They became a nearly 700 million dollar company in about 3 years. Very impressive indeed. The concept seems to be simple: Drink it, feel it, help it. .

For less that $40, an individual can sign up as a distributor of the MonaVie product and market it themselves. They can sell it retail, they can sell it wholesale, and they can sign up extra folks to do the same. With an aggressive compensation angle and tremendous stories of health benefits spreading like wild-fire, it seemed that the sky was the limit. That is, until, MonaVie became unable to keep its own distributors in check. One of the very inceptive stipulations of becoming a distributor is agreeing to never marketing the MonaVie product through any auction type of website, Ebay, Amazon, or the like.
