Goji, Noni, Mangosteen and Acai: Don't Believe the Hype

Yes, this is a scam! First off, I received the "free trial" bottle. Being in a hurry, I didn't pay close attention to the fine print on that free trial website. I then received another bottle in the mail, this time it was a full bottle of the acai pills. I thought "Hmmm...I didn't order this." Then checked my bank account and this company charged my credit card for $89.31. When I called them to dispute it, I apoke with an extremely rude individual who told me that the fine print says unless you call within 14 days of receiving your "free trial" to cancel, your credit card will be charged monthly for the low price of $89.31. She was very uncooperative and down right ugly to me. To the point where she was raising her voice at me because I was upset about being charged for this product, which by the way, doesn't do anything special! I told her I was going to speak with my bank about it and she became even more irate with me. I am still in the works with them to stop any further transactions for this product. What a mess! What a HUGE scam! Don't fall for the hype! Oh, also, I found the same exact product on another website for $12. How can they get away with charging people $89 for this? It's crazy!

Yes everyone should try stuff before they dis it. Mangosteen juice is not just an antioxidant, the mangosteen peel is full of xanthones so they use the whole fruit to make the juice.

fruits and veg's from a supermarket are loaded with chemical fertilizers, growth hormones, pesticides etc.so, unless you are eating homegrown veg's from your garden, you aren't getting anywhere close to a healthy meal either, pal. This is the biggest reason people seek out anti- oxidant products like these, and they work as described, Ive tried them. I don't buckle over and get horrible gas pains from eating spicy foods anymore. Zands body flush is also an excellent way to get rid of the toxins from grocery store food. The object is to keep your blood clean and a healthy body will follow.

We must be cautious, but we mustn't allow our skepticism from seeing the facts:

- Not all juice is created equal but that doesn't mean that there aren't facts and testimonies to back up the claims of some juices

- the acai berry is the most potent form of anti-oxidant rich fruit overall (even 4 times more on the ORAC scale than goji) It is 15 times more powerful than the anti-oxidant power of blueberries. It has been proven to lower cholesterol, boost the immunite system, help with inflammation and pain, increase metabolism and many, many more benefits. It is the #1 superfood bar none.

-freeze drying the fruit preserves the nutrients that can be lost in the harvesting process

As was previously mentioned, Mona-Vie through this process has created an 18 fruit synergistic blend with acai as it's crown jewel that is helping lives all over

Sure some of these juices might be expensive but I bet you spend more in a month on junkfood and Starbucks then you would for a case of Mona-Vie.

Can we really put a price tag on our health when something works?

I completely agree with Darrell that you shouldn't be so quick to dismiss all of these supplements and 'superfoods' as scams. Seeing as how they're all (for the most part) natural and are usually grown organically, they'll probably be less toxic than say an apple or peach, which can contain residues of pesticides and other chemicals even after they're washed. I speak for myself when I say that the majority of these health products are not miracles for the majority of us looking for a quick fix, and I am generally skeptical when it comes to buying into expensive trends with doubtful benefits. But I HAVE eventually (and grudgingly) been persuaded by friends and family to buy some products, such as the Noni juices and Goji fruit and the "Miracle Fruit", which was the coolest and funnest thing I have ever tried (makes even the most sour things, i.e. lemons and limes, taste as sweet as Skittles. MMM). I think there wss some improvement to my health, though not in huge obvious ways; there was a little less digestive strain and a little more bounce in my step, though that could've just been due to everything tasting awesomely sweeter with the Miracle Fruit tablets. Didn't cure my knee pain or completely stop the frequent headaches, but I haven't gotten nosebleeds in a long while (that's a first) and I haven't gotten a cold or the flu in a while either. Hmmm....
Well either way there's nothing wrong with trying these supplements out, and certainly they can't be worse for you than, say, a month's supply of some pharmaceutical concoction with a frighteningly long list of potential side effects (I tend to buy a lot of those as well). And for the people who scoff that nothing good comes out of buying into something that may not cure cancer or lupus or whatever I have this to say: You believe in the power and effectiveness of good ol'-fashioned FDA-approved drugs, but do you know where some of those proven medicines came from? The rainforest. Yeah, that's right, same place those supplements are coming from (aspirin originally was culled from the bark of a specific willow tree, forgot which one).

The worst that can happen is maybe you get an allergic reaction, or it tastes like old cheese & athlete's foot (the noni juice), or nothing at all. Either way better you spend your money on a hyped-up health juice than a fridge full of Ego waffles, huh?
Cheers.

Wow! I've tried Acai now, its Fantastic! I lost 15 pounds in my first month but best of all i feel great :) i purchased some a year ago but they did not have any effect. Now i've found a company that sells the real deal, and they work for me great. I got mine at www.trimaslim.com/ good luck with yours, Mel x

Great stuff.

I tried acai berry after I saw the feature on Oprah and I have to say I'm impressed with the results. I ordered a free trial (well, I had to pay shipping but, it was a few dollars) after a few weeks I started noticing an improvement in my immune system.

Normally, I feel and get sick very often , I have diabetes and my immune system is really weak. I get sick all the time.

I tried acai since it is a powerful anti-oxidant. For those who don't know anti-oxiants help to slow down or prevent your body getting damaged from free radicals which can lead to cell dysfunction, heart disease and diabetes. Some say anti-oxidants are goodfor the immune system so that was my main reason to try it out and I believe I'm already starting to see benefits.

If anybody is interested in trying it out, I got it from here: Acai Body Treats - Acai Berry Free Trials

But perhaps Mangosteen's most remarkable quality, the characteristic that set it apart from every other medicinal fruit, was its remarkable flavor. The soft, snow-white flesh of the inner fruit was sweet and delicious, unlike other local fruits that called for an "acquired taste." The people of these tropical lands valued the Mangosteen for its healing properties,

There are many studies done it that show it is beneficial. However, some of the products might stretch the truth to try and turn a higher profit.

I would have to agree completely with this article. When taken as a direct supplement, Acai is a very potent antioxident, but you have to know why you are taking it, not just that some trace amount is in a mixed drink. You need to get this from reliable sources-do your research.

You can check out this blog for my info in regards to Acai berries and the rediculous claims about weightloss they are now making, and also the real benefits of Acai berry. http://blogs.wellnesspartners.com/?p=44

If you believe in the benefits of juices then I strongly recommend investing in a powerful juice extracting machine, go to the market every two days
and make fresh juice on a moment by moment basis(combination of vegetables and fruits).
You will be absorbing living vitamins and minerals.
Your body will love it. There's a whole world of juicing recipes free on the internet. And bottom line it will cost you alot less than buying anything which is bottled-pasteurized-dead and expensive.

friend of mine was diagnosted w/hepatitis c
somebody tell her to drink noni juice, after drank several bottles she was clear of the disese.

"Acai Burn" brand and product - complete fraud...it is not associated with Dr. Memet Oz and the freetrail is not free - they falsely promote their product and charge your credit card absurd amount......they should be put out of business for mjisleading customers

These super juice supplements are known to rejuvenate the body, increase vitality, help maintain health and improve the quality of life. Gogi, Acai, Mangosteen and Noni are the super juices for maintaining ultimate health.

To be fair to the product, I would suggest that the more natural you eat the food. The more you can get the natural nutrients of the food. Which means that it will be effective. So don't just buy a product because it contains the ingredients you need. Much better if you eat the acai berry fruit or there's a freeze acai dried powder that you can use in baking your cake or you can mix it in your food.

there's a plenty of stores who sell acai berry and freeze acai dried powder. I saw hidalgofoods selling acai powder.
