Mona Vie sells a few versions of a nutritional juice product through a multi level marketing system. The products are reported to have the health benefits of antioxidants as well as increasing energy and reducing aches and pains. Successful distributors can earn a good income.
Founded by Dallin Larsen, Mona Vie is based in Salt lake City, Utah. The distributor compensation plan features many different ways to make money including direct sales, bulk order bonus, first order bonus, star maker bonus, binary team commissions and executive and leadership pools. The plan is considered to be both generous and lucrative.
The arrangement seems to place juice costs at about $30-$40 per 25 ounce bottle. You may purchase at wholesale and sell at retail, for about a 15 percent mark-up. Distributorship prices are lower yet, and purchasing wholesale and distributorship pricing, will earn you bonus points and you will progress up the levels. If your customers should purchase in bulk, you will also get bonus points.
The recommended dosage of the juice in order to achieve the claimed benefits is one to two ounces twice daily. At that rate, a bottle would last about a week. The key ingredient is acai berry, from the Brazilian Amazon. Acai is considered to be a super-food due to high levels of antioxidants. Other fruits are added to created a juice blend which tastes great to some people.
As with many nutritional supplements, one hears claims that Mona Vie can increase your energy level, reduce joint pain and ward off serious medical conditions such as heart disease, hypertension and so on. Mona Vie does not make aggressive disease prevention claims in their literature so such claims are probably the work of over-zealous distributors. The company literature talks about delivering antioxidants, phytonutrients and glucosamine and esterified fatty acids in certain of their products.
Many people in the USA fail to consume the recommended servings of fruit and produce daily. It follows that nutritional supplements can be a benefit when diet does not deliver all the needed nutrients. Attention to detail is important in comparing nutritional products. I noticed that the Mona Vie literature lists relatively few nutrients compared to a multi-vitamin product.
Mona Vie literature states that acai berry is the key ingredient of the product due to acai's high anti-oxidant value. The ORAC value per serving is not stated on the particular brochure that I have. A nutrition facts table on the brochure list indicates that a serving contains 20% of the daily recommended value of Vitamin C, 1% of the sodium and 3% of the total carbohydrates.
For the price of Mona Vie, I was expecting much fuller coverage of all the vitamins and minerals and a stated ORAC value per serving. Based on what I have seen, the product delivers a very narrow amount of diet supplementation at a high price. The liquid multi-vitamin supplement that I use, which is also an MLM product, costs only $30 delivered for a whole month's supply and covers all the vitamins and minerals as well as phytonutrients and antioxidants (2500 ORAC per serving). The Mona Vie juice looks very weak in comparison.
I also enjoy Xocai Healthy Chocolate, another MLM product which has acai berry as well as potent antioxidants from specially processed cocoa. One little Xocai Power Square has an ORAC value of 3,582.
If you feel that your home business should have a consumable product that people need and want and that is good value, then you may have some concerns over the cost / benefit aspect of Mona Vie. However, the company is very successful which makes it clear that they know how to market and build a distributor organization.
I have noticed that the desirability of the product and the cost of the monthly autoship are important factors that people look at when deciding whether to join a network marketing company. Since Mona Vie would not replace my multi-vitamin supplement it would be an extra monthly cost and I suspect that prospsective customers would look at it the same way.
Experienced network marketers know that having a great product does not build a business; you need great marketing as well. But marketing is certainly a lot easier if you have a product that is well priced and offers a compelling value. Mona Vie is a well respected company but I think their products are overpriced.
