These days, now that I am older, I am no longer really interested in building muscle to get large, but my goals are more modest with simple maintenance and fat loss. Still I have found it frustrating to find any supplements over the counter that really do the things that they may claim. To further the frustration a person usually has to purchase 3 5 different supplements, know the dosage for their use and how to stack the supplements for the best results. Most people just dont have that much time or even know where to begin.
This brings me to the main point of this post I have run across a product called Mona Vie Active which is a juice blend of a number different fruits all with supposed health benefits. Now I am not going to claim that this product is an end all cure all magic drink, but I have heard numerous good things about the product. On the other hand I have read claims by a number of debunkers, mostly disgruntled former distributors for the product, making accusations against the product and its distribution. The product it self is not inexpensive as a one week supply can cost as much as $40.00 and if nothing else the vitamin and nutrient blend provided within possibly surpass anything available over the counter and that does not even take into consideration any of the possible health improvement claims that have been made be those that use the product.
The main ingredient is the Acai berry that is found in South America high atop towering palm trees in the lush Amazon Rain Forest. The acai berry has been used by modern and ancient inhabitants of the Amazon rainforests for centuries. With a protein profile similar to eggs, a monounsaturated fat and polyunsaturated fat ratio nearly identical to olvie oil, nearly 20 phytonutrients and blood-sugar-friendly glycemic index, the acai is a remarkable food. It contains several potent antioxidants, is packed with polyphenols (potent plant antioxidants) and boasts up to 30 times the anthocyanin content of red wine. Additionally, the acai berry is load with vitamins, especially vitamin E and trace minerals including copper, iron and calcium. The acai berry, along with 18 other fruit nutrients, is mixed into a delicious and energizing juice drink blend.
I have acquired a bottle of this Mona Vie Active fruit blend juice (at no cost) and took my first serving this morning. I will report in periodically to inform people if there really is any noticeable benefit to using this product. I am told that in most cases people begin to feel the effects within about three days of used. Well see.
Week three of the football season completed last night and my fantasy football team The Sheared Sheeps Shrieks is still in first place with in our league. My team had an amazing week racking up points and has opened up a lead of over 1200 points over the second place team. Even more amazing is that within all the fantasy football leagues offered by the Sporting News for this style of league play my team is ranked 733rd overall in the world. The second place team in my league is ranked 28,699th. Wow. I would never have imagined.
Tell me if this sounds at all unethical to anyone a few months ago when I had a health problem and ended up in the emergency room facility the doctor wanted me to be transferred to their hospital for over night observation. Well that meant being transferred across town. I was already ringing up quite a medical bill so I stated to the doctor in the form of a question that if it was going to cost me additional money to be transferred my wife and pastor could drive me over to the hospital. The doctor replied by telling me in front of my wife and pastor that if I was to be driven over to the hospital by other than hospital transportation I would have to be discharged and I would have to start the entire procedure over again when I arrived at the hospital. The doctor went on to state that because the two building were the same facility there would be no additional charge for being transferred to the hospital. I am now receiving billing statements for that transfer with a fee to pay. I feel like I was deceived being taken advantage of in a vulnerable situation. A part of me wants to contact one of the lawyers I know and contest the bill, especially since I have two witnesses that specifically heard the doctor tell me there would be no cost. Probably would end up costing me more to contest the bill then to pay it.
