Skeptical Supplementation
I’ve always been very suspicious of supplements and the claims their manufacturers make. Personally I limit my use of supplements to a short list of proven contenders, including whey, BCAA’s, glutamine, creatine, multivitamin, and B C and E. Like most competitive bodybuilders I believe diet is the most important component in bodybuilding success. As disciplined as I try to eat, I admit that my shortcoming is not eating enough fruits and vegetables. With a busy work schedule, I’m lucky to eat one serving of fruits and vegetables daily, and many days it really is zero. The USDA recomments 5 to 9 daily servings, and as athletes who tax our bodies much more than the average person I have to believe that more is better in this regard.
As a physical therapist I had the opportunity to attend an inservice this past week about a product called "Mona Vie". I am more skeptical than most, but I was impressed with the presentation and product, so much so that I purchased it myself and became a "distributor" to get it at a cheaper price. Basically, Mona Vie is a liquid nutritional supplement containing a blend of "super" foods very high in Antioxidants and Phytonutrients, the chief of these being the Acai berry found in the Brazilian rain forest. Two ounces twice daily gives the equivalent of 13 servings of common fruits and vegetables, something I know I’ve been lacking in my diet.
For anyone interested in improving their diet, and therefore directly improving their bodies performance and composition, please visit www.MonaVie.com and educate yourself about the acai berry. By becoming a "distributor" you can then purchase the product at a reduced cost, and if you turn others onto this revolutionary product you will actually generate income, enough to cover your own product and potentially much more. My sponsor number is 859782, and upon signing up you will be given you own. Good luck!

I tried Mona Vie at a show. GOOD stuff. But I didn’t get a chance to get some AFTER show was over. Usual running around and getting on some REAL clothes. I’ll be sure to check out the site. *smile* ~DawnMelanie

I went to a presentation and thought it may be too good to be true. But, I think this is a great product and I am signing up this week. I am glad to hear more positive things about MonaVie.
