the active ingredients -- acai -- is showing some promise.
I have not been able to find any double-blind studies on the product or any reliable research on the product to substantiate their testimonial claims.
I would do research on the founder of the product and decide for yourself as to its legitimacy.
I hope this has answered your question. If you have additional questions, please let me know.
