Monavie is not off to a good start!
If you are looking — or have ever looked — for a source of acai juice, then you may have come across Monavie. Most likely you passed this product by since it is almost twice the price of the other products on the market. If you didn’t then you may have tried it out then given up, realising that the Monavie acai juice actually has very little acai in it at all.
The Monavie product has have a very dark background and it does not stop at providing sub-standard products to its unsuspecting customers. It has enraged nutritionists, scientists and even the government by telling potential buyers that its acai juice does a lot more than it can prove. We know that acai juice is good for us, but we don’t know exactly what it can do. Suggesting, as the Monavie product did, that its Monavie juice can prevent cancer and diabetes is more than simply misleading, it is bordering on fraudulent.
Monavie is particularly unpopular within the acai juice industry. It claimed that the juice contained Celadrin. Quite simply it didn’t and Imagenetix — owner of the Celadrin trademark — started litigation proceedings against Monavie.
It has not been an easy ride for Monavie, but you can only say that they brought this upon themselves.
