Overall I think Monavie is one of the top "juice" products and provides relatively broad spectrum anti-oxidants. However I took Monavie for over 2 months and noticed nothing and I had a few other people give it a try.....nothing.
I also personally know a few people who state they got rid of arthritic aches and pains with Monavie and I believe them, that is about the limit of what a juice with lots of anti-oxidants can do.
Monavie is a player in the ORAC/HORAC anti-oxidant ratings hype war against Noni, Goji, Xango, Fruta-Vida and the newest juice, Zrii. What those companies quote are test tube anti-oxidant values (in-vivo), basically stating how well the anti-oxidant ingredient of that juice stopped the rusting of iron filings in a test tube or other test tube chemical tests.
This is a far cry from how those anti-oxidants actually perform in your body (in-situ). Frutaiga's in-situ anti-oxidant values, also referred to as "functional anti-oxidants", are many times higher than any of the juices. Frutaiga has the highest amount and score of "functional anti-oxidants" in any nutritional supplement, ounce per ounce.
Some of the labs (read Brunswick Labs letter) that have tested and supplied those anti-oxidant values quoted by "the juices" have issued public disclaimers on those ORAC results which are being marketed so heavily and state that test tube ORAC and HORAC scores are highly variable and the scores from the actual raw materials have very little to do with scores of the actual blended and diluted product. Quoting an ORAC or HORAC score is a slippery slope indeed!
Many things affect the potency of bio-availability and efficacy of a nutritional supplement including pasteurizing (heating to a certain temperature for a certain amount of time to kill microbes) which pretty much kills off any nutritional value while making a product microbe safe. Using preservatives in a nutritional product is also VERY bad. Don't let anybody fool you, preservatives are a poison meant to kill micro-organisms or inhibit their growth. Preservatives do buildup in your body and then play a role in the health of the micro-organisms that live in our bodies and are necessary for our bodies to be healthy.
Monavie pasteurizes their product and they use preservatives. Is this needed? Frutaiga does not do either and many of the other "juice" products are not pasteurized or use preservatives. I suspect Monavie does this because they have less raw material spoilage and easier manufacturing conditions which then reduces their product cost. There is no healthy reason to pasteurize or to use preservatives and many reasons not to.
From an active ingredient standpoint, any of the juices including Monavie have less than 2% of the active ingredients Frutaiga has when compared ounce to ounce, not to mention the scientific fact that their active ingredients are but a faint shadow of Frutaiga's. That is why the "juice" companies are so very careful to never state the actual amount of active ingredients in milligrams per ounce or any other unit of measure. The "juices" have such a miniscule amount of active ingredients in their product it is a poor joke and will be a serious problem for those companies when the FDA eventually starts regulating the nutritional industry.
If you have used Monavie or any of the other "juices" and gotten noticeable benefit, you should definitely give Frutaiga a 2 month try at 3 ounces per day in a split dosage. You will be astounded at the health benefits you notice when taking Frutaiga if you actually noticed any benefit from a "juice", we guarantee it.

Is Frutaiga growing at the same rate as Noni, Xango, and Monavie?
Just curious.
Is Frutaiga growing as fast as Monavie, Xango, and Noni have?
Respectfully,
Jeff
