MonaVie About To Feel The Heat From Sam’s Club And Costco
Just Another Reason Why I’m Glad I Said NO To MonaVie
Sam’s Club and/or Costco is now distributing a MonaVie “clone” that costs $18 a bottle.
No minimums. No sign up fees. No hype to drink with your juice.
I’ll let the photos speak for themselves…
I just found this on Ty’s MLM Blog:
Introducing Frut A Vie:
Here is the price tag from Sam’s Club (a division of Wal-Mart) – note the comparison to MonaVie on the shelf tag:
Finally, have a look at the back label. I will be posting a comparison of ingredients soon:
Wal-Mart and Costco are not stupid either, gang. Building a business based on a juice that can be copied so easily along with hype filled testimonies that many times cross the legal line into medical claims will catch up MonaVie. The hype only lasts so long.
Update II (Ingredients):
Frut A Vie ingredients:
Proprietary blend of Acai (Freeze Dried Powder & Puree), Grape Juice, Pear Juice, Cherry Juice, Pomegranate Juice, Goji Juice (Wolfberry), Apple Juice, Cranberry Juice, Blueberry Juice, Acerola, Grape Skin Extract, Bannana, & 1140mg of Mangosteen Peel Extract. (incomplete – I am working on getting the rest of the ingredients).
MonaVie Active ingredients:
Proprietary blend of acai (freeze dried powder and puree); Fruit juice from concentrate (white grape, nashi pear, acerola, aronia, purple grape, cranberry, passion fruit, apricot, prune, kiwi, blueberry, wolfberry [goji], pomegranate, and lychee, camu camu); fruit purees (pear, banana, bilberry);d-glucosamine hydrochloride, esterified fatty acids, natural flavor, citric acid, sodium benzoate, potassium sorbate.
I also found a review of Frut A Vie on the Sam’s Club site:

By: judy This is great stuff! The acai fruit is the most healthful berry you can take and if you put a once in your smoothie it tasted great. Please bring it back!!

ORAC Values:
MonaVie has an ORAC score of 1027 per oz.
Frut A Vie has an ORAC score of 3500 per oz.
An Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) score is a test tube analysis that measures the antioxidant levels of food and other chemical substances. If a food has a high ORAC score, then it means the food is high in antioxidants. The antioxidant’s strength is its ability to eliminate oxygen free radicals.
This is one reason why I don’t go for hyped out “one super product” companies…because it’s just a matter of time before the marketplace has a competitive product at half the price.
I am so happy to be with a company like Liberty Health Net with solid proven products at reasonable prices and with a Kick butt comp plan that pays and allows the little guy to make money without spending hundreds of dollars for over priced products every month.

You idiots that are jealous of MonaVie’s growth, need to do research before posting ALL THESE LIES about “The Fastest Growing Company” FRUIT A VIE was put out of business LAST YEAR due to trying to copy the company EVERYONE tryes to compare themselves with…. example: yeah dude my Hyunday is as good as your BMW…
Looks like this post is hitting a nerve with some people.
CHECK THE FACTS…Frut a Vie is in business strong as ever…

There are other products that surpass MonaVie in quality and ORAC with a much lower cost.
I’ll put up some later on this blog.
Keep the great comments coming!
You are definitely right that Monavie is in for a shock. I have been reading the reviews from people at ….. Looks like all the people that have been helped happen to be distributors. There is simply no way the juice is worth the prices they charge.
A couple of days ago, I found Frut a Vie. Boy, was I happy. At $40 a week on Mona Vie, one can compare it to gas prices.
I found, at Whole Foods, something even better and less expensive (yes, even at Whole Paycheck). It is called AcaiRaw from w.amazon-mania.com. It is unpasteurized and you get 100% Acai Berry.
Here is the information I found on amazon-mania’s wesite about the processing time of the Acai berry. This is very important … Açaí is an unstable fruit that begins to ferment within 24 hours of harvest. It is vital that the harvested açaí be frozen quickly to preserve its nutrients. That is why we put into practice manufacturing procedures that ensure the açaí gets processed within 6 to 8 hours of harvest and therefore loses no essential nutrients. As a result, you receive all the healthy benefits açaí has to offer.
I found out from Mona Vie that they process their acai berries after 48 hours. That will explain their low ORAC count.
I found a company call Sambazon,(sambazon.com) that has several acai products. I drink one called Amazon Energy made with acai berry juice.Gives me a level boost throughout the day, not a sudden high like Red Bull and then a sudden drop. It is just there and at the end of the day, I am not exhausted. Just bought the first bottle of Frut Avie. I hope it works.
