They say money can't buy you time, but tell that to Sumner Redstone, the 84-year-old chairman of Viacom Inc. (NYSE: VIA). He spoke of his addiction to a health-drink in a recent issue of Fortune. He loves it so much, he's pushing it to all his mogul friends. His beverage of choice these days? It's called MonaVie, a dark-purple drink with a cult-like following. Allegedly chock full of antioxidants, one of its main ingredients is the Brazillian acai berry (pronounced A-sigh-ee), well known among health nuts for its anti-aging properties. It'll set you back $40 a bottle (no problem if you run in Sumner's circles), and it's sold only via private party, like Tupperware. Or Avon.
Redstone told the magazine that he was first hipped to the drink by Viacom executive Bill Roedy on a trip to Germany in January. Then he learned that his butler's sister-in-law was a fan as well. Well, what more endorsement does one require?
He bought a bottle and tried it for himself. Now he's gulping down four ounces a day. "Since I've been on
MonaVie," I haven't taken a sleeping pill," he told the magazine.
So enamored is he of the purple elixir that he slipped a bottle to Bill Clinton and Wolfgang Puck at a recent party, according to the magazine. "Just about every friend I have is on it," he said. Fans include Michael Milken and Boston Red Sox pitcher Jonathan Papelbon.
No reports yet on how Clinton likes the stuff. But it's probably only a matter of time before celebrity chef Puck introduces a meat dish with a MonaVie reduction sauce.

So far so good. All the hype about Monavie appear
to be justified. I joined about a month ago and
am now a Star 1000. I love the star pin and
certificate Monavie sent me. This juice may change
my life. I get to meet a lot of people. I'm having
fun and making money. My parents drink it every
day and it's improving their health. Now they're
both pain free. It's funny but my mom actually says
that her skin looks clearer and younger since she's
been drinking this juice. She's 67. Maybe
Mr. Redstone is telling the truth. I think this juice
is improving the lives of thousands. who would've
thought? If you wanna improve your life, check it
out. You can enroll at www.brighart.com and oh
you need a sponsor I.D., here's mine: 461954

MonaVie is truly a special product and a values-driven company. I was recently given a three day sample from a longtime friend -- I immediately started thinking of ways to tell her "thanks but no thanks."
By the second day I could really feel the difference, less aches, less pains, less feeling my age (37). On the third day I emailed her and asked her how to get more. On the fourth day I became a distributor.
It is wonderful thing to feel better, to invest in health, and to share that with others.
MonaVie for Life!

My 90 year old mother loves MonaVie and expects to live to 100. The product sells itself and the company cares about its distributors and those harvesting the acai berry and the environment.

Mona~Vie has changed my life drastically! I was to the point where I was spending most of my time in bed. I have had severe pain for 20+ years. I was given the presentation of Mona~Vie and God spoke to me telling me this was for me and I should share it with everyone. That is just what I have been doing and I am so pleased they are also having great results!! This has been a blessing to me and others with medical problems.

My wife discovered Monavie at a 5K race in Julian California. As active and health minded individuals we are always looking for ways to improve our health. Monavie has been a tremendous blessing. Three days after using the active blend, chronic pain from a compressed disc was gone. No one told me this would happen it just did. I have been virtually pain free since. Many others are experiencing results from using this product. See more testimonials at http://www.monaviesandiego.com

As a doctor of Chiropractic for the past 16 years, I have helped many people with many different health ailments. Joint issues, such as arthritis are by far the #1 complaint that I see. Many of the patients who were coming in had horrible eating habits that were creating massive amounts of inflammation in their bodies. This situation increased the pain and discomfort of their arthritic problems. A large percentage were taking Cox-2 inhibitors such as Vioxx, Bextra and Celebrex, all of which have been shown to create other problems in the body. As do the over the counter anti-inflammatory medication (Ibuprofin, Alleve etc.) I started introducing my patient base to Monavie in May and was absolutely astounded with the results. Not only were the arthritic problems responding, but stomach issues, skin conditions, sleep pattern changes and extra energy was also noted. The Monavie, reduces free-radicals in the body, which ultimately create inflammation, it made perfect sense why these conditions were clearing out. I'm totally sold on the product and definitely promote it to anyone who will listen. It truly has been life changing for myself as well as many of my patients. If you would like to find out more about the product and company go to my website at www.mymonavie.com/drmaryspencer.

This Great Product can truly change your life. I have been on MonaVie for a few months and I am back to my old self. I have a regular sleep pattern, which I have struggled with for years, I have lost a little weight, without changing a thing that I eat, and I just plain feel better now than I did before. No more stiffness in the morning or after sitting for 15 minutes. Just give it a try., I bet it can do the same for you. God Bless.
